    Dark Souls 2

    DLC doesn't bother me. There's, obviously, demand for it and From was pretty up front that they'd do it if the demand existed. I just finished NG+ and started right into NG++ to finish the platinum. The platinum isn't too bad but you really need a dedicated play through to get it. The NPC...

    It's going to vary from person to person and deck to deck. It's not easy to "dodge" competition. With that being said, I found that during the week, mid-afternoon is my worst time. I have more trouble during afternoons than at any other time of day.

    Dark Souls 2

    That's fine. Personally I've killed every boss solo and with groups. Because I'm going for the platinum trophy I'm looking for the path of least resistance and some fights are just drastically easier with someone to hold the boss's attention while I Soul Spear it's ass off. I also think some...

    Dark Souls 2

    Enemies hit harder and there are a bunch of new enemies (a LOT of red phantoms some of which respawn after being killed and some that don't). Some of the bosses have new mechanics but I just killed the Tomb Guardian guy and the only one that really sticks out is the Lost Sinner. With that...

    Zoo? Against a lot of decks it's going to go at least 2 for 1 and you can't ask for much more than that.

    Two trophies left. Miracles and Pyromancy ones. I just killed the dual dragonriders so I'm done with all the tedious stuff of NG+. I really haven't screwed around with optional stuff (never did the docks area) but I did take the time to kill the Undead Executioner for the Stamina Regen Ring...

    I really didn't play much last season so I started this season at Rank 20. And I remember why I hate the low ranks... You play some really BAD decks at the low ranks and sometimes they're so bad they actually work because you have absolutely no idea what to expect and RNG has hosed your card...

    I'm not sure anything needs nerfing at this point. They just need to stop dicking around and release naxx sooner rather than later and let the new cards shake up the meta.

    Dark Souls 2

    So far not having any issues on my NG+ run (first time for me). Killed Last Giant, Pursuer (over by the bonfire when the eagle drops him off), and the two Dragon Knight guys. I've noticed that things are REALLY aggressive in NG+ but the new stuff, so far, hasn't been an issue. A lot of Red...

    Dark Souls 2

    4 trophies from Platinum. It's the 4 spell trophies which look to be a major pain in the ass. They require a lot of Covenant grinding or I need to reach NG++ to buy them in the castle (bonfire thingies won't work either). I finally wrapped everything up I wanted to do on my INT build...

    Dark Souls 2

    I know it's been nerfed but I really like the Moonlight Greatsword. Upgraded with Magic Infusion (and 50 INT), it does really nice damage and has great reach. I burned a Bonfire thingie to get it and I realized that I need to kill her yet again to get the spell master trophy... I'm down to...

    I played two Freeze / Stall Mages earlier when trying to finish my daily. I also saw a streamer (forget which one but he wasn't one of the more well known ones) running the same deck. They play a couple of Doomsayers, Frost Novas, Blizzards, Ice Barriers and Ice Blocks. They try to run the...

    So I guess Freeze / Stall Mage is a thing again... I'm actually sick of this game right now. Even trying to finish daily quests isn't fun.

    Dark Souls 2

    It still amazes me at how bad some people are at this game though. I like to drop my summoning stone and help on bosses and I can't believe the number of times the host engages the boss and dies within 10 seconds. Then there are the people who summon people with the expectation that the...

    I don't keep up with Nintendo news all that much so this is the first I've heard about Castlevania: Symphony of the Night 2. That makes me tingle in my special place.

    The one thing that amuses me about my post is all of the wild auto-corrects my ipad made without me even realizing it... Yeah, I only have one Ancient of War myself so that's why I run the two Lores. If you're strictly comparing Ancient of Lore to Nourish (i.e. the card draw), I can see your...

    I assume the Deathrattle is going to be "random" to serve as a form of drawback for such a powerful 4 drop creature. That bit of randomness can be played around for such a strong minion though IMO. Trades with a Yeti and stays on the board (even if nearly dead it has to be taken out).

    1 nourish is usually enough. As Mures said, the 2nd wrath is pretty much mandatory in a Druid deck so I'd keep the claw but drop 1 nourish for that 2nd wrath. My other suggestion would be to drop the Worgen and knife juggler for 2 yetis. They are prime innervate targets because of how tough...

    Dark Souls 2

    I started over as a Sorcerer build. Early game clearing is really tough due to the lack of shield and the limits on spell uses. But bosses are easy mode. I one shot Last Giant, Pursuer, Dragon Rider, Dragon Slayer, and Flexile. First boss that I died to was Ruin Sentinels which was a bit...

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

    Smart move on Microsoft's part to finally cave in to those demanding it. It's still too expensive for me though until there are enough quality exclusives to justify the purchase. But XBox exclusives skew towards the shooter market and those would have to be phenomenal for me to buy a system...

    I've seen bots a couple of times. It's pretty obvious when playing one. It's been awhile but they take a very long time each turn. It's very methodical where you watch every single card in hand lights up and whatever is possible to be played gets put on the board. Anything on the board is...

    Wolfenstein the New Order

    That was the one. No Multiplayer for the new one? That's actually a plus to me. Games like Call of Duty mail in the single player campaigns because they make their money off of multiplayer gamers. But if there is no multiplayer, the developers, in theory, should have devoted their...

    Hearthstone

    $90 is unreasonable and absurd. 5,000 gold for all the wings really isn't. Blizzard isn't going to give this content away for free (or even cheap). 1,250 per wing (again, the average) is more than I was hoping for but not completely unreasonable.

    Hearthstone

    The real money cost seems really high but I don't think the gold cost is unreasonable. Like I said it works out to 1,250 gold a wing which is more than what a lot of people wanted but not ludicrous. Remember, it is in Blizzard's best interest to get people to open their wallets so I really...

    I'm surprised you've never seen the Darklurker's void bomb. It's, by far, his nastiest ability. He opens up a rift somewhere in the room and a void bomb comes out of that rift and homes in on you. When it hits the ground, it explodes and is basically a one-shot. So the trick is to find the...

    I felt as a "bonus" boss, Darklurker was the easiest of them (though once you learn the fights Ancient Dragon and Vendrick they're not hard but you just can't make a single mistake). He's not hard with Ranged so long as he doesn't get super aggressive with the void bombs after the split. The...

    The first couple of days are the worst. You're trying to pack a lot into those days and work on the main quests as well. It also doesn't help that so much of the Main Quest stuff is time locked (like the whole Shadow Hunter / Children of Etro quest in the first city only being able to be done...

    I've been hovering in the low teens (10 to 13ish). I see pretty much every deck out there so it's hard to decide what to play on a day-to-day basis. Miracle Rogue, Ramp Druid, Watcher Druid, Warlock Zoo, Hunter Mid-Range, Trump Mage. They're all there. Mostly I've been playing Control...

    5-3 Every game I lost, all 3 of my Fireballs were in the bottom 15 of my cards. No complaints though. My card pack got me Lorewalker Cho! If there was ever a more situational Legendary card, I don't know what it might be. But he's still an Orange!

    I have to say, I wasn't sure the UTH nerf was quite enough but raising the cost to 3 seems to have accomplished the goal pretty well. I still see Hunters on the ladder but not nearly as much as before and it's obvious that the cost increase really influences how they play. Their combos come a...

    I finished X-2 again (was the first time in 10 years). I only got 95% completion because, by the end, I just wanted to finish.

    I don't disagree. I want Fiery War-axe in the early game. I want Gorehowl in the late game. I guess if I'm playing Aggro Warrior, Death's Bite replaces Arcanite Reaper? Maybe? Overall it's pretty underwhelming but then again the other class cards have been pretty underwhelming.

    Again, let's not kid ourselves. Hafu is good (particularly at Arena) but a lot of people watch her because she is a girl. She's, definitely, not as flirty as some of the twitch girls but she knows her audience. With that being said, it's obvious she plays the game because she enjoys it. It...

    I don't know who Elohime is but let's not kid ourselves, 99% of the people watching Legendary Lea are hoping to see some boobs.

    Edited out: I thought he was messing with sideboards and it appears he was inserting cards into a sealed deck tournament (as evidenced by the post above). Reyand himself has said he's not a role model and he isn't. But he's a pretty good Hearthstone player and his decks have influenced the...
