Try not to be so narrow minded…
What about you playing and you brother/pet/parent/girlfriend or maid for all I care slightly moves the darn box while trying to reach behind the tv to get something or whatever?
Accidents can happen, and unless you live alone or have threatened every single living or moving object in your household with a death penalty if they get close to your system, will most likely happen sooner or later…
Of course you could take extra, paranoia-like care:” What, you gonna enter the room? Lemme just save, quit, take the disc out and turn console off real quick”.

On the other hand, they DO include a warning so you can’t really do anything about the scratching besides hoping they had been more aware of the risk during design.

Meh, it’ll be fixed in the XboX 720 anyways, right?

Xbox 360 Slim “Destroys Discs If Moved”:

um wtf r u talking about? this isnt an issue for the ps3. you can juggle the ps3 while loading a disc and it wont destroy it like an xbox would
Xbox 360 Slim “Destroys Discs If Moved”:

Same thing happens if you move a PS3, normal 360, and quite a few other disc drives. Don’t move it while the disc is spinning, duh~ It’ll hit the laser, or some other part, and scratch both the disc and the internal components of the drive.

No fucking shit it destroys the discs. Would you shake your pc while you’re playing a game?

WOW GUYS, WAY TO COMPLETELY IGNORE THE ORIGINAL SOURCE IT CAME FROM. THE LEAST YOU COULD DO IF YOU’RE GOING TO OVERDRAMATIZE A SITUATION IS GIVE CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE. Destructoid deserves more than just being called ‘E3 Journalists’ by you fuckers.

Isn’t that what that Wildstar game is trying to do? Exploration and building missions and stuff?
Final Fantasy XIV “Marred By Total WTF UI”:

That was my only issue. I wish it had an open-mod support like wow or heavy customization so you not only could shrink it but change placement of objects. When I played in the RR beta, it wasn’t so bad on my PC because it was smaller than in those screenshots.
Final Fantasy XIV “Marred By Total WTF UI”:

this is actually an mmorpg so not sure what your upset about. It hardly qualifies as a jrpg. It may be a trashy mmo though. And you would destroy jp just to prevent future releases of trashy media even though it would eliminate potentially quality ones as well? fail
Final Fantasy XIV “Marred By Total WTF UI”:

first 3 screens are taken from ps3 version, everything else is from pc client
Final Fantasy XIV “Marred By Total WTF UI”:

What other type of quest would you have an MMORPG do? This is a quest driven genre, you are not supposed to be THE ONE who saves everyone, hence why when you play with a million other people the narrative is sidelined. I would like to see you come up with ideas for quests that can be replicated over thousands of times without being fetch or kill quests.
