HW is good. The game/story/leveling drags with all the post-launch patch quests. All classes are within 5% of each other, balance is so much better than WoW. Everything is just personal flavor.

Another "superstar" dictating to his team while still under contract. Thibs is fighting for his coaching career. He may not get another chance if this ends this badly.

That play brought Palmer's rising star back to earth. Crazy how he's still a fringe outside Hall of Famer after salvaging his career through that disastrous injury. The Bengals still haven't recovered – that team was loaded with home-grown talent but so many of those guys imploded or went out...

Noodle bought the MSQ skip. He'll be strictly running roulettes or highest level dungeon.

Tanking in FFXIV is different from tanking in WoW. Warriors, especially, basically play like a DPS class – I've likened them to a Barbarian in Diablo. Also as a precaution, the feel to the FFXIV leveling experience is… slow. Even at level 50, you only have a handful of buttons to push. It's not...

Samurai contribute more DPS than ninjas, but the stigma and "meta" with the playerbase is dumb.

Raid teams are 8 characters. 2 tanks, 2 casters, 4 DPS (usually 2 melee, 2 ranged because mechanics). The two favored melee: Ninja is welcome because of their uber threat management tools (they get a cooldown to give the tank extra threat and another cooldown to reduce one party member's...

The owners are responding. Poorly. Failing to keep up with the market/fans.

The owners aren't controlling the levers here. Fans like big offense. Three yards and a cloud of dust doesn't sell in 2018. The market is clamoring for a "more exciting" game, with big throws and high scores. Owners are just trying to do what the fans want. It's clear now in 2018 they just...

Mostly this. FF7 is not a good game to look at. $100 is pricer than it should be, but given SNES is $80 it's not wildly off. If it's ROM-capable for true nostalgia feels (fuck whatever 20 games they ship with), it'd be fun though no Dual Shock means no PS2 games right? Playstation 1+2 emulator...

FFXIV is on cruise control. It's a really good WoW clone set in the Final Fantasy universe. Like any MMO, it has its problems, but it's very well polished. For better or worse, the dev team is content to follow the same formula from 4 years ago. It's successful and fun, but it's static with a...

It was fine, I guess? Between Daredevil, Punisher, and Luke Cage, this is the worst. Daredevil/Punisher are must-watch, but as someone who knows nothing about Iron Fist, this series is largely forgettable.

This thread is like virtue signaling but for food. How many of you are regulars in the Fast Food thread?

I'm of the opinion that yes, the default UI sucks especially for new players in "difficult" content and Add-Ons bridge the skill (experience) gap very effectively. Not completely – it won't magically turn you into a World First Mythic Raider, but the difference in competence between Little Timmy...

What's supposed to be Seattle's upside? They haven't drafted well since Pete Carroll spent most of his time watching college players. Russ is a fine QB with a team-friendly cap number ($24 million), but they're treading water while hoping to draft their next big star or land a big free agent...

It's not saying that at all. It might be somewhat like F1 if on the one hand you hand semi-autonomous fast cars and on the other hand you had stock Toyota Corollas, but that's still not a good analogy because it treats the issue backwards and in that scenario no amount of driver skill can...

Yes, much of the "skill" in MMO's is installing the right tools/software/UI setup. Or you have someone on Discord telling you what to do who's simply reciting the big text from the center of your screen/repeating your audio triggers.

D-Wade coming back for his "final season." Will he jack up 50 midrange shots for his last game?

Andy Reid does not get enough credit. Steelers are winless through two games, Big Ben just threw 60 passes, and Bell is still at home; it's okay though, because they share the division with Elite Joe Flacco, the Browns, and a Marvin Lewis coached team. Despite the Bengals' 2-0 start, Pittsburgh...

Hunt could be HW champ in Bellator and get paid big money, but he'd have to fight plenty of steroid users.

Looks like another infusion of cash to feed the FF7 remake beast. Porting over dumb mobile games to PS4 is… odd? XBox gets some good games – the new FFIX is amazing, FFXII is superb until the final boss, and the X/X-2 was supposed to be decent but may be a bit dated now? Big winner is the...

Basically, yes. Apple presentations are a relic of Steve Jobs' showmanship. The team that goes up on stage anymore doesn't have the same charisma, but they largely follow the same formula; unsurprisingly, the result is uninspiring. Apple isn't "fucking retarded." They have 18% marketshare, but...

The title is of course stupid clickbait, but the point is A&M has both the most revenue AND the most profit in recent years. Texas makes a bunch of money off merch, A&M's numbers will probably take a dip after their stadium funding etc., and Clemson somehow misses the top 25 entirely (Alabama...

Notre Dame's quarterbacks aren't going to scorch the earth. Either Wimbush maintains his cool and has elevated his emotions to be a sufficient game manager, or not. Don't think we'll see their new freshman QB and a dual-threat offense emerge mid-season. Kelly's going to play QB whisperer with...

Will this launch paid early access alpha before Pantheon?

The phone died over a year ago. I purchased it when it was the current Google model. Either Google or LG could have stepped up and kept me as a customer. Neither showed any inclination towards a winning customer service attitude.

T-City got nothing. No show money, etc. when Max dropped out due to "concussion-like" symptoms the week of the fight. He went public and appealed to fans about how he was treated. Weeks later, Dana/UFC finally covered the costs of his camp. Showing up and making weight doesn't get these guys...

Yeah he was dumb and said this. Loses a lot of negotiation power. Whatever though, he won't be in risk of losing his belt and he's getting more fan attention/respect/hype out of it?

Till is hype and size; the latter shouldn't be underestimated. Woodley has skill and experience on his side, but he faces questions regarding his health and athleticism in this matchup. If Woodley is healthy and strong, he's got a major advantage, but if he's not 100% Till could punish him...

Article also says she's suffering from a compression fracture in her neck. Sounds like someone in her camp is hyping up a story for the lawsuit. Pain, suffering, and loss of work.

Sony requires PSN or whatever, too. Monster Hunter World is an online game – PC players play for free, while console users have to have Xbox Live or PSN; every "online" game on console is tied to a $60/year subscription to Microsoft/Sony as a console tax that PC users are exempt from.

Are you saying nVidia was being deceptive in hyping their new product???

I did. Had the dumb model name wrong.

Understandable. Fi's network stuff is nice. As is, I have a cheap T-Mobile MVNO without MMS/group texts. iMessage helps. I like the value I get under Fi. Haven't looked into switching. *Was a 5X, not a 6P.* How is this not LG's phone? Big ass logo on the back says LG...

I see you already ordered a new phone, but for posterity I use an iPhone on Fi. My Nexus 6P stopped charging. It's a known logic board (?) defect; Google told me to get lost, LG told me they'd repair it for free if I sent it in but it was a 4-6 week wait. I told them if that was the best they...

Anyone paying for this should instead fund Brad to buy P99. P99 has better graphics, better gameplay, better netcode (thanks @Secrets ), and will work flawlessly on your phone/tablet/any PC made since 2002. Imagine with his team of 30 developers they could add a new expansion to P99 called...

Hard to hate on that Rams contract. Allows the team to spend deeply into their current salary while allowing flexibility and lower cap numbers in future years when Goff will be getting paid. The Rams will keep arguably the premium defensive player for six additional years and were able to...

Yeah but they're fairly worthless at level cap/high ilvl. Dailies give bonus exp, bonus gil (gold), and some bonus currency (which easily caps out per week anyway).

Staying in "development mode" is their only way to get income. No one is paying a subscription to play this abomination; their only option is to live off donations from whales who believe it's gonna rock.

To run Pantheon you just need a computer from the year 2001, but it will run like shit even if you could time travel and use a computer from the year 3001.
