There's really no reason to grind that out, though. Deck construction is limited by your access to cards from packs/crafting anyway. Play arena until you decide to craft the cards for a constructed deck. If you still need any basic cards for that deck, just grind that specific class to 10...

TLDR; Suppression is much less effective in BF4, especially when using non-LMG weapons.

I don't know if "smooth" is the word, but it's definitely been very playable, and the game beneath is really fun. After the first night, I've not had any crashes except on Shanghai. I've yet to complete a round there. Dude, get in cover. BF is deadly. You should never expose yourself to an...

It's BF3, with three main differences: - Better maps - Cool terrain destruction - More crashes

I'm having a blast *shrug* Morsakin, on carbines. You stated the ACW or the SG553 are the best. Looking at symthic, it seems as though the AK-5C has tremendously lower spread as well as significantly higher muzzle velocity. The downside of course being the low RPM. Playing on HC servers, I...

Redesigning would have been a disaster. It would be even worse PR, and they would lose the early installed base war even harder.

Uhm, all new games are the same price to download as hard copies. Otherwise they would put brick and mortar stores out of business.

Thanks, Morsakin, great post. On the U100, which is the only gun I've used extensively at this point - I have two complaints. The low RPM makes it seem really weak in close quarter engagements, and the lowish mag size doesn't let me spam to suppress when necessary. It sure is accurate on full...

Yeah, but slamming opposing products in commercials is illegal in a lot of countries. They can't say "We do 60/1080, while XBone only does 60/720!". That pic will be retweeted a ton, and the retweets will add the context. That way they are saying it without saying it. Pretty elegant solution.

They're not going to do anything about it at this point. For one thing, it's too late to include it for launch. But much more important is the clue dropped in the original article - They want you to use Sony's subscription based music service, and most likely a movie service coming up. That's...

The "When an opponent plays a spell at a minion, summon a 1/3 as the new target" secret is super strong. Saves your big guys, steals his buff spells, messes up his combat math. Targeted spells are less numerous than creatures and most decks generally don't run fodder spells that can be used...

Queue function was patched out for launch due to issues, it will be back in. I read something to that effect yesterday. I also crash a lot. The crashing appears to be map specific, or at least greatly increased chance of crashing on certain maps. Shanghai, I crash every 10 minutes or more...

The lack of media functionality is fucking ridiculous. It doesn't concern me directly anymore, since I use an Apple TV for that now, but I used my PS3 as a media center for years. Way to drop the ball. XBone just took a 5pp expected market share jump.

I think you mean subjective.

Sniping is always perceived as the "easiest way to play". While that may be true when it comes to minimizing deaths, and to some extent K/D, that's just because you're spending 90% of your time out of position doing jack shit. It's probably the hardest infantry role to have an impact with. It...

...it's relevant because we're discussing launch line-ups? Dude, I know you're not the sharpest tool in the shed, but try to keep up.

You realize The Last of Us came in the final year of a 7 year console life cycle, right? Halo is the only game on your PS2/Xbox launch list that was worth buying a new console for, and no one knew it would be as good as it was. It was a game developed by a no-name studio in a genre that no...

Yes, but aside from Halo, none of those are stand-out titles. The new consoles offer almost exactly the same. EA/2K Sports updates? Check. Fighter updates? Check, though not as many, since fighters aren't as popular anymore. FPS? Check, this is much bigger today, so we get 3 big name launch...

Just think of arena as sealed, rather than draft. It's much more similar to that, given that there is no interaction with other players during the "draft", and there's a lot more RNG involved. I would love to see a more MTG-like draft too, but at least the format they have chosen allows you...

While I completely agree with you that the launch lineup sucks, those are mostly pretty bad too. I can't speak to DC since I didn't own that, but both PS2 and Xbox are basically: EA Sports game updates Fighter game updates An FPS A forgettable racing game or two Some remakes Lots of...

The only things on that list I am remotely interested in are FIFA and AC. Both are cross generation, and AC I would usually not buy until it hits half price. XBone just as bad, with the possible exception of Forza. #botchedlaunches

I would never draft it, unless the other two cards were absolute garbage. Arena is slow, so card advantage trumps tempo. For a constructed deck, where your opponent is much more likely to throw out a massive game winning creature that druid can't otherwise deal with, it can be worth including...

Apparently I've become the worst Battlefield player in the world in the two years since BF3, even though I was pretty decent then. Jesus christ I was sucking tonight.

Good point!

Well, if the only thing on your board and hand is Deathwing on turn 3, you probably lose the game if the opponent has a counter. There's the 2/3 neutral snake that kills anything it touches, as well as a number of class spells (Hex, Poly, SWD, Sap, Execute, Naturalize, Equality, Deadly Shot...

I'm not sure anyone knows at this point. Neither company is rushing to tell you how awesome their boxes will be at playing your pirated movies, for obvious reasons. For legal content, both consoles will probably run Netflix (they did last gen) and similar apps. I doubt any of the platforms will...

Comparing cards with hero abilities is dodgy, since cards aren't repeatable. You wouldn't play a spell that was 2 mana, deal 1 damage and nothing else, but it's a great hero ability. (Also, PWS is overpowered) Compare card vs card instead. Sinzar: 9 wins is the maximum. You keep going...

Now I'm thinking you're just confused. I can't think of a single MTG card that technically heals a creature. You can regenerate it if it would die, you can increase its toughness, you can add damage prevention shields, it will automatically heal to full at the end of each turn, but you can't...

"Restore X health" effects are heals. They heal damage, thus raising current health, but not beyond max health. Example: Priest class ability. "+X health" effects are buffs. They increase max health (and add an equivalent amount of current health), but do not heal damage. Example: Power Word...

Is that taken under the same conditions? The difference is ridiculously large, much larger than any of the other comparisons show.

I decided to blow ?18 on 15 packs last night because why not. I got one legendary and like 3-4 epics. Even with the 10+ packs I've won from arena and gold, I'm not even close to having all the common cards I need to build a decent deck, not to mention the rares, epics and legendaries...

I liked this gif from that thread:

Thanks, that's helpful.

I don't know where you live, but in Norway I paid NOK 500 for GTA5 for PS3 in a physical store. If I was to buy Arkham Origins on Steam right now, that would be ?60 = NOK 489. There used to be a discrepancy, but it seems to be wiped out now. For the next generation it seems that all the games...

I purchased my PS3 for like $700 6 years ago, and I just played the biggest game of this generation on it a few weeks ago. The graphics were fairly good and it never dropped to unplayable frame rates. Could I have done the same with a PC from 2007? Probably not. I've upgraded my PC twice since...

Pretty sure that vast majority of that is just butthurt nerd conspiracy theories.

First off, what MTG doesn't offer, but Hearthstone does: - Grinding games as an avenue to building your collection. Pay cash or go home. - Game speed. MTG is slower paced, since every action allows for a reaction. - A 2013-quality UI and animations. What MTG offers that Hearthstone...

Yeah, I'm feeling isolated after just a few nights of playing this. The game is still fun, but the complete lack of communication and community features is getting to me. Aside from the chat wheel clicks, there's no indication you are playing actual people. There is no league table, no chat, no...

I think it levels just as fast. You get 100g when you beat all the expert AI once, though.
