    APM spam seems closest I could see but I've seen several cases of it actually hindering the person doing it so I dunno. Guy climbing wall as Hanzo just punches in the middle of it and falls back down and has to climb back up again, stuff like that. Edit: Ana looks decent but really looks like...

    Overwatch

    So watching these ESL and whatever other competitive streams, why do you just see people spamming melee strikes constantly? Not reloading, no enemies possibly anywhere near, no anything. It seems like it's just making noise and blocking their own view or even fucking with their own movements a lot.

    Overwatch

    Eh LAN centers get a pass. The reason it was so high up the played list in Korea was because of PC Bangs, not because of sales. Edit: Also you aren't sharing account info, just letting someone play. Account info is the big thing no company likes you sharing, for a bunch of (pretty good) reasons.

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

    Well fuck I didn't realize how eggs worked. I was trying to use my incubator directly and it wouldn't let me so figured I had to set it up at a Pokestop or something, not from the egg screen. Don't make my mistake, always be incubating!

    The stars mean they're leve 100 x star, plus whatever it says. So they're not 18, they're 118. It resets indefinitely like that I think.

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

    Any of the games I mentioned (aside from Pokemon Go I think) would be perfectly playable on a PC or Console, but they control fine on a phone and that's key. It's not about the phone controls being better than another system (that will be rare to non existent aside from AR games), it's about...

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

    On the somewhat offtopic of mobile games in general, mobile (and smart phones in particular) really lends itself to only a few genres well: Puzzles, RPGs, ARs, and anything that requires very few buttons to control (maybe arcade racers? Some platformers? Hard to say). I've only recently started...

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

    Was wondering what the circle factor was, thanks. It doesn't help that I haven't gotten any Pokestop to work in the past 24 hours, the few that I've been conveniently located near anyway.

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

    If this was released in like September or March instead of fucking July I'd probably be all in on this, but even at night it's like 80% humidity at 200 degrees in in KC so fuck that :P Passive playing it is. On that note, are there actually any tricks or techniques for throwing the Pokeballs...

    Captain America: Civil War (2016)

    I was attempting to refer to the common mythological beast most people think of when they hear 'panther' but yes, REAL panthers are just different-colored other large cats. Although they're still called panthers by some and still black so them not being their own species is fairly moot since no...

    Captain America: Civil War (2016)

    I feel like this is a fair point, especially considering that PanthersAREblack. Also I think it was a lot of jokes in the AoU thread about that being BP because of Black Heimdall and such stuff.

    It's not like Bond movies were representations of spies in the era they started in either.

    Marvel Universe stuff

    Yea I guess my point was, it's not the IDEA that's flawed, it's everything else about it. Batman Beyond was fucking great for the most part. The quantity of character shifts all happening around the same time, seemingly arbitrarily, with terrible writing, really doesn't do anyone any favors...

    The amount of people per team on the point making a difference is probably a good change, make it like payloads where up to 3 can sit on the point and keep it at max speed. Each enemy on the point slows the gain until it 0s out if the teams are even on the point. Have Overtime work on a similar...

    Awesome Games Done Quick 2016 - 2019

    RPGs should really be more of "Let's Break" instead of "Let's Play", although perhaps they actually NEED the time filler but I have to imagine there's tons of people willing to put up content.

    I pretty much agree with his article on the KOTH problems though... it's not hero problems, it's KOTH design problems. The way the score ticks up, overtime is triggered, map design, etc. all encourage the hyper mobile champs and makes most others a liability at that level. Not to say there isn't...

    Overwatch

    The article points out almost all the stacking "issues" are only on KOTH maps, and there's a ton of KOTH matches because of map bans and BO5, so there's a ton of stacking in the tourney now. There's almost no stacking and a much more normal diversity of classes in the non-KOTH maps. This all...

    There is an OK way to do character swaps like that, and maybe they're doing it with Iron Man as it's one of the best potentials for it, of actually passing the mantle to a new person. Tony wants to retire, gets killed, do other shit, whatever... Keep the Iron Man legacy going with a new talent...

    Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)

    You can't keep ripping on things from DC comics and then ignoring things from Marvel comics by saying "it's a movie thread", like 80% of your initial ranting was about Superman's character and stories from the past 60 years, and now you've sort of backed off that but are still alluding to...

    All of that stuff. Why not have two farms and help each other? Why not dungeon together? People want less interesting things in other games and mod them in so whatever. I'm not gonna play co-op I imagine but I can understand people wanting it.

    Farm simulator, or mining simulator, or fishing simulator, or friendship simulator, or mega-corp-small-town-crushing simulator, or lumberjack simulator. Probably some other options in there as well that I don't even know about. You can pretty much do whatever you want and experience progression...

    I mean, why not at this point. He wouldn't have to work another day in his life if he didn't want to from the crazy success, give the people what they want and it's just more dumptrucks of cash for him. Hell, arguably better dev support than Minecraft ever had already.

    Spectre (2015)

    Spectre had all the cheese of early bond films (and non-Goldeneye Pierce ones I suppose) but was trying to be as serious as Casino Royale. It made no sense to do it that way. It was SO FUCKING CHEESY but had a frowny face on top the whole way through. The thing is, that can be fine. It's been...

    Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)

    I distinctly prefer Marvel over DC and I'm gonna have to side with everyone against Wooly here, you clearly have not actually read any of the comics. Your single points of reference appear to be talking points of other people who have not read the comics and the movies that everyone (even DC...

    I've never played a Harvest Moon game, which is what Stardew is compared to most, but I loved Stardew. Was all I played for a couple weeks. Edit: Bought at 10% off I think? Or full price. It's cheap enough where I didn't really care. I think I have 60 hours in it so well worth $15 I think this...

    Posted some similar thoughts to this on NeoGAF, but honestly I think most non-hardcore people (and even some of those) prefer the consistent sale over the flash/daily mess. Also don't have people waiting until the last day and then forgetting to actually buy anything, for whatever that helps. I...

    You can beat almost any 3rd-person action game with 2 buttons if that's what you want to do, it's always been a dumb argument. You have tons of options outside of that and several missions where that won't get you through anyway PLUS a bunch of warlords who are immune to that. Branding was...

    SoM was one of my favorite games from that year, just because the gameplay was so fun. I didn't care about the branding, hadn't played any AC games, and LOVED the combat from Batman games, soooo it pretty much hit all the right marks for me. I pre-ordered it + Season pass and it was worth it to...

    So just wanted to do one quick placement match before bed... right as 5 second countdown to start happens, weird black spreads from center of screen suddenly until I can't see anything except my UI and other UI elements (hero outlines, names, shields).

    That's why the only thing to focus on is improving your own play. You will rarely play with the same teammates again (aside from organized play which is irrelevant to the conversation) and getting distracted dissection other player's mishaps just makes you play even worse. Again, the 5 randoms...

    That's not unique to Blizzard games, sorry to inform you. And it also doesn't affect the reality of the situation. There's DECADES of data and statistics behind ELO systems and MMR, and unless Blizzard decided to ignore all of it (including what they've used and learned from over a decade of...

    10 games isn't enough for plenty of people to find their rank, sure. But your progress after those 10 is pretty indicative of where you're going. Without knowing the actual stats and numbers behind Blizzard's ranking calculation, it's hard to know how many games people should expect to play...

    Except that it will rank you up. If you are consistently playing above the rest of your enemies (even by a little bit), you will win more games. If you are on the same level as your opponents, you will be about 50/50 and just see your rank fluctuate. If you are worse, you will lose rank until it...

    You don't need to, because that's not how it works, at least not the way you're complaining about. You are 100% responsible for your own MMR. If you group with a team and climb, and then soloq and fall, that means that you are not as good as your team and they are carrying you. If you soloq and...
