    Your most disappointing/worst game of 2013

    Why should it be cheaper than any other 3DS game? It's not like they saved some time by using art and code from ALttP. It has the same themes and world idea, but it's 100% newly developed game with new art assets, music, story, etc. With that logic, the last 3 Call of Duty games should have...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I bought the PS3 version with PS Plus last night for $15 for the free month - will wait until PS4 client comes out to actually use it though.

    Project 1999 - Making Norrath Great Again

    You could get naked and just die repeatedly to get younger, while selling the organs from all your leftover bodies. You'd be rich.

    So his replacement is pretty much Lovie Smith right? Are there any other quality coaches out there?

    MLB Hot Stove '13-'14

    The new way to do it is give your 24-26 year olds 6-8 year contracts on a discount and never let them reach FA. That requires having a farm system that actually produces talent though.

    Soccer 2013-2014

    USA is fucked. They can't beat Ghana to save their lives and GER and POR are better. Literally the worst draw imaginable.

    MLB Hot Stove '13-'14

    And yet they just gave an oft-injured 30 year old a 7 year contract.

    NBA 2013?14 Season

    The stats are pretty much the same when you bring in per minute, yeah. Stats are not the whole story, especially in the NBA - some analytical guys are starting to realize this. Soon there will be some new stats developed once they get enough data from the new STATS LLC cameras being installed...

    Microtransactions

    The two games I play the most are Puzzle & Dragons and Path to Exile - both are awesome games with or without the micro-transactions. I think that is the key - if you build a shitty game with micro-transactions as a cash grab (Neverwinter, a lot of asian MMOs, most games in the App Store)...

    NBA 2013?14 Season

    Having watched Dirk for 13ish years in the playoffs, I know for a fact he plays better. Pretty huge sample size, too. 22 points/8 reb vs 26 and 10, with similar usage rate (One of only 3 players who avg 26/10 in the playoffs). Pretty big jump, compared to some other notable superstars who...

    NBA 2013?14 Season

    I'm really enjoying watching the Mavs this year compared to the last two when they had bad point guard play or no Dirk. Even if they can't defend that well they are scoring lights out. Dirk/Monta two-man game is awesome.

    Project 1999 - Making Norrath Great Again

    Well yeah, but it's not because of the amount of people playing. It's because the guilds with resources have level/gear capped alts (thanks to the delay between expansions) logged out at any major raid boss which completely removes the logistics of getting to raid targets before someone else does.

    Wii U

    The gamepad has a built in mic anyways - that's what I always used for Monter Hunter. There's no new Wii U controller accessory - it comes with the Gamepad, but if you want to multiplayer you'll need a Wiimote with Motion+ for each person, and maybe a couple nunchuks. A better battery for...

    Project 1999 - Making Norrath Great Again

    1) Mage and Shaman make good duo with Enc if you don't want to play a druid. 2) No more crowded than EQ back in 1999-2001, maybe less so. Seems to peak around 1k users in the evenings. But yeah, pretty much every spawn that drops something worth money is going to be camped usually but not...

    Falling out of love with gaming

    Dead Space, Mass Effect, Dragon Age have all turned to shit in their latest incarnations. The newest Bioshock was pretty good but the ones between it and the original were garbage. The Witcher is like the model of what a game franchise should be. But CD Projekt isn't controlled by some...

    Your most disappointing/worst game of 2013

    Sounds like you played it for about 4 hours, it's definitely slow and hand-holdey in the beginning. Not say it was one of the greatest JRPGs of all time but it was pretty good and the Ghibli style visuals and story are a lot of where the hype comes from.

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    It's definitely better on a technical level - stuff loads much faster and seems more stable. If their next OS guts are like Win8 and they go back to Win7 for the UI then it will be great.

    Falling out of love with gaming

    At least Nintendo is still making fun games, they don't have suits influencing how they make games. Play the new Super Maro 3D World and Zelda: A Link Between Worlds if you want some magical, amazing, fun times circa 1996.

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    Pretty sure those videos are from someone playing CoD while the game is still installing in the background. You can start playing straight away but the textures will look like ass until the game is completely done installing.

    Why did Rift fail?

    It's not a bad idea to take successful UI concepts from games that work - that shouldn't be a knock against RIFT. "Stealing" right click auto-use for pet abilities or the bag system is not a bad thing. The gameplay being a clone is, however.

    Fall 2013 Anime Thread

    Also if you really want to support the industry, a much bigger portion of the money paid to sites like Crunchyroll go towards the people who make anime than say buying a DVD/Blu-Ray. There's a reason pretty much every major studio has signed on with Crunchyroll to license their shows - they...

    Fall 2013 Anime Thread

    Yes, it simulcasts almost every show except the ones Funimation gets (which is 2-3 shows per season). I don't download anime anymore since I've been using Crunchyroll - just watch it through their app on my PS3.

    Project 1999 - Making Norrath Great Again

    I don't disagree with you, and it was mostly the same in original EQ as well. Difference being that expansions released faster and people moved on. There was always raid guilds that were 1, 2, 3, etc expansions behind.

    Project 1999 - Making Norrath Great Again

    Because Kunark has been going for 3? years now these guilds have max geared alts logged out near all the major bosses, so it's impossible for anyone else to kill them. At least that's how it was when I last played.

    Take Skyrim's awful combat and unmodded graphics, then add on-rail's questing and Barren's chat in the background. Boom, you've got ESO.

    Wii U

    You need a Wiimote/Nunchuk or a Classic Controller Pro connected to a Wiimote. You'll need a Wiimote for multiplayer games for additional players so its not a total waste.

    PS4 isn't releasing in Japan until next year - they have no games ready for it and it's a more mobile/handheld market so no rush.

    Wii U

    The Wii U does upscale Wii games to 1080p, at least it did with Xenoblade. Still has low res textures and stuff so it doesn't look any better but the text and UI are much crisper. For Xenoblade to look as good as it does in Dolphin on the Wii U it would need way better hardware - plus the...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    AO invented instancing (missions) and customizable gear (implants), it was way ahead of it's time. It was also one of the best pvp experiences i've ever had. It was the MMO I played when not raiding in EQ. But yeah, the memory leak at launch stopped it from ever being successful - great game...

    Be glad it wasn't just a straight up remake like it originally was going to be until Miyamoto stepped in.
