    Well technically, it's quite an improvement compared to their previous console, so that kinda works out. It isn't compared to competition though. Anyway don't care either way, I'll buy if good game and I won't if not. It's not like I have to spend money for a console for a bunch more years...

    The amount of talent isn't relevant? If Icefrog wants to change 20things about a hero, he didn't need talents to do that. The amount of things that can be tweaked increased, but the amount of things that will be tweaked isn't necessarily going to be higher. This patch is probably not a good...

    Doesn't seem any more of a pain in the ass than "Hero strength growth reduced from 2.2 to 1.9" and "Mana cost rescaled from 10/15/20/25 to 15/20/25/30" and all the other shit. That's how Icefrog balances and every patch is just a long list of minor changes with a few big ones. I mean even that...

    You can get perma sprint from an AP unlock I think? Plus you never run out of stamina if you do the thing where you get a second wind. Basically you release the key when you have like 5% left, and it refills your entire bar instantly, so you can sprint forever as long as you don't mess it up.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    They say that in the regions they have these, only 30% of the people actually buy them. And people will still level their alts manually rather than pay money I think, at least a lot of them will. Meanwhile new players definitely won't buy the overpriced leveling shit to begin with cause they...

    From the post, which for now is only for korea and china, it's 2500yen per potion(about 20dollars). There's one potion to skip the story clears all the story up to Heavensward, unlock all aetherytes, all dungeons considered cleared and you can watch all the cutscenes at the inn as usual. This...

    There's a bunch of decent heroes, windrunner, batrider(can easily see him too since you fly), phoenix(tree clearing is fairly large so don't need that much precision), vacuum(although this one apparently is a bit weird cause it pulls before breaking trees so monkey king doesn't get stunned cause...

    I've seen him lose a lot, in fact he's very binary I think, people who understand his strengths do well, but people who don't seem to absolutely suck at him. He's squishy and has no escape, so if you're not dominating/manfighting, you're gonna get rolled over. Also if you spend all your early...

    DOTA 2

    Yeah the passive is dumb cause it's like a way better ursa swipes thing, but he gets a built in positional tool at the start of the fight AND has like twice the standard melee range, and once it's at 4 he's like a living god and his Q does like Lina ult damage. Probably need to tweak the...

    DOTA 2

    Yeah no, I mean he's pretty OP, but his Q isn't roar, it's a 2secs stun, it's basically a fissure but it does high damage since it counts as a normal attack and always crits. Sven's stun is also 2secs, for comparison. His ult is also different than Riki's, he's not invulnerable during it and has...

    Maybe you played with some but didn't know cause the good ones would probably either not speak or speak english. Russians were the same back when I played, the good ones weren't the ones raging in all chat, you'd generally only notice cause of their accent when speaking english or because after...

    He tends to be a bit technical, but he's a good hero, picked in competitive pretty often too. Trick to glimpsing into stuff is to just glimpse first then cast the rest on the marker, unless you have a really good feel for the glimpse rewind time thing and can remember exactly where the hero was...

    Lol watching a random pro game from some chinese tournament, CDEC vs EHOME, 61mins game, 69-67 score, everyone lvl 25, most people 6slotted including the supports, Jakiro with like 1200 attack range and deso/deadalus sieging buildings like a sniper, shit's pretty hilarious.

    DOTA 2

    Nimbus definitely looks good but it reminds me of Furion's Agh where it feeds the enemy a ton of gold so you better end fast. The lvl 25 stuff didn't look that interesting cause it was very uncommon to get 25 before but from what I've seen people reach 25 a lot faster now. I guess the bounty...

    Final Fantasy XV (PS4 / XB1 / PC)

    That's a bit hard to say honestly. The story and characters are anime standards. That doesn't mean it's like anime in its style, it's more made up to western tastes but the tropes are very anime(then again the anime tropes other than the little girl shit tends to be similar to western tropes...

    Yeah expect a bunch of updates, they weren't done testing at all, they just had to stick to the date they announced or whatever. They made 8 updates in a day on test and reports of various bugs, some gamebreaking from a competitive point of view were still coming in. I think they use test just...

    Evil Geniuses and Alliance become player-owned organizations Now that's not really a major deal, but the interesting part imo of the article: "Evil Geniuses have appointed former Dota 2 player and The International 5 champion Peter "ppd" Dager as its new CEO. Dager will oversee Evil Geniuses'...

    There's a little, but mostly it feels like spoilers about the story like Luna stuff. The anime OVA Brotherhood was actually kinda better in that regard since it builds up the characters' backstories. You do hear a bit about them in the game, but not that much.

    If you want a defensive item to counter single target stuff, that AM agh is definitely superior to both linken and lotus. Although obviously, you have to build it yourself(or you went full retard and you also have alchemist on your team and he gives it to you with the farm he's been stealing...

    If you played Heroes of the Storm, they're basically moonwells, kinda. Basically, they're small buildings in the jungle that when right click, provide an aoe that gives very high regen(like fountain kinda). Cd is 5mins (it's a cd on the building so for the whole team) and they have backdoor...

    Thing to remember about talents for supports is in a lot of games you're not getting the last, or even the 2nd to last one. They haven't changed that much about support xp that I can see, and it looks like they actually nerfed pulling with the way the new jungle works(just going off the notes...

    It's also kinda less bullshit with the bo1s in loser bracket where people get eliminated from one bad game/fancy strat shit. Also seems faster, cause less matches played I think?

    To be fair, it's a relatively low risk play, they're on megas, their carries are alive, half the enemy team is dead so they probably won't be pushing for a while and he might have buyback(not sure). Buying a rapier with no buyback/aegis on Luna when you've been dying first on every teamfights...

    Aren't you forced to camp at some point in those chapters? Like before or after the mine I forgot. That said it's a bit of a non factor to me, I don't do achievements(which I assume there's one that involves getting all recipes) and I don't think it's a good food. I don't mind missables when...

    Early tower advantage and the ward is strong(well, not against Juggernaut but in theory it is). But it seems kinda meh especially with that draft. Also Lion can do a similar job without an agh as a support so it feels a bit wasted to go Pugna just to counter illusions.

    Yeah it's one really good thing that I learned when I started playing the game, did a quick search on missables as I often do when playing rpgs cause I hate missing important stuff, and apparently you cannot miss anything in this game. I mean, I know of one quest where you can miss items if you...

    Illusions don't benefit from flat damage, so rapier does literally nothing on illusions. It was entirely the Blademail(well and Soul Catcher, and not sure if he had the Bloodseeker buff on top which would have made the damage return retarded). Also casters apparently didn't notice but there's an...

    I don't know I liked the fact that night was scary. And dark, when it's clouded/raining you can't fucking see shit past the lamp range, which is pretty cool.

    If you unlocked autodrive at night, you can just fast travel at that point. But yeah early game you want to go sleep at night, it doesn't last that long and you can still play at night, just not drive around without running into lvl 30 giants and shit. If you run into them on foot though you...

    I believe Regie said they didn't want to launch the console without a solid amount of games, so the delayed launch might not be a production/hardware issue, but just making sure the games are done, especially Zelda which is probably going to be the big console seller.

    It definitely look like they thought they had megas, then saw the racks mid with low hp, rushed that down, then went like "yay now we just bail if they chase us they lose their base so we're fine" and then there was still a rax bot. Anyway was a pretty solid game. I like that VP picked stuff...

    Personally my PS4 does that with every games, I've kinda gotten used to it, shit's just noisy as fuck. Weird you don't get it on other games. Changes to the story sounds nice, maybe I'll replay it eventually.
