    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Well the story starts slow, and is full of terrible fillers, so that doesn't help. I think the first primal fight is pretty nice though, the build up isn't the greatest but it looks really cool and gives you a decent taste of how they do their story stuff(iirc it's around lvl 20, after Halatali...

    Monster Hunter Series

    Yeah no I know that, I guess I should have said a new one. This was just a port of the old Wii game, I was hoping for a port of 4 with the new weapons, monsters, mounting and all that stuff.

    Monster Hunter Series

    I played the demo for this and while the game looks really fun, there's just not fucking way I'm playing this kind of game on a portable console. Screen is too small, controls are annoying(and I don't mean the camera shit, I mean just the 3DS in general is clunky as fuck imo). To me it's a great...

    The Order: 1886

    The black line stuff was decided pretty early, but yeah it's most likely more for the FPS shit. Game does look great though in return, so eh. I watched a few videos of people playing, it looks alright. Has quite a lot of cutscenes(though it was early in the game so could just be story stuff...

    Hearthstone

    Not really no. You can still play a threat, and they might spend their entire turn/board to clear the threat you played. But if instead you have a Bloodlust, you can't do shit. Now optimally, you don't run in a situation where the only card left in your hand is Bloodlust, but Shaman is notably...

    DOTA 2

    He made some mistakes for sure, but he also played some stuff really well. He still has a lot to learn but that's the whole point of "omg so young" shit, he's probably nowhere near his true potential, assuming he doesn't crumble under the pressure at some point on the way. Reddit had an...

    Hearthstone

    The best part probably about Bloodlust is people don't expect you to play it in constructed, so they might get lazy with the totem clearing even if they're ahead and with no risk, which might get you wins. It is however a completely dead card if your board is getting cleared every turn, it does...

    Crowfall

    So far, EQN is as bad/good as this, which neither because they don't fucking exist. Could argue against the art style and shit but that's whatever, if you don't play good games because you don't like how they look, that's just pretty fucking dumb. Now EQN might turn out to be complete shit(I'd...

    I'm excited about 2.55, the "end" of the story for ARR. For the events at the end of 1.0 they did a lot of cool stuff like the moon where Bahamut was imprisonned would become bigger and bigger over time, so I wonder if they'll do that here too, like dragons flying in the skies of Coerthas and...

    I assume the relic will only let you skip the initial bullshit quest or something, but not much more. It makes no sense to require to do the old relic for new players/anyone switching to the 3 new classes, and while they could simplify the quest a lot to make it faster, it still makes no sense...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    As mentionned, no. They also said Red Mage would most likely be a poor fit to the current class system. Because of the trinity and wow-ification(WHMs can solo so they have nukes and BLMs can cross class a heal at least), there's not much it could do that other classes couldn't do. They might...

    Hmm Blizzard actually said the contrary for the next expansion I think, something about only doing 2 raids in WoD then going into next expansion right away rather than the usual 2 years wait.

    DOTA 2

    Just facerushing they would have lost, Tiny is a big building destroyer sure but they could drop him before he dropped throne, as well as everyone else. Near the end they actually tried with relocate and shit and they barely scratched it before SF imploded Tiny. They needed way more building...

    DOTA 2

    He messed up, but he shouldn't have had to bail people out of being caught like retards over and over. I think overall they should have frozen the game for 20mins or whatever, boring as it may be, and re-itemized from the ground up with the objective of just killing the throne. A bunch of...

    Yep Ixali is the same as other tribes, other than they have 4 "top tier" quests per day, the normal 3 per NPC and one that's like a crafting delivery thing(like the GC stuff) that gives even more rep than the top quests. They also have 7ranks so that's nice. I haven't done an ixali quest...

    The Authoritative Final Fantasy & Bravely Default thread

    Action RPG. From what I understand, combat is closer to say Kingdom Hearts, than typical FF. I'm definitely getting it though, looks pretty solid, and I want to see that FFXV demo too.

    Don't know how well it'll run on PS3, I'm definitely getting it on PS4 since I'll buy one soonish so I'll have it for this.

    DOTA 2

    I think they looked pretty serious in that game, there's just only so much you can do when you draft a worse lategame that's built around pushing early versus a turtling lategame team with a medusa. If you get the buildings, nice, if you don't, you're most likely fucked. All things considered I...

    Eh, at this point of time, I'd say it's probably not worth it. The first thing you need is every trade at 50(well you could skip LTW and GSM as the cross skills on those aren't relevant for endgame crafting, for the most part). Then you need to craft for a while or spiritbind, so you get money...

    Man the high level crafters are such babies on my server. Keep sending me tells on how I'm ruining the economy and undercutting too much. Bitch I'm undercutting 10k at a time on a 1.8million item, how is that too much? "It adds up". Well fuck yeah it adds up cause you keep undercutting me so I...

    Darkest Dungeon

    Yeah I gotta say I don't really get it, I'm pretty sure the game isn't finished yet, I'm not sure why everyone's excited about the release date or whatever when I think it's just EA shit. I don't care shit about EA I don't want to play an unfinished game but don't know. I mean they released the...

    Hearthstone

    The way I've seen it used mostly is to play a card that doesn't have a direct immediate impact to make use of your mana and put you in a better position in the future. For example a warrior playing a weapon when he has nothing to attack and just passing with it, "developping" it so that in the...

    Well in general a good crossbar setup has all your often used abilities on main bar, and cooldowns on other bars, with a normal line bar somewhere on the screen with the cooldowns so you can see when stuff is up at all times. For a paladin, I'd do Halone chain+Spirits Within on front buttons...

    Bloodborne

    Skipped the cutscenes and stuff and just watched the combat, sadly it's pretty much what was shown before, same area and stuff. I've seen stuff I hadn't seen before but possibly cause I haven't looked at the game much, the Hunter's Dream and various UI stuff. Game looks great regardless. Now...

    Yeah sylph daillies are retarded, even more so than ixal stupid gathering daillies. Luckily once you're done, you never have to do them again, unlike Ixal. Got my Zodiac weapon done yesterday, it took a week on that step but it was A LOT of dungeons(90ish), I went at it pretty hardcore. The...

    Ah nice guess I'll reinstall this to check it out. Or I'll check the stream on wednesday to figure out if it's worth checking already or if I should wait.

    Dragons Dogma Online(Dafuq you say Crapcom?)

    F2P by Capcom is already a pretty fucking bad sign, but yeah it's also unlikely this is ever ported. If it is well, I don't expect much anyway, because of the first thing, F2P by Capcom, which means it's gonna be a fucking shitfest of microtransactions that aren't so micros. Game kinda looks...

    Guild Wars 2

    Yeah seems like way less than what they added in any of the GW1 expansions, and EotN was only like 6-8months or something after Nightfall iirc. Obviously the content is of higher quality with voicing and shit, but most of it is still in engine cutscenes and stuff, so it's not like crazy new...

    Well for this time zone, japanese servers might be better, but more lag and obviously sometimes you'll be in full japanese groups(though there's large english speaking communities on most jp servers). There's the unofficial australian server too, not sure which it is, issue being everyone else...

    Guild Wars 2

    Well GW1 was definitely a PvP game at first, but as they added expansions they developped the PvE side a lot and it ended up being really good imo, though very different than most mmos since it was a bit like a real time baldur's gate or other party based RPGs. GW1 and Factions were very PvP...
  33. Pyros

    Guild Wars 2

    Well imo it wasn't as much of an issue in GW1, at least PvE wise, because of Heroes and mutliclassing and shit. You had access to virtually everything, so even though there were some definitively better builds than others, it was ok because you could be all these builds, and still add your own...

    Guild Wars 2

    No one knows, cause they decided to be super mysterious, so they had more shit to reveal at the next PAX in 2weeks or whenever that is. And then they'll reveal a bit more, but still keep some to reveal later. It's normal but yeah can't be hyped about the very little stuff they've talked about so...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    IIs are more rare than IIIs, for the most part. They're more expensive by a fair margin on my server. Reason is everyone spiritbinding does 45+ gear, which drops a lot of IIIs, for the chance of getting IVs. But IIs? Not nearly as many people bind those, and you still need a good amount. I guess...

    They might nerf the relic steps further next patch, maybe, since they're adding a new step. At this point though unless you dedicate your entire time to the thing, you'll probably not get done before the expansion, it takes a fucking long time to do everything. You can do fairly decent...

    Aren't the new "classes" other than Ritualist going to be super limited? I mean, it's only one weapon per class it looks like. Hunter with staff=Druid but that means you have no swap if you want to stay druid, so only 5 abilities? They have an engineer with 2H hammer that looks like quite a bit...

    Yeah reading that it's happening a lot with preorders. Guess Nintendo gonna Nintendo and didn't make nearly as many as the demand, so they're now cancelling a bunch of the orders. Granted, it is a limited edition but kinda sucks, especially since I guess a bunch of people only bought a New 3DS...

    Eh, Shiva EX is really pretty easy, though what you get in PF can be a mixed bag I assume, there's people who have cleared it and still suck at doing the most simplest thing. As a DPS especially, it's like herpderp mode. She goes up in the air while spinning? Go to your assigned spot(they're...
