Make FFXI X-BOX360 ONRY!

Lol i play on pc and i so loved that comment. i remember some dude who wanted the ps2 players to buy PCs so he could justify his use of the windower. Its weird how people think, instead of PS2 players buying PCs why couldnt he just buy a second PC?

Tonka,

its hard to say at this time because PS3 is not going to have an official HARDDRIVE per se. But they just announced support for Flash Drives and Toshiba (partners with Sony) is working on a 10 gb flash card which could be used to store a game like FFXI on it.

Xalien,
none of that is true. All the rumors about the hard drive being taken away were bogus. PSM interviewed Ken Katuragi last month and he said that Sony has never officially said there were removing anything.
In addition to that Sony also just announced the release of their 8 gig Memory Sticks. Memory Sticks will be the official medium for saves on the PS3 just like on a PSP so that information will be readily swappable. Why would Sony with the ability to swap memory sticks between PSP and PS3 and now with an 8 gig card suddenly swap over to 10gb flash drives?

[Xalien]

Roofus,

I'm holding the new issue of PSM in my hand (the one covering Splinter Cell) and the first story in the magazine includes the harddrive issue about PS3...
The PS3 has the capability of reading different flash formats, not just Sony's memory stick.
That's why Toshiba is working on a 6-10gig Flash Card. The PS3 will read different storage formats. In the end, I guess Sony is hoping people will want simplicity and stick to one memory storage format when playing between PS3 and PSP...but if Toshiba is offering a 10gig (or more) storage source at a cheaper price (more than likely) than Sony, I'll be on the third party band wagon when I need to fulfill my MMORPG needs.

Or SE could just get a fucking brain and hire some good game designers.

There are no speed-hackers or botters in WoW. If there are, they're reported and banned within a day.

And guess what? EVERY OTHER ONLINE GAME FOR PC CAN BE WINDOWED.

I'll never forget when an in-game friend of mine from FFXI switched over to WoW and I was talking about my custom UI in guild chat...he was like, "Blizz allows you to use custom UIs?!"

It made me sad to realize I had been playing a game with such a poor UI.

Who says you can't edit .dats on the PS2?
It has a Hard Drive.
PC had a Hard Drive.
Hell, you even installed the PS2 HD, so you know how to get it out of there, and almost all computers have more than one Hard Drive bay.
Not that hard.

Have you ever used a PS2 before? Unless you installed linux on your ps2(which would mean you can't even play FFXI anyway) you cannot edit the files... zomg

Are you retarded?

Plug the PS2 HDD into your computer. OMG ANOTHER HD ON YOUR COMPUTER!! I CAN EDIT DATS JUST LIKE ON PC FFXI!!

It's such a fucking hard concept to understand.

I almost bought a Linux PC, but the whole 'Lindows' and 'Cempron' stuff sounded like bootleg hax, so I decided not to get one. A very nice machine too. It was only $250 at Fry's, but I don't like having bootleg sounding items.

[Byozuma]

Unless your PS2 is running Windows it's using a proprietary file allocation table that only the PS2 can read. So, yeah, plug it right in but I doubt your PC will have any idea what the heck it's looking at.

[Sephirothxii]

I play on PS2 and if they dropped it I would cry. My PC is like the NM of too weak!

[Byozuma]

Yeah... my PC Ainoko scored around 820 in the benchmark... and that was on the low resolution.

Wanna know why Blizzard is able to do this so easily?

Have you heard of "The Warden"

http://www.tgdaily.com/2005/10/24/world_of..._is_it_spyware/

Last September, security software engineer Greg Hoglund, co-author of the book Rootkits: Subverting the Windows Kernel, noticed peculiar behavior while testing the development of a robotic character generator - in effect, a virtual operator for a virtual character. According to a Web site for open-source developers of such "'bots," Hoglund reported in one of its private forums that The Warden's behavior had apparently changed from what had previously been observed. Instead of looking for particular game-hacking programs, The Warden looks through all open Windows processes, searching for window titles with particular names: usually the names of known bots, which are often prefixed with the characters WoW!. Comparing Blizzard to the Gestapo, Hoglund suspected that the information being collected through this method was being passed on to Blizzard's server, and may result in Blizzard banning the 'bot character.

WoW gamers are familiar with "The Warden," which is installed as a security measure to disable known measures of cheating, and to unplug characters from the network where there is evidence of cheating. As we reported last month, some players were able to take advantage of a bug in the WoW game code, that exploited the capability of a virtual potion to inflict damage more quickly upon players with fewer experience points (XP). While this particular bug could be exploited through legitimate game play, most exploits are actually caused through direct hacking, especially by developing proxies that communicate with the server as though they were the WoW game client, reporting results that would be impossible through normal game play.

Such results can lead to the creation of virtual characters with disproportionate abilities compared to their experience, and that disrupt the stories of legitimate characters.

[Ryosorki]

what they could do like this is have
PS2 EN server
PS2 JP server
PC EN server
PC JP server
XBOX360 EN sever
XBOX360 JP server

and that would solve all complaints but theyd have to make it optional cause theyd lose a ton of people if they mandatorily forced diff language and systems onto diff servers

[Markiskyler]

um...no thanks

[Nightsx]

Well, they're not dropping ps2, but are they releasing the new expansion for it?
If not, then I would guess many ps2 users would either quit/move to pc or x-box anyways.
I really hope they doo release it on ps2 though, I've been on ps2 since the beginning

[Mr. Mister]

I dropped my PS2 while going up the stairs to my apartment... money down the drain.

No duh. I don't know why they even bothered this time too. The first Xbox was a lead ballon in Japan. (Japanese gamers must have better taste)

[darkhell87]

Anyone know why so many mobs look the same? Anyone ever play WoW? they dont have a mob look a like problem. Which game has PS2 attached to it? Anyways sony most likely has a contract over the game anyways, so we can only dream of a better game.

Nah, it's funny watching kids get angry about nothing. Most of you are easily manipulated. Sorry, but it's the truth.
