That looks like loving garbage. Anime ruins everything.

Me too, but I'm glad at least they have the quality guidelines in place that killed it. They should have just made it in-house, I'd like to see a Blizzard take on stealth action (I just want more stealth action games).

Speaking of them, I tried watching a Heroes of the Storm tournament to see what was up with their 2.0 update and it seemed kind of... slow? Team fights lasted three times longer than they really should have, and a lot of times they would just walk away without heroes dying. I don't know if I like the huge health pools and having walls you can safely hide behind, but I do like the lack of last hitting and the more flexible talent builds.

I think longer battles where you can more easily manage and keep track of HP instead of being obliterated before you know what happened is part of the appeal? Phasing out building up items and builds and that whole system is another thing that keeps it extremely accessible. I don't have much of an opinion on HOTStorm but adding lootboxes are a proven Good Thing™ and dynamics of each map playing so differently is a nice change of pace.

MOBAs let you be a terrible human being to people on and off your team at the same time for 40 minutes and no one is allowed to leave. It's truly amazing.

In my limited time with MOBAs, the playerbase has categorically been the most unpleasant to be around. I think everything about Dota is kind of engineered to bring out the worst traits in people and it shows. Even the occassional HotS goon group has had 1 or 2 really disagreeable people who start getting emotional and lashing out because their beautiful Tracer is getting hurt by the big mean Diablo. It's pathetic.

The first I kinda agree, but the 2nd sounds you're poo-pooing anyone being invested in a game made to be competitive. People will be emotional whether it's CSGO, Smash Brothers, or whatever else if they're going in to win it.

I'm watching this and good stuff, as usual. How is The Surge? It came out then I haven't heard much of anything about it but I haven't actively looked for anything about it. Usually if a game is good I'll eventually hear about it somewhere in Games, like Prey. I went from it barely registering on my radar to instant buy after seeing people gushing about it. Was not disappointed either.

It's okay. Solid 6.5 Dark Souls clone. It feels really good, graphics are okay,combat system is fleshed out and well realized. They pretty much failed to make the game actually compelling or interesting or not have the back half really show the limits of their time in terms of level design or keeping up enemy variety.

Don't buy at full price.

Huh, sounds like the original Prey 2 would have had a neat little plot twist.

Basically every time you die and respawn at your safehouse, you're actually an unwitting clone of the main character, not the same dude brought back to life. Somehow it relates to the protag from the first Prey, not sure how. The game ends with you escaping back to earth, settling down, growing old and passing away peacefully. Then you "spawn" again in that same safehouse.

So it was almost SOMA.
