Hehe Blatant Freaks reference.

I wonder where Ellis is.

I don't think you even know what that word means

[url=#user_comment_46334]@Durp[/url]: Go watch the link for the movie he was referencing. It's not supposed to be gobble, it's supposed to be gooble. Gooble gobble gooble gobble.

This is what Squeenix gets for outsourcing to those dirty nips.

@te-kun: Need just a little more moe and ero.

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.

@Setsuna

Isn't it a little discomforting that SE has managed to forget everything it learned from a game that it created 8 years ago?

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.>

You spell gobble with 2 b's not 2 o's

I for one don't care for petty squabbles between the votes of Kotaku, for as we have this site. I am pleased with that.

I love the stonecutters photo note reference!

But Marsellus Wallace don't like to be fucked by anyone except Mrs. Wallace

Congrats, the current Kotaku Sunday Comics Deathmatch results put you in the lead (@ 22.11% of the votes)

Yes, you're beating Penny Arcade

Best use of photo notes EVER!

[url=#user_comment_46307]@Iceholder[/url]: There's a censor on Nerfnow! now? Hmm... SHIT FUCK CRAP SHIT ASS FAGGOT BITCH.

I hate all those games.

Especially that Dai-katana game or whatever it's called.

You know what these games are missing? Me. That's probably why they're such failures. I mean, I've covered wars, you know?

Why not make a comic about a game that matters, eh?

take wallpaper on that minimedic :D

[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.

[url=#user_comment_46260]@ZT[/url]: FFXI peaked at 500k subscribers. FFXIV will be lucky to have that many by this time next year.

[url=#user_comment_46287]@usbfridge[/url]: They didn't claim her because there's not a clear shot of her girly parts.

[url=#user_comment_46307]@Iceholder[/url]: Sonic is dead. You should probably just accept it.

"Daikatana gonna make FF 14 his bitch!"

Also, Sonic isn't dead. The people that make his games need to quit being *&^%(%^&%&%$^&%)%*&^%^&%*%%*^!)(*&*(^&*&%*)*&%^&$*(*%($%^$*(&%*&^% is all.

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.....

Yea... Tabula Rasa... Except that it was actually playable. I have the collectors coin on a necklace xD

Wait a moment...

Nerfnow can win this!!!

Are we going to get to the part where they mutilate her and turn her into a duck? Or are one of the freaks who claims her the ones who'll do that? :<

[url=#user_comment_46293]@pingas[/url]: Which is a shame; TabRas was a good game, a good engine with a good setting. It just needed more direction and owners that weren't nucking futs.

Should have had Tabula Rasa instead of Daikatana considering it was the shortest lived MMO until APB beat theur record.

WE NEED MORE VOTES FOR NERFNOW :D

So....they're turkeys?

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.

Wait a minute, Daikatana isn't an MMO, is it? or is this a >4.0 sect?

poor poor mithra
I actually felt bad for her XD

Needs more "I CAN'T LEAVE WITHOUT MY BUDDY SUPERFLY" in here.

omg that golden age video is epic!!

If this comic was the first time you've ever heard this reference, you probably have a life.

Me, I got it as soon as it got to "one of us".

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw
That mini-medic with the hat is so freaking CUTE! :3 :D

But of course, Jo could make a version with tentacles.

But it wouldn't be the kind of tentacles you want to see.

[url=#user_comment_46265]@MrHitler[/url] Holding him with what? as far as we know, Jo always do things that he like to do, listen to positive responses and updating constantly. And oh look, a /v/ called other /v/ pot, meet kettle, kettle, pot

Personally, I can't wait to get a computer that can support FF XIV. But still, that doesn't change the fact that this comic is very, very true.

[url=#user_comment_46261]@Boolean[/url] I just the Hitler reference because of the WW2 Assassin's Creed thing amused me. Also I don't know what this Little Gamers is and find it ironic that CAD isn't even on the listing, as it shouldn't be. I did say Jo was clever, but as I stated, you lot are the ones holding him back. gb2/v/.

Hehe. Face.

Also, FF XIV and Kotaku suck.
Still, FFXIV is better than WoW IMO.

[url=#user_comment_46260]@ZT[/url]: I'm gonna assume that those two million people are either Japanese or don't exist. FFXI was a virtual ghost town, last I checked in with a poor schmuck who still plays it. Single mob camping, FTL. FFXI was a shit game, and FFXIV is the same game. Simple, ne?

404 strip

tons of hot girls, clothing 404'd

fuck year!

[url=#user_comment_46247]@Marmalade[/url]: 2 million active characters is "barely staying afloat?" Besides, all the people responsible for the bad parts of XI got promoted away to work on the flagship XIV, leaving XI in the hands of the guys responsible for the good parts.

Dear Josué! Are you planning something special for comic number 404?

Rather obscure for a reference, but very fitting.

I played Hellgate and actually I loved it despite the lag and massive glitches if the game was actually finished it would have been awesome but alas they never got it past a beta-ish version

[url=#user_comment_46254]@MrHitler[/url] with that name, obvious troll is too obvious? please go back to reading little gamers...... or whoresipping ctrl alt del..... whore

I voted for PA on account they don't have a loli complex. You're clever, Jo, but you're no better than the company you keep.

Hellgate, at least, succumbed to a fate I hope FFXIV dodges. It was rushed through beta (check), released too unpolished (check, at least according to most)... then by the time it improved, people had already given up on it. (Not yet)

Ok thats just freaking classic
See what I did there lol

APB guy looks like he's mouthing an invisible dong.

I first heard of the gooble gobble song from southpark, it peek my interest then i rented the movie. I'm glad the author makes a reference to freak :D

[url=#user_comment_46229]@Anon[/url]: 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.

You should make the one with the tentacles.

ONE OF US!! ONE OF US!! God, today's comic is such a win!

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.

I really miss working at Realtime

Feh, PA is nothing but dick jokes now. It's not nearly as funny as it used to be. I'll vote for Nerfnow. Also more FFXIV bashing, please. [url=#user_comment_46229] @Anon[/url]: You do know FFXI got worse as the game went on, right?

you got my vote Jo, buuut since penny arcade is there too i tossed them a vote aswell. the awesomeness of both NN & PA are comparably equal so i could not sway in either direction, especially that you can vote on more then one.

btw i played FFXI, and i didn't like it, so im all for more bashing.

APB could've been good, actually the game seemsed fine with it's huge openworldness. To bad it didn't workout

Zombies are also alive in one form or another, but at what price, at what price I ask you o_o

If it'll be available again for the western world at reasonable conditions i'll jump that... but til them...

Did you know that Hellgate was acquired by Koreans and is still alive and well in one form or another?
Kinda weird.

This comic somehow makes me sad... especially since HG:L and APB were games I quite liked :(

But screw FF IV, give me GW2 :I

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.

Actually I have seen the movie.

The best part is with Prince Rodrick crawling around with a knife in his mouth.

DON'T FEEL BAD. You did a fine job tossing your little fanboys away. AH HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

The last one is so much fail I've never heard of it.....

HAHHAHHAHA. I get the reference with all 3 games now. LOL. All Failures.

"The freaks of fail rpg games."

Battlefield Heroes vs. Team Fortress 2 comic post-Mann .co update would be sweet.

I voted. Now I demand the version with tentacles.

Yay, I know all of the Games and the movie. Poor FF XIV. Though, You could really make it a lot bigger. So many bad games that were supposed to be awesome...

But Hellgate is coming back though.

Aaaaaaaaand vote given :D

poor FF XIV, hope she can tolerate the others, or she will ended up as the chicken lady

Unfortunately I know the movie reference just not the games in question.

You're coming in second so far and considering Penny Arcade's in, not many could do better, good going.
Let's support more!
