I pulled one and sold it, and thought "Hah! I'll sell it now, and then when it leaves standard the price will plummet and I'll just get one then!"

That's a FOV issue, not an FPS one

I've been doing my part to get the US onto this list, you guys need to get on my level.

There are plenty of other digital card games that are awesome and that WotC leaves alone. This game pretty blatantly stole the vast majority of it's mechanics from MtG. Look at Hearthstone, it's huge, and is obviously inspired by Magic, but it did it's own thing, and therefore are safe.

They're both still great games. I know many people aren't fond of newer versions of DnD, but I found 4e to be pretty great it you looked at it differently from previous versions, and Magic is still just as good (if not better) than ever. There's a lot more variety in Magic now, with alternate formats like…

I've heard it fairly frequently living in Michigan, maybe it's not used where you're located here in America?

This game wasn't released on Early Access, it was released as a finished, full game.

I'm tempted because of all that I've heard about Saga, but I hate digital comics. I'll probably snag this bundle, read 2 pages, and then go out and buy a physical copy anyways.

Her complaint about how similar it felt to Halo was the best recommendation I've heard for the game so far.

They're not only in place because it took so long, because if they were doing it for game design reasons, then they would either, a) pick the length of time based on what they felt was appropriate, or b) let players decide how long it should take without requiring payment to make that choice.

I'm not a fan of TF2's system, either, but at least that game is free.

If they're adding microtransactions to make it "fair" for people who don't have a lot of time to play, then why did they hide upgrades/items behind a time sink in the first place? What is the point of progression in a game if you can just pay to skip it?

In the movie it was that guy getting blown by a dude in a bear suit.

There's a reason the Counter-Strike series is one of the most popular online FPS in the world. It's amazingly fun, and most guns are 1-headshot kill

That's always been an option, it's called "Disable notifications during video playback" or something similar. I assume (hope) that these new X1 notifications have the same option.

I hate it when MS does it, too. I'm primarily a PC gamer who also owns an Xbone, a 360, and PS3. Gonna snag a PS4 within a year. It's not about who does it, it shouldn't happen at all.

But how, in any way, does that help the consumer? Ubisoft makes money that Sony is giving them, Sony hopefully sells a few PS4s, but the consumer gains nothing. Why is it ok for them to screw over half of their player base because Sony gave them some cash? We're all paying the same amount for the game.

I know why…

That is why they make games. But we buy games because they give us value for the money we spend.

Exclusive content gives no one value, except that Sony will hopefully convince some on the fence people to go PS4 instead of Xbone.

I fucking hate console/retailer/preorder exclusive content. It is purely for the money makers, it in no way helps the consumer.
