    No Man's Sky

    Yea I was just reading that post. It's kind of crazy. At the end he pointed out something that cheeses me off too: The videos they were showing a month ago were using footage from a version of the game probably years old that had features cut from the release version. The video from a MONTH AGO...

    Hearthstone

    Twilight Summoner is still good, it's just not good enough. It's also slow during the most important turns of the game right now. If aggro ever isn't dominating the meta again it might see play but there's plenty of good 4 drops.

    No Man's Sky

    I don't own the game myself still but people were saying if you break down a ship item you get the blueprint for it if you don't have it already? Basically, dismantle your old ship before hopping into a new one sounds like the way to go.

    Overwatch

    The medal data doesn't really help identify losses either, it's largely fluff and occasionally useful for knowing you are doing well. If you could see all the stats for your whole team, you could see what you were doing maybe, but even then that's half the story. Things that don't generate data...

    Deus Ex: Mankind Divided

    It's 20% off of $50 on Games Republic right now, and if you make + validate a new account you get an extra 10% voucher that stacks, so can get it from a legit site for $36 if it's your thing.

    Overwatch

    Hanzo is like the fastest Rein-shield killer at any kind of range, so I don't agree with the premise at all, especially since Rein barrier is closest to actually being a good idea to shoot out of the 3 (Zarya/Winston/Rein). Winston you just walk through the shield or ignore it or it dies to...

    No Man's Sky

    That's fine, what is and is not a review or reviewer is pretty blurry these days. I guess it just bugs me that his interactions with a game always seem to be like he never plays games, when clearly that's not true. I'm all for someone conveying first impressions but when I'm watching a video and...

    No Man's Sky

    While I certainly don't wish cancer on anybody, I can't stand TB as a "reviewer". I've tried to watch his videos and basically from minute 1 every time I have a better understanding of whatever game it is that I've never heard of than he does being hands-on. There's a bunch of game reviewers...

    Star Wars : Rogue One

    The Donnie Yen character makes me happy because (aside from DONNIE YEN) it shows that the Jedi/Sith are basically just churches or organizations dedicated to force users, but the force exists without them. They teased it a bit in VII but this looks full-on force use from neither group. Even if...

    No Man's Sky

    It was originally a PC only game so it seems unlikely that the PC version will be a "port" at all~ It only got added to PS4 after Sony came in.

    No Man's Sky

    I dunno, I guess the raw numbers don't impress me much because of all the other random generated games we have had over the years. The presentation is what's different here. If someone made a mod for Minecraft to auto-generate worlds and let you "fly" between them (actually I think there was a...

    No Man's Sky

    So I saw the Atlas thingy in that PS4 gameplay video linked pages back. Are the other paths as obvious? If everyone is going Atlas I wanna try something different :P Assuming I even buy it

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    I might be on some tonight. Ran out of GR keys so probably will burn through some T11 Rifts for some. Wait, can I invite lowbies into T11 even? Guess I could destroy T6 hilariously fast

    No Man's Sky

    I haven't looked it up, but didn't those patch notes say there's 3 paths now, not just Atlas? Or was that about something else? Are they like "story" paths or something?

    No Man's Sky

    If anyone has played Emyprion, this basically looks like a similar gameplay loop. Gather stuff, build a shitty ship, explore some, gather more stuff, make a less shitty ship, etc. There's differences obviously, the main being NMS seems to have an ongoing narrative which most of these...

    Android/iOS/Browser games

    So I'm aware that Final Fantasy Tactics is on Android, but are there any other mobile tactics games? Seems like a great genre for mobile but tactics games as a whole are notoriously rare and unique.

    No Man's Sky

    I'm watching those videos now. May bite the bullet but the price tag still makes me hesitate. For $40 or less I think it'd be a no brainer though. The fucking console-FPS aiming is triggering me a bit

    For Honor Ubisoft Feb 2017

    Yea. Maybe there's more depth when you unlock more classes or something but there's really not much there with what I played. I know it was a technical alpha though so lots of stuff to come probably.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Definitely don't feel weaker. I've got maybe 4-5 hours post-70 on my DH and already can do TXI fast and probably TXIII slow if I really wanted to. Thinking this'll be the quickest Season Journey for me yet based on it so far.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Group GR push stuff got nerfed, us peasants didn't really see anything get weaker and some sets are stronger. Helltooth Garg was maybe too far above other WD sets but wished they'd buffed the other ones instead. Feels like WD only ever has 1 viable build at a time when other classes have...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Pick up random loot at Horadric-Stops. Slay random demons and undead for xp. Actually you could do something there, but Diablo has consistently been ARPG through and through and it'd be weird to see a spinoff. I'm hoping for a D3 expansion personally.

    Hearthstone

    The problem is it would be a great tempo play on 3 if it buffs 1-2 minions except the buffing part will rarely be set up on 3. Which is why those tribes getting fleshed out more is key to it working at all.

    Hearthstone

    I think objectively it's a good card, maybe really good, but those tribes aren't in the mana slots in any decks right now to make it work. It's a Shattered Sun with more restrictions and more potential and Shattered Sun was solid for a long time. If those tribes get filled out more I think it...

    Hearthstone

    While it's possible the data is entered incorrectly (although I have to assume it's automated which would mean there's a bug there somewhere specifically for that matchup, I guess?) it's way more likely that a data set of 600 is more accurate than a loosely tracked data set of 25(ish).

    Thor: Ragnarok (2017)

    The plot of the Thor movies was pretty weak, but a lot of the dialogue is super tight still, especially in Thor 2. I don't outright hate any of the cast like a lot of people do so that helps I'm sure. Not that I think they're strong movies, but they sit comfortably in the middle on the laurels...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    FoK looks only required if you're pushing leaderboards. I don't know a ton about DH past seasons but watching a video a guy posted of DH in the new patch on PTR, he showed like 4-5 very viable builds. Although 2 WERE FoK, but the other ones weren't :P WD looks like it'll be fastest to hit 70...

    Pokemans and how to catch them with your phone - friend codes in OP

    I picked up a shitton of Pokeballs casually as I was in one of the busy shopping districts today. They've even added Pokestops since the thing started, there was maybe 30% more of them than the first week it came out. At any given spot I could pretty much hit 2 of them. Also the egg tracking...

    Wish the season had started this weekend, as would have had the perfect timing for me. Finally have a bunch of free time after 2 weeks of crazyness. Now I gotta hope I still have free time next weekend :P

    Hearthstone

    In Kripp's video he just said that he heard that there were 5 portal cards, so probably not one for each class even. That would be in following with the Forbidden X cards too, not every class got one of those.

    Hearthstone

    The problem is it's a Mage common from an adventure which means it is 4x (or more) more likely to appear in a Mage arena draft. It isn't an OP card but it is quite strong for arena and the fact that you're all but guaranteed one or two every Mage draft just gives them an edge, and they already...

    Split (2017)

    Kind of looks like a reverse take on the woman from "Switching Time", where she had 17 different personalities developed in the process of coping with some extreme childhood and adolescent abuse. Whereas in this case, the abuser is the one with the disorder. BTW, Switching Time is a really...

    Ghostbusters (2016)

    Oh yea those are great examples. Although Dredd is debatable because the first movie took the comics and basically un-refined them, so the Urban movie was just moving back in the original direction :P Another example of good uses of IP is the original Magnificent Seven - I love Seven Samurai but...

    Overwatch

    5 or 10 games a day in ranked is a LOT for a casual player, and ignoring losses would make rank meaningless as you could just play 5 games a day and your visible rating would always go up, even if your invisible MMR never changed. There's plenty of ways they can improve ranked but you can never...

    Ghostbusters (2016)

    I saw Rocketeer as a kid and pretty sure I still disliked it. Aside from Jennifer. She was my go-to for what my ideal looks were since that concept existed in my head. I understand actors doing crazy things for roles but yikes :/ I'm not even sure re-using the IP is going to benefit them any...

    Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV (2016)

    Yea I was just making a joke. If it's true it's an interesting idea and would be neat to see more of, but it's not something I can see ever becoming common or popular. You need a big game with a lot of funding and pre-existing interest to pull that type of thing off even half-decently. Filling...

    Hearthstone

    Summoning a random minion of X cost seems way better than Unstable Portal ever was. Faceless Summoner or whatever for example is relatively fine. Shredder was a problem because the stats were insanely good for the cost and it was a deathrattle random-summon. Edit: This might be the adventure...
