Warning, contains some language.

Don't know if anyone else noticed this or posted it yet. Didn't see a thread on it anywhere. I love this show, it often has pretty good/entertaining bits of news from the game industry and it's made by Loading Ready Run.

They punched our precious game in the face pretty hard, though. But, the point is kinda hard to argue against. I've seen some people making the same points throughout the forums and in discussions in game. I can only hope that the game play footage will blow peoples minds at Gamescom.

Penny Arcade... lol

A Bunch of Nerds, without a clue what they talk about. Like they did last time.. playing a game 1 hours, doesnt imply that you know shit about it. It doesnt matter if you hit the nail on the head at one con, if you leave out 500 other points which are actually pro.

Just keep feeding them $, by clicking their shit... i knew it wouldnt be wort to click it.. oh my. Bringing up Spirits Within? wtf.. yeah.. wasnt worth to watch that Nerd-Show a second time. All they did was showing a little of the trailer and then they said how its not good to show a trailer, because they did it before.

What they DID NOT mention:

Moughouse including Gardening ( Plan's to being able to purchase land for your MH )
Delivery Box
Labyrynth of OOOO
Crystal Tower
Female Roegadyn
Female Miquote
Female Highlander
Revamp of Battle Regimen System
Didnt show a single 2.0 Screenshot
Didnt show 2.0 Concept Art
Didnt mention the Beta's
Didnt mention the aprox time
Nothing about the Current Imperial Story ( may some people would like to experience it )
Nothing said about how 1.0 will turn into 2.0 ( Storywise )
Nothing about plans of more/new Mounts

etc etc etc etc etc ... need 100 more points, what they DID NOT say?

To be honest, none of the people who left FFXIV due to its extremely low launch quality are going to care at all about any of this stuff. They didn't leave the game because there were no female Roegadyn. They left it because it had a terrible game engine and there was nothing to do.

Delivery Box

If "we have a mail system now" is supposed to be a major selling point in getting people to come back to the game, you've already lost.

You dont get my point.. not even nearly.

I will show you what you did:

into:

no female Roegadyn.

What? SE PROMISED!.. no female Galka!.. the hell..

You did, what Penny-Arcade did... getting one single Item out of something and putting it into a wrong light. Maybe you should join them.. no offense tho, but thats exactly what im talking about.

[Laughlyn]

okay, that was pretty "funny" in a way.

What he said about SE making cutscenes was so true.
And marketing games this way, its just no good anymore.

I guess we will find out in a few days.

I really hope they make a good impression on me & my friends,
or this will be a very very short beta for many of us.

Not as bad as the last time they mentioned FFXIV. I mean it's what pretty much everyone has been saying for weeks now. Yeah we get it, people want gameplay footage. That's coming soon, just need to be patient. Once we get it they'll have to find something else to complain about.

Well, they chosen the best moment to say shit on FFXIV, gamescom and gameplay trailer 'n try is just 2 days from now :| they would do a better job waiting some days before saying overbeated shit

The problem is most people aren't patient enough to wait on a game they have been waiting 2 years for, and already paid for. Frankly I can never blame them for blasting this game, but I hope they give it another chance. I love it of course

I don't get everyone saying "they've spoke shit about our precious game!" 'cause like. They didn't say anything negative. The most negative thing they said was unspoken, about the final fantasy film. Why are threads on this forum voted up for saying "cutscene trailers aren't enough SE!" when they say the same thing and get responses like this?

rofl@pennyarcade in general, but come on.

[yukikaze_yanagi]

They didn't said anything positive thou. They (on purpose ?) left unspoken everything new is coming, leaving the game under a bad spot. You don't need to openly criticize something to leave a bad impression
