    Persona 5

    Amazon delivered it a day early. Pretty fucking excited to check this out today. Also it's the PS3 version so I'll see if it seems slow/etc.

    Persona 5

    From what I've seen it's basically just going to have slightly longer load times, and probably look slightly worse but the game was originally developed on the PS3 so it should be just fine.

    Persona 5

    ^ Interestingly enough though it's pretty hard to market this game to a western audience. It's a very unique series. Also while there are some anime elements, it's not too overbearing. I'm kind of a light anime fan, and still completely love Persona games.

    Persona 5

    Less then 2 weeks on this, pretty fucking hyped. Managed to avoid pretty much all the spoilers, and I can't wait to go back to Japanese high school for year.

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    I also feel like people are irrationally defending this fucking game. I don't even hate it because of the SJW stuff, the animations and ridiculous lines/story are what sour the damn thing. How can an original trilogy fan not be appalled by this shit. Think about the awesome moments with Garrus...

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    I love some of the critics responses, exactly what I figured they'd do. "A welcome return to Bioware’s space opera, introducing great characters, an interesting story and some fantastic designs, always providing things to do.". Generic bullshit praise. It's sad because I'd of overlooked a lot...

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    I'm betting 80-85 critics and 30-40 from players on Meta. Can just see half the reviews now from the critics "Bioware has made some missteps in places, but as a whole Mass Effect Andromeda is a worthy entry in the Mass Effect series"... or some bullshit like that. Basically lets downplay the...

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    You can make anything look terrible if you take all of the bad shit and show it in a highlight reel. That being said this game is certainly not a day one purchase, but I don't know if Bioware fucked up enough with animations/dialog to completely ruin the game. Also they really fucked up with...

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    I think the residuals thing is a bit much, but everything else they want as part of the strike seems legit. Also game looks kind of decent so far, cautiously optimistic.

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    Despite all of the controversy the series as a whole is incredible, so many amazing moments and feels. While I'm extremely skeptical of Andromeda being good, I can't help but hope it is. Also I have to add the big thresher maw Vs Reaper fight in terms of awesome moments in the series. Not as...

    Stardew Valley

    Actually the multiplayer element is being worked on, but there aren't a lot of details yet regarding it. Stardew is a pretty brilliant game and it will be interesting to see how they approach multiplayer with it, pretty excited about it.

    General Purpose MMORPG Thread

    I feel like we won't get any kind of revolutionary MMO anytime soon, but perhaps when VR/other technology becomes more refined it could facilitate something new. I do agree with the trend being towards games like Overwatch and Hearthstone, but hopefully that's not all we get for the next 10 years.

    Tales of...

    Just a quick question to series veterans, is the combat just a zergy-clusterfuck at all times or am I just not seeing the full picture because of only playing the demo?

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    The Switch looks like an overpriced pile of shit, but Breath of the Wild looks pretty fucking awesome.

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    They probably did re-use half the shit from DAI to save some money. Sadly I feel like this game has a 10% chance of being actually good based on what we've seen so far and who's involved, but hopefully I'm wrong.

    April god damn 4th can't come soon enough.

    Pokemon: Sun & Moon - Nov. 18th

    The first island is a bit rough if you're over the age of 10, but the game as a whole is fantastic. I can't imagine if you're a fan of series you'd be disappointed after finishing the entire game.

    Persona 5 - Coming to...

    Sad that it's going to be delayed but if that makes the translation better it's totally worth it. Also I can imagine it's difficult to translate a game as deep and complex as Persona 5, it will be worth the wait.

    Eternal the Card Game

    I'm not sad they decided to just make MTG with a good interface/online client. Game is really solid so far, I've played maybe 12 hours and I'm pretty sure I have a tier 1.5 or so deck built. As long as they don't really increase the grind, and market the game I'm pretty sure it will succeed. I...

    Steam Deals and Digital Sales

    Not that interested in this steam sale, so much meh and I have too many non-steam games to play already. Anywho, just came to recommend The Long Dark to anyone that wants a single player ultra-realistic wintery survival game. Had some really fun moments playing it already, and even though it's...

    Persona 5 - Coming to...

    Yes. It's really, really good. I would also recommend Persona 3 (portable or FES are both great) It's a little rough around the edges, but the themes/story are incredible.

    Persona 5 - Coming to...

    Persona 5 is going to literally kill me because I probably won't move for the first 100 hours it takes for a play-through.

    MTG thread

    There are always a few random niche card games to play, but generally MTG is going to be the biggest in most areas. In my experience, you basically have MTG and 1-2 other card games that appeal to niche audiences (like Pokemon TCG for younger people, etc) So if you're looking to make friends...

    Persona 5 - Coming to...

    Release date announced today for North America is 2/14/2017. A bit sad that it's 5 months after Japan, but I'm super hyped. The pre-order is up on Amazon now as well.

    Hearthstone

    I've had a decent amount of success in this meta with a slower-tempo based Mage deck. Spot removal such as frostbolt and arcane blast for early threats, polymorph against 4 mana 7/7s/Nzoth has worked quite well. I do think being on the controlish side is probably wrong in this meta, but I really...

    MTG thread

    I honestly feel like Wotc hasn't had their shit together for as long as they've been around. Between Magic online, all the little Magic duels games, and overall play structure of the main game (judge issues, event issues, store relations, etc) it becomes pretty apparent they haven't managed the...

    Hearthstone

    Really excited for Standard format next week. Anyone think C'thun warrior will be actually good, or is the payoff too low? I mean you get some pretty bad minions, but the 7 mana gain 10 armor guy and C'thun seem like pretty incredible payoffs. Considering you only really need to cast 2 dudes...

    Story of Overwatch and Fall of Titan - Blizzard semi documentary

    Totally agree that this is a fluff piece for Overwatch and even Blizzard as a whole. I feel they over the last 5-6 years Blizzard has lost a lot of the good will it built with the community. The whole Titan story is very interesting though, hopefully they do elaborate more on what happened with it.

    WoW Vanilla Emu - Emerald Dream

    I'm playing devil's advocate here, but I'm pretty sure not everyone hates garrison/shipyard missions, and a lot of people hated reforging. I would assume a massive portion of the player base either didn't take advantage of reforging, or did it incorrectly. I would also assume a lot of people...

    Hearthstone

    I'd go off on a limb and also say keeper of the grove is also too strong. I'm actually interesting in seeing what they do to druid, if they just get rid of force/roar combo I wonder if the druid ramp decks will be good enough. Clearly though, there will be some changes to druid cards.

    Overwatch

    You can outplay turrets in this game too, it's just too new and people don't know how. You can Farrah, Tracer, Reaper, or play a barrier tank and counter it pretty well. That being said it's really punishing to new players, not much room for error against it.

    MTG thread

    I concur, it's possible something is out there buried in the depths of standard that doesn't play a fair game and can ignore how powerful those cards are. Perhaps something that can kill Avacyn and not really care about her ability, and has a win condition that can play around declaration.

    Shin Godzilla (2016)

    From what I know, it has to have something to do with nuclear exposure. Either this is a continuation from earlier Godzilla movies in which it's actually the original Godzilla's son who basically absorbed a ton of radiation after dadzilla melted/died from exposure, or it's an brand new...

    Battleborn

    Borderlands 2 was an incredible game, and I can't fathom why they decided to do Battleborn in the current market over a new Borderlands game. That being said, I'm going to check out the beta this week... but based on public opinion so far, it doesn't look good.

    Enter the Gungeon

    Been watching the promotional stream on Twitch, looks real fun from what I've seen so far. Will be picking this up I think, hopefully it has neat secrets and extra end-levels like Isaac does.

    Black Desert

    Here is a 7-day key if anyone needs it: 85A1-2433-D623-4F25-A7D1. Also I feel I should shout out a thank you to Brikker for the opportunity to try out the game before I purchased it. Game is really, really fun.

    Black Desert

    How does the longevity look in Black Desert? Is this going to maintain decent numbers or crash and burn like most games? Also if anyone has a spare 7-day trial key, I would love to check the game out at least before diving in.

    Hearthstone

    The threats are just so strong in comparison to the answers right now. Too many cards that either win the game if not answered, or protect other cards from being answered. Also, you can die at 30 life with nothing on the board against a bunch of decks. Only solution is to just wait for new...
