I'm scared of all the LOL players who will come to DOTA 2 and rage at the game because of how different the meta games are.

I'm scared of idiots who THINK they know what they're talking about when it comes to dota. Just had a bunch in my last game... It's really quite simple. Hero picks DO NOT MATTER at nooby pub level. It's all about the player. Just play smart, and you'll do fine. But noooo, they start bashing me because I'm 1-3-7 Faceless who can't get kills because the rest of the team fed the other team. Most last hits and denies on entire team, least amount of deaths. Problem is we had an 0-9 Destroyer and a Mortred that was just as bad.

I need to just go back to just playing Kunkka and ghost boat +tidebringer crit everybody. Kunkka has become my absolute favorite hero. Absolutely a ton of fun to play, and pimpslapping entire teams with a good crit is hilarious.

Bought Dark Souls didnt like it that much. Not much story and I dont have the time anymore to invest to get better at it. If I didnt have a job and spent a bunch of time playing it maybe my opinion wuold be different. Not a game for casual gamers which I am now.

Its easily the hardest game Ive ever played just starting out. Most games give you a little slack at the start, not Dark Souls.

fundrazer · 09-25-2012, 06:22 AM

I'm guessing you haven't played the classic's then, not that I have either. From what I always hear/read/see, Battletoads and Super Ghosts and Ghouls are the hardest games ever. If you throw in mods' there's Kaizo Mario.

Dharmaboy · 09-25-2012, 06:26 AM

Playing Super street fighter 4 arcade edition, fable lost chapters, and NHL13. I'm giving up on Star Wars Old Republic for now.

both games are on my list. downloading the torchlight 2 free demo - it's relatively hefty and it seems their servers are getting hit pretty hard. looks like it's gonna be fun. for $20 it seems like a good bargain.

the x-com remake looks like a ton of fun and an evolution of the ufo defense game from 20 years ago. i remember the original was also ported over to the ps1. good times.

X-com demo is up on steam. Plan to Download tonight. Hope the GPU in my laptop is up to the task.

I always thought the original Ninja Gaiden for NES was the hardest game for me.

Its to this day the only game I tried to beat and didnt. I mean I tried and tried with the game but never even got close.

Then I finally beat it with an emulator where I could save state every two minutes.

But that was when I was young enough to be able to play nonstop all the time. I simply dont have the time to invest in playing these super hard games to get good at them. In Dark Souls case the story if better could have kept my interst a bit longer. But that game aint my style anymore.

equinox · 10-12-2012, 10:41 AM

I'm playing "TRIBES ASCEND", a fast paced FPS.

It's a free 2 play game, that scored a very high 86 on metacritic review site.

Release few months back on steam.

Here is the link and video to game play.

All around, I like Browns. The Model M requires a lot of force to actuate, might not be great for fast paced gaming. Cherry Blues are by far my favorite switch, though. If I had a KB dedicated for work, it'd be browns. Currently I'm using a red board, because I lent the brown one to my brother.

I have a LOT of mech keyboards...

ABS M1 w/ swapped out ALPS Whites (didn't like blacks, and found a dumpster dive donor board for new switches). Controller sucks, but this is probably my favorite key feel.

iOne Scorpius M10 - Cherry Blue, cheap board. Stabilizers squeak. Not bad for a first/cheap Mech, but there are MANY more options nowadays than there were when I bought it. Swapped keys from a Cherry OEM board, now it's a Cherry Brown board. Lent it to my brother, hopefully i get it back someday. Better to get something along the lines of:

Coolermaster QuickFire Rapid (TKL). Costar OEM (Filco). Very solid build quality, obnoxious branding (I heard they're toning it down). Frequently runs <$70, highly recommend it if you won't miss the ten keys. (Gamers). Blues are a great switch for typing, and I personally feel that they are great for gaming, too. The actuation point is a little bit lower than the release point, so you may be at a disadvantage if you are very, very rapidly hitting keys (RTS, IMO).

Leopold w/ Cherry Reds: Good board, don't like red switches that much, even for RTS. Too sloppy, accidental keypresses all over the place. Switch action is just too light. I brought this board in to work, added O-rings to quiet it down a little bit. Vague key feel, prefer browns.

Razer BlackWidow w/ blues: Hate macro key placement. I'm a touch typist, and I hit the macro keys when going for the CTRL key. HATE it. Board is obviously lower quality than Tier 1 mfgrs, but it's a pretty OK keyboard.

Chicony ALPS (baby) Blue: Awesome key feel, but PS/2, so I don't use it. Plan to design a custom keyboard around these switches.

IBM Model M: PS/2, no windows key, too "old school" for my tastes. Key feel is excellent, tactility is excellent, but I won't really use this, it's just a "collector's item" for me.

Dell AT101W - Black Alps (complicated). Feel way better than simplified Black ALPS, but I feel the key bump less than with Cherry MX Browns. PS/2, so I don't use.

Other misc boards that aren't notable - a few

Ninja Gaiden series was haarrrrd no kidding.

equinox · 10-12-2012, 05:54 PM

I bought the Coolermaster Quickfire rapid cherry blues, fantastic all-round kb though a little noisy.

SFrazeur · 10-12-2012, 08:10 PM

Any retro/vintage game or hardware collectors out there? If so what is your most valuable item?

Myself I have a cartridge of EarthBound for the SNES. They sell for about $125-$150 on auction site. I paid $5 years ago.

What a great game, the first with "cutscenes" and cinema. The last level was indeed ultra hard as you had to start so far back after you died. The secret was to keep the Spin Slash move, which defeated Jacqui and the Alien thing at the end super quick.

Sweet,

I have meant for years to get a ROM and play the game. Poeple talk it up so much.

I have brand new boxed Steel battalion with the 40 button controller and all that. I opened the box once to look at it. It sat in storage for years never played. Now I debate whether to sell it or pull out my old Xbox and play the thing.

Its a shame they never made other games that used the controller. Probably a develpment nightmare though.

Also have an old nintendo R.O.B somewhere. Just have gyronmite though no stack up.

filphil · 10-16-2012, 11:39 AM

Demo'd the new DMC at NY Comic Con this past weekend. Good stuff.

JRstriker12 · 10-17-2012, 06:42 AM

So many games, not enough time!

Played the Medal of Honor Beta, it's pretty good. I might pick it up as a change of pace.

Might also look at x-com for the xbox as my laptop was a little too slow in running the demo off of steam. Then there's Halo 4 and Black Ops 2 might actually get me back to COD.

goober · 10-22-2012, 07:49 AM

Preordered Halo 4 and Bops 2. Not sure how much time I will have to play, but should keep me busy gamingwise for the next 4-5 months.
