    Heroes of the Storm

    Ya. I'm not too worried about class balance. I do think a banning draft can fix that. I'm more worried about the lack of RPG elements in this moba. I guess i liked how traditional mobas felt like you were playng a full RPG in a 1 hour sitting. I do like the shorter games... But I don't think...

    Heroes of the Storm

    You can tell who is an idiot for who is good in go fish... The point is who is good compared to great. If we use a ladder system like Leagues... Its the difference between a gold and a diamond.. In league its pretty obvious.. So far in hots it doesn't appear to be. I'm sure there is a...

    Heroes of the Storm

    I think its deeper than just moba players vs non Moba players. Our group has both and both groups felt the same way. There just isn't enough individual impact toake your contribution feel meaningful. It's feels like original AV when 40 horde and 40 alliance just crashed into eiach other over and...

    Heroes of the Storm

    Something is missing in hots. I think its the feeling of individual play. In addition the lack of items has really led to linear gameplay. Enemy team has a lot of DMG? Can't itemize to counter it. Its not a bad game... Its just.. I dunno.. Missing something. Games don't feel that satisfying...

    Apple watch is hideous. Looks like they took unsold iphone1s cut them in half and glued a band to it. Just a terrible looking device. The iPhone 6 is a nice refresh. And its about time they got a bigger device. But its almost identical to the galaxy alpha in all ways so why switch(alpha is...

    College Football 2014-15

    Yup. I definitely agree.. Even cook after the game said the second half adjustments by Oregon on D really confused them. Still.. Im most impressed with Oregon's resolve to come back.. That's leadership and heart.. And something msu prides itself on.. Oregon was just the better team last night.

    College Football 2014-15

    I think msu's 19 point loss is the closest 19 point game I've ever watched. It was actually an incredible game that came down to a handful of plays. Mariotta is a beast of a qb and a really took over the game. I thought for sure the dducks would crumble in the 3rd when msu was in command...

    College Football 2014-15

    Should be a fun game. Msu has struggled with teams like Indiana and Nebraska that run somewhat similar offenses as Oregon.. And neither of those teams had a qb like mariota who can run and pass. Not to mention it looks like Oregon has a healthy stable of backs. I think that is a huge help...

    My wife has a huge allergic reaction to penicillin.. thus penicillin is not safe for anyone to use. The issue with the vaccine nuts is statistically, even if there was a small chance of something like autism, it is still better for society to "force" vaccines. It's one of those "greater good"...

    Yup. That was a really clever idea by valve... I'm very surprised riot didn't do the same. I'd buy a skin to support the LCS.

    Heroes of the Storm

    Yup.. my biggest complaint in league is the lvl 1-30 grind and it appears blizzard is implementing something similar... but maybe even worse cause now even the heroes i buy are gimped until I grind on them. I can accept putting in things that cost money since its F2P... but to also combine these...

    Always wish r d league had something like that. A skin that shows you have lots of experience with that specific champ

    Heroes of the Storm

    Nope I agree with you. That article made the game how I thought.. very simple. My biggest concern is that by removing individual elements they have left only one aspect for.determining the better team; teamwork. And as anyone that plays mobas knows, team play is probably the most frustrated...

    Heroes of the Storm

    I don't mind free to play. To me it rewards fun games and punishes bad ones. the old model of paying up front and hoping for the best mainly rewarded marketing.. if the game sucked it didn't matter because they already had your money. Obviously there are right and wrong ways to do F2P.. but I...

    Haha. I've been following this phone for awhile. Was actually coming here to post it today. If they deliver on their promises this thing will rock the market. Its impressive and combines the best elements of both Apple(industrial design) and android (os). Really looking forward to it

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Thought it would be cool if they had some sort of guild leveling system and one of the unlocks was in-guild trading.... then add a system for people to "llevel" up in the guild so you couldn't just guild hop... this would allow some trading with friends/family but prevent a lot of the...

    I'm still playing a bit... but letting someone be the king of brit might be one of the dumbest ideas ever...... I have been pretty impressed with just how active dungeons are and have had a lot of fun just crawling with my brother. I think out of dungeon skill gain might be a bit too slow...

    Heroes of the Storm

    Really sounds to me like MOBA-artahi basin..where the team rotates around to different objectives and tries to do that faster than their opponent... hopefully it turns out better than that.... but sounds very similar to how AB was (at least in vanilla).

    I posted the exact thing in this thread last year. Wife and I decided to fst windows phones... she had an iPhone before and me an android... we both agreed the windows phone offered the beat experience except for the app support being awful... we ended up returning the phones and getting androids.

    League Of Legends

    Leagues biggest issue is at some point the fell in love with "playmaking" moves and started giving every champ a blink.... this made champs without a blink at a severe disavdvantage. Instead of focusing on fixing the mechanics that caused the problem (mobility creep), they just keep nerfing the...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Loot 2.0 half got it right. I honestly question the game designers that are working on this game. They partially implemented a complete system without even realizing that is what they were doing. They should have realized they had two choices: 1) Keep stats as they were in d2; and just up the...

    The good: - I really like the pet idea - The graphics/movement/etc is very good quality.. what i would expect from s2 after seeing HoN - Heroes are pretty well done - I think the tutorial was the right amount of length without being too annoying - shared gold is really much more fun in...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    This post is what is wrong with the gaming community. If this game was named something other than Diablo and wasnt created by blizzard... there wouldn't even be a thread about it on these forums. Its a shallow dungeon crawler... nothing else. it has no character, no hook, a terrible story and...

    Solaire was a pussy.. so i killed him.. But ya, also used no spoilers/walkthroughs or summons for the game.. was much more enjoyable... although i did get stuck a few times because i chose horrible items/techniques. However, finally made it through and had a lot of fun. I love the DS line...

    Have you guys explored removing the courier mechanic compelty and just having a combat timer for buying items? I haven't played in beta yet... but if ur goal is to truly have a casual friendly moba, the courier seems counterproductive. I like the idea of buying without backing, but I wonder if...

    I'm the type of gamer that puts my controller down to go check on my daughter when shes napping. Its why I dont play "competitive" games anymore.

    Dark Souls 2

    Considering its classified as a single player game with coop/multiplayer option.. id say yes.. its a single player game. Apparently the downs is strong with you. Clearly you are new to video games if you consider dark souls as multiplayer. I'm sure Halo is also your favorite FPS, WoW is the...

    Dark Souls 2

    See I disagree with the "oh shit" thing. When I get invaded it just feels like a waste of time. If I win, I probably need to heal/go back to a bonfire anyway. If i lose? I start back at a bonfire. So regardless, the end result is the same. It does nothing to augment the game, it just costs me...
