I float back and forth between the tiers as I tend to streak, but I've noticed this as well - as a result I enjoy solo queue in the normal bracket more often than not now due to other "Good/decent" players being pulled into the mud as well/general increase in lower tier skill level. I'll take...

I disagree. You don't really ever move away from lower skilled players unless you're playing with/against stacks or in private games. I use my weekly limit of reports in High/Very High more often than Normal. ---- As example, imediately after posting this I got pulled into a very high...

I think it's just plain silly to act like pre-release E3 is a major battle of the console war when it's a skirmish at best. The only thing to be decided is stock pricings for a few weeks.

Cracked courier scripts... I am amazed.

So another case of marketing cashing a check the dev team can't cover?

Seriously fuck that invisible bridge/trap floor in the 2nd to last dungeon. Game kept bugging out on me literally like 3 hours from beating the game. After like two years I went back and finally finished the game.

I don't consider myself a videophile by any stretch of the imagination, but that hardly looks HD to me. Retouched surely, but HD? Hahaha.

I meant the entire library across the course of the system's life. Both systems had a shitastic start and I honestly thought the PS2 was going to be the end of my video game career for a few years. Going on 7 Years since system release and I came up with the list above. That's me though.

I would have gone for: DmC God of War (Gamefly) Heavy Rain Infamous (Gamefly) Uncharted (Gamefly) Valkryia Chronicles Yakuza So that's 7 titles, and what -- 13 games total? None of which would have gotten much play time from my friends/family/roomies/Soldiers as much as my 360...

You have no idea how true that picture is.

I can look at the entire library and pull maybe 5 titles total that have remotely any appeal to me. Of which, only 3 am I fairly sure I would enjoy. Having exclusives != quality or worthwhile titles. Pretty sure Microsoft proved that point with the original Xbox. What it boils down to is...

Honestly a yes/no poll doesn't adequately reflect the thought processes that go into the decision. For the PS3 it was a nice to have feature because I had a PS2 and an extensive library I would have enjoyed bringing over. However, considering the PS3 was worth less than shit in terms of...

Doesn't need a new thread, but a wave of discounts went out for TW owners. I have a 75% off Shogun 2 if anyone wants to trade/needs.

Been reading reviews and it doesn't sound like the game is all that well balanced or fleshed out. Anyone here able to drop an unbiased review or confirm or deny (lack of)quality?

I stand by his (Scyfi) quote. Every TW game I've purchased (S 1/2 , M1/2) has more than 1,000 hours playtime into it. I even gave a friend S1 + M2 while I was in school and nearly ruined his marriage over the 3 months his wife let him keep the game installed.

If you look at it with the same eyes as Lord of the Flies it works. Doesn't matter how smart you are if civilization regresses like it does in a school social hierarchy. The only glaring problem that comes out of all the geniuses running around is how idiotic they are when dealing with...

Speaker of the Dead, Xenocide, Children of the Mind all have a completely different tone and target audience from Ender's Game in my opinion. If you like EG, the Shadow series makes up a much better prequel/sequel series as it targets the same audience that EG did.

4 Minutes at cruising speed (335mph/380mph max speed) assuming initial S/SE approach from JB Andrews. Roughly 2.5 minutes to be within howitzer range. By the time it's noticed off course and COMMO check fails, the gun is already firing.

That really made me want a higher production value "Deadliest Warrior"-esque game.

I went ahead and funded them around the time that Original Sin was nearing it's final stretch goal. I almost regret it now. I really enjoy JA:BIA, but nothing about this kickstarter campaign says "professional" to me. Maybe I'm spoiled from my previous contributions... Anyone else looking...

Ditto for Natural Selection.

"Ave, Bloomberg, morituri te salutant." ???

I only disagree with the generalization of our fragmentation. For the majority you're spot on, however, history shows that it (communal banding) runs in cycles -- currently we've been in a low period for the last 30'ish years (minus periodic spikes)? I agree with everything else. History has...

I do like that the Sergeants/Centurions actually do their jobs now in battle instead of the generic affirmation to issued orders. Still, it would be nice if you could cultivate them like you do nobles/agents -- preferably in a KUF manner... Especially since Rome/Greece were notorious for...

Militias (as loosely organized, annually drilling minutemen) yes, are no longer directly impacting the freedom of our nation... (The concept of "to the security of a free state" is NOT directly equivalent to military power). However, open the concept of what they represent as (arguably)...

Hrmm. Revenge bombing?

I stand by my previous statement. Countering PL isn't an issue if you always know which PL is the real PL and which are fakes. Giving gem an illu reveal and/or removing the invis aspect to Dopple walk would make him massively weaker. Forcing him to get SB to invis out of a push and make a new...

You never evac from a HOT LZ without superior suppressing fire (ie orbiting gun platform/2nd bird) during extraction -- the bird was alone (against "normal" standards), so it's clear the avenue of egress for retrieval at the primary LZ or find another LZ/way out. The real question you should...

I'm probably in the minority here, but I think simply removing dopplewalk would be enough of a nerf. But yeah, push teams are really the only winning combination. Or have Enchantress/Chen?/SD counter illusion pushes.

From past experiences I feel it is safe to say compatibility issues are not grossly exaggerated and that "bang for your buck" doesn't adequately account for the "firmware" dildo ATI/AMD 'bangs' in your ass every few months. Or maybe it does after all... I should not spend more time syncing my...

I'm not intending to troll, honestly curious here. Are we (as a generation/society) really at the point that aversion to non-rushed, non-digital interaction between human beings has caused online dating/hookups to be a primary means of meeting people instead of a supplement?

If it helps a brother's jimmies, I'll throw in that the post originating the rustling was intended to incite awareness of the path that leads to another dead horse, rather than the continued beating of the previous equine. If horse beating were intended there would be quite a different list...

Agreed, but looking a the big picture you're only reinforcing the mentality that it's: Acceptable to nosedive a story, ignore established canon and motives, wall-up behind "artistic integrity", denigrate a series fanbase, then make a last ditch money grab after they're painted into a corner...

That's where my disconnect is with gaming. Who's really to blame? The corporate culture of EA, or BioWare letting people like Casey Hudson train wreck project design decisions?

Completely missed the point. Keep rocking the stereotype.

Hate to burst your elitist bubble, but there's a large community that only jumped ship from those "shit remakes" because DoTA has a more viable future due to its relationship with Steam and competitive scene. Doesn't mean DoTA is a better game, but it does mean it has a potentially longer...

Should have stopped typing a few sentences earlier. Seriously. If you can't see the biodiversity that has grown out of the niche that was created since Atari, you're a fucking idiot.

Flemeth saves Hawke before the Warden kills her. Killing Lily, Zev, Anders, and sending Alistair off are all retconned choices - I think.

Because a game is still a game regardless of the competitive level it's taken to. Which is one of two reasons for exactly why I don't watch any of the ladder games. When I was in CAL with CS my team still dicked around even in matches where we were being scouted for bottom tier promotionals...

What about Ser Looking-for-a-good-time-before-rotting-in-the-circle? Or "The Dreamer" ?? or the kid that turns himself in when you assist with bringing in the renegades from the cave?
