    Binding of Isaac Rebirth (Nov 4th)

    It adds official mod support so it's pretty irrelevant honestly. My first two runs I used the new character and stomped my way through despite having not played in months. So IDK :P only see a small number of new things at all and they seemed to fit right in. Void is interesting and probably OP...

    Hearthstone

    Jade druid is just ramp druid that doesn't have the strong choice cards of yore but has a very very slow ticking clock of "I win eventually 100% of the time" which is kinda dumb, especially as that ticking clock ends up being slower than other control decks anyway.

    Captain America: Civil War (2016)

    I think the biggest problem with movie adaptions of video games historically is they have adapted video games that have essentially no story so wtf why. Now there are games with fantastic stories / experiences but in a lot of ways, a lot of that quality comes from the way it is experienced in...

    DOOM

    Stories being told in-game is fine when that's a major part of the game. If your game is supposed to appeal to action-murder-bots, forcing them to sit through dialogue is probably not a wise choice, and making it optional (as in Doom) is a fine approach. I appreciated the lore for what it was...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    It'll probably come with the patch, unless the patch dropped already. Then maybe release is for the new season? No idea honestly. I'll just play it whenever all the fanfare happens :P

    DOOM

    I played this and Titanfall 2 right after each other, and I kinda wish DOOM had less of the upgrade grinding / exploring and TF2 had more of it. That being said I ultimately liked TF2 single player a little bit more, there wasn't really any point I wasn't feeling it, whereas the first 3-4 levels...

    Horizon: Zero Dawn

    This is one of the 4 or 5 games on PS4 I'm waiting to actually hit and see end quality before buying in to a console for the first time since... PS2? Wii? Anyway, hope it is as good as it looks

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    How many games do you play every week more than 4 years after its initial release? D3 is doing alright by a lot of people. There's literally thousands of other good games out there, if D3 isn't for you, by all means go play one of those. I still enjoy seasons in D3 and probably will gladly play...

    Overwatch

    I played a no limits game for whatever reason the other day and we had torb + 4 Symmetras + me as Hanzo on Hollywood defense. I did not realize shield gens stack. Because pub game we managed to stall out on the first point long enough for the generators to start going up and after that I don't...

    Enter the Gungeon

    It feels more reliable than Isaac. You can't end up with godmode combos like in Isaac but it's also way less common to just have fuckall and be gimped like in Isaac. But on the other hand you frequently just reset runs on Isaac on the first floor until you get something good so idk.

    Enter the Gungeon

    This game feels significantly more fare than Isaac, I dunno. I haven't put in the time to "beat" it yet but honestly it doesn't seem nearly as hard as a lot of it's siblings (Isaac, Nuclear Throne, etc.)

    Empyrion - Galactic Survival

    They're similar but different. Similar enough where I probably wouldn't be involved in both at the same time, but different enough that I may feel one over the other.

    Jesus Christ. People have the exact same reaction every time a sale starts. It takes ~1-2 HOURS before the site stabilizes. Which is shitty, but it happens EVERY. SINGLE. SALE. Reserve your bitching for 2 hours from now when it's accurate, at least :P

    Steam Deals and Digital Sales

    I still buy anywhere from 3-10 games per big sale (Fall, Winter, Spring I guess) on Steam at new historical lows off my wishlist. If you're looking for specific games, generally keeping an eye on other sites / bundles (or just isthereanydeal.com) is the way to go but if you just have 200+ games...

    You can use keyboard/mouse with the link I believe but yea a controller is the way to go. I don't have a link myself but I use in-home streaming through Steam from my gaming PC to my media PC, roughly equals the same thing. I have a pretty good wireless network and there's always going to be a...

    Empyrion - Galactic Survival

    Sounds like a bug. Drones and such will always aim for the core of a ship/base so there should always be framework left. Although if drones wiped out the core, the "ship" won't be a ship anymore and won't have a marker on your map, and since you rarely get into orbit the same place you entered...

    Empyrion - Galactic Survival

    I was trying not to be too spoilery :P most everything you can find in the guide or wiki if you need to. I tend to park my CV in orbit and hop in a docked SV down to the surface. Way more fuel efficient and tends to be easier to save / maneuver. Protect your ships no matter what though. Make...

    Overwatch

    I know what you mean on her, I'm pretty much the same way... although she doesn't feel that insane to play as, playing against her can be super frustrating sometimes. Much like Rein shield you can force her to burn through her matrix and fall back but seems pretty rare to get much advantage from...

    Thor: Ragnarok (2017)

    Thor's and Banner's characters and dialogue have been basically perfect in every movie they've been in of the MCU, plus Loki is great whenever he shows up. Even as flawed as Thor 1 & 2 were, Thor himself was entertaining. It could just be those 2 guys wandering through green screen backdrops...

    Blade Runner 2049 (2017)

    Supposedly he actually has always liked his role in Blade Runner and was excited for this but we'll have to see. With someone like Ford personal preference at this point is a huge factor. There's so many other things that could be wrong that I'm not sure I'm even worried about it that much.

    Arrival (2016)

    Regardless of all of that rambling, I really really enjoyed to movie. My biggest complaint is that Renner's character is kinda presented in a sidelined way when if you read between the lines he's super instrumental and nearly as major as Adams' character (I think someone said it's more obvious...

    Empyrion - Galactic Survival

    Just something to bear in mind, you NEED warp to get to other planets, but not out into orbit / asteroids / your moon. Technically you don't need warp I think but it would take a colossal amount of travel time and I'm not entirely sure it actually lets you do that. As far as the resources go...

    Have you actually, like, met very many people IRL? I know people EXACTLY like this. Not to mention every single argument you make could be said for every comic book "romance" in history since forever and people deal with those. Fact is some people have serious relationships despite having very...

    Empyrion - Galactic Survival

    This game can range from super easy to unforgivingly brutal depending on a few factors, yea. My brother and I recently started it up for our 2nd or 3rd time after months of updates, and we were breezing along until we explored a shipwreck on the moon and drones fucking wrecked our ship...

    Hearthstone

    I facepalm or sigh at really crazy stuff some time but I don't think I've ever raged at it. That's one of the reasons I like Kibler, salt is way too common in big Twitch streams and it's just not what I like :P

    1400 could be anything. Just not trying very much, play what you want no matter team comp on either side, refuse to coordinate with team (I know you don't get 6-man coordination at 1400 but sometimes coordinating with 1 other person is all you need, comp wise or other), spending too much time...

    Overwatch

    There's a ton of ways to not become good. A lot of people in this thread have a mindset that would keep them from improving much at 16 hours a day :P Not to mention that "over practicing" is actually a thing, if you're really trying to master something, you have to take breaks and diversify.

    Overwatch

    That was mythbusted a long time ago, for all characters. If it's frame-perfect, it gives you a free melee attack, but otherwise it actually delays the time until you can shoot again. With some (like Roadhog) the animation cancelling is way more advantages because you're healing or whatever. So...

    Overwatch

    I mean, I've been in games where the enemy team got 0 points and we had no healers. It's pretty hard to get a read on balance when there's so much variance :P have to see it for a couple weeks probably to get a feel but so far, to me, she seems in a pretty good place. Out of all the characters...

    Transformers: The Last Knight (2017)

    There was dark shit in the official comics / G1 movie / spinoffs but it was sporadic to be sure. I mean fuck the Quintessons were huge assholes, and in more recent canon they're like galactic-level assholes that enslave entire planets for their own purposes by being space-oil-salesmen. Unicron...

    Transformers: The Last Knight (2017)

    Honestly the Dinobots seemed fine to me. It's been a little while since I watched the G1 show but the Dinobots just Dinobotted around being Dinobots so whatever. All of these movies (except for 2) have been meh to decent but each have major flaws that really detract. I will watch (and probably...

    I just ignore anything beyond useful tactical info, like "so-and-so is on the left" or "ult at 95%". I've already chosen my character based on our comp, enemy comp, and my general comfort with the hero. I have to assume other people have done the same, to the best of their ability (which may be...

    No Man's Sky

    If you're in survival mode in Empyrion there's like a task/quest/something tracker that guides you through making stuff, although it can make you do stuff you don't really need to do to progress (super basic yet). You can make a base anywhere you can plonk down a base CPU block thingy, and they...

    No Man's Sky

    The base building just brings it more in line for comparison to other games like Empyrion that just do more, with a small team, in early access.... etc. :P Seriously, if any of you have a sci-fi Minecraft itch, Empyrion is probably the thing for you. They just added like 30 new "block" shapes...
