    Overwatch

    I heard all this same shit in Season 1, practically word for word, and then at the end of the season Blizzard comes out and says exactly what I had been claiming all along, that they were basically fucking over anyone who played a support, Lucio especially. From all reports this is still...

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    I was going to grab one of these for my sister's kids, but for the price of the system, extension cords, another controller I can just buy them a second 3DS. In other news, Emily Rogers, who has been on the money when it comes to Switch info, is claiming Zelda won't be ready at launch and will...

    Battlefield 1

    That's not a UI slider that's a rendering resolution slider. So at 75 you are actually rendering the game lower than whatever resolution you choose. 100 is your current resolution, anything lower drops the resolution and anything higher is basically down sampling a higher resolution to your...

    Battlefield 1

    Nah, Sandy Bridge still kicks ass in just about everything. Battlefield 1 just has unusually high CPU usage across the board. The game runs great for me, even with high CPU usage but the two things that seem to help most people are limiting your frame rate by making a config file and adding...

    Tyranny

    Because I wasn't going to drop $50 without knowing I downloaded a torrent, and for anyone wondering it's basically PoE 1.5. There are slight differences but it feels exactly like playing PoE from a gameplay standpoint, so basically whatever you felt about that game is what you will think about...

    Tyranny

    Since when is gameplay "superficial bullshit"? And it's a video game, how big a mistake could it be?

    Tyranny

    I'm going to need to see some people who've played decently into the game tell me that combat isn't shit and that magic, in particular, is actually useful before I drop the cash on this bad boy. I love Obsidian games but playing PoE after D:OS was a slog and if they followed the same model with...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Anyone expecting this to cost $10 doesn't know Blizzard very well. The fact that they are tossing in a bunch of useless junk along with the character tells me it's going to be bare minimum $20 and I'd feel safer guessing $30.

    Poll What FPS are you buying this winter?

    I already own Overwatch and bought BF1 this morning after using up my 10 hour trial. I'll end up getting GoW 4 and TF2 as some point down the line, but since I'll only play the single player in those games I don't feel the need to rush out and grab them any time soon.

    Skyrim

    This version of SkyUI works well, and has the warning message removed: Dropbox - SkyUI - Ported Version 2.2 -Removed Warrning-855-1-0.zip As far as which version is better, I like the changes in the new version, there are various graphical improvements and a few behind the scenes changes will...

    Skyrim

    These two mods make playing a caster, or anything really, much smoother. Both are by the same guy and work great together. Ordinator - Perks of Skyrim at Skyrim Special Edition Nexus - Mods and Community Apocalypse - Magic of Skyrim at Skyrim Special Edition Nexus - Mods and Community

    Battlefield 1

    Man I'm awful at this game. I seem to mitigate a lot of it by being Medic and getting a bunch of heals/revives going but my k/d is utter shit. I guess I just gotta keep at it. And is me or do Scouts have pretty much no weaknesses? Seems like those guys are just as deadly from across the map or...

    The Great Indoors

    I think it's a great idea. I also think anyone who thinks that Millennials are the target demographic hasn't watched it or seen the uproar about it. As the thread title states it's clearly aimed at people who think Millennials are entitled, whiny little shits, and I think those people are who...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    Np, they just extended it another week so you'll have time for the drops or just exp boost. Not really. Most of the guides are really outdated and 1T really shook up how people are building their characters. I basically had to piece together a couple guides and then inject my own stuff into it...

    Tom Clancy's The Division

    Anyone on the fence about Underground or the season pass, it's currently 40% off through Ubisoft and you can use 100 coins to get another 20% off of that. I wasn't planning on buying it right now, but for $19 I figured why not?

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    Not to pick at you, but I've seen multiple people say that $300 is the sweet spot for this machine and I'm still trying to wrap my head around how that makes this a good buy. Even if the base cost is "only" $300 you are still going to have to add in additional costs (storage, decent controller)...

    That also look like shit. Let's not pretend that the Aztek was anything but ugly. And like Nija mentioned, both of those pics are Toyotas, who've done nothing but make their cars look worse, so using those as examples of how the Aztek was ahead of it's time doesn't really hold water. I can't...

    SWTOR

    That would be hilarious since it would automatically go into your escrow due to the low credit cap and you'd have to turn around and spend real money to access the fake money they gave you for taking away items you bought with real money...lol. They should also reimburse anyone who paid for the...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    Dunno how long you've been back playing but a huge part of the reason delves are so crowded is because of the Halloween event and everyone trying to get all the skull loot off of bosses. As soon as it's over, which is about a week from now, they will go back to mostly being empty. You should...

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    While the Wii was highly successful, it also fell off a steep cliff after the initial non-gamer surge wore off. Less than two years in it was already on the decline. Also outside of stuff like Wii Sports/Fit it has the worst attachment rate of any console ever made. It was pretty much shit as a...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    I've actually been playing this quite a bit, since Legion post leveling sucks ass, and it actually has a lot going for it. It's pretty amazing how complex builds can get with only five skills per bar and how dramatic the difference between people who know what they are doing vs those who just...

    Is it 2008, again? That Wii money ran out a long time ago and the U was a flat out disaster. Even the DS wouldn't have saved them from posting losses this year, they had to sell the Mariners to do that. Even so, the person you quoted was talking about their home console struggles, and that's...

    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    Honestly, at this point I'd say the entire point is to give Roberts an income so he can sit around and tinker on his hobby without having to find a job. The guy can drag this shit out for another decade, all the while fleecing people with virtual console spaceships, and there will still be...

    Tom Clancy's The Division

    That's quite a patch, and it seems to pretty much fix everything that is wrong with the game at this point, but I wonder if it's just too little, too late? On one hand I really want to get back in to it and check things out, on the other between BF1 and a few other upcoming releases I'm not...

    You gotta really still be drinking the Nintendo kool-aid to get excited about a 720p tablet with a 3 hour battery life and shitty controllers attached for $300. I didn't think they could actually make a worse controller than the Wii U's but apparently they've doubled down on that garbage design...

    SWTOR

    Don't have to worry about that anymore, they've removed all the weekly passes as of this past weekend. Seriously, fuck these guys. Can't wait until they inevitably change this shit when they actually realize that TOR wouldn't exist without F2P and they are basically telling the majority of...

    SWTOR

    Sounds like a pretty fucking stupid system to me. Of course we are talking about the same idiots that make you pay for hotbars if you don't subscribe, so it's not at all surprising. I hate companies that half ass their monetization, either make a fully functional F2P option or don't. This toes...

    There's nothing to learn about getting dropped to Suramar when zoning. The actual zone isn't the problem, it's the technical issues surrounding it.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I just stopped doing it after the third time in a row of getting fucked in various ways like that. They need to change it so that you spend the mana AFTER zoning into it instead of before where the loading screen constantly fucks people.

    SWTOR

    Does the game still have EQ2 levels of ability bloat? Is the camera movement speeds still tied to your fps? I'm a huge Star Wars nerd, but every time I try to go back I last a week or so and leave again. Too many little things about it that add up to an un-fun experience. That cinematic was...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Except I did no such thing. Running one character through quests, one character through Dungeons, or another through PVP isn' the same as having to run every character through every fucking quest in the game. One is variety, the other is not and it's exacerbated by the fact that there aren't...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    The no dungeon run example is an extreme case, for sure, but the amount of people who like to run multiple characters and keep them up to date isn't a tiny portion of the playerbase, and those people are the ones who are going to be dropping like flies in the near future. Personally I really...

    You shouldn't be able to kick the keystone owner, first off, and people who join and bail should get a huge fucking debuff that fucks them over for the next 30min to an hour. Also, whoever is responsible for balancing classes is fucking retarded. Affliction Lock is the worst caster spec in the...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    This is my main complaint with my Enhancement Shaman, a lot of the hitboxes are so fucking tiny I'm having to stand on top of shit to Stormstrike. Nothing like having to stand body to body with a mob that fills up your whole screen so that you can't see shit else. It's always been a melee issue...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Never had either one of these happen and I've been using the Curse mod client since it was a thing and recently switched to the new app without an issue. The only thing I can ever remember people complaining about was getting infected through one of the ads, which the new app doesn't even have...

    So don't take that talent, problem solved. Unless you are in top few % of mythic raiders not only will it not matter but no one will know the difference anyway. I've always hated that fucking talent, so I never use it. I'll take the slightly less dps of passive Incanter's Flow over a ground...

    As was mentioned LFG spam has always been stupid. People still do that shit now, ask a Warlock looking for Mythic groups, they've been getting turned down right and left. As for not remembering or rose colored glasses, whatever. I played with the same group from day one EQ until WotLK and we...

    Meh, to each their own. I never stacked classes in heroics, I don't ever remember people LFG for 3 Mages. I absolutely loved TBC heroics and their difficulty. I'm not going to call you bad, but the idea that you needed 3 mages or had to farm consumables for heroics isn't accurate. Maybe they...

    No, it's true. Some people don't like the way the changes went but I've mained Shaman since release and I can't remember a time when they were better off all around. One of the great ironies of everyone leveling their alts and getting them ready for the xpac is that, due to the nature of the...
