    PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds

    There's like 4 threads about it on the PUBG subreddit. Sounds like the rando took a spot in the bike, they asked him to go find another vehicle so Doc could fit, rando got out, like 10 seconds later Doc killed the rando

    Empyrion - Galactic Survival

    As I understand it, Empyrion seems overall the best of those three but I haven't personally played the other 2. It's still in EA but playing it now vs. playing it when I bought it almost 2 years ago it's a LOT more interesting now, has a little bit of legs to it, but it's also very Minecrafty...

    Overwatch

    If they really wanted to win they'd learn how to win more, since being toxic statistically causes you to win less :P people being toxic is just people getting caught up in internet culture and such. Some games have very little of it but obviously a lot of games have a lot.

    Overwatch

    Isn't that basically the same mentality towards what's fun and what isn't that hackers have, just slightly less so? A lot of them just enjoy the feeling of stomping all over people. I can see it being fun once in a while if you're really in the zone and just zen-sniping people in PUBG or...

    Mukla + Young Dragonhawk, 4 Mana 6/6 Windfury give opponent 2 bananas.

    It's a particular type of game. Basically same concept as the Thief series. I liked the world and some of the gameplay but I found a lot of it tedious as well.

    Overwatch

    TF2 was fine when it came out and for a good while after but it also wasn't free (although it's hard to argue with the value of the Orange Box obviously). OW is fine for $40, even if I find it boring now, I played it a bunch while it was fresh.

    It streams the data between the Link and your PC, so it relies on a very fast intranet connection. You can do the same thing with basically any Windows device as well via Steam Streaming, the Link is just a dedicated box for it. It doesn't use external bandwidth at all.

    I've heard good things about Dishonored 2 IF you can get it to run well, so people recommend trying to demo to see how it runs. My list of top GOTY contenders from the past year or two: Hollow Knight - difficult Metroid-ish game, not super linear or hand holding, amazing atmosphere and...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    I've got enough shit to play where I'll probably wait till the new season to make a necro anyway.

    I'm willing to buy any game I'll play right then, which counts for Early Access stuff too. I don't think I have any EA games I haven't put a full 20+ hours into and I have a ton of them. Some just keep on giving too, like Empyrion, where I replay them every once in a while to try out new...

    Plus streamers do like Q&A stuff with their fans in the IRL section, which is fair. Again, keeps them out of the actual "games" section and lets them (and their fans) do their thing. It's not just boob streamers that do it either although obviously that's the most common. If Patrick Stewart did...

    I've got like 10-11 game tabs open I'm considering grabbing this sale, but I'm going to wait a couple days so I can refund anything that is in the Humble Monthly Bundle because it's mostly stuff that could be :P Hollow Knight is still sitting strong as my GOTY so far, but fuck there's a lot of...

    E3 2017

    Wow. They have a vastly different concept of what "day 0 development" means than most people I think :P I wasn't expecting to see any in game footage until late next year

    Twitch.tv

    I can't think of the last time I saw a streamer even try to play an ad. The only time it wouldn't be a direct revenue loss would be if they were AFK anyway and usually they just let the chair sit empty or whatever. Twitch will autoplay one when you swap to a stream if you aren't in Twitch Prime...

    Twitch.tv

    I mean... why? It doesn't take anything away from the game streams, there's only really 2 categories for it (IRL and Creative right?), and it's an extra source of income for Twitch and it apparently makes some people happy. I don't watch much of it myself but it certainly isn't hurting me.

    Hearthstone

    Well if they add more quests or another type of legendary, it's still going to be brutal to collect the new deck-reliant stuff for a lot of people.

    Steam sale is up, technically. But of course it's not ACTUALLY up for another hour or two when the servers stabilize and the discounts actually get turned on properly.

    PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds

    I read that a dev said that basically a loot spawn is a loot spawn, they're all equal. The reason some places seem better is because they're crammed full of spawns, not that they have a better "table" or anything. I know I wandered into a random lonely house at the start of a game once and got a...

    m249 is the only thing there that's crate only. Loot is super super RNG despite what people seem to think so that's an entirely possible, albeit lucky, loadout.

    Dead Cells

    I Kickstarted it as well. Was weird to see it during an E3 conference actually as I thought it was still a ways out :P There's another backer game I signed on for, Indivisible, that may fall into the Metroidvania category based on the proof-of-concept demo but I think it'll end up more like a...

    Marvel Universe Stuff

    It's been a bit since I watched IM3 but didn't he just get the shrapnel removed? The Arc Reactor "socket" is useful for like, everything he does, so it would make sense to keep it even though he doesn't require it to live anymore.

    Dead Cells

    They are very different games. Axiom Verge is the closest thing out there to Metroid that isn't Metroid, in style, world design, and to an extent gameplay. Hollow Knight gets compared to Dark Souls because some parts are brutal and the overall aesthetic is grim, I thought the gameplay was very...

    Twitch.tv

    That sounds like something wrong on your end maybe? With browser or plugin? Even on my phone on my T-Mobile network Twitch stuff loads as fast or faster than YouTube. At home there's no difference that I can see. Edit: Also, weirdly, the Twitch app has way better features than the YouTube one...

    Dead Cells

    Metroidvanias on Steam I played in the past year and liked: Axiom Verge, Shadow Complex, Ghost 1.0, Hollow Knight. Hollow Knight by far my favorite, probably my GOTY but the year isn't over yet. Axiom Verge is widely regarded as an excellent Metroidvania, with emphasis on the Metroid. Shadow...

    PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds

    Well I assume most people will only bother to check whomever shot them. I wouldn't be shocked to see a kill cam in single player with this as well. Kill cam would give too much info for duos/squads maybe but you get bullshotted you can at least take a peak. I'm guessing the replays will be...

    Jesus Christ, I saw a gif of the hallway bit, did not realize it was a whole video. Superb. Semi-yearly reminder that you can use Enhanced Steam plugin for Chrome/FF or isthereanydeal.com for info about historic lows, as well as if any other sites are running better sales.

    As someone who has seen none of them, it looks identical. Even down to some of the scenes and terrain in the trailers :P

    It doesn't come out for 8 months, so I'm going to go with no.

    Wolfenstein: The New Colossus

    The New Order was awesome. Old Blood was sort of a quick tie-in / homage / parody of the older game all in one and was more meh to me. So definitely go for TNO and look for all the little hidden stuff and creep on people's convos in the rare instances you aren't murdering them, some detailed...

    Wolfenstein: The New Colossus

    It takes more than destroying their mad scientist leader, their moon base, hundreds of elite soldiers, billions of dollars of infrastructure, weaponry, and research, and uncovering + using hidden Jew (or something) tech to stop a global regime. Apparently. Honestly I would think that would be a...

    E3 2017

    I'll take showing games releasing before the next E3 to 30 seconds of teaser bullshots for something coming out in maybe 2020, you guys are nuts. The biggest complaint I had from last years' E3 was nothing was going to come out for like 2-3 years except FO4 which they got praise for actually...

    Beyond Good and Evil 2

    It's a prequel, so that just reinforces the idea that the only way to get a BG&E game made was to make concessions, so he made it a prequel. If it makes enough dumptrucks of cash maybe they can push out the actual sequels that were supposed to happen forever ago.

    E3 2017

    I've never played any Far Cry (except Blood Dragon I guess) and only played AC 4 and Syndicate so I'm pretty not-burned-out and excited to see if these new shiny ones are awesome. Loved what I saw in the FC footage too. Dog stealing peoples guns for me? Co-op people plowing through the town...

    Black Panther (2018)

    There's a pretty significant population mix where I am and it's fucking middle-age or older white people that are driving me to skip regular theaters and go to Alamo. So many random "oh I wonder what that is" and "That's not good" every 5 minutes.

    Wonder Woman (2017)

    I think the main problem is you keep saying "Supes is out of the picture" except that BvS didn't even stick to that thread for 5 fucking minutes. There's been no footage of him in the JL trailers but it seems extraordinarily unlikely that the ending of that scene in BvS was anything but "brb afk"

    E3 2017

    Wolfenstein: TNO was my GOTY when it came out, so definitely looking forward to NC. I hope they keep the attention to subtle details in the world building though, that really solidified TNO for me. Based on the trailer I'm hopeful.

    Wind River (2017)

    Hey, we're human too! We already face enough discrimination trying to find a gun we want that won't shoot a casing into our face / shirt. Edit: Oh, I will gladly see a crime thriller with 2 Avengers in it. I haven't seen either of the previous two movies yet though.
