As I told Dade today-This game is a load donkey dicks wrapped in bullshit.

I have found very little about this game that is redeeming.

[D-Rider]

Dagg, what fucking server are you on?

[Daggerstrike]

None. I have canceled my account and deleted this game off my computer. I also set the DVD on fire because I feared that it would somehow make its way back onto my computer while I am sleeping. I am convinced this shit has a mind of it's own.

[D-Rider]

lol

I won't lie, I intend to at least get my free month out of it, but the only thing it's done for me so far is make me want to play FF11 one more time. :P

maybe you should get to level 30 first before you pass judgment obviously the problem is that you were left behind

[Hathen]

[Yoda]

How do you review an MMORPG exactly?  Do you update the review score everytime the game gets updated?  That seems like a lot of work.

[Annubis]

I'd assume only major updates (ie. the ones with names attached to them)

That'd be really, really dumb without rewriting the review to explain just why, say, FFXIV went up from a D+ to a B- or something. Since PC Gamer was brought up that reminds me of their Ultima Online issue, back when reviewing MMOs was a new obstacle, I recall that they rationalized that the most practical choice was to write a review when the game came out, not waiting to see it improve over months or even years, and at least for a printed magazine it's the only practical solution. In fact, I tend to think it's the only practical solution for a standard review, to better "review" an MMO you'd probably need to have a blog maintained talking about how the game is every week or month.

[kyuusei]

After initial reviews from when the MMORPG's released, any reviews after that are usually reviews of expansions. The only other thing is that we sometimes have second (or third, or fourth, etc.) opinion reviews, but they're by a different editor(s). ie. we have two Final Fantasy XI reviews sans expansions, and they're 7 months apart.

[Hathen]

You review it when it's out, because if people have to pay $50+ for it *now*, you judge it based on how the game is *now*. They're judging what came in the box. You don't get to say that the game can improve over the months unless you're in beta testing.

I eagerly await Squenix's next response/plan of action for the game.  Eagerly.
Apparently both Square stocks AND members for FF14 have taken a nice dip. =X
