    Overwatch

    In pro games? Sure, probably not. In QP/Comp? Even Seagull plays Sym sometimes :P

    Hearthstone

    Star Realms is fun but I think ultimately I would rather have the physical version of it, although it's obviously easier to play digitally. Shadowverse is OK so far, I'm skeptical that it goes too deep and the art style will turn away a lot of people I think. I haven't tried the Elder Scrolls or...

    No Man's Sky

    That green line on the right isn't data, in case anyone is wondering. Just some weird formatting.

    Hearthstone

    Thanks for the suggestion, went ahead and signed up. I uninstalled HS from my PC and even my phone recently. I still sort of enjoy watching some vids but I do not miss playing the game. I thought it was scratching my CCG itch but every other digital CCG-ish thing I played for 5 minutes felt...

    Grim Dawn

    Legitimately getting the right gear in GD is as much a crapshoot as it was in D3 when it first came out. It feels a lot worse than TQ to me but maybe I was just luckier then. I mostly complain about this game, because honestly I think they didn't modernize it nearly enough. It's TQ with a new...

    Hearthstone

    Yea the lack of actual RNG in the game kinda killed it for me. There's too many other options popping up and if I really, really want to spend money on a digital card game I'll probably fall into the Magic Online sinkhole. There's fun in the game to be had but it's so far removed from what I do...

    Grim Dawn

    Blank high-level character sounds like what I'd want. I would love for this game to get an adventure mode though, just open up the world from level 1 to run around in off the rails.

    Grim Dawn

    How are you guys trying different builds/alts? I tried to start a second character to try out Aether and just couldn't do it. I played through the dumb, slow campaign once already, don't need to do it again, and it feels like it is going to take me 10+ hours to actually have a real build to...

    Steam Deals and Digital Sales

    I don't know what the normal price is, but it's likely that GMS 2 is coming out this year or early next, so they're probably trying to widen their audience and make a few extra bucks from exposure. That being said, supposedly GMS as-is is fantastic for developing 2D games in (Hyper Light Drifter...

    Overwatch

    Just have to ignore people complaining about champs. The only criticism I ever speak is if I think we'd be better off with another support, but I don't call out anyone. Team comp is fairly good to have on lockdown but at anything approaching pub play, the people on their strongest champs are...

    No Man's Sky

    I pre-order/kickstart plenty of games and can't think of one I've been burned on, most turn out to be exactly what I expected or better. It's just about knowing what you want and paying attention to everything. The closest is probably the newest Sherlock Holmes game which I pre-ordered, worse...

    Hearthstone

    Pretty much play more ranked or arena, whichever you prefer. Used to recommend arena but it's a LOT more brutal now than it used to be. Honestly there's plenty of "good enough" decks for ranked now that are cheap/free and you already have 2 adventures of cards so you may be fine for ranked.

    Every game in placements I've played that had a Mei, the Mei did nothing all game, no matter which team she was on. It's been nothing but Payload and Capture maps though.

    Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV (2016)

    I actually thought the fights were surprisingly easy to follow, but I live for fast flashy fight scenes so maybe just me. I wanted to see the Chancellor flip out and do something cool, guessing that is just saved for the game somewhere.

    Overwatch

    Defenders don't affect the payload moving back at all FYI, so you were basically just handicapping your team the whole time you were sitting on it :P Cart moves backwards at 1 speed regardless of if any defenders are around, after a set amount of no attackers touching it.

    Jack Reacher: Never Go Back (2016)

    Lee Child likes the movie according to his NPR interview but who knows :P Cruise fits the character pretty well in the first one.

    Overwatch

    They all ran into the corner by the spawn right before D.Va ult started, and then were pinned in by his team. Really unfortunate timing on their part but Northern Gaming looked like they might lose that point anyway. Sick timing though :p

    McCree is still mostly better than S76. Also they should just add a burst-fire to Soldier as an alt fire or something so whether it can be macro'd or not is irrelevant.

    Certainly no American Inventor dick. But then, what is? Edit: haha wat, nice auto-replace :p

    League Of Legends

    I totally buy the argument on patches too, some of the changes can be really harsh and there's been backlash on the World's Patch changes every year. The teams should be able to finish worlds on the patch that they earned their ticket on, not some new thing where they have less than a week to...

    I was born in '83 so it was pretty funny how almost every domestic scene I was going "hey we had those" :P I don't generally like horror, but this wasn't really horror, it was just... good. The kids were fantastic. Apparently the writers have some huge document that details how the...

    Hearthstone

    Yea, going second is becoming more and more of a disadvantage. In constructed and arena, although it's very severe in arena. I think the biggest jump was in TGT weirdly. Arena has always been very tempo-driven, and constructed is drifting that way as strong defense/healing cards got rotated out...

    No Man's Sky

    Empyrion is sort of kind of similar, except it doesn't have procedural planets/systems and multiplayer is do-it-yourself servers (think Minecraft). There was a very similar looking game shown at E3 I think in the Sony conference that for the life of me I can't find the name of, but it looked...

    Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV (2016)

    It's literally a lead in to the game, that they supposedly cut out of the game because it was getting too long. I'm not sure if that counts as a "ploy" so much :P

    No Man's Sky

    There's not exactly a great history between this forum and Sony either, so whether the missing and mis-advertised content is Sean's fault (I would say it's like 95% his fault) or Sonys, it should warrant equal criticism. Whether it was one thing or 30 things, it's still false advertising...

    No Man's Sky

    Infinite scope (or nearly infinite, NMS isn't technically infinite) and persistence have been done in games before. What's unique about NMS is the presentation of it, and presumably the "sharing" of discovered named things, which I don't believe has been done before. So you would be 100% OK...

    Yea I'd really like to see 7v7 or 8v8 in OW, I have a feeling it'd be more fun, but hard to say.

    No Man's Sky

    OK, again... they weren't talking about things that they said MIGHT be in the game, or that they'd like to implement given time. They showed gameplay footage, they said X would be in the game. Come release, a bunch of advertised stuff is missing. They were ambitious, and clearly TOO ambitious...

    Overwatch

    I'm playing less because I really only play one "endless" game at a time and Diablo 3 Season 7 hit. Pharah being painful to play for a couple weeks there didn't help either. Maybe the new D.Va minor nerf and Discord nerf will make Pharah less of a liability again though.

    Hearthstone

    I got a win on my first try and pretty sure my partner's first try as well. We rode Lightbane to victory although she died in the 30 damage nuke anyway. After that it was just whittling him down. Don't think we ever saw gargoyle. Honestly it's pretty easy unless you get super unlucky, I watched...

    No Man's Sky

    Well sure, that's what I'm doing. But where is the outrage this forum is known for? Why is everyone rolling over and just shrugging it off? There's so many indie games that build up hype and deliver as promised. It's possible to enjoy the game and still be pissed at the people behind it for...

    No Man's Sky

    This is the "getting away with it" stuff that bugs me. It doesn't matter if he said things half-heartedly, he REPEATEDLY SAID THEM OUT LOUD IN INTERVIEWS AS FACTS. And it was lies. It doesn't matter what extra hype people through on there, they said there would be multiplayer, then they said...

    Overwatch

    The patch notes look pretty good aside from dumpstering Genji. The D.Va change is exactly what I suggested when she got tweaked, Mercy buffs are super nice, Zen changes are in line, Roadhood hook getting less wonky is good for everyone, Lucio nerf is whatever (don't think it'll change his pick...

    No Man's Sky

    I don't really care about a game not living up to hype, they almost never do. I don't care if you vastly overcharge for a game or not, the price is subjective. But I get pretty pissed about companies and devs outright lying to consumers and getting away with it because of attitudes like "that...

    No Man's Sky

    Ehhhh. You can nitpick that one but they said a TON of stuff (and showed stuff in videos, both years ago and shortly before release) of stuff that they talked about that would be in the game that is not in the game. Again, using footage of the game from over a year ago with features that are...
