Review: Avabel On Steam Is Lowest Of Low Effort

What can I say about Avabel Online?
Its interface is hideous.

The translation is as low effort as it gets.

The game doesn’t work half the time.

And it literally suggests starting out with auto-quest on before you’ve even taken your first step. Yes, Avabel makes no pretence on being fun to play, just throw that auto-play on and maybe toss developer Asobimo a few hundred bucks for the privilege of having a dull, uninspired ripoff of a mobile game play itself.

Now that Bluestacks is bridging the gap between low effort mobile games and low effort PC games, any fly by night developer can pay $100 to have their mobile title developed on the budget of a White Castle slider foisted onto the Steam Store where it will get buried under a sea of other low effort cash grabs with the only hopes of coverage in the form of ridicule from some loser living in his own basement.
Final Score: 0/10 – I’m sure at least one desperate fanboy will tell me that this game is better than anything that came out on PC.
Final Fantasy XI Is Not Being Ported To Vita

Bad news, bears. All five of you who purchased a Playstation Vita (and I include myself in that) in hopes that Square Enix would eventually port Final Fantasy XI to it, as hinted in a news post from two years ago, are going to be sorely disappointed. Interested in seeing if there was any new details on the port (there were absolutely none at the time), I asked Square Enix over Twitter if there were still plans in place to port the MMO over to the Vita. Whether through technical limitations or the poor sales of the console, I received a very simple and to the point response:
no I’m afraid not.
So that is that idea out. There is still Phantasy Star Online 2 coming to the Vita, but otherwise the market is quite barren in the realm of open world MMOs. There is always hope for the future, and as long as the Vita is still in production we can always hope that someone will care enough to port an MMO over to it.
