the new flamethrower for tf2 is op as hell.

got behind a group in a pug and absolutely annihilated them with good consecutive hits.

needs a little bit of a tone down.

ah EA, I do sometimes wonder if it's intentional for them to end franchises or if they're just incompetent.

Was this how Meet your Match was like for casual server wait times?


Doing a comparison, Overwatch took about 2 minutes to find a QP game then I got 2 qp games in that took me about a total of 16 minutes to play.

So 18 min for overwatch, lets see how the new TF2 Update stacks.

this is worse iirc.

playing right now is a bad idea, casuals filled with pyros and wait times are long.

probably cause all the servers are full. lol

EA: "We're making major changes to Viceral's Star Wars game in line with "fundamental shifts" in the market."

Translation: In-game gambling, gut the story, turn into a Destiny clone, leach that game for years unless it sells less than 100 million copies, in which case it's an absolute failure and can never be redeemed.

smh

No idea. I don't play Square Enix games, with the exception of Deus Ex: Human Revolution.

I never 100% completed it, but I did finish the main story and much of the side content.

What I loved most of all from that game was exploring the world. It had some of my favorite locations in any RPG ever.

It sucks we never got a PC port. :/

I thought the game as a whole was fantastic, although I did feel a bit let down by the story in the end. Specially with Vaan. The boy's cute, but he needed more development.

This nostalgic talk reminds me I really wanna replay Okami, .hack/G.U. and Persona 4 at some point. Those were some of my favorite games ever (even if .hack/G.U. got super grindy at times and some of Persona 4's stuff probably hasn't aged well).

Very sucks indeed. :(

Still waiting for the PC port if that's ever happened, though.

The open-world place is very huge and full of interesting things. Puzzle is sadly never my strongest point.

So NeoGaf is imploding right now since the site owner got into some hot shit. NeoGaf and /v/ mods are deleting shot left and right, and a bunch of NeoGaf mods have stepped down. Mister Metokur did a stream on it, and YongYea made a video on it too.

I just started a new prison in Prison Architect with most of the difficulty options turned on, figuring I had enough of a money buffer ($400,000) and experience to be able to account for any new things I hadn't played with before.

Two in-game days in and according to my good-for-nothing accountant I'm losing $700 dollars a day because it takes $1,200 dollars to feed my staff of 23 people daily. What the hell are those people eating, caviar and strippers?

And so Neogaf falls with Gamergates name upon their lips, just like Gawker. And just like Gawker what they cannot see is that they was the author of their own downfall all along.

It's almost as if the creepy harassers of women were never part of gamergate in the first place but rather the ones trying to virtue signal their way into pants.

It's delicious and I love it.
