Blizzard games are too far up their own rear end.

if hearthstone was a physical game and wasn't made by blizzard it would be considered on the level of exploiting kittens

It is good, and all about a murder investigation. Been meaning to! Kashuno posted:LA Noire? Significantly flawed, but owns. Kashuno posted:Cole was p bad. Also if you play it without it being on black and white mode you're a bad person The true protagonist was Rusty.  Also correct wrt black and white.

hearthstone is very similar to exploding kittens, CAH, and Dead of Winter in being games that somehow trick people into thinking they're good games

if you want a game similar to CAH but its actually good and also free try 1000 blank index cards if you don't have creative players you can spend money and there are about half dozen games that fill the same niche as CAH but are actually good games

Hearthstone and HotS, if they used all new original characters, would be immediately forgotten in a sea of other CCGs and MOBAs.

I had a blast with CAH the first time I played it with friends. Every time after that has been joyless and calculating. Every card going for shock humor has completely killed my ability to laugh at the game, because it's all entirely predictable after the first go around. The huge number of wordy cards that are kind of funny in and of themselves but completely fail to fit into the prompts at all definitely don't help matters--there's tons of times where someone will just pitch their hand because it's full of cards they'll never be able to use.

PBS Newshour posted:hearthstone is very similar to exploding kittens, CAH, and Dead of Winter in being games that somehow trick people into thinking they're good games Man. I know where you are coming from with these, but I don't know that I agree with what you are putting together. The problem with exploding kittens is it is pure random, there is no appreciable skill involved. Hearthstone definitely isn't the best CCG on the block by any means, not even close. But it isn't a bad game and it does have a skill component. And CAH is certainly not the best party game on the block, but it is a million times better than apples to apples which it seemingly ripped off and improved on, and it is the only "board" game I've gotten my step dad to play in years and he is SUPER excited about it, so it gets mad props for that from me. But yes, I'd rather be playing Dixit or something.

I wouldn't think it would be but oddly enough Spyfall is working as a pretty great replacement for CAH for my friends who used to only ever want to play that.

But it isn't a bad game and it does have a skill component. The games remind me of each other because all 4 kinda fit this sort of "gateway games" niche where people think "oh wow this is something i never seen before" and it has existed for a long time and in better forms Like I think Secert Hitler is probably going to end up being the same, because its just a slightly crappier resistance, but I don't think its going to be a "bad" game like these 4.

Kashuno posted:Maybe it's just the new stuff? Nah the new stuff is great. Have you played D3 since they completely overhauled the game? Its very fun. Really though you come across as one of those people who hate on blizzard because Bli$$ard, as evidenced by you suggesting PoE is actually better than D3. Asiina posted:Hearthstone and HotS, if they used all new original characters, would be immediately forgotten in a sea of other CCGs and MOBAs. Nah. Both games provide something that other games in the genre generally don't. Sure Blizzard brings in an automatic audience because people are familiar with their games and characters, but if the games weren't good they wouldn't be successful. There really aren't very many successful CCGs out there, and Hearthstone definitely fills a different niche than MTG. Heroes of the Storm is similar. It is a more accessible game than Dota 2 or LoL, and the gameplay is very fun and exciting. If the exact same game was released by another publisher, and without Blizzard IP then I agree it probably would be less popular than it is, but that doesn't take away from the fact that it is a well designed game that brings innovative ideas to what is otherwise a pretty standardized genere. Ultimately it isn't the fact that the characters are not original that makes the games popular, but the fact that people trust Blizzard to make good fun games, so if your point was "If these were not Blizzard games...." I might say you are not completely wrong, but you attributing the games success to lore is actually wrong. Look at Overwatch for example. All new IP but just as hyped as any other Blizzard game.

Capps, you should post that punching up article again. It made me agree with your position wrt CAH last time this discussion was had. Maybe others will see where you are coming from.
