    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    We'll see how much this Xbone rage actually translates to money lost. I'll believe it when I see it, and I hope that microsoft has some troubles when it comes to policies and ideas that I think are bullshit but I don't have high hopes for the bulk of consumers to have a self righteous stance...

    Hex: Shards of Fate TCG - Set 7: Frostheart 6/29/17

    Is this game going to be the money pit it seems to be if you want to actually keep progressing past a certain point? Pricing on the digital card packs seems quite high.

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    There are multiple genres of games much more suited to skill based differentiation of player ability. FPS, MOBA, RTS obviously. I don't understand the desire to PvP in an MMO - it almost always comes down to a very lopsided engagement that is predicated on surprise, levels, gear...

    DOTA 2

    Chuan's comment on the west was about spot on from what I thought, he said paraphrased that the western teams have been mechanically inferior, and that they will still lose if that hasn't improved (true), however if their mechanics are good enough the west is strategically far ahead of the...

    Falling out of love with gaming

    There are many good games out there, but if you're looking for games that suck up hundreds of days played ala EQ or WoW, there isn't a fresh game capturing a ton of people getting that kind of result. The only games currently played like MMOS by any gamers are competitive multiplayer titles...

    DOTA 2

    I'll just chime in, I think in lower skill brackets where carries get less than half the possible CS even in a purely safe lane. That if you're playing support, that you should not necessarily be trying to last hit every mob, but a few here and there to buy more wards, is good practice...

    DOTA 2

    First, you implied game abandonment is an absolutely chronic problem in the environment of matchmaking. Abandonment is not a problem except in the very very very shittiest part of dota where people hardly play or just don't even know what the point of the game is without tutorials and other...

    DOTA 2

    I guess that's your passive aggressive counter argument. To Wuyley The game has built in pings and map drawing, no it isn't as good as having a team that both can and wants to communicate, language has little to do with someone wanting to work with the team and not. There is a wheel...

    DOTA 2

    Two things, first people who abandon games regularly get put into a queue with leavers, you will not play with them during their cumulative increasing abandon time if they repeat offend. And the higher away you get from being in the lowest matchmaking, these people will never play a game...

    Just a comment about surrender and why its bad for dota. And Go Alliance, 7-0 G1 lan won't be a forgotten accomplishment for a long time. Dota hero balance is more of a continuum based on time/farm. A quick and dirty illustration that is completely fabricated Crystalmaiden - Jakiro...

    That was an awesome game, an absolute must watch, seriously no joke. Quote Attributed to Chuan in the TL Piece "Regarding Western teams: I can only say that if we don't completely make fools out of them, then their strategies are decades ahead of ours. There will be no middle ground...

    That's a dumb idea unless there's a bigger plan, than that, what if your friend borrows your game? or someone steals one? what's the protection? some giant database of serial keys?

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    Valve wins at PC gaming specifically, microsoft can't unseat them, all they can hope to do is launch something like origin and hope enough people cave to their exclusive games, But no one would buy a game on origin if they could get it on steam at this point. Assuming Valve doesn't screw...

    Silencer is just a pick that is hard to fit into many lineups, he's good enough to get picked, but he's not good enough to be pickable in every draft. He's situational, he really hasn't seen a ton of experimentation in meaningful games since his revamp though. I wouldn't be surprised if...

    That was fucking brilliant idea, was amazing, I don't think the rest of DD even knew what happened when that fight started, and I agree that's the only reason they won that fight so hard Yeah giving mouz puck seems like a terrible idea that's what today taught me. His head thinks in all...

    I'm really losing steam as an iap player, I still log in every day, but the rate of rare pulls is so abysmal. Watching some of you drop 50 bucks on pulls and seeing like 2-4 good things out of all those stones is just mind boggling to me that the rate is so poor.

    EG - just showing why they are an overpaid under-motivated team across every game they support, its so bizarre to me how casual they take their jobs on that team for the most part. They seem to be on a bit of tilt after game 1 against mouz, I am skeptical of their mental ability to overcome...

    DOTA 2

    He's still primarily a 4th pick which means he is chosen situationally after 10 bans have hit the board. Teams have shown more than half their lineup, and if he's the second pick in the 4th position the opposing team has 1 pick remaining to deal with whatever DK brings to the table in that...

    DOTA 2

    Biggest issue with DK is that he has no way to accelerate his farm except for dragon form ancient stacks at 11+ and those arn't reliable with ward blocking, or the other team just fucking with the ancients. Battlefury is never going to be built on him due to the nature of dragon form, its...

    Jozu: I don't mind your posts, personally I think its the most important part of dota and league to be honest, that people find it fun in some way regardless of their absolute game skill. In the Vhigh bracket, no game would go on so long that a single hero could wrack up a kill line of...

    DOTA 2

    Kind of an odd explanation, desolator is a debuff. It doesn't stack with itself, and the proc is considered a unique modifier, so it doesn't stack with lifesteal either. Having a desolator is rarely a bad pickup in any game, but often time it gets overlooked because its not as important...

    325 stamina used over the last two wednesdays for mystic masks - zero dropped. Not going to get to run another one for the days out I believe. I can't believe this luck.
