I picked up FFXIV and they locked the server my friends play on. I can't even pay the $18 to transfer from another server. Severely limits the playerbase considering most people are going to want to play with their friends and expecting 20+ people to transfer servers is ridiculous in my opinion. That should not be required to play a game with people you know.
Well, I'd avoid that game then.
I'm going to request a refund
Seriously, y'all are welcome to join Ark on my server. By the standards of cost that have been set by FFXIFCWTFXM, it's cheap.
What is FFXIFCWTFXM? lol.
I was wondering that.

Currently installing Dying Light to co-op with some friends after dinner. It's been sitting in my steam library for far too long.

The Switch has got to be the biggest POS in gaming history.

Poor Nintendo. How you have crashed and burned.

They are only alive because they have some of the most iconic characters in the history of gaming. Their console sucks

And mostly only iconic if you played them as a child. Take that away and I don't see new people getting them unless it's the "follow the crowd" effect. It's hipster to like some Nintendo stuff for kids today. But without that effect, I don't see anyone picking up these IPs and saying "wow, this is on par with other AAA games today." For those that played them for decades, of course they are iconic and nostalgic and you are continuing a tradition and it makes sense. But you don't see many teenagers finding them to be competitive with gameplay in other games, at least not that I've seen.

Moving away from their traditional game play is doing wonders from Nintendo. Breath of the Wild would have worked just as well as a new IP as it does as a Zelda game. It's not perfect but it is very good.

You won't fool me. Nintendo got me to try too may Zelda games. I've been burned way too many times. No more Nintendo crap in this house. Wii and Wii U were their last two chances. I'm not going to be that idiot again.

Breath of the Wild is the first launch game I've ever felt genuinely justified the purchase of the system.
If other decent titles come out eventually that's just icing on this delicious Switch cake.

Honestly if you gave it to me for free, I'd not even turn it on. Seriously, I will never trust Zelda as a recommendation again. It's one of the few games that I actively would rather just stare at the wall than play.

Unlike most people my age, we didn't have Nintendo or any Zelda when I was young. So I have no nostalgic component to it, so I can only judge it on its gameplay merits. And as storytelling is my most important piece of gaming and that's the piece that Zelda skips (it's action RPG with puzzles) there's nothing to make me like it.

LOL - me either. My two younger brothers fought over gaming things when they were super young, so my dad made a decision that stuck until my parents were divorced - nothing newer than an Atari 2800 in the house.

If I had played it from the beginning or even from the 1992 release, I could see being into it today because of that. But since I didn't... it's entirely lost on me. I even have the gold cart of Ocarina, but hated the game so much I never completed it. I've given it quite the chance(s). I own nearly every entry in the series, but after the last few titles just got less and less on par with other games, I've given up trying to understand the appeal. It's just not my thing.
