Witcher 3: Once the DLC's are done and I pick this up again, with all the QOL changes such as inventory and storage this game should be a must play for a long time for anyone. Rocket League: I just hit gold 1 in 2's, 3's and solo 3's by just solo queuing. This is an amazing competitive...

For anyone with an open mind that wants to start unlock their controller's full potential and really enjoy it. To preface, I am an above average fps player with a mouse at least. The games he lists (CS/Dota) I am not interested in ever playing with my controller. These videos are about...

So, few things, no controller is ever natural, we've just used the current best versions for 10 years we have a shit load of practice. My initial feeling to the pad was that I didn't like it when I pulled it out of the box. It sat on my desk for 2 days before I decided to try and figure...

So his steam controller review is stupid and horrible bad. The thing is completely configurable. The haptic pad can be set to low/med/high/off feedback levels - his complaint comes from someone who literally hasn't played with it and doesn't want to. I've done my entire fallout 4...

You can reach 5k mmr on any hero in the pool if you are good enough at dota/that hero. Its important to understand this intellectually because people get into the habit of saying that a pick is bad or a hero is incapable. A 5k player in a 1k game can win that game on any of the heroes in...

Much love to you and yours Gravy, on this adventure we call life /Salute. I have found far more relevant and enjoyable conversation on this forum than in so many other places in life. If you graduated American High school the year EQ came out you are ~34 years. Existence is an amazing...

My one concern is that movement skills aren't created equal, and at least with a mouse and keyboard being able to play vertically is a massive advantage. For example, I'm not sure how Mccree is ever the right choice if you are sufficiently fast with a mouse and keyboard with all the...

Dota: The Esport where the whole world is actually competitive with each other. AKA White people win sometimes.

Of course its an upset, Newbee has not been good since ti4 at all. However, they are still a top 16 team in the world. That was the first game those Peru kids have ever taken off an international team. Don't diminish their accomplishment. The first players of their region to do...

Newbee been dumpster for a long time. This is more about Dota - The Moba with upsets that actually happen.

Upper bracket complete, games were pretty good. Can't wait.

Sweet, love alien swarm style dual stick games. Lots of coop hilarity.

My name doesn't work, bullshit.

My last post, I never made such a claim. I made the claim that when you want to create a skill base that resembles Dota, if you gate access to all skills (characters) it fundamentally changes both the characters you can design and the way the game plays out. I did make the suggestion that...

A game can be competitive, that doesn't mean that all competitors start on equal footing when it comes to available choices. A level 1 league account is incapable of creating the environment that its pros play under, same with hearthstone. If you pick up CS:GO, or Dota 2 your account is...

The main counter point though is if you want this to be a competitive game, you can't have people learning in a non-competitive environment with locked accounts and half the character pool. People playing a F2P account with less than 21 characters are just not playing the same game as...

This is all for gameplay reasons. It comes down to the same comparisons I've made between LoL / Dota / HotS. In LoL/Hots there are class archtypes. Characters in the archtypes compete against eachother on a power scale strictly related to their function, Tank, Bruiser, ADC, Support etc...

I don't know what others experience is with their friends, but aside from RTS games, Multiplayer FPS games on the PC are just about the last place my casual friends last, I'm certain more of them play a MOBA than an FPS. My thought was, what percentage of Blizzard's fanbase (Diablo/WoW...

People who say voice coms are hell on earth need to just go play dota 2. Voice coms are absolutely amazing for coordinating in multiplayer. Yes some people are shitheads, but if there is a button to mute whoever you want its fine. Having voice coms with appropriate reporting/mute features...

The first game is very good, I'll definitely be snagging the second one. I actually ran out of steam about 75% of the way through the first one because I found out it was part of a trilogy. So I guess I'll have to finish off the first game now.

People suggesting locked classes probably don't play much TF2. There are a lot of comments wanting to equate its core design to moba principles, such as you pick your character to start the map and that's it. When at its core this seems to be a lot more FPS than Moba, even if there are...

Best of 7 is a bad idea, 7 hyper long games is too much time to ask players to sit through unfortunately. However, a losers bracket is mandatory. There is no actual clear cut 3rd place team in the current format which seems silly. I think the week long wait between all the games really...

The custom games aspect to the Dota client may provide what you might seek. Valve just released its second custom Dota map that uses the hero pool for this years Halloween. 10v10, Imba Dota, Skillshot wars etc. Getting more support all the time.

So I didn't see this linked I don't believe, and I thought it was pretty damn stunning. Particularly the depth perception I felt when zoomed into those immensely complex cloud currents or whatever the fuck is going on there. Anyways, +1 for rad, Hopefully we get some more incredible Hubble...

Nanyang has had some enjoyable games.

Just tractor beam shit into your hold that has a value > 1000 when you destroy nerds. Do the distress beacons, say you loot some gold ingots, fuck finding an outpost, save a trader, with only gold in your inventory when you ask them to trade they will only buy what you have. Throw out...

Distress beacons - If they have traders or merchant vessels that you save if you hail them you can sell 1 item type 1-3 units for very high value. Second non distress beacons but beacons are hackable satellites which give a few potential outcomes. Up to date merchant info system wide (what...

I banged em all, and ended not alone, but killing monsters with Cyri. Geralt's world is full of beautiful women and he is sterile and immune to disease. Why let such an opportunity go to waste, besides Geralt is an explorer not a home body.

I really like having a loser's bracket even if its a volatile best of 1, only because of the story line allows for bracket rematches. These week long delays just give teams with giant support staffs unbeatable strategies and planning time. Lower bracket definitely adds some endurance to at...

So this game plays great with a gamepad. Second, the game should be visualized as quite literally a pirate ship game in the sea of space. If you are expecting a space sim, it isn't quite that other than art and setting - which is great. I've only visisted 5 systems in my world and...

If you are comfortable with the risk associated it doesn't matter. If you didn't know you might support vaporware/shitware then never put your money into it. But I for one have been waiting for years for a battletech game, and if I can get a game made by pledging my preorder, and some Btech...

I'm on the verge of impulse buying it, as long as you know the combat is more like Naval ships. My only concern is how much story driven motivation does it give? That's the only thing that gives me pause - is it just go anywhere and do tasks or is it more like Privateer with a story line...

Kickstarter tiers have also been a place to market collectibles to fans of franchises as well. As far as Battletech goes, the jackets, house items etc are another aspect to supporting these kinds of efforts where supporters of that tier are satisfied with the swag/game ratio they receive.

I don't have the same hang up on difficulty with Bethesda games, If you want a game designed around difficulty - there are hundreds of them, single and multiplayer and I love a bunch of them. An open world that lets you run any direction requires a combat system that is not developed with...

A bit more than just Mech Commander if my hopes and their pitch become reality. There was a legit RPG called Crescent Hawk's Revenge (old old). They reference it in the trailer. My buddies and I believe it will be some kind of Cross Breed between Mech Commander/CHR. It should be a lot...

This game is closing in on the 1.8 it needs for the expanded single player. Get Hype.

New system streamline in the game looks pretty good, the quirks are crazy wierd. I only took a glance at the character creation for a couple minutes seemed like my starting stats were much reduced but who knows, felt like you don't get as many, which is clearly a good data point.

So I am like 5 hours into Xenoblade Chronicles on the NewDS - if you haven't played it - the combat system is clever - its like action turn based positional something, Not sure how to describe it. The world itself feels very mmo like, quests, towns, day night cycles. If you have the DS...

The biggest thing I think they should remove is the jetpack, more for fps design reasons (it trivializes huge parts of map geography unless the maps are designed with flight in mind (see Tribes:emoji_nose: and in an Arcade style fps without wild penalties for high speed movement while firing it is...

Same story new year, what a bummer the results were the last 3 days.
