    Summoner's War - Sky Arena

    There are some monsters that areclearlysuperior to other monsters (hi2u Fire Inugami for an easily attainable example), but good runes make (or seem to make, to me) a much bigger difference. As soon as 3* are consistently available, don't even bother with 2*. When 4* is easily attainable, don't...

    Summoner's War - Sky Arena

    Agreed, but I also think that inflation inclines you to underestimate some of the okay-but-not-great-according-to-this-metric that "only" score an A-. Case in point: Fire Amazon. I didn't find anything better until Fire Inugami.

    Summoner's War - Sky Arena

    If anybody feels starved of friends, run the Light Dungeon today and tomorrow and hope for a good SD (Fairy, Inu, etc). I Pulled a Fairy and added 12 people (several of whom were 30+). Though I imagine at least some will be dropping after the SD expires.

    Hoooooly shit opened a 3-pack and got a wind Ninja, water M Witch, and a wind Priest (food for fire). RNG Gods favor me for once

    Summoner's War - Sky Arena

    This is a great game, but the F2P/IAP dynamic has been all kinds of fucked up in my experience. I've paid for probably 4 high scroll packs. (Well, paid for whatever denomination will bump me from where I am to 750 crystals). Gotten a 4* fire sylph and a 5* badass fire priest (forget her name)...

    I quite like Water Werewolf. With swift and some hp or atk it performs pretty well!

    Summoner's War - Sky Arena

    So i have the materials for one 5*. Of the following, which would best serve? (Done some research -- pretty much all of these are commonly held to be good monsters). Fire: Amazon (Ceres), Sylph Wind: Warbear, Living Armor Water: Elucia, Werewolf, E Priest, Water Imp (Flynn), Bearman

    Late response, but thanks for the tips, everybody. Made it to 16 and have a few 4*. Tag = Balzmir if anyone wants to send an invite - I don't have any friends yet!

    Summoner's War - Sky Arena

    Just started this last night, got up to ~12 and... getting consistently demolished in the arena. How the hell are level 7s and 8s consistently having awakened three star monsters? Am I missing something? Spent full energy 2x on magic and fire dungeons and I'm still not even close.to being able...

    WORLD CUP 2014 - BRAZIL

    Alright, now that we're going into the semi-finals -- anybody care to single out any specific games that you feel were exceptional? I'm terminally afflicted by World Cup Fever and would love watch some fantastic games that I might have missed, even if I know the results. For the record, my...

    Apologies if this has already been covered, but does anybody know of a way to watch the World Cup on a PS3? I cna stream it to my computer, but I'd prefer to use my TV.

    Dark Souls 2

    Christ -- that barely looks like the same game =/. I bought the console version because I don't, as a rule of thumb, care much about graphics. But I think the Souls series (as well as the Bioshock series) needs to look as good as possible, because their appeal stems in large part from the...

    What did you just read?

    I'm reading The Martian, by Andy Weir, and it's one of the best SF books I've ever read. A piece of debris rips a martian astronaut's suit open; he's assumed dead; fellow crew aborts mission, flies home. That's in the first few pages. This is 'hard' SF, btw - no differential equations, to be...

    As somebody who's never played a Paradox game, would this or Crusader Kings 2 server as a better introduction? I own both.

    Suggestion for PC player to get into occasional console side (PS4)..........

    I don't think I understand what you're asking. Consoles have a lot of awesome games but I don't know why you'd play an FPS on them when you have a gaming rig. Get a console for the exquisite and exclusive gems like Demon's Souls or Naughty Dog's offerings or Journey, etc etc. BF4 on PS4 is by...

    Rerolled Games of the Year - 2013

    Bioshock Infinite. I'll go ahead and disagree with the common sentiment that the game has an incredible story/atmosphere saddled with pedestrian gameplay. The atmosphere is without rival, the story was really cool, and I thought the gameplay itself managed the same level of quality. If I had an...

    Too many games?

    I too am having the same issue. Would it be constructive to share titles that might have brought on a temporary halt to our tendency to compulsively sample but not truly play a large number of games? Rogue Legacy, for example, held me rapt for a good 25 hours. Hotline Miami for 8.

    Your most disappointing/worst game of 2013

    Prepared to be flamed into oblivion, but I gotta say GTAV for most disappointing. I bought it because I wanted to know what playing a $200 million (I think) game was like. The quality of the world is pretty much without parallel; the characters are great; the sheer amount of variety in the...

    I'll echo the responses already written. I just picked up the Civ IV complete/gold/whatever bundle (figured that if I loved it, I would later buy the fifth, thereby doubling my gaming bliss!) The tutorial is fucking painful and interminable, and I can't find a way to save progress in it, so I'm...
