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

    Another amazing PS+ selection for the PS4. Getting a little tired of having this supposed next-gen console and playing more games on tablet and PS3 because the choice is so piss poor. Nine months down and still only own FFXIV and Killzone. D:

    I guess this is why so many people are essentially paying a monthly fee to play, "Dress-up Barbie". Which would also explain why Glamour is treated as a character advancement in its own right and tucked away behind so many blatant timesinks.

    Don't want to get into a huge quote post thing but when I'm referring to Glamour I'm talking about equipment people choose to purchase for the sole purpose of Glamour such as anAugmented Saurian Shirt of Striking. It's an iLevel 90 piece of gear so equivalent to Myth-purchased armour and behind...

    It's been a month since I played but I'm fairly certain the Augmented Armour required Demimateria when I still played. I'm not sure where you're getting this information from, do you have a link? Everything I have read on the subject states they intend for the Zodiac weapon to be comparable...

    That's slightly misleading. The best weapon you can gain currently is from T2 Coil and S-E have maintained the highest level gear will always be obtained from endgame not crafting/questing. You can completely skip crafting/materia entirely in FF14 if you choose to raid or spam the buggery out...

    Now, with all that said, what has SOE seriously released in the last ten years that has amounted to anything? I really hope I'm way off the mark here but I can't help but feel this game is going to be such an over-hyped pile of shite.

    I'm sure I read a while back they're releasing this on the PS4 only slightly different to the PC version. Is this still the case or was I having a cheese-fueled dream?

    I believe they're releasing 2.35 in two weeks time. Wouldn't expect to see 2.40 until late September/October.

    You're right in so much as that's what you receive if you just complete your weekly Marks, however, you can join a party/alliance and take down an unlimited number of Elite Ranks. Assuming you receive full contribution reward you will be receiving 50 Allied/100 Myth/40 Soldiery per kill. You...

    I did but unsubbed yesterday. Whilst that list above seems huge the truth of it is 90% of it has been invalidated by subsequent content. You either gain iLevel 110 gear (max currently aside from 115 weapons) by "raiding" T2 Coil once a week or you take part in the colossal clusterfuck that...

    Tried Moogle King for the first time this weekend with three other FC members and four randoms. We came pretty close but the DF healers couldn't stop getting charmed despite being told to stay at max distance from the King. Will probably try it tonight after CT runs with a full complement of...

    Maybe I have it completely wrong but as a DPS class your highest priority should be your weapon.

    But not better than an upgraded Artemis Zenith. Also, fuck CT loot rules. I appreciate the mechanism is there to lengthen the content but last night I snagged some Fuma pants only to see the body drop on a following run which ended up rotting.

    Well, technically monks don't have a 2.5 second CD when Greased Lightning is in place. Presumably if a Haste spell is ever introduced this will have the same impact.

    The Authoritative Final Fantasy & Bravely Default thread

    One of the things I didn't like about 9 was it forced characters on you that you didn't want to play while locking out your levelled/geared characters from specific fights. Oh, and fights which you couldn't win. Nothing quite so frustrating as "winning" a fight only to get your arse handed to...

    *PS3 and PS4 ONLY* Rerolled Chat & Gaming Group + Twitch Streams

    PSN: Electroneonpanda PS4 being delivered today and coming with Killzone. Unsure what other games to snaffle in the run up to Christmas, there doesn't seem a huge choice. Possibly BF4 and NFS:R. Really wanting a Tekken or Wipeout game to mess around on but the latter game will never happen.

    That's not the issue I see with it. Most Linkshells have 1 or 2 dedicated and geared tanks. As soon as they win a piece of gear they're locked out for a week. If they choose to pass in order to keep raiding then the healers and DD will get some loot and subsequently be locked out as well...

    I'm interested to see how much the game will retail for on the PS4. I'm currently playing it on the PS3 but if they follow the pricing model of most of the PS4 games in England and set it at ?50 ($82) I can see a bunch of people shaking their heads and walking away.

    It'd be even cooler if it was the Avengers that banish him and we get a Planet Hulk reboot.

    Different server but letting my sub run out tomorrow. Will likely renew it post 2.1 but right now levelling additional jobs is not fun for me. I prefer to use the DF but the exp is so lousy compared to the FATE spamfest. I struggle to run the same instance repeatedly for 3-4 levels when I'm...

    [NO Spoilers] Star Wars: Episode 7 - NO PUSSY SHIT

    Think you're being a bit harsh on him. Yeah, he had some turkeys but most people would kill to have Empire Strikes Back and Raiders of the Lost Ark on their resumes. Body Heat, Accidental Tourist, and The Bodyguard were all successes as well and grudgingly Jedi (fuck all Ewoks). I kind of...

    Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)

    See, I can so get my head around him banging Wonder Woman. The one issue I had with Supes and Lois was how he never blew a hole in her when he was banging her. There's some things you can control and some you can't and I don't see him being able to slow down his super jizz enough to not blow...

    Man of Steel

    The Flash is probably one of my favourite characters but outside of Prof Zoom you're struggling with anyone to really challenge him unless you have him in crossover stories. I remember years ago playing the DC RPG and it had cards with all the DC characters stats on and they had Superman...

    Man of Steel

    It's not just Batman that does this though, it's pretty much every hero I can think of. It's a familiar and tired mechanic: 1) Story starts with the villian committing some nefarious act; 2) Hero encounters villian and barely escapes with his life; 3) Hero reflects on fight and comes up with...

    Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)

    Thing is, it's not just Superman and Batman who have a no-kill policy, it's all the heroes in the mainstream DC universe (obviously excluding Vertigo etc), always has been. That comment about Batman taking issue with him killing Zod as well gives me problems. Firstly, I hope a whole chunk of...

    Man of Steel

    Thing is, I can name at least twenty memorable Batman villians. Struggling to get past three for Supes. I'd imagine it's very hard to write entertaining stories where you hero is challenged when he's literally a god in human form. You can only play the, "Oh, he's lost his powers!" card so...

    He could have just flown straight up with Zod instead of wrestling him within range of people. That's the problem most folks have with Superman, they forget he can fly which adds a whole extra dimension to combat. Sure, Zod can fly as well but Superman should be more adept as he's spent way...

    You had Artifact Armour (AF) from the class quests then Relic (AF2) from Dyna and Relic+1 (AF2+1) from the newer Dyna zones like Valkurm, Qufim, Buburimu, and Tavnazia. Empyrean Armour (AF3) came with Abyssea and you had +1 and +2 versions of that from memory.

    I agree wholeheartedly with the bolded part, however, I remember two scenes clearly from SR, the plane scene and the shoot out on the rooftop. I'm struggling to think of any standout scenes from this incarnation after having watched it three times. Going back to the plane scene, I think one...

    I think this thread is split between people who played FFXI and have (painful) experience of S-E's thought processes and those who didn't and are trying to apply a WoW tier logic to the content releases. Saying that, even EQ released non-raiding/max level content. Luclin, LDoN, Ykesha, etc...

    I started watching this on DareTV last night as they have a solid copy up. Figured I'd see if it was as awful as my initial impressions of seeing it at the cinema. I fell asleep some point around Zod appearing on Earth. Surprised I made it that far.
