    Hearthstone

    Oh simple they could do with the secrets to make them a bit more interesting and somewhat closer to instant/interrupts is to have a "pop-up" asking whether you want to use it or not when an event triggers them. It would not be as flexible as instants/interrupts but it would better than now, I...

    Hearthstone

    While I agree that at the core Hearthstone is a lot simpler than MtG, we have to remember that Magic has been around for 20 years. It has evolved a lot over the years. I prefer the predictable mana of Heartstone to the Lands of magic. Being land starved or having too many Lands because of bad...

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    The thing is that Arrow has a lot of the same "emo" issues that SHIELD has, and a lot of the same head-scratching stuff happening. The thing with Arrow though, is that it''s pretty phenomenal outside of those emo moments. It's also doing insane amount of fan-service. SHIELD rarely manage...

    Guardians of the Galaxy (2014)

    The Marvel name will help with the marketing of the movie for sure. It will make people curious. It is by no means equal or even close to the Disney or Pixar brand, but it does have some recognition among non comic book nerds. The success or lack of will be mostly due to the quality of the...

    Captain America: Winter Soldier

    Loved the movie, I thought the Falcon was awesome. For a guy who doesn't actually like doing these movies, Chris Evans still manages to do a great job being Captain America.

    I just got it on my iPad, yay for being Canadian for once. It's pretty awesome, it plays very well...I think my iPad 2 is struggling a bit at times but still runs it well. I was waiting for this version for a while, this is a time waster for me...and I don't like sitting at computer to play...

    Marvel Heroes 20xx

    I have more fun leveling heroes than playing at the end game. For me personally is that during the leveling process, the game is easy so just about any build can be viable. So I can focus on abilities that I like for how they work, how they look, and make a hero that's fun and looks cool...

    I like the game, but then I love theme park quest based games and I enjoy the combat. I liked the Esper, Spellslinger and Engineer a lot. I kinda like the warrior and stalker but those were WAY too generic, if I am gonna play a sci-fi game...a generic warrior and rogue is the last thing I...

    Marvel Heroes 20xx

    I quit this game all the time. I love this game but in short dose, usually play for a week or two, then stop for month or so. I essentially get back every time they introduce a new hero or new content and level a hero to 60. Got moon knight to 60 this weekend, and got my Loki from 40 to 52...

    I like the new UI mostly because I hated the pyramid aspect of the other one. I'll have to actually see it when I play to get a decent opinion/feel for it.

    One thing about their quests...they split them into "Quest" and "Task" in the quest journal, although they are the same thing really. The quests tend to be chains that make a story that will take you through the zone, or part or the zone. The task are for the most part just a single quest...

    I had not played the game since they stopped last year because I had enough time back then to know that I really liked it, and didn't want to spoil it before release by playing too much. I decided to try it again this weekend, mostly just to give the medic and engineer a try since they were...

    Whenever I hear about how difficult EQ was, I kinda roll my eyes a bit. I mean, it was a challenge...but a very large part of that challenge was due to bugs and poor coding(or limits of the times). What was really hard about doing dungeons, or Fear/Hate? Bad pathing, mobs not clearing...

    Originally, the first time they didn't send keys, they were attaching them to accounts...but these are just keys that can be used on any account, therefore be giving away without having to give access to the NCSOFT account.

    Blade and Soul - Kung Fu Korea - Action MMO

    It's still very playable with an action oriented class, but some things are hard to do...but you still can if unreliable, there is enough options to the combat system that you can do other things. My blademaster has a block ability, it makes a follow up action instant, but if I hit block 0.5...

    Blade and Soul - Kung Fu Korea - Action MMO

    I made it to 30 on my Blade Master, I stopped when Nightcrawler came out on Marvel Heroes, but he's 60 now so will probably get back to this soon. While the questing is on rails, the combat and movement is so awesome that I don't really give a crap about the questing, the fact that I can't...

    Marvel Heroes 20xx

    I manage to finally get my first to 60 this weekend. I usually stopped around 30, had like 9 heroes there. So got Ms Marvel from 55 to 60 and Gambit from 32 to 55. I love the double xp, it should be like that normally.

    I don't think we can play the Korean version without the Korean Social Security Number thing. I made an account for the chinese version, it's not too complicated and been playing for a week now. I'm 28 blade master, the combat is just crazy fun. The rest is extremely linear...the combat has such...

    TERA

    I didn't know Blade and Soul was F2P in China, installed it yesterday. I managed to get to 19 without understanding a single word, quest, spells, UI. Game is fun, makes wish even more that it was released in English. I like it better than TERA so far.

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    My expectations for the game are not that high to be honest, but $100 is nothing, especially since it's for something that's likely to be different than the WoW clones we have gotten in the last 8 years. Hopefully, I get a decent game out of it...at worse it fails to launch and I lose the...

    I've always preferred limited set of useable skills from a large pool of skills than being able to use everything all the time. Mind you here that I am talking about "Combat Skills" specifically, I don't really mind if I have let's say 8-12 combat skills, and another unlimited amount of...

    The hero packs are usually decent value but buying a single hero or costume is somewhat expensive. I still love having bought the ultimate pack at the beginning. I also bought the new pack. F2P games are damn expensive. I enjoy leveling the heroes to 30 or so. With the new xp bonus for...

    It still amazes me that people still seem somewhat surprised about the WOW quest based progression. People have been saying it's like that forever...even people like me that totally love the game have said it's a WOW clone with action combat.

    Why did Rift fail?

    I wouldn't say Rift failed exactly, but it certainly wasn't as big success. To me the game failed to have a "killer" feature, it was just an extremely well done average at everything game. I prefer a game that has a few memorable features, and a few bad ones than something that is just...

    I know I'm in the minority here, but I found TERA's combat fairly boring. The only time it was fun was when doing BAMs, and I attribute more to the challenge BAMs represented than actual combat mechanics. Even those became a boring routine after a while with no danger except making a mistake out...

    I love this show, it might not be the greatest show ever made...but fuck it if it's not the show that understands it's audience the most and just give them what they want. At the pace they are introducing shit, they are gonna run out of stuff to before the season ends.
