    DOTA 2

    A few extra bits to notice. 1. The Main stage cast does catch the sequence, but the camera is zoomed in the whole time - the slam reveals in the last second as universe is barely visible before he blinks. 2. The Russians literally do not see whats about to happen their camera man just puts...

    Star Wars: Battlefront, as told by Dice on Frostbite 3 (PS4?/XBone?/PC?)

    If you haven't played a Dice EA shooter in the last 4 years since battlefield 3, there will be a 60 dollar price point bundle of dlcs, 4 installments likely. Their target seems to charge people for 120 bucks to get a full shooter in a single calendar year with all the maps they will ever...

    DOTA 2

    There also wasn't 11 million people buying cosmetics 5 years ago - the rarity ship has sailed a long time ago in Dota. The items can't be an investment of any kind when there are that many.

    The RPG Thread

    If people are emulating older rpgs. I highly recommend playing the Digital Devil Saga games (2), and the 3 Xenosaga games. I think the Xenosaga games get a bad rap, it is one gigantic movie - but its quality through to the end. One of the most memorable set of games I've played. They...

    Fallout 4

    I'm just excited for this because I can explore like crazy, not a lot of other game types give you a chance for that experience.

    DOTA 2

    Dude, TI5 WAS the first major invite. And I'm not sure how you get 20% = half, by your argument a team couldn't change 1 player and retain their invite. Secondly EG was last Major's champion, they get an automatic bid regardless if they go 0-50 or not. Just like Newbie at TI5, and just...

    DOTA 2

    They said the top 8 of the previous major would seed into the next one. The invitations are every team in top 8 of ti5 except mvp.p. However, Vega just won ESL One, Secret Shuffled huge but placed Second. Mvp.P has looked like dog crap in SEA games - losing to teams they should never...

    DOTA 2

    They probably aren't a top 8 invite without their ESL run. It gave them an easy out to exclude MVP.P on performance (they have been bad). The other 7 teams are top 8, even if Secret is heavily shuffled plus their 2nd place finish at ESL against top competition justifies the invitation...

    Star Wars: Battlefront, as told by Dice on Frostbite 3 (PS4?/XBone?/PC?)

    Yeah, I'm out on this, but I was never heavily in the in camp. Communities and proper moderation are the cornerstone of what Multiplayer FPS have on PC over consoles. This kind of matchmaking just ensures that when friends of uneven skill group queue, the games will be filled with good...

    DOTA 2

    If you were stable and scored top 8 at TI I'm pretty sure you're a direct invite, top 8 perhaps with some roster exceptions were supposed to be the automatic birth system for future majors so we will see that in action as well. Since this window is our one and only quarter with a true post...

    The Astronomy Thread

    Was pretty much the best lunar eclipse of my personal life. Sky was clear, Moon rose up about 1/4th eclipsed from behind the mountains it looked like the Deathstar. Great clear night where I was at, decent red color once the light from the setting sun faded.

    DOTA 2

    I could be wrong, but I think Omni and Aba are classic heroes that have a disproportionate effect on winrate on games the lower in skill you go. Both of them have skill sets that you have to understand to defeat. Where as a hero like Leshrac in his previous form was winning 57% of games...

    Divinity: Original Sin 2

    This was an impressive video I thought. Really sweet console split screen seems better than it has ever been done if it works like they said.

    I think while converting to all the religions you should do it while driving out into the wilds so you aren't stuck in the city when shit hits the fan tomorrow.

    Wii U

    If all goes well, perhaps the internet will organize some of the most dedicated best map makers and create map packs/themes. The web can take over where Nintendo drops the ball on options of rating or browsing. A database of levels that is sortable by difficulty, length, pack, etc...

    I appreciate the updates even if I do not play myself. I like to see Battletech Universe games succeed, there are many more I desire to be made.

    Yes just rerolled. I wish there was more communication tools, they really made the game worse for now until they fix or add things in.

    Steam Deals and Digital Sales

    This is a remarkably good underplayed game, no idea if its been mentioned. If you like a platforming, combat explorer. The story and voice acting is very well done, its too bad it didn't get any sequels. The same guys who handled the DMC remake (which I personally enjoyed quite a...

    Tales of...

    Just to update this, the store page. Pre-order reward 3 is a copy of Tales of Symphonia which will be added to your steam library when it is available. So looks like another old console franchise is coming to PC for more than just a single installment. Pre-purchase Tales of Zestiria on...

    DOTA 2

    Look in your profile, find your trophy tab, find the experience trophy. It exists in there, that level is the one it is using. Not the 4 you think it is. The experience trophy is the new "battle points" trophy. Its not the level 4. In your trophy tab you have a level 8 battle...

    DOTA 2

    The level you see is an entirely different and new made up metric. It has nothing to do with your battle rating level, which is now gone. I'm only level 38. I'm not sure what the requirement is to start ranked, but it definitely isn't the value you think it is.

    DOTA 2

    I guess reborn is mandatory and live now, Also there is no guild anymore that I can see or find. I could just be an idiot. There is a rerolled chat room that we should populate. Just rerolled. Edit: Also if you right click on the rerolled tab once you have joined you can give it...

    Witcher 3

    25 bucks for 20 more hours of witcher seems not horribly unreasonable. Isn't the pass for two expansions @ 25? Certainly its not the value of the base game, but the base game had a stupid amount of content for the price. At 20 hours, it seems quite reasonably priced compared to what other...

    Cross country road trip

    I hope that some of it lived up to expectations, Yellowstone really requires you to have time to get out of your car and walk. The loop at old faithful is the best short 1 day walk for sure, but it definitely doesn't do the park justice. Weather really can be a downer randomly. I had...

    DOTA 2

    I'd be on Reborn, but the matchmaking, like Zaphid said, is really crap due to lack of total players. It lets wild variance in skill levels play together just to start games.

    Dark Souls 2

    He's merely saying that depending on your gear choice you can chose your own difficulty to some degree. What you've chosen is a simpler/easier gear combination than other weapons or armor that are available. Souls games just let you play what you like, but you can turn up the difficulty.

    Heroes of the Storm

    AI makes people feel good at these games - and takes the stress out of competing against other humans. I have plenty of friends who just don't enjoy the serious business of real multiplayer to get heavily into any Moba or other competitive gaming genre. It certainly can be used for testing...

    XCOM 2

    I want this game tomorrow, but just like the Witcher 3 - I'll wait until its amazing. As a fan, that's really what I want. If the game needs 6 extra months - it needs 6 extra months. Thank god they don't have to force it out the door. The Long War guys ensured we got a better...

    The second game you play in the Bloodborne/Souls series is not harder by virtue of the fact that you cut your teeth on the general design of the combat systems on the title you have played.

    When Amazon bought Twitch they had to do something about copyright. Current policy is that live broadcasts are not muted. But they have software which mutes VODs.

    Ward for your own advantage. A planted ward is better than no ward. At your level do not get obsessed with how much vision you provide. Of the 10 people in your games, none of them will effectively use the minimap for large effect. Don't shy away from playing carries and robbing...
