    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Gem of Ease and / or a PL buddy make leveling up a character stupid easy. Throw in Bloodshard / DB stockpile to make gear and it's not that absurd, although doing it JUST for the set dungeon, maybe. There's other achievements you can get for having multiple characters in a season though normally.

    I'm holding off because this is one of like 5 games that has to be worth playing enough for me to buy a PS4 :P Need to wait for all of them to hit.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    I'm having trouble getting any desire to push Crusader further. The "best" build is bugged to shit right now (shield bash roland's), the next best is LoN which fuck that, I have 1 out of like 13 ancients I need for that to matter, and after that is a mishmash of so-so builds none of which are...

    A lot of the runners aren't able to focus on doing near frame-perfect tricks constantly while having a running dialogue is the main problem, which is why having good couch / commentators is a huge boon. I didn't watch the DS3 run but it was the same guy who did Arkham City and that was at least...

    They host TASBot the same every year and every year the hosting is terrible. The whole "feigned ignorance" is so dumb.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Quinn's build usually recommends physical kick. It's way easier to keep stacks up with the bigger AoE and the vast majority of damage comes from the kick, the bonus to the fireball is irrelevant.

    You missed some quality commentary, and insight into what not to ever design things like. When they said it was the worst level on the SNES I was skeptical but after that section of floor exploded I had to agree. The crotch grapple swings were also great. It definitely falls into the MST3K realm...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    I think I usually see people drop the +stacks one and just be slightly more cautious about spamming. It kind of soft caps your attack speed unless you have way more crit chance than you should, but for speed farming all you care about is packs anyway and you should be able to gib them in very...

    I feel like the game has to be worse, because of how much work it takes to do anything. At least the movie you can eat popcorn or something while you suffer.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    If you can wreck T13 there's no reason not to farm on T13. The bonuses are ALWAYS better. You just want to do the highest difficulty where it is fast and easy.

    Oh I didn't think of his talk shows and such, I've barely seen any of that but would agree. I was mostly thinking of his analysis desk and also pushing for better treatment / openness for teams and casters and such.

    Binding of Isaac Rebirth (Nov 4th)

    AB+ adds almost nothing of value, especially compared to the negatives it adds. The extra "content" is mostly the obnoxious Greedier mode and Delirium boss. A few of the items are neat but don't think they're worth it if you're playing straight up. I've only been playing because I've been...

    I liked Monte when he wasn't casting, didn't much care for his actual casting though. Honestly he seems a little better in OW but still not the biggest fan. I really enjoy a lot of the newer casters honestly, I still love Kobe #1 but I enjoy Krepo, Zirene, and Pulse is probably my 2nd fave after...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Maybe they stealth nerfed monks again, I dunno. I've done monks.... 5 or 6 seasons now, and I said it before but I swear they get squishier every season despite no actual patch notes saying such. I think it might be that Torment / GR levels have generally gone up but they haven't had a defense...

    I just caught the last 5 or so minutes of Time Cop run and good lord is it special. The Batman Forever run was also amazing, what the hell.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Sunwuko's is still fine as a starter set if you're comparing T6 abilities, it way outclasses that, it's just not 0 work until you get the other legendaries :P Each core legy you get adds like another torment level to it and it's still arguably the most consistent top-end Monk set for most people...

    They're definitely not things to actually WATCH. At most I have them on in the background, but that's most of AGDQ anyway. The RPG runs are arguably better for that since the most interesting parts are them talking usually.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    A lot of people never get T13 on easy farm mode, it's a LOT harder than T10. T10 is pretty fast to get on farmville status for most classes though.

    There's a bunch of pretty highly regarded games that start on a website somewhere and gain enough traction to make it to Steam / DS / mobile. EBF is not in a lonely crowd. Edit: There's shitty ones that do this as well so *shrug*, rather have decent ones :P

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Those builds don't work without that belt, at all :P like, you can fudge them a bunch, but you NEED that belt. I always alternate between favoring Generator build/UE build depending on the season, but Generator is hell to gear up and UE doesn't scale into the end game much anymore.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    LTK scales pretty well but is a bit tedious, WoL I don't see how the hell you could do anything near GR90 without absolutely perfect everything, that build scales way worse. WoL is just about the best farming build though.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    LTK is definitely more damage if you get it going but I didn't have gear for it for basically all last season. I had literally all other builds done before I had the stuff for that. Sometimes RNG gonna RNG

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    I'm playing crusader, yea. I tried an Akkhan Captain America build but it wasn't great. I need like 20% more CDR or some other CDR gimmick before it can work. Also the top Shield Toss build on Diablofans is legit trolling, it uses focus/restraint despite the fact you can't trigger half of it...

    Binding of Isaac Rebirth (Nov 4th)

    Yea the more you play it the worse it gets. Some of the new items are interesting but the DLC would have been better if it was literally just the new items. The expanded mod support means stuff in the future will be amazing but for now, only reason to buy it is because discounts on these things...

    Monk builds definitely have variety. I swear to god though, they secretly make monks squishier and squishier every season. I do one almost every time and every time it's harder. Probably part of the reason I'm gonna start Crusader or Barb this time, need some beefiness for a little bit :P

    It makes me think of a much more open world Tomb Raider reboot but I enjoyed the gameplay in those so I'd be alright with that. And the story is almost impossible to make worse than those :P

    Also, the bundle from last month was crazy, goddamn. 4 games off my wishlist worth like ~$30 at their lowest combined totals. And I sold the Vermintide key for $6 sooooo $30 for $6! Capitalism ho! The key for Xcom unlocks when you PAY for the bundle (the 10% off Humble Store is similar I...

    There was a "balance" patch released last night but I didn't notice any difference so far, aside from the spike chests you can actually see if you're paying attention. After further testing, the Void item seems super buggy or inconsistent or something. Some people have had it eat Diplopia and...

    Each game has its' own team right now, effectively. They're all "Blizzard" games but they don't share that much resourcing. So yea D3 team is probably tiny, WoW team is still pretty significant since they're still putting out expansions, Hearthstones' is whatever but terrible at their job...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Well any RPG is just make a level 1 character and play until you finish. The details are what make it interesting. There were a couple of side quests here and the overall experience was neat. If you were expecting some kind of new game than your expectations were wrong. I dunno why you'd run it...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    I guess it depends on what you were expecting / wanting. Like I said, I enjoyed the level 1 start-finish of it, but I need to farm the named and pages still so will probably do that during the season (unless that doesn't count for some reason). All the nostalgia things were great to me, from...

But all the old sound effects, item icons / names, Halls of the Blind, etc. were all pretty fun. I...

    The biggest issue with the game for me was it took like 3-4 levels for the combat to become interesting. The tutorial is effectively like 90 minutes long and kinda boring compared to how the rest of the game plays out. They really could have trimmed those first few levels and packed in more...
