If your wizard level ticket acquisition skills are still intact, I'd be there in a second. We had a great run. Really enjoyed TI's in Seattle!

Fan support will always have a pure motivation edge. It is not a numbers game when its a passion project. Modders really do make games greater. Some of Valve's biggest wins came off the back of the Quake mod community members they hired. Modes like Runequake, and Runes + CTF, Threewave...

HDZ remake is only valid if the Multiplayer Co-op is a super compelling game. Which it could be. If its giant robot monsters and limited loadouts per player, and synergistic gameplay where things done together - or at certain timings have magnifying effects (more than combinations in the base...

I wasn't interested at the price point for the Scuf, But I desparately want a PS5 controller with paddles. The Steam controller had a few ahead of its time features, and I just can't play certain games without paddles now after years of muscle memory.

Walked in to Bestbuy and snagged one of these. I haven't been in the Playstation ecosystem for a long time, and barely made an account. If this was you, how would you purchase or subscribe to Plus/Now whatever the hell the options are to access at least ps4 titles of note? Thanks for any...

The Himalayas are on another level of scale. Here's a few quick links to scan through to get a sense. Mt. Rainer is the 3rd most prominent summit in the U.S. since it was linked previously. Mountains and their ranges create a perception problem even standing in front of them. Prominence...

Don't forget, these are the bad motherfuckers who set the routes. They ain't getting guided. Documentary is incredible. Nothing in the States compares to the altitude of the 14 he climbed. Rainer is a real climb - but its 14,411′ - highest in the PNW. Most human bodies cannot even begin to...

I think the number of hobby PC gamers that will tolerate these insane "current" gen prices are not that significant. If a machine blows up - or its chugging - sure people will buy. Most PC gamers aren't hardware enthusiasts. They are actual game enthusiasts. There are a ton of people praying...

Gamepass recreates some aspects of the friday night game rental -> sunday return at the local video store from the 80's and 90's. In that way I think it is guaranteed to win, if there is enough shelf choice any given night, people will gladly rent 1 game 3 weekends a month. Gamepass is more...

The Dota shuffle this year is more interesting than most. I definitely want to watch the Cr1t/Jerax 4/5 combo.

Dota provides.

What some fucking plays. The base breaking Zip/Jump Skewer/RP to Sven Cleave combination was fucking baller.

This old Misery team? He's been on so many. I agree, a team always plays most fearless, loose, and in their wheelhouse. The thing I enjoy about Spirit so much is that they patiently move around the map, and when there is an opening to go they don't worry they just go. The Disrupter /...

Watching Spirit has been very fun, every player is showcasing the heroes they are playing. Their team fearlessness is obvious. It will be curious to see who has the final day mental game between the remaining teams.

Also - Lover / Rival are positional buffs in the game. Lover's vengeance is +dmg against enemies that have damaged the partner. Rival I think increases chance to "crit". Outdoing the other. Its all very opt in. You can completely power game it or roleplay it. I understand not playing it...

Not to get caught in a your game sucks comparision, here are a few details I don't think have been expressed. League champions are designed for a role, and constrained to it. This limits skill design, but speeds up learning. The gameplay is an on screen skill shot fest, where small pokes and...

The destruction of Hobby PC gaming in the crypto pandemic has got to be one of the most bummer things. Those 3080ti prices are pretty fucking silly.

9 finished biomes and systems. The ocean needs to shine, fishing from the boat, other tasks etc. A toggle that spawns only 1 shrine per boss in the world, to demand extreme exploration. (With a restriction on the spawn radius of the discovery plates too from the boss) a few buddies. My epic...

I have played the content that exists to the end with 2 others. Game was fantastic, and if the developers said they were retiring in 2 months, I actually would be totally cool with the price of entry for the social experience with my friends. We each tolerated certain systems in the game...

I am a sucker for this style of game. Here's a breakdown some of the systems I've seen. 1. Cards that can be place on the loop are the deck aspect of the game. There are 4 categories, and a max of total cards. This aspect of the game becomes more robust as you build structures between...

Aim your crosshair at the edge you want to snap to - aim at the edge of the wall, floor tile, the center beam of the roof tiles. etc.

To dispose of unwanted items and old shit, I like the watery grave option. I sail out to open ocean, and ceremoniously chuck it.

3/2 Smelter/Kiln Full stacks of wood, and ore both consumed. Cart holds all the mats. Drive by smelting is the only way. The cart and ships are both essential tools for mining.

Helldivers - I don't think mentioned. Is a really good squad dual stick shooter for 4.

That was a massive success. Just massive. The fact it failed how it failed. They got data on every system. And that flip maneouver seemed so aggressive, was amazing to watch it right itself, just not enough time to slow the fall. Edit: I'm guessing the rocket engine shutoffs are...

Friend of mine down the street got heavy into woodworking in the last 5 years, and he could afford any tool. He made a rule. If he couldn't use it well, and didn't have an absolutely obvious use for it in his current skill level of learning he'd wait to buy. I thought that was a really good...

I watch through liquiddota, most of the time. Their websight blocked all adds to me and never loaded chat, perfect. But today for the first time, I got sets of 15-30 second adds that basically told me to get the full experience I needed to go to twitch.tv. Purple background walls of text...

You're just in the same boat as everyone, the ranks are compressed - if you were above the median you're squished down. As time goes on, it does take more skills to just hold rank. Just keep playing, if you're like three ranks displaced ut, you can just solo carry your way out. Don't let bad...

By the total queue numbers, the game is as big as ever. The MMR compression to let the FTP players come in and play against noobs really jammed up everyone. I am consistent C3 player prior to the change, but at C1div2 - the games were filled with Grand Champs for months. The initial UI was...

I agree, but its more about the fact that the lowest common denominator to mainstream games is upgraded (the consoles) so the tier 1 gaming experience can be pushed by actual hardware like in Cyberpunk or Flightsim.

Every single video game system is seeing a fidelity/performance upgrade. I think that has a lot to do with it. My 970, is so far behind more modern cards, with that said it will play 99% of anything more than well enough since its competing with ps4's and xbox in most cases, its more powerful...

One aspect I LIKE about EA is how it leverages a communities' most insane members. Early Access combined with community engagement guarantees that any great game idea gets playtested like crazy by the autists. Hades is an incredible game that I didn't buy till launch. But it is clear that...

Given the weird state of the world, the pass might be extended months in the fall.

I found this to be a great small experience in general. I think this game was a very clever twist on Xcom's classic gameplay, and took an unfavorable situation in the main game and turned it into the bread and butter of what Chimera Squad is. In the mainline gameplay, breaching or being...

Its delusion to think that Blizzard could have made Dota themselves. Additionally they might not have gotten all the money, but had they worked with Icefrog they would be getting plenty of the money. They would not give up the control required to make a hardcore game like dota. It has design...

What a loss.

I agree, its never going back. And for the most part it is better, this kind of sales means we get more games. If there is a full on game every few years on PC, shit I'll take that over never seeing one. It is nice to see the game get so much popularity, it bodes well for experiments and...

I am a long time monster hunter fan, its literally the only reason I owned handhelds in the last 20 years. I realize this is 210 pages late in some sense. I skipped MH:W because a buddy of mine who I enjoyed the series with the mostly said it was too easy, didn't keep his attention. Knowing...

Will the steam store have a 60 dollar bundle for the base game + iceborne? I've just been waiting for the combination before I buy, can' seem to find it listed on the store.

This be a bigger historical flop than Waterworld? I'm not a film guy but is Kevin Costner like having a champagne party over this thing?
