    The F spam is capped, you only have to hit I think 2 or 3 times a second to reach the cap, pressing faster doesn't break stuns faster(so there's always a set minimum duration for stuns). It's a fucking stupid mechanic regardless. The others are fine, knockdown is shit unless the guy is out of...

    Steam Deals and Digital Sales

    Yeah I grabbed it last time it was on sale. It's pretty cool but only if you like the combat style(old school party based RPG with a lot of pausing and shit, basically like DA:O recently) but don't care much about the RPG elements, since the game is basically 99% combat and 1% cutscenes, with no...

    If there were no PCs it wouldn't even be a topic either, doesn't really make it a good argument though.

    Might & Magic X: Legacy

    Yeah I mentionned the resist stuff multiple times when I was doing my 4 mage playthrough, after the city of lost(or before if you try to explore shit before going there) becomes super painful until you manage to level up a decent bit so that normal mobs don't resist much more and then you just...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Loot 2.0 doesn't mean you're going to find a ton of upgrades right away, and especially not if you're geared in legendaries/top tier rares already(not like super top tier but high tier at least). It simply means you'll find less loot that is entirely unusable by your character(wrong main stat)...

    Yeah I've already removed it from one of the set, waiting to actually get something useful on the melee one though. Problem is I often press the wrong button to swap before a block(like out of points on a set, switch to the set with no guard instead and get crushed). Wouldn't be an issue if...

    What I hate about the time constraints is the NPCs being only there at certain hours and shit, so you need to double check everywhere every 5-6hours of gametime to make sure you're not missing shit but then you have to stasis non stop to complete the quests, many of which have extremely vague...

    DOTA 2

    That's what they used before but I don't think they use that on the new matchmaking, or at least not the same scale of numbers. Plenty of people over 5k for example and as far as I know it goes up to 6k+. In team matchmaking I saw a post recently that I think it was Sneyking's stack that's over...

    Drakengard 3

    They announced a date for this btw, May 21st. Comes out as digital only in europe, both box and digital in the US. Also new video, but warning, it's extremely similar to the first one. Does have some gameplay mixed in though

    Dark Souls 2

    Generally it lets you shit on the early trash mobs. And then the first boss comes, and it's about as useful as a tinfoil hat and a papier mache tower shield. Regardless though it's shit you can decide to use or not. It is similar to the dragon sword or skipping ahead to get the +4scimitar in...

    Dark Souls 2

    Yeah I'm just gonna buy it on PS3 then buy it again in 2years or whatever on PC during a sale with all the DLC, like I did with DS1. I don't think they'll release it on PC soon, probably late may at best, maybe later, and fuck waiting that long.

    Path of Exile

    Bumping this because this definitely deserves it. They're apparently releasing a "mini expansion" on march 5th. Forum - Announcements - Path of Exile: Sacrifice of the Vaal - Path of Exile They'll be releasing more information during this next couple of weeks about what exactly that means...

    Cool, getting the game tomorrow(yay euro release dates) but that sounds nice, even if I don't have super high expectations still, if it's challenging it'll be fun enough.

    That's arguable, you're considering the stuff that you deem acceptable in terms of watching anime, such as adult themed anime, which is fine, but a lot of the stuff popular in the west is the teen oriented shounen anime, such as dragonball Z in its time and more recently naruto, one piece or...

    Both the examples you've given were written by japanese writers. It's not an issue of the nationality of the writer, simply of the quality of the work and what they're trying to do. Here's an example, Dragonball the movie was written by an american(well technically born in hong kong but works in...

    Styx: Master of Shadows

    New trailer for a new game. Looks like Thief-like, but interestingly enough you play what looks to be a goblin, which is much smaller in stature than a normal human, adding a fairly interesting point of view in the gameplay/pseudo gameplay stuff they're showing. Anyway probably won't be news...

    Bound by Flame

    Looks more or less the same to me. This and that other game that was linked in the RPG thread I forgot the name of. No way to tell if it's going to be better, worse or the same as KoA from these videos.

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    I think if the game was F2P, it'd be probably worth playing. It'd most likely have the same preorder shit and would nickel and dime you on a lot of shit ingame I'm sure, like skill cap or whatever, but it'd still be ok. For a box+sub game though, they've been way too secretive with the game...

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    Well they did a fairly large wave in january, most testers(well active testers) got 3keys and they sent a bunch more too. I assume they're content with how many people they have atm playing the beta, don't really need more than enough people to populate 1-2 servers really.

    Hearthstone

    Moonfire can be ok. Moonfire+hero power is 2dmg on 2, which isn't terrible. Basically, it's 2damage for 2mana and 1card, with the caveat you need to actually attack shit, but it's not like super super awful. It's also early, maybe you get a drake or a geomancer and it becomes better. Or hell...

    Unsung Story: Tale of the Guardians - From FF Tactics and Vagrant Story designer

    FF6? Simple consistent story, single villain(easily one of the best villain in a video game ever), unique characters. No time travelling, no alternate dimension, no deus ex machina/conscience of the universe/fate as an entity or whatever the fuck they've been using since then. FF6 is very simple...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    Since TESO can't be modded I think in 10 years morrowind would look even better. Not really relevant though since this is a mmo. Their fog looks too foggy though, clear day screenshots seem to look ok but as soon as it's foggy weather or whatever, can't see shit. I mean that's the fog concept...

    Thief (2014)

    Bumping this thread since I stumbled upon some news I had missed that sound pretty good. Basically, they have a customizable "difficulty" setting where you get to select a bunch of options to change certain aspects of the game, such as removing upgrades, removing HUD, removing checkpoint...

    Might & Magic X: Legacy

    Well there's Grimrock 2 coming out sometimes this year, which looks a lot better than the first one, which was already pretty good. There's also a bunch of kickstarter projects, not tile based stuff but like old school PC RPG, like Planescape Torment/Baldur's Gate. So bunch of stuff coming...

    Might & Magic X: Legacy

    Well you can edit the penalty in the files to be 0, so you hit for full damage with bows, it's justifiable by the fact your archer could be shooting from behind your tank, or by the fact casters don't have any penalties. Even then though bow/crossbow damage is fairly bad vs fully speced melee...

    Oh so sounds fairly pointless then, good. So you can play without doing most of that shit without too much of an issue I guess? By the time I get the game I doubt anyone will still be playing so wondering.

    Btw since I haven't bought a 3DS yet and probably won't for a while, what's the code shit/villagers thing do? Is it necessary? Is it like pokemons where you exchange skills/classes?

    Accents tend to be not used on capital letters, but can be. So it would be Agn?s but in all caps would turn into AGNES. Might be simply technical limitations, a lot of stuff can't actually display capitals with accents. As to why change the name, not sure where you found the name(the demo...

    Might & Magic X: Legacy

    Well the dark elves ambushes kinda make sense, the blackguard ones very much less so. One thing on difficulty that I found very interesting is, they have a fairly large file of traps locations, but they're not hooked or not functional I don't know, so you actually never have to care about...

    Might & Magic X: Legacy

    Yeah Vorph you can actually do that easily with casters if they crit with GM focus. It's quite a bit stupid imo and ruins the last sequence which is otherwise fairly interesting. That said if you have an optimized group it's not challenging anyway so not a big deal to skip it. The game is really...

    I'm not sure what animation locking has that makes it not action combat. Fighters(SF4, Smash Bro, Marvel etc) all use animation locking as their core, Demon souls/Dark Souls and such use animation locking, in fact a lot of action games use animation locking because it looks better. You press a...

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    Animation locks is what differentiates Tera's combat from everything else that's normally compared, not the fact you have to aim at things. Wow had aiming, albeit on a very small amount of abilities, but shit like cone of cold and shadowflame(I think?) and you had pbaes like frost nova and...

    Might & Magic X: Legacy

    Lifetap is nice but there's what is it, gloves or chest, that gives like a pretty good %, vampiric something. That said if you have a GM water/earth in your group, healing is more or less useless. Only thing that "hurts" are spells and regen or nurture covers that easily. Relentlessness...

    The exact percentage would be about the same as GW2. It's more or less the same, and you can see that from streams. Very few skills that require you to stand still, most of the skills are cooldown limited, some classes do have secondary ressources though(which doesn't make it close to Tera since...

    Heroes of the Storm

    Well that's the thing, you can rework everything via triggers, that's why technically the WC3 "engine" has very few limitations. You can easily make the bounty for last hits 0 though, and then add constant gold, or remove gold entirely, and I doubt making xp global would be that hard since...

    The shops actually sell lategame weapons, including seahaven which specializes in swords. There's stuff that's like dragon sword or whatever the fuck, they're worth like 14k which is quite a bit, but they have the maximum damage range in the game, so if you find one that had a good proc or like...

    Heroes of the Storm

    The thing is, "teamfights" don't happen from the start either in this. There's 2 lanes, and people are split between the 2lanes. They insist multiple times in the various matches they've shown that you want people in both lanes to maximize xp gains, then you want people to go down the mine(on...
