I think the problem with the theme decks is it gets too easy to pinpoint their weakness because they're so devoted to a single strategy. I guess it's also because casual mode isn't very popular. Everyone wants to play Ranked for rewards and what not, so they netdeck to win (although I'm one to talk, since I suck at…

I want Argonians or Khajiits. Bethesda is popular enough now that a TES game could sell millions of units no matter what. They should use that opportunity to force gamers to really play some wacky shit. A game world consisting mostly of lizard or cat people would be awesome.

I think a lot of these fad games are pretty solid too, but they just don't have enough accessibility to maintain mainstream popularity. Rocket League is mechanically great, but it seems like there's a pretty big skill gap. If you're not playing a lot, you're going to get rusty. It's too much like real sports for me >_>

Hell yeah, Murloc decks rule! Although I wish theme decks like that were more common or viable. Discover sounds really wacky too, but it's good to hear it's balanced since everyone is always complaining about the amount of randomness in the game.

This looks seriously amusing, and the action look really solid. Apparently the second unit director and fight choreographer were from Jackie Chan's stunt team.

Morrowind was just too different or something. They've been slowly moving back to it. I'm expecting the next TES game to be fairly unique in its setting though, if only because they've exhausted generic locations. The only boring white dude race left is the Bretons. They've never seemed like a particularly popular…

This is true. I love the in game justification for Gwent according to the quest log. Geralt just likes to be the best at gaming. It seems like a flimsy explanation but it's one of those minor details that adds to his character. Makes him feel more real, he's got hobbies.

"THIS SHIT RIGHT HERE, IT IS THE SHIT"

I don't think I had anything specific I wanted to tackle this year, but I unexpectedly had to read Anna Karenina for a class and I adored it. Takes a bit to get into, but once it sucks you in it becomes deeply rewarding.

The good thing about the Fallout games is that they're based on a more modern setting, so you've got a natural variety of buildings and locations, just like a real city. I think when you set an RPG in a more basic fantasy world, like Oblivion, it's too easy to fall back on stock dungeon types like cave, tower, ruins,…

I took the plunge last week. It's so worth it.

I still haven't played Hearthstone in weeks, but I've been keeping up with the meta. TempoStorm says Aggro Shaman is the number 1 deck right now, I can't even believe it.

My computer just hits the minimum specs for the original. I'm not gonna be playing XCOM 2 for a loooooooonnnnnnnnng time :(

It's true, but I kinda love it. I haven't played a game before that's based around you being a double, even triple agent before.

I sent mine back to the detective agency. It feels weird sending certain companions back to your hide outs when they have established lives outside of adventuring with you. I think you only get like one shot to do it though, the mechanics are weird or glitchy, IDK.

I really wish they would troll everyone and release a FFVII remake that has HD versions of the original character models.

This weekend I'm gonna continue with The Witcher 3. I'm finishing up The Bloody Baron right now. Setting the difficulty up to hard was a good idea since it seems rather easy to over-level with the amount of side quests. Speaking of, I really wish modern RPGs could discover a way to give you an incentive to complete…

The Rocket League one hits home so hard. There was like two days of me and my roommates being so excited about it, telling everyone and playing for hours. We've played it maybe once since then. It seems like there's still a strong community still though.

I can agree with that to an extent. I was never fond of how the later novels didn't have as much of the chill schoolboy shenanigans. Book four was always my favourite though, it felt like it still had a good balance of the school stuff and the large conflict. Haven't read them in years though.

A little bit, although I feel like that is because it's setting up the rest of the trilogy. It's also been a bit since I read Alloy of Law so I had forgotten a few details that would have made the experience a bit better, I think.
