Isn't really true like it was basically all of last year. There's Cities: Skylines, Sunless Sea, and Elite: Dangerous. KSP, CK2, and EU4 have all had great updates recently. GTA5 for PC, The Witcher 3, the Guild Wars 2 expansion, and Bloodborne are coming up in the next couple months. It's too bad that Hardline is poop from a butt, but more free updates (night maps! conquest assault!) are coming down the pipe for BF4.

I really want to give this game a go at some point. Do you guys think it's going to be around for a while? I just simply don't have the time right now.

There's a fairly active goon group on a free/private server. I put so many hours into that game, holy poo poo. To this day I bet there's still a large amount of people that would still be playing the same drat 2D lovely graphics game if they didn't go and loving ruin it. I'll never wrap my ahead around the drastic changes that drove everyone away pretty much instantly.

There's an expansion coming out in June, and there's 4 million accounts that have bought time at one point or another. It's going to be around for a while.

Also i like the message of hotline miami 2 is that sequels, obsessive people and imitators will ruin franchises.

FFXI is still around, and they actually just announced the final expansion to it about 10 minutes ago. Seriously. The game has been running since 2002. They just announced that they are ending support for PS2/Xbox as of March next year.

FFXIV isn't going to go anywhere soon, especially if they stretched FFXI for 13 goddamn years. And all the goddamn work they put into taking down the game for a year and redoing the entire loving system to make something that works.

The amount of content put into each patch is insane. Major content patches are pushed out about every three months, with new story lines/raids/dungeons. The quality of life stuff compared to WoW is mind-boggling, since everything is baked in already and they don't have to deal with the spaghetti code that barely keeps WoW running.

It's still an MMO, but it's probably the best one out there right now. The PS4 version is done really, really well, too.

God drat. Last question(s). How does the leveling system work? is it strictly you level up from 1 to whatever or do they do anything different like some UO style of gaining skill points etc. What all do most people do? Just raids? I have PC and PS4 but I feel like I'd probably prefer to play it on PS4. I know the PS4 is mouse/keyboard compatible but the controller works pretty well and that's what most people use? Patches and or expansions cost money? It has a phantasy online feel no?

you level your classes from 1-50. you can switch to another class by swapping weapons at any time outside of combat/raids. Jobs are unlocked by a combination of classes- bard for example is level 30 archer and level 15 pugilist.

stats are basically gear-driven, but you do get a few points to toss wherever into traits.

there's raiding, gear progression, crafting, gathering, chocobo racing, triple triad from ffviii to play against each other or npcs, housing to build up, pvp, hunts, a shitload of stuff. lately ive been getting my crafting classes maxed out to prepare for the expansion, and doing the relic weapon questline (which is super grindy and optional)

most people i know play it on pc with a 360 pad but controller/mouse+keyboard both work fine. controllers work awesome in the game, easily the best out of any other mmo.

patches are free. the expac will cost 40 per platform, though. whats nice is that even though you have to buy the base game for each platform, you get a free month for each one.

the mac client is coming soon, too, if you're a mac user.

hell, there's a free trial if you want to try it. most goons play on the excalibur server, which is a pain to get into and is usually only open at like 5 am each day for new characters, but its worth it.

It's heavily cribbed from the higher end Western MMOs, which is why it works. Fates are GW2's active area quests, same with sight-seeing/vistas, guildleves are just WoW dailies that let you choose the scenery, Combat combos are heavily similar to EQ2's system, Dungeons operate like GW1/RIFT, the Dungeon finder makes you rate other players for being helpful/kind and rewards them for it. Hell, it even took the Learn any skill/class you want" from The Secret World.

My only gripe is that it looks anime as gently caress, but it's a Final Fantasy game so what the gently caress do you expect from it? It plays the nostalgia factor for both the older FF games by using retouched music and sound effects, as well as similar locations from the entire series. In reality its super engaging and not too difficult while not holding your hand through the entire process like a lot of MMOs since WoW's 1st expansion have been,


Sorry for all the words about gay rear end MMOs
