Pretty funny Clueless Gamer with Dinklage and Lena Headey

I honestly though that was one of the worst ones, because they all are complete garbage at games. They can't even move around. Usually you at least have that Family Ties guy around to push Conan along a bit, this was just...them breaking off pieces of the throne and looking at some shiny polygonal butt.

Yeah could be better for sure

I generally like his sidekick beside him too instead of celebs. Allows more jokes on the game and things happening

They may have done it this way because it's mp only? Who knows... or greedyness

Yea.. I called that. All the celebrity clueless gamer episodes have been pretty bad.

My loot boxes have been crap so far! I need skins!

I'm surprised they put in a pay for Loot Boxes plan in this game. Not a fan seeing that.
It gives me flashes of R6 pay to unlock grind game

However I'm reminded how glad I am that Loot Boxes aren't for unlocking characters like R6.
But they should make gold more readily available to buy things! I have like 50 gold for playing around 6 hrs

Early on rn I wish I wasn't relegated to classes people don't want to play (Medics)
I can't wait till people really start to understand this game, myself included really

Are you crazy? How do you think they intend to support the game? Would you rather have paid DLC?

Free servers, free maps, free characters. Let the whales pay for extended support.

YA I know, I wouldn't buy them! I'm not forced by any means and I'm glad characters aren't in there

I'm curious to see sales on this thing for sure. They had so much hype and people following this title.
It's such a great title and it deserves all the $$$

I just don't understand why you would complain about that. It's how and why we're getting free DLC.

If you don't want to be forced into a role, try locking in early. Sometimes people will adapt to their teammates choices. If you wait too long you're not giving people the opportunity to do that. I only wait for my teammates picks if I want to counter pick their choices. There are still instances where I'm pulled towards a deficiency in the composition.. but I think locking in early gives you more sway.

True and true

I wouldn't call it COMPLAINING, I'm mainly nitpicking on an otherwise solid title that released smoothly

I don't know how smooth the other launches were however - I saw murmurs of X1 having a hard time grouping up. I'd be curious to hear more though

BBC article on the game is now online

Is there any legit sites out there to track sales?

The mainstream gaming press grilling Blizzard on tickrate:

What a time to be alive. And not really. Especially Battle.net's sales.

I'm still having massive lag spikes. So annoying, and there seems to be no respons from blizzard about the complaints either.

VPN myself via finalnd. Getting slightly higer ping in general but no lag spiked. Fuck you blizzard, fix your goddamn routing :P

HM, I haven't had any lag issues

Also the tickrate thing is interesting. I haven't really felt tick rate killing me at all

In reply to

Since 6536 Days

Trust me, it's not fun when you get stuck twitching around, dropping inputs and dying for no apparent reason about once every 40 seconds :P

Tickrate issues are going to be most noticable in low TTK scenarios (there are a lot of them). I feel like Hanzo's house-sized arrows probably compound the issue. The netcode is definitely far from perfect. I haven't had any of Megido's more serious issues though. No rubber banding type lag or DCs or anything like that so far. I think it's been a pretty smooth launch.

I think the competition pre-season should have re-opened on day-one. We're missing a feature.

I just find it weird that connecting through a VPN solves the issue. Like...wut?

In reply to

Since 7140 Days

Yeah that sounds rough! I don't envy that Megido

I've definitely noticed tick rate in games like R6, but that's more obvious when you get dropped so easy in that game

I assume they'll up tick rate soon enough if it's really having an impact. Maybe they wanted to see how people fared first
Rainbow 6 started at just 30 too, but it was soon fixed just a few weeks in

haha... that's cute.

30 is a lot better than 20 too. 50% higher frequency.

Match making seems to have a back-fill problem right now. I've been in too many lobbies that are endlessly waiting for additional players. I hope that gets fixed. It didn't happen in the beta. I just leave those games now if I'm there for more than a few minutes.

Some of those remind me of Shadow of Colossus too

Lots of hate in comment sections everywhere

Guess I forget console users don't have the $40 option you get on PC

I generally trust Gamespot to be tough though

In reply to

For what's in the game right now, i think maybe 40 bucks is a bit high too. But it all depends on how much content and support the game gets over time.

In reply to

Since 7140 Days

I don't know, everyone's looking at the Game Mode content when they're judging price

I feel like the amount of characters and play variation warrant it, but that's just me of course

So how exactly does the "play of the game" work? Some wanker retard Torbjörn wasted his ult and his turret randomly killed ONE guy. Play of the game. I use my ult with bastion and get like a team wipe, nothing :P
