    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Well, PS3 gameplay looks smooth as butter now from what I can tell. Here is PS3 gameplay from today. Starts at 1:18:19 Also a little weird animation stuff on the PS3, but again still in beta. I am impressed by the FPS improvement though.

    Yeah there are going to be Legacy servers, and new servers. Only new players can start on new servers. New players can start on legacy servers though if they want to play with old friends. If I remember right, Legacy players won't be able to transfer to the new servers until the end of the year.

    Poor Koala. Guess he will just die now, cuz it's not like he can just go live in the giant forest right behind him, right? Fuck people for needing lumber for houses and stuff.

    Newegg has this for preorder for $20 with promo code. Not sure how newegg is on shipping though, do their games arrive on launch day if you use the free 4-7 day shipping? Anyone have experience with them? http://slickdeals.net/f/6008852-Fina...99-w-FS-Newegg

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    Haha, I've tried EVE, couldn't get into it. Too many things about the game I didn't like, and I do prefer having a character in an actual world, rather than a ship floating in space. That game did really leave a lot to be desired for me. Now if they could take that openness and put it in an...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    Yeah I agree. I want an MMO that is a living breathing escape from RL world. Not a "kill this many things to get next level" MMO like they all have been lately. What first drew me to EQ was the idea of living in this other world, trading, interacting, exploring, and yes fighting. Hell I...

    I've been flirting with the urge to resub to FFXI but have been withholding myself. I did resub a couple years ago and spent like a whole weekend day farming Ochidou's Kote and didn't log in again after that. As much as I loved the game I just don't have that much free time anymore with wife...

    I may *possibly* try it if there is a trial, or if it comes back with absolutely glowing reviews, but otherwise I am going to be in FFXIV ARR for hopefully the next few years.

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    Got this video in my email. The world looks so much different than those 2 shoddy gameplay videos that came out. Not to defend this game because I think it will be a failure, but I have to wonder if those 2 leaked videos weren't super old, or lowest settings or whatnot.

    http://www.novacrystallis.com/2013/0...-set-for-june/ Upcoming info, and "Yoshida says a PS4 version is possible as the team would like to reach a wide audience, but a final decision will be made when the time is right." Sounds to me like PS4 version will come if the game/ps4 does well...

    Considering Phase 3 is the last real "testing" phase, and phase 4 will be a trial before launch, and it sounding like phase 3 will hit in June, I am guessing June most of testing, and phase 4 start late June/early July, last a week or 2, and Launch mid/late July. I am already having withdrawls...

    It's not live yet until probably Beta 3. It will be a gathering job, and pretty straight forward.

    I dont think it will be any DPS type increase, but things like FFXI did with +%xp gain, less xp loss on death, crafting increases, etc.

    Wall of text incoming, if it's too long I can edit and spoiler it. Info can be kind of hard to find all in 1 spot on the internet so I am compiling a small list here. If they can pull all this stuff off, this game will be epic. Totally out of the left field. This is pretty much a totally...

    Not trying to defend SE here, and I don't own a PS3 so it doesn't matter to me, but that video is 2 months old, and from what I've been told, SE made a lot of engine/fps improvements for PC between phase 1 and 2 which also happened in the last 2 months. And I would imagine SE could tone down...

    This may be a repost, but if anyone wants to see what PS3 version will look like, here is a comparison video between PC and PS3. This is fairly early beta too still so I'm sure it will be optimized more before launch, but the PS3 version doesn't look too shabby really.

    This is definitely a must purchase for me. Wish launch was here already. And wish preorders with bonuses would go up too so I can preorder. I don't want to say much due to NDA, but this is 100x better than 1.0 and greatly polished for only being in phase 2 beta. It feels like FFXI HD with a...

    So anyone have any spare beta keys for this weekend's test? I am really wanting to try it. After seeing the TESO video that leaked last week, this is my only MMO on the horizon that looks like I could enjoy.

    I agree, FFXI was the best group experience imo. For 2013, FFXI is too far in the group required direction and WoW is too far in the solo direction, a game that could find a nice balance would be pretty sweet, and I don't just mean random dungeon finders with pugs to group when you are still...

    Sweet. Is this considered another part of phase 2 still, or is this phase 3? I might be able to get in if its phase 3, due to an old account I picked up.

    You forget lizards, and wasps, and elementals. And all the time spent in Yuhtunga I could never forget the little mandragora's and opo opo's, and how could you forget pugils. I must have killed thousands of those in my day. Or the night time undead in Valkurm dunes. Those were as epic as the...

    Pretty soon everything is going to be "terrorism". Just like if you take a piss in an alley, you are now a "sex offender". The whole sex offender term was abused and lost it's original intent too because of this. Some asshole pissed you off and you punched him in the face? Terrorism, you...

    Boston Marathon Explosion - Today's Topics: Public Schools

    Yeah, I think we seriously need to have a national discussion about banning cell phones and any short range communication devices like remote car starters, two way radios, etc. And probably even digital clocks/watches too. I mean think of how many lives we could save if we as a nation give...

    This is true, if you had a set group of all excellent players, and were able to get good uncontested camps with an amazing puller chain pulling, you could level fairly fast. I don't know, it just seemed much longer to me, because not having a set group, and trying to get groups together to help...

    So I am wondering how leveling speed is in this. I REALLY hope this isn't like WoW, etc, where you can grind to max level in a few weeks of heavy playing. I hope it takes months and months if you only grind. Slow leveling is one of the things I loved the most in FFXI. After about a year...

    So I can't find information on this anywhere. Are they going to add in any new classes/jobs? Like Ninja, Thief, Samurai, Dark Knight, etc? Right now the class lineup just seems a little generic. I am greatly excited for this game though, as FF11 was pretty much my favorite overall MMO.

    If anyone gets a spare key, I would love to have one to use. Loved FF11 and would love to try this game rebooted. PM me if you feel so kind.

    Tomb Raider (X360/PS3/PC)

    So far this is my #1 PC GOTY contender, even better than DMC. There are other games coming out this year that may beat it. Bioshock Infinite, Sword of Truth, Battlefield 4 etc. But so far this year, this is my #1. The attention to detail and the design of the island is just awesome. It is...

    Battlefield 4

    Yeah considering how much content there is with BF3 with all the DLC's, and how good it still looks, I am suprised they are pushing out a new one. But then again not really, considering it is EA and between BF2, 2042, Bad Company, Bad Company 2, etc, they have all come out within a couple years...
