Thought about it, going to a show saturday and watching TI4 the rest of the weekend though.

Me and my friends played Nosgoth for a while a month or two ago but kinda fizzled out on it partially because there are a ton of great f2p games out and partially because we will never escape DotA's grasp. What part of the game did you work on, Axxle?

Anatole Kuragin · Post Post #1081 (isolation #3) » Wed Jul 23, 2014 4:15 am

Deus Ex (original) and Deus Ex: Human Revolution are both awesome, in my opinion. Deus Ex is a classic.

So I love super complex games and have always been curious about KSP - but how much of the game is experimenting with weird stuff and how much is just copying builds from guides and stuff?

Anatole Kuragin · Post Post #1166 (isolation #5) » Fri Aug 15, 2014 3:04 am

Fallout 2 is my default recommendation, but 1 is fantastic too. 3 is good but very different and doesn't have the same soul as the first two.

Anatole Kuragin · Post Post #1167 (isolation #6) » Fri Aug 15, 2014 3:05 am

New Vegas is good too - I wouldn't fuck with the spin-off games aside from that.

Anatole Kuragin · Post Post #1171 (isolation #7) » Fri Aug 15, 2014 6:20 am

If it's coming in the near future it may be a bad sign they're not showing the game though.

Anatole Kuragin · Post Post #1190 (isolation #8) » Mon Aug 18, 2014 4:06 am

I'd be interested in checking out and possibly contributing to some streaming action on DotA2 or Rogue Legacy or something.

Anatole Kuragin · Post Post #1195 (isolation #9) » Tue Aug 19, 2014 5:02 pm

That game looks insane.

Anatole Kuragin · Wed Aug 20, 2014 10:47 am

There are probably some pretty good beginner's guides on ck2wiki - if you let that walk you through a game for a while you'll get a pretty good understanding of the different systems.

If you really like the combat in X-com then you will really like it. It spaces out story/science progress and stuff for the sake of having more battles. For that reason I didn't really dig it because I prefer the strategic scale stuff.

Destiny has been a bit of a letdown from what I've heard

literally every overhyped triple AAA game in the past 5-10 years, your point?

I'm going to assume you didn't actually mean literally because there have been plenty of "overhyped" games in the past 5-10 years that were at least a solid buy at $60 and delivered on what they promised (if not the promise built up by communities/fanboys).

It seems like there was a serious issue with the communication of what Destiny was described as being before it came out and what it actually ended up being. That, combined with the pseudo-embargo on reviews until after launch kinda rubs me the wrong way.

Not sure if i should play with a gamepad though

I'm playing with an xbox 360 controller on PC and it's working really well.

HotS looks like it could replace my get drunk and fuck around mobas (strife, smite, league, etc.) but it just doesn't seem to have that depth required to be able to put thousands of hours in. Looks fun though

Anatole Kuragin · Post Post #1323 (isolation #18) » Thu Oct 09, 2014 2:53 am

Yeah, if it's part of a power struggle the game seems to treat that as an isolated incident sometimes and the orc will come back.

Anatole Kuragin · Fri Oct 17, 2014 10:33 am

Anyone playing Endless Legend? Signed up for a month of IGN prime to get a key, which worked.

It seems pretty fun and I like that the different factions/races are all very different but it feels unpolished.

Has anyone checked out Hex TCG? It was kickstarted last year and just entered open beta. It was designed by people who worked on WoW trading card game and some others. It's a lot closer to MTG than hearthstone with emphasis on drafting. Not much in the way of playing against AI.

Anatole Kuragin · Tue Dec 02, 2014 10:47 am

guys, if yall go to ubisoft they have a BOGO free sale, and tropico 5 is currently $14. you can buy it and get watchdogs, south park, or black flag (or some other games) for free

Bummer. It's unfortunately a reality with mobos that they can ship DOA. I've had that happen on a few ASUS boards that otherwise performed excellently and I've got an Asrock in my PC at home that I never had trouble with. Is Newegg replacing it?

It blows my mind that Fata1ity has all these licensed computer components now - all I can associate him with is "Don't eat like a noob, eat Gamer Fuel!"
