Roam around harassing NPCs and accidentally-clicking in combat.

It has some really obvious and fundamental flaws that make it just terrible to cope with. I feel like I have to struggle against its design. The abilities are buckshot across the interface, the inventory is a hot mess, and combat is awkward and unforgiving. The dialog trees are kind of stupid most of the time, and player customization isn’t particularly present, which is strange for a roleplaying game. I can only see that this has appeal because there have been no decent AAA games lately, and their variety is absolute shit.

Yet another MMO, but Japanese and built on a huge franchise and the smouldering remains of an abysmal failure.

I don’t understand how this is popular. It has boring repetitive abilities, a confusing layout and a terrible map system.

  • Properly named Final Fantasy XIV
  • Technically I’m looking at Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn

Fair, with flaws.

  • Supports ultrawide in so far as it paints a design outside of its normal widescreen aspect ratio.

After clearing a map, I can’t open the cage to rescue the barbarian; these people didn’t fucking play their own game.

You must fight through a bad interface to fight invading bugs.

Awkward and annoying.

A classic/vanilla World of Warcraft private server with additional modifications.

While it looks like it has hope, it fails because there are no quest markers on the minimap, so I don’t know where to find quests. I don’t want to re-live that part of things.

  • 2024-11-29 – It was nuked by Blizzard at some point, but came back up again.
