In Training posted:How did heroes of the storm do? I don't really follow MOBAs at all because they're purestrain AIDS but has that stuck around? Judging by reliable statistics data that are the number of people lurking in MOBA reddits, HotS is tailing far behind DotA2 and LoL, but still probably has something like two hundred thousand active players.

I liked Tales from the Borderlands, but it was made by Telltale and I've never played original games.

I can handle maybe 1-2 games before wanting to kill myself and this is in the ultra casual no bad vibes MOBA. Everything in these games seems elegantly designed to bring out the worst aspects of humanity.

IMO it is very fun to get some chill friends together and just relax while fighting against bots and poo poo in mobas while we talk to each other about stuff, but a lot of that fun goes away if you are playing with a person who is screaming at you the entire time moral: play multiplayer games with people you like who will not get so angry and frustrated that you aren't playing optimally that they start screaming at you. instead, try playing with people who are nice, and chill, and will not shout at you for something like that

He is still full of hope, bless him. He says investors give his team money and Koreans loved closed alpha, so maybe there is some niche market, I don't know.

I never got into MOBAs. My genres of choice with weirdly intense/cult-like communites are fighting games and Monster Hunter.

In Training posted:I don't feel bad for them because they're designing games to exploit extremely weak willed people, which is a lovely thing to do in what way? I figure the teams working on these games are likely big enough that the people doing the coding aren't necessarily the ones coming up with the ideas, just the ones that have to code them/draw them/orchestrate them. I thought it was all like publishers telling devs what to do

Lol if somebody thinks that Overwatch will be gone in 6 months, just lol. I'm not saying that we'll all love it, probably the opposite but it will be another huge Blizzard thing with big playerbase and people spending thousands of dollars on virtual outfits.

idk why but I just don't really like the character designs in overwatch Like, they aren't bad, and they're well made, and I get why people would like them, but I just don't like them. I'm not really sure how to articulate it, because I wanna say they feel generic but that's not the right word... It kinda feels like I'm looking at a dreamworks movie kinda

Lost Vikings 2 still holds up, I wish they'd port the graphically superior / voiceover enabled "Norse By Norsewest" PC version to their client. I don't wanna have to use a PSX emulator to play that I haven't played trine but I've heard the first two are good games except that they don't require as much character switching and that you can cheese a lot of levels by playing as just one of the characters (I forget which one though), and I've heard that trine 3 was just all around not a good game. I never played norse by norsewest, only the original version of 2 and lost vikings 1 as well. They are both really fun puzzle games and I hope anybody who reads this and enjoys puzzle platforming games is inspired to seek out a copy of lost vikings 1 or 2 so that they can try it for themselves, as they are fun and good games

I just really dislike the entire design of free to play games, top to bottom. Blizzard's F2P is really good, though. I haven't paid any money for any of their games and I've been enjoying Hearthstone since beta and played HotS for several months. Sure, some idiot may drop thousands just to buy all cards/heroes, but they would buy something equally stupid if the game wasn't there. Compared to stamina/crystals bullshit in match 3 mobile games, F2P in big games on PC or consoles is pretty fair.

Solo trine would probably be a bit too easy, but I had a blast playing through with friends with the limited mode on where you can't switch characters. It makes you really think about every new puzzle and how you're going to be successful with all 3 people.

I just really dislike the entire design of free to play games, top to bottom. I thought that was just how every large game dev studio worked Yeah free to play stuff can generally be pretty harmful when they actively fleece people just to do basic things, but I never got that feeling from dota 2. League, sure, since you have to unlock heroes in that and you can just pay to unlock them, and I think it had runes or whatever as well that you could pay money for?? I don't remember. but dota 2's cash shop stuff is just cosmetic I think so I don't really mind that, and it is neat that anybody can put a cosmetic mod up on the workshop to try to get people to vote for it to become an official part of the game and that they'll receive some kind of payment for it My favorite free to play game tho is still dungeon fighter online. That is a game I should play more of. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kaFZ7SACYQY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=isWjkYyTPTQ

I just don't like free to play because they're games made by a business department and not because anybody had a good idea for a fun game, which is just not interesting to me in the slightest.
