    Bioware's "Anthem"

    So is loot progression based solely on levels? I hit level 10 last night. Should I start seeing legendaries or epics or whatever while progressing through story missions or is mostly when I am finished?

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    I enjoyed my time with Warframe, but it's not a game I can binge simply due to the endless time gate requirements even when progressing through story. I think I spent $200 just so I could do what I wanted with my time when playing which is annoying. I'll probably still give Anthem up once my...

    Pretty good variety in the Twitch rivals tournament. I was fairly surprised that Selesnya Tokens won though. Let's see if there is a resurgence from all the netdeckers.

    Cool, that means it's time to try out the PC version and see if loading times aren't AIDS.

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    Went EA access to try the game out on Xbox and after 3 hours promptly cancelled and uninstalled due to load times even with SSD and speedy connection. I might try the Origin access and see if PC is better, but if not then it's a definite no buy from me. I do think once this has been out for a...

    Yeah they definitely messed with the matchmaking during one of latest updates. I'm playing a ton of mirror matches this last week.

    JRPGs

    I beat it at the 50 hour mark and promptly uninstalled all the data off my Switch. I don't think I've invested that much time into a game and been completely disappointed all around. Now I don't even want to start Octopath Traveler or Xenoblade Chronicles 2 since both have such mixed reviews...

    JRPGs

    I am trying to enjoy Vesperia, but I am about 40ish hours in around level 54-55 and just finished battle of zaude and I honestly cannot wait for the game to end. It took like 10 hours just to get the story moving. The endless cut scenes that add no value are obnoxious. The combat has become...

    Mortal Kombat 11

    I've got a Qanba Obsidian modded for all systems. I got lucky with the stick for $120 from a Newegg sale and then did the modding myself. It's the first non custom I've bought in probably a decade and it's pretty nice. They do look to have skyrocketed in price now though ;/ Typically any...

    I finally just sold all of my value paper cards and now I have 40 pauper esque decks in the standard format from XLN->GRN that I play with friends on paper which is enjoyable since there isn't any turn 4 kills and lets new players experience the game without being super overwhelmed. Haven't...

    Look man I won't knock anyone for being broke, but you don't NEED the meta to succeed. There are players posting their absolute shit looking decks on reddit making mythic, people playing pre-cons making mythic. All you need is time, luck and good skills. It's frustrating at times not having...

    The point is the game is not pay 2 win by any stretch. It's pay 2 have more options quickly. I haven't spent a penny on RNA and I have most of the cards out of it already that are worth using. Even if I started today with a new account I could be grinding the ranked ladder no problem or getting...

    If you're having a bad streak then suck it up. If you're not misplaying or flat out bad even precon decks can keep a 50% w/r over time and are good enough to hit mythic with. Spending money is just having more decks to play with and nothing to do with having better decks since there are...

    Mortal Kombat 11

    Same. I was pretty lucky as a kid circa 1980's. We owned about 20 arcade/pinball machines and one of my neighbors used to fix arcade games and would bring me to his huge warehouse full of them so as soon as I could stand on a crate to reach the controls I was gaming. Then as a teen a friend...

    Tom Clancy's The Division

    I really hope this ends up launching well even if it's just a expanded setting of D1. Anthem feels mediocre, Destiny 2 is dead to me and all of the copy pasta battle royale games are so uninspired I really don't understand their popularity.

    Hit plat in b01 in a couple of hours rotating between mono r and mono u. Don't think I've seen so many opponents misplay in the entire time I've played mtga as I have today so it might be a good time to grind while all the bad players are trying to rank up over the weekend. Nexus is/has been a...

    If everyone hated RDW and aggro this month just wait until next with $7.5k on the line. I'm really curious how this top 8 standing is going to work since mythic ranks change so fast and bo1/bo3 will share ranks.

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    Google Express is giving $20 off $100 for purchases until I think Feb 4th and you can snag Switch stuff which brings most of the items as low as they have ever been. Bought 4 games for $160 using two different email/cards.

    Just look at all the crying about burn/aggro atm. Even my Gruul monster and r/g dinos are suffering a bit with all the hate decks in bo1. RDW burn is still doing work though since you can turn 4 kill so often.

    Super Mario Odyssey

    I am not going to go crazy trying to find any more in that level as the ones I found were just pretty obvious so I figured I'd grab them. I highly doubt I'll 100% the game, it's not my thing as it makes otherwise fun games a chore. I've also never been a Pokemon fan =P

    Super Mario Odyssey

    Just played this for the first time tonight. Spent about 3.5 hours in the Sand Kingdom and was pretty surprised there are so many moons right off the bat. I nabbed 60 before I finally called it quits and I know there is at least two more that I saw, but hadn't gone after. Really enjoying it and...

    MTG thread

    I use Card Kingdom and eBay from reputable sellers when I buy and usually eBay when I sell since I can dump all of my extra cards at once and not waste time doing 40 shipments. Usually get pretty close to paper value too even after shipping/fees. I'd probably only sell individual cards if they...

    It's just an efficiency thing. I typically play to grind out the dailies and then I'm done and that's mostly via constructed events. If I'm traveling for work then I have time to dedicate solely to MTGA since it is one of the few games I can play on my laptops, but I also just got a Switch so...

    Oh quick play and constructed has been pretty varied for me as well. I like bo3 on paper, but in arena it's just too long to commit when I can usually pop 5-10 games an hour in bo1 in the same time frame.

    What rank? I stopped when I hit platinum because rewards suck vs other options, but played a dozen games this weekend to see how RNA changed things and I only have 1 RDW and 1 radkos. The rest are pretty varied.

    If Riot makes an MMO in the LoL universe they can have my money and I haven't played League since like 2013.

    I think I'm settling with this for the next few dozens games and see how it goes. I'd like to ditch the steam-kin completely even though they are nice when they pop off, but they make for great removal bait instead of the guttersnipes. You essentially end up with 16 1 drops if you have a wizard...

    Yeah it was pretty popular with savj when he grinded to mythic so probably a good chunk or people still playing it.

    Decided to try burn with skewer and light up the stage and it's actually really nice. Seems to make playing with guttersnipe and electrostatic field viable. Got a lucky loop with steamkin and managed to play almost 20 cards on turn 4 from what started as a pretty shitty opener to end the game...

    Yes riot stacks so it makes things super fun when you can +1/+1 and haste. That's why I got the little 2 drop goblin in as well.

    I swapped in 3 Ravager Wurm and 3 Zhur-Taa Goblins. I like the way this feels. If I get a good opening hand then game is done by turn 6-7. if not then I can stall out pretty well with Growth-Chamber Guardians to use as fodder. I agree with the enchantments I'm deciding if I should ditch 2...

    I still can't decide what I want to do to refine this, but it is doing work. 14-1 with the only loss coming from land screw and it was still a close game. I need to build a green stompy version and a true r/g dino with reggie alpha to see how they play out, but I absolutely love Rhythm of the...

    Casual play is deck based matchmaking. If you want to play junkers then build decks with no rares/mythics.

    If you want to build a competitive deck then popping packs is best. If you dont care about constructed and like limited format then go for it, but it's not worth if it you are getting less than 2 wins in my opinion.

    Both. Until you are geared to take a hit, don't take hits. Once you are over geared or have methods to deal with hits (ex: rocksteady mantle) you can be a little bit more of a slacker.

    I would almost never recommend running 1 of anything creature base. If you have at least 3-4 of another creature - hunted witness, the other elephant you can convoke for health maybe as a 2 of with your venerated. Combat tricks could probably replace your legions/historys. Basically anything...
