    Middle-earth: Shadow of War (Shadow of Mordor Sequel)

    I think GMG had the first one pre-order super discounted to where I got it for like $32 or something. Some of the Arkham games had OK pre-order discounts too. Keep an eye out. At worst can probably get 20% off.

    My guess is they're trying to make Anna less of a 1-healer choice. Zen regens most of his health, Mercy regens all of hers, Lucio heals himself same as everyone. Anna always has been gated by her grenade but she's STILL been the dominant healer so meh. Biggest thing to me is the damage nerf...

    Probably play Mercy for best shot at winning, yea. Ressing 4-5 dead DPS every 90 seconds can win some games. Healing is way more required than tanking in this game in rando games.

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    Why did phylactery never make a comeback after horcrux brought the concept into mainstream? Need to give OG Liches some cred

    I haven't played AoD myself yet but I picked it up a while back, I've only really seen positive feedback on it. No clue on Dungeon of Rats

    Overwatch

    Tanks are going to be pretty meta in pro and high level play until there's more than 1 non-tank that can deal with them. Orisa, if anything, makes the take comp even better. Big damage boost hiding behind a bunch of fatties, another layer of shields, a low-cd displacement to disrupt enemy forts...

    Hollow Knight - Metroidvania meets Dark Souls

    Yea not having a "back" ability you can get creative like that, you can do it at any bench too, to be clear. In regards to your spoiler, according to the devs that should only happen to the Press Release version of the game, the Steam one already had that fixed. GoG too maybe? People were...

    I mean, if you care about where the center of the blizzard is that much, but usually hitting Rein shield is close enough to F the team. If you're anywhere but the edge as over half the cast you just get frozen regardless.

    Oh you might be right, I think I got object LoS and barrier rules backwards. I just know I always get frozen no matter what :P

    Overwatch

    It doesn't and I don't think anything besides Fortify and Zarya bubble does. And they aren't LOS so much as CC immunity IF you get it off before being frozen.

    Hollow Knight - Metroidvania meets Dark Souls

    Not EVERY fast travel point has a rest point, but most do. It's only stood out like, once so far I think, where a walk back was just way too far. Also, Deepnest is creepy as fuck, Jesus. This world keeps getting more weird and horrifying and less rainy-day melancholy. There's tons of hidden...

    Hollow Knight - Metroidvania meets Dark Souls

    The only negatives I really have so far are the aforementioned rest/save points being kinda far apart sometimes, and there's some kind of optimization issue that is causing most people to have random frame skips (myself included) that can F you randomly pretty hard. They're working on the...

    Overwatch

    It really depends on how people play around your Rein. It's essentially impossible to peak with her barrier because of the long CD but for actually defending or pushing it's not bad. Her mini-grav is probably the game changer (duh), her CC immunity is nice and can counter things Rein can't even...

    Hollow Knight - Metroidvania meets Dark Souls

    I haven't played Salt and Sanctuary myself, I've seen a few people compare it favorably (that is, preferring it to S&S) but those are gonna be biased since they're in HK discussions I imagine. I am enjoying more than Axiom Verge, Ghost 1.0, or Shadow Complex. Probably more than Ori too and I...

    Everspace (Space shooter)

    I liked the game plenty as it was when it went into EA (I had kickstarted it so was pleasantly surprised to get to play it already), but yea I'm holding off playing much until it's more finished, just because it feels kind of grindy and I'd rather wait until that fully pays out.

    That Genji also missed 2 swings at the end :P

    Hollow Knight - Metroidvania meets Dark Souls

    No thread on this? For shame! I shall post it then. This came out last week and I've played it every night since. I'm at about ~10 hours and feel like I'm maybe 1/3 of the way through it. The gameplay is very tight, and while there's the usual random ledges/walls/whatever you can't get through...

    No Man's Sky

    What the fuck in the actual released game, that we can play right now, was innovative? There was innovative stuff in the trailers and gameplay videos they showed but that isn't the game we got. I can't think of anything in NMS we haven't seen elsewhere first? Maybe the RNG flora/fauna but that's...

    If Bastion is going Recon to try and deal with Pharah (which still isn't great for Bastion, Recon isn't THAT accurate at range) then he is not in Sentry mode to deal with Pharah's front line so it's still a win, even if he isn't dead. It seems like there's plenty of ways to deal with him for...

    Overwatch

    She shares the res invulnerability time when she ults, so she doesn't insta-die to res every time now. It really changes the dynamics of the situation. Edit: If anything on Bastion, I would change his clip sizes back to where they were. I understand the reasoning behind the bigger clips but it...

    Overwatch

    I dunno, I haven't seen an issue with him playing as or against. 35% damage reduction means he takes one more rocket to drop which is not an issue when you can outrange him so easily now. Genji was never an answer to half-decent Bastions so that is irrelevant :P Junkrat can still destroy him in...

    Hearthstone

    The 8/8 Set your health to 40 isn't a win condition. It's not even really a come back condition against control if you're in a bad spot, if you're even but hurt it's a nice swing for you but nothing earth shaking. You can't throw in a bunch of 1-mana shitty death rattles for the promise of...

    Hearthstone

    How would you ever play 7 death rattles against a non-control deck as a priest? It's not going to happen. Priest doesn't even usually RUN 7 death rattles, even in N'Zoth, so either you inflate your deck more with whatever rattles or you wait until after you play N'Zoth on turn 10 to hit that 7...

    Hearthstone

    Really? They revealed 5 cards if you count the leak, and the only ones that might see constructed play after the first week of chaos might be the Murloc Adapt dino (but doubt it), and MAYBE the priest quest but losing a card in your opening hand as priest that is not great. Like, maybe the...

    Middle-earth: Shadow of War (Shadow of Mordor Sequel)

    I liked being super powered at the end of the first, but it made the nemesis system pointless, too. Some kind of balance there would be nice. Supposedly the teaser was pushed early even because of the leak from Target of the game box. Anyway, all they really have to do here to keep me...

    I would say it's closer to Minecraft than a sci-fi exploration game or something like that, but I enjoy it quite a bit for what it is. And they push out tweaks/content constantly, I've replayed from scratch a few times since I bought it and the journey was different with new stuff to find each...

    Hearthstone

    The retroactively adding Elemental type to cards really shows the advantages and also the lack of foresight required for the digital CCG format. Like, Magic had creature types of every single creature card from the get-go in the early 90s. Why didn't HS implement that for at least basic things...

    Doctor Strange (2016)

    Yea it felt like they stuck to the formula so hard because of the introduction of this other half of the MCU basically. GotG went off the formula a bit but that's because it was an ensemble movie rather than just one guy, and it was still sort of within the realm of the existing MCU. So, it's a...

    John Wick: Chapter Two (2017)

    This is pretty much the lore of your character in the new DOOM. Arguably could just explain almost every protagonist ever... they just feed off souls. Seems fine.

    Arrival (2016)

    I would assume the Hazmat suits were more to guard against random atmospheric / elemental concerns than anything, I thought it's already been shown scientifically that it's essentially impossible for an actual random alien pathogen to be dangerous to humans and vice versa.

    Horizon: Zero Dawn

    There's been games that are on the opposite side of the whole SJW-agenda nonsense for years and none of you gave a shit near as I can tell. You should probably accept the fact that there's literally people that will try and gain attention/clicks from absolutely everything and just relax the fuck...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    With Uliana's, you should always be doing something. Generally you're kiting around and cycloning to group stuff up. If NOTHING dies and you already have a huge group, well yea that's just high GR I guess :P If you're at too low of a GR for the kiting-cycloning to be viable than you should just...

    That's essentially how every real world CCG drafting setups have worked since forever so yea it makes sense. That would require way more effort on their part than tweaking back-end occurrence bonuses though so good luck :P

    Now, I do not pretend to be an expert game designer, nor do I claim to be the most intelligent person on the planet. But their reasoning on some of that stuff is clearly idiotic. Be it Brode or the designers themselves, they are not very good at actually designing cards or building the game as a...

    The Great Wall (2016)

    I assume because he said "yes" although that itself is a mystery because I feel like he can still get whatever role he wants in the U.S. Maybe he has ancestors who died on the wall fighting the demon hordes, back in the day.

    I definitely fell asleep playing EQ. And by playing I mean "farming some camp with a 45 minute respawn" at 4am.

    Well this looks like 1 success on the list of games towards making me buy a PS4. Waiting on GoW and Detroit still, and something I have temporarily spaced out on. Whatever, I will buy a cheap-ass used PS4 and happy to wait for the games to be used too :P

    Arrival (2016)

    Our measures of years is conveniently tied to a consistent cosmic event (orbit of Earth around the sun) so it would be pretty easy for them to note how we measure that and say "about 3,000 of those thingies." Also even if time is flat/cyclical to them, they still would find it useful to have...

    So I have no idea where to ask this, but since this thread made me think of it, I'll ask here first I guess. I realized one of the main reasons I played EQ2 so long is because it had a mostly-fun martial artsy class (monk), and I'm wondering what more modern MMOs out now have a class like that...
