Hellgate: London was not that bad. It WAS bad, but playable bad. And even enjoyable up to about 30-ish level.

A little but I get what they're trying to do. 2 things mostly...
1. Trying to make their game unique from FFXI
2. Trying to stop Real Money Traders
I commend them for the first but I think the second is just silly.... well only time will tell if 14 will sink or swim.

I am actually enjoying FFXIV. Is it flawed, well yeah... but not game breaking so. Certainly not anywhere near as bad as APB and Daikatana were. Hell given time it may be just as good as FFXI was. <and no I am not an SE fan boy or a troll, just giving my opinion.>

[url=#user_comment_46281]@Patch[/url]: Daikatana was designed to be the most advanced FPS game to date with 3D graphics instead of the 2.5D like Doom and Wolfenstine(3D look by scaling 2D sprites for distance). It's considered a failure because it's release was pushed back so much and others ended up doing it first.

Never played Daikatana. Dunno.
FF XIV doesn't look like a bad game when I watch my buddy play it, but like all MMO games, unless you've got a group to play with for most of the time, it looks like it can get really boring, really fast. Same problem I have with WoW.

Hellgate: London was an awesome game, it was just released out of it's 'beta' stage too soon. Definitely needed more work.
APB..... Nice concept, but way too easy to be a total dick as the... w/e the 'cop' side was called, can't remember. Bloody stun weapons.....

Should have had Tabula Rasa instead of Daikatana considering it was the shortest lived MMO until APB beat theur record.
No claims on her? One would think the group of stuff claiming in these comics normaly would end up claiming her.

I agree with Uber Spycrab, that medic thing in the discription and comments area is so cute. Also, Spies should be able to "Lock" the ubercharge of a medic if they are ubered, so they can spah crab all they want.
I think they just need to make a MMO using the races from tactics advanced 1 not 2, 1. I think that would end up good if they had a lower price than 15 a month. One more thing Bob I agree with your last thing you said, it is better than WoW.

It has been 6 years, and multiple failed competing MMOs since WoW launched, you'd think Square-Enix would've learned a thing or too instead of releasing their second MMO in such a sorry state knowing how their first one failed to be much competition and barely even managed to stay afloat.

The sad thing is while APB didnt sell it was still a much better game than FFXIV that must have sold a ton. APB deserved to be much better but was dragged down by a ton of production problems and a constantly moving release date.

Honestly, WoW has spoiled us. If anyone can remember, WoW was far worse than FFXIV at launch. It took it a good hard year to get up to what we consider the game now. We're a little over a month into XIV, and fact of the matter is, XIV is still in a better shape than WoW was. Even compared to FFXI.
