    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I have sli 570s and if the game was using only 1 then I'm fine. The engine was smooth on the alpha servers any my framerates were consistently 40-60 at all times even with a lot of people on screen and spell effects.

    It was hard to tell how bad the game looked graphically over the feed. It appears to be better than GTA4.

    Thanks for all the good advice and info guys. Lots of food for thought. And dont worry, I would never quit a job, even one I hated without a backup plan and job in place.

    I totally agree on raid and progression mobs being instanced. But having a world big enough where guilds cant lock down contested mobs...is that even possible? I'd like to think it could be. I know these games aren't real life or anything but even with cars and such, travel still takes some...

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

    Those specs wont impress PC gamers, but games optimized for consoles will make some of our PC games look bad. If they can squeeze decent graphics out of systems like the 360/PS3 with 512 mb or Ram and weak GPUs, what can they do with modern hardware, with custom CPUs and GPUs and fast memory...

    If they do all that at 399.99 its a wrap and they're back to PS1 status in the industry.

    I get that travel can be tedious. But if the game is designed as a huge, open world sandbox type game, how do you prevent the power guilds from locking down all the content if they can just warp all over the world? What is your alternative?

    I'm usually a Nintendo fan, but I'm impressed. The graphics are far better then what the previous gen allowed. The specs are gonna make pc ports easier and not as dumbed down. All in all, I'm pre-ordering this.

    To be clear, I am not attacking you or calling you entitled. I am saying the mentality that the game needs to cater to you (in a general sense) is an entitlement mentality. I am not one of those that clamor for the older days. Like I've stated, I didn't even play EQ1 much. I dont find things...

    Maybe because modern games have you spoiled thinking its all about you? Sometimes, you have to look up and realize that the world (real or in-game) doesnt revolve around you and being conveinent for you. You're making supertouch's point. This entitled gamer mentality the WoW created has to...

    Fast travel in a big, open, non-instanced world will only lead to one thing. 1-2 guilds with the highest playtime having every mob worth killing on lockdown. That is reason enough alone to slow down travel and make it meaningful. I dont care how good your game is, if the average gamer is...

    The penalty comes from killing a player of your own faction. PVP against other factions is full loot FFA AFAIK.

    I'm fairly certain the next EQ game won't be on PS3 at this point but PS4 is almost a given. It is much closer to a PC if the specs are to be believed.

    I don't think classes need to go at all. I think classes give a game flavor. I'm sick of every character being able to do everything. That's what alts are for. If your world is big enough, you can see a ton of content you didn't see the first time.

    I'm fine with anyone talking here. If anyone thinks they can't do anythng "Un-WoW" like on any future MMOs, I just disagree. The next big game will come out of left field with things that people said they couldn't do. It won't be EQ1 reskinned, but it will be a tad slower and less convenient if...

    Because they shut the game down, stopped charging people and made a whole new game. That takes balls. At least enough to give them a shot.
