    DOTA 2

    Yeah lots of good points, overall though it's all relative and will depend on how the game is going, what the lanes are, what is your skill, what's your lane partner's skill, what are your opponent's skills, what are the risks of random aspects of your attack playing against you, how effective a...

    Origins of Malu

    Got a key, can't tell what the fuck the game is about based on their website, beta starts march 30th so we'll see I guess, I don't expect much when they don't even have a video up of the game before they start beta.

    Path of Exile

    Well if you run into a massive deadend in docks, you just TP out and remake one. There isn't really a need to backtrack, but you need to use TPs and while they're cheap it's still something you're not gonna gain as a result. Other issue is it can be deadly, even when super geared. LMP rare dogs...

    Path of Exile

    Yeah or just keep running, but avoiding him is generally the best course of action, depending on your build and gear at that point though you can just kill him if you happen to run into him. It's not often but it does happen even when hugging south west wall, like 1/30 clears or whatever. I know...

    Path of Exile

    Really the only thing to make a successful HC char is to build with a lot of health. You should have 200%health by 70(so 87-90points or so), in my opinion. You can do with less but that's just gonna be riskier, and that's even more of an issue on a first char without a bunch of health gear lying...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    This is still fairly early beta though, which tends to have a NDA regardless, and their development is messy since they had an entire game but have to rework it system by system. We'll see how long they keep a NDA, but having a NDA months before release isn't really a bad thing nor does it mean...

    Animated movies that surprised you

    Oh two anime movies that I had forgotten and were pretty nice too, Ninja Scroll (Juubee Ninpuuchou). Good ninja action movie from back when I started watching anime. Second was Jin Roh.

    DOTA 2

    Yeah read the notes, interesting changes, guess that means Drow in -cm soonish in dota2. Tranquil nerf seems fine, it's a fairly big nerf but the boots are still good because it doesn't ruin their main purpose, just force you to be more thoughtful about how you use them. Living Armor change I...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Could be too, I guess it doesn't qualify as a sequel since they didn't make dota, I wish them good luck with that though cause they're also going against Valve on that front, and Valve has set the bar pretty high. And Riot has the "blizzard" market too for now so they'll have to work hard if...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Yeah sounds about right, and probably the least interesting announcement of the year, even though who knows, someone might be able to top it, but unlikely.

    Rift: Planes of Telara

    Answer is no, regardless. Your game has already launched a long time ago and everyone who wanted to check it out did and probably won't bother, even if you were to offer free months(which you'd need to do anyway). Plus you'd kill your remaining playerbase so even if you got a decent bunch of new...

    Monster Hunter Series

    Ah yes there's the older Zelda and a Castlevania too, didn't see that in the list I checked for some reason. I guess it might be worth buying maybe. I'll wait a bit and check reviews/videos of the 3DS version first though, see if there's any framerate issue or whatever else. Edit: Nvm Google...

    Monster Hunter Series

    Looking at the list on the Nintendo website, I see Fire Emblem, Kid Icarus(did that happen to be any good though?), Tales of the Abyss remake, Shinobi(new one? old one?), Cave Story 3D(heard good things about that) and Etrian Oddysey 4. And Pokemon but I'm not into Pokemon at all so don't really...

    Really? Haven't really noticed any super good games but I haven't really looked either.

    Monster Hunter Series

    Yeah I didn't buy a 3DS either, didn't play my DS that much so figured it was pointless and it kinda is, plus I don't know about playing this on a handheld, seems kinda meh. Anyway hate the exclusivity.

    Monster Hunter Series

    Ugh, how I wish it wasn't on the fucking new Wii. I really don't want to buy one until price tag drops because of the PS4 release or something similar. Shit I wouldn't even mind if it was on the old wii since I have one of these somewhere in my basement.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Oh I guess that kinda works too. But then he's just saying the same thing that was said before, so not sure why it matters, we all understand NDAs are often to hide shitty games.

    Path of Exile

    Jewelry is always going to show much lower req level on it because of the mechanics of ilvl and req level. On any given item, you have 2 things checked to determine required level. First is the base item, basically what the white version has for req. For weapons and armor there's better and...

    Animated movies that surprised you

    Original Berserk series was 25episodes. For the new one I'd just check any torrent site really or tokyotoshokan specifically for anime related stuff. Search for Berserk 2012 or Golden Age Arc or something like that, big files since they're movies.

    Kick-Ass 2 trailer

    Really? Thought some of his movies after his 90s golden age were pretty good, Truman Show(technically still 90s, but very much near the end) and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind are pretty awesome movies. Also liked I love you Phillip Morris whenever I caught it on TV, even though it wasn't...

    StarCraft 2

    Ultras with self rez and lifeleech are basically invincible, build 10 or so and just A move the map. You get them pretty late however. Roaches with any upgrades are apparently stupid, I knew about the slow but the splitting one is also stupid it seems? Kerrigan alone is pretty dumb though, with...

    StarCraft 2

    Don't think that's what phoenix was saying, simply replying to the guy before who said do achieves when we were talking about the bad story. Achievements should in no way replace anything ever, they're ok to have because as you said they take little dev time and do add some "content" kinda, but...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    Does it matter if he says he has a reliable source or not? You can come back and quote him when he's wrong, or he can quote himself in a few months if he's right, doesn't affect anything either way regardless. Until they actually show something that looks good and might contradict what Utnayan...

    StarCraft 2

    Well for example the Zeratul missions would make sense if you played Protoss a few hours later and learned exactly what's going on and shit. I mean a lot of the other stuff you listed also kinda happens in WC3 at various points. Now my memories of WC3 is certainly a bit foggy but iirc at the...

    StarCraft 2

    I blame their decisions to roll the stories into 3 games. So basically they had little to tell, and they had to tell it in full games instead of 1/3 of the game. So it drags on and it goes full retard a few times. It's obvious from WoL that the big important shit is going to be at the very end...

    Path of Exile

    Cyclone is weird. I wanted to make a new char based on it but I don't like it. I didn't expect D3 WW cause I knew that was unlikely to happen, so really I expected something close to D2 WW. The issue is unlike D2 WW, the aoe is smaller and/or the min distance is bigger in PoE, so you basically...

    Animated movies that surprised you

    Nope not finished yet. They're redoing the anime though, via movies. They're up to 3 OVA movies or so I think now? Covers about all of the old series, but with obviously much higher quality animation. They plan on releasing more too after to catch up with the manga, but they'll have to stop...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    It's not about the repercussions but Draegan pointed out before he'd like to keep the forum NDA compliant so devs are at least tempted to come talk about their games and what not like FoH back in the days. And Archeage isn't under NDA anymore I believe?

    StarCraft 2

    Oh yeah if you want to use roaches and not make them broken the corpser one is probably more fun. I just didn't bother using them but wasn't planning to anyway. Zerglings and Ultras all the way baby.

    There's bugs with the patch. One when loading into docks, another when using 2H sword+cyclone. Possibly something else.

    StarCraft 2

    Vile Roach when you get the evolution mission. It makes it so all their attacks slows the enemy by 75%, both movement AND attackspeed. The attackspeed slow completely trivializes everything. I didn't bother making roaches cause they were too retarded. Note that in the last few missions I had...

    Path of Exile

    It's somewhat similar to TL2, but more complex, you get to roll the stats instead of just buying the maps on a vendor, at the same time they're random drops so you can run out of maps if you're not careful on how you roll them. The properties are also more complex and a rare map will have a ton...

    StarCraft 2

    Game was pretty nice but the upgrades you get completely trivialize the game at times. The Roach upgrade is stupidly OP, being able to spawn 2drones at a time lets you beat brutal "normal" maps easily even if you suck like me since you can build a full base quickly and spam defenses even when...

    Path of Exile

    Well immunity to chaos resist comes with a direct benefit of being able to run blood rage for free, which is 15%cast/attackspeed via frenzy charges(potentially more if you were to take the nodes or the reward). It's also good in general. Freezing and Stuns aren't too much of an issue either...
