I see your point there, but what bothers me is that you need to work for the 'full experience', where with dota, the 'full experience' is right there from the get go. Find someone you like, play them, start doing randoms, get moderately good with everyone and have fun.

Even worse, because you have no characters in the…

Goodbye Phil Fish. I liked your game, but you are a pretentious, toxic, hipster piece of work. Take a cruise around the world, talk to random people in some exotic countries, make something that does not involve your ego masturbation. And most of all - fix your fucking attitude, dude.
Then you can get back you got a…

I love Neil Gaiman. I think Stardust is one of my favorite movies of all time. I love his writing and in every interview/even he's been in, seems like the nicest of people...

Dark souls- you die, you go back to the last fire and every enemy you killed prior has now respawned. I once had a power cut whilst playing ff9, my last save spot was over a disk ago - did it stop me playing, no, did it annoy, yes- oh hell yes! BUT now that I knew what to expect, I took it on the chin and planned my…

I can understand the reason you have the issue, but I think its similar to the whole "#firstworldproblems" thing... there are so many games now that, what's the harm if one day you don't get to play Shadowrun because you don't have the time to sit down and finish a mission? I mean, the most popular online games today…

Well, I disagree with you. Completely. I'm actually glad they're sticking with PnP setting-legal gear.

So... you're OK with exploiting the save system in XCOM: EU? By definition, you're using an exploit to progress in a mode that is meant to have permanent repercussions to your actions and risks. You've taken the entire meaning of that mode and removed it, and you're... OK with that? That's so lame, man.

Yes. I would be OK with that. Its only 30 minutes? There are more important things in life to get high-strung about. Shit happens.

So the game obviously enforces skill and character planning? Sounds great to me!

Nope. Coincidence.

The definition of enjoyment...should be much broader. Enjoyment isn't always relaxation, gamers can enjoy their games just like how two basketball players compete against each other and enjoy their competition.

Pro tip: if you are getting hit by a tower and you have friendly creeps around, target one and the tower will stop attacking you

Actually, there is no crowd control stuns in Dota2 that lasts more than 4 seconds. The crowd control with the maximum duration is BlackHole, at 4 seconds, and even that is a channeling spell, which can be disrupted. The other common stuns like Magnus' Reverse Polarity lasts 3.75 seconds, and to be honest, the AOE…

I guess I have a different mindset than most other gamers. If I saw this as my starting position I'd crack my knuckles and say "Well, this should be interesting..."

That is quite possibly the stupidest picture I have ever seen in my life

The main difference being that DotA is better.

Aren't you Americans ever going to get tired of war, destruction and death? You know, you can also have non gritty and killing movies.

How so? MvC3 pulled more numbers.

Hey, you knows what would be absolutely great?
