    NBA 2012-13 Season Thread - Crown The Heat!

    Dirk did it with Jason Terry as his 2nd best player, and zero All-Star team mates. Hakeem. Rick Barry. While none of those were "alone", they were definitely 1 Star constructions who put a bunch of roleplayers on their back and dominated. Dirk/The Mavs Championship is starting to look...

    Yeah that would be way too much voice recording if it was for every quest dialogue. Not to mention they are using legit VAs for the main story characters.

    You can't do "wink wink" side deals either, Stern would shoot that KG trade down quick. It's too obvious the 2 picks are for Doc.

    Pippen is definitely top5 in those years but I'd put Shaq and Hakeem ahead of him.

    No one hated LeBron before "The Decision" and he pulled that shit in their Pre-Championship Pep Rally "Not 1, not 2, not 3, not 4" etc.. As a Mavs fan, I still don't hate LeBron. I hate #1 Dwayne Wade (because he's a flopping douchebag and made fun of Dirk being sick), #2 The Heat as a...

    After you exhaust all the quests in the 3 main cities from your first 3 classes, then yeah you'd be grinding FATES, hunting logs, and Leves - plus dungeons after 15.

    Isn't Level Sync live? or will be? That shit is awesome for leveling up your other classes or PLing friends. Also I'm pretty sure outside of Hunting Log parties, there won't be traditional groups grinding mobs like in EQ or FFXI - group exp is just inferior to dungeons and questing unless you...

    The game engine is optimized better than any MMO I've played. They must of spent a lot of time on it because it wasn't this smooth in 1.0. Buddy of mine with 5 year old hardware is running it at 60fps, easy.

    There are more content systems that aren't fully in yet - stuff like the events in FFXI, but SE are content jews. Assuming they kept the raids and revamped/upgraded them from 1.0, there is stuff like Crystal Tower and The Great Labyrinth of Bahamut, Primals FATE fights (Ifrit, Shiva, Titan, etc)...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    The problem for MS is they can't really backpedal off of this - the last couple years they have totally shifted their business in anticipation of them "owning your living room". However, if they don't backpedal, they may lose even MORE money by staying the course.

    I only decided to do it after playing the demo and not being impressed with the combat. I was mostly interested in the story. Played one over the shoulder shooter you've played em all.

    The Last of Us

    Watched the entire walkthrough on YouTube. The combat part of the game is nothing new so I'm glad I didn't buy it to play myself - story, characters, dialogue were all amazing though. Obvious plan for a sequel though.

    So basically you don't need top-end PC hardware to play games for the next generation either. Unless a PC exclusive ultra graphic intensive MMO comes out, which is doubtful. Which is great news to me - having to upgrade video cards every 6 months-1 year back in the early 2000s sucked. Back...

    NBA 2012-13 Season Thread - Crown The Heat!

    Heat have always been bad at defending the 3 since the big three came together. That's how they lost the 2011 Finals, too. Smart teams who over-pass, don't commit dumb turn overs, and shoot the 3 well have been the Heat's bane - that and a legit scoring center but those never seem to be on the...

    Doubtful - LoL, Dota2, Path of Exile, and MMOs are what generate traffic on Twitch. Yeah people stream some console games on there but it's much more difficult for someone to setup a stream for consoles than PC games. Obviously ustream will have a big boost with all the PS4 streamers, but I...

    They aren't that big of a jump. I think technology in general has kind of hit a wall - at some point it will be hard to make things look any better without going into ultra realistic and then you sort of hit the uncanny valley. Obviously you can do more but at some point it isn't cost effective...

    Meh, if all 3rd party support gets you is rehashes of CoD, Madden, and Battlefield from the big time developers - whats the point. Those companies aren't making new or interesting games anyways - they have to make big budget AAA titles that are aimed at the masses. Only reason I bought a...

    Assuming they revamped the rest of the game with the same quality as the small portion they have shown so far, it's hard not to have high hopes. It's hard to see them making the same mistakes twice. The biggest flaw with the original game was it's poor PC UI, and that has been remedied.

    Yeah the only one's I'd definitely suspend are the repeat offenders who show up every one of these lists. Everyone else is just going to appeal and won't have to miss games until next season at best.

    They didn't really go all out for deron Williams, no dirk or Cuban. Cuban didn't really want him, and now the Nets are stuck with a trash team for years. CP3 is pretty angry with the Clips so who knows what will happen.

    I guess the Pacers could always choke away a 17 pt lead, after Spoelstra has to resort to Mike Miller for offense.

    Heat are getting crushed. Basically, if Haslem/random bench guy doesn't go off and hit 100% of their shots (like they did in game 3 and 5) the Heat lose - because Wade and Bosh aren't doing jack shit. LeBron and some hurt guys aren't going to beat the Spurs.

    No movement really required outside of positioning for AEs and not aggroing other mobs. It's not like TERA or Neverwinter where you can dodge attacks. All the group combat I did (dungeons) is more in the vein of WoW/FFXI than the new action MMORPGs. But there is going to be a lot of...

    Hex: Shards of Fate TCG - Set 7: Frostheart 6/29/17

    A digital only TCG gives them so much design space going forward, things that Wizards can never do with Magic because of physical limitations. Even if it starts out as basically a Magic clone, they should be able to move forward with some radical stuff.

    Yeah you only get early access if you continued to pay for the game after it went F2P (or re-buy the game), that's their reward.
