I definitely have open world burnout and have for a long time. I basically don't touch anything Ubisoft makes anymore. But if it's a design choice that makes sense for the game, it can work. I hope the industry is growing out of the idea that bigger is better. I still prefer the hub-based levels...

I used to play lots of games. Now I just play Dota.

I found the finals extremely boring, and also just frustrating (VG drafted basically the same lineup three games in a row, failing each time). I've heard some dismiss this kind of talk as people who didn't want an all Chinese final, which is just simply not true. LGD and DK were both Chinese...

It's basically just like any other online community. I'm not gonna pretend the game is some kind of safe haven, but it's not the cesspool others make it out to be either. I think you just need to get over the newbie hump. Once you're playing with people who have put in a lot of time in the game...

https://twitter.com/Cyborgmatt/status/475981656323809280 Glad they apparently weren't hurt. I'm a fan of SUNSfan's lighthearted casting and DC's work in general. Can't say I know much about Sajadene, but no one deserves this shit. Also: Youtube comments are Youtube comments, I see. I don't...

There were some good moments in this episode, but overall I felt it was really weak (though still better than episode 2). I don't feel bad at all about calling out the episode for being too damn short, and some sections just feel too full of filler (Butcher's shop, mayor's office). A short...

Ruh roh. The only appropriate reaction, in my mind:

After being massively disappointed in episode two, I kind of loved the third one. It actually felt like there was a lot of choice, which was sorely lacking in episode two. Aside from that, there were many other nice touches: -"Gren will not remember this" -That ending. And yeah, I had Bigby...

Loved it. Dem feels during Dendi's part. I really respect the movie for not portraying the doubtful family members' (hyhy's father, aunt, and mother; Fear's mother) in a negative light. Fear's mother is simply practical. hyhy's father just wants his son to have a better life. On a more...

I went into Dota 2 having never played an ARTS/whatever you guys want to call it before. Worked out fine for me. I played bot games with friends for a long time before finally playing my first "real" game (which I believe I solo queued). -Is it a game that has a lot of nuance and complexity...

An actor known mostly for his roles as the male lead in teen-oriented romance movies was cast in the role as the villain in an upcoming comic book movie. Fans of the source material generally scoffed at the choice of him in the role. He was the pretty boy who gets the girl, not some sinister...

I'm pretty sure he'd use this mantra.. [http://hydra-media.cursecdn.com/dota2.gamepedia.com/7/70/Anti_respawn_07.mp3]

Lots of problems you're having here just stem from a lack of understanding of Dota mechanics, which I admit are often not well-explained by the game. Thankfully, the community has a bevy of info out there if you're willing to learn. For example, tower aggro: Gold loss on death is a...

Disappointing. As a narrative experience, it's good. But it's very light on the puzzley/detectivey/super-important-decision-makingey stuff, at least compared to the first episode. It's also very short (not rushing, I completed it in about an hour). And considering the four month wait, I'm pretty...

Eh. Not a fan at all about how this has been handled. It's convinced me to never again buy a Tell Tale game until all episodes are out. That said, I still have little doubt the rest of The Wolf Among Us will be great.
