I am going to build every hero like an Alchemist-Naga whenever the game is going to be long and there are already supports.

This is the best way to make sure I can carry my "hey-let-us-farm-40-min" pubs with Earth Spirit.
The Octarine is so good to chase. Rolling all day.
Also Blademail is core against WR's ultimate.
I have tried Battlefury as well, it allows to farm stacked ancients and get a really quick agha after that.

Hasn't it also spawned tons of fan Manga/Anime?
No anime yet but lots of manga and music yeah.
It's a few decades old and the art still looks janky as fuck:
In my 30s. People trying to act like Bethesda games are shit. They have a ton of jank in them and are very unpolished but the breadth of experiences they provide is amazing and unlike anything else in gaming. I don't think it's crazytalk to say Skyrim and Fallout 3 were great games. Everybody loved them and neither of them were even close to being technical showpieces. I don't know why anybody would expect Fallout 4 to look like [current best looking game on market] when that's never ever been their goal. People who pick apart screenshots to look for jaggies or who care about minor objects inconsequentially clipping thru other objects in a massive open world game can sit and spin. If you want a game to be a technical marvel enjoy whatever Naughty Dog shits out next to walk in a straight line and have a story recited to you. Don't even look at Fallout, it's not for you.

Linear games are the best games though. Why spread your budget, attention and inspiration thin on a large world when you can instead focus all of that on a limited number of areas. I don't want open world filler, give me the purest, most hand-crafted shit you got.
That, and having to account for the player being able to approach from any direction is so hard to combine with interesting level and encounter design.
Excuse you, I played 3 matches today.

It's fine to hold this opinion. I'm not saying you're wrong, I just disagree wholly. Having a game that 100% of the people playing it are going to experience the same way seems like a waste of it even being a video game. Just make a movie or go sit on a ride at Disneyland. I'd rather have a less refined experience that can unfold in a multitude of ways.
naval warfare doesn't count

I'm not sure if I follow the bolded. Games are different from movies because they are interactive. A linear game still is interactive.
For example, I played through METAL GEAR RISING: REVENGEANCE (sic) again last month and that game is fucking rad, partially in ways that only games can be. It's 100%, go-straight-ahead-to-creditsville linear, but doesn't mean it doesn't ask for input and creativity from the player. It's incomparable to watching a movie or any other passive experience, whether the game allows you to make significant story decisions or not.
The best way to do things is like Deus Ex did it. (the original, not the washed down attempt at a sequel we got some year ago).
The story and progression is linear so the programmer controls the entry and exit points of the "level" and the writer can present the story within the boundaries that you can reach in that level, however how you get from the entry to the exit points is entirely up to you.
So in a way instead of one big world were you are free to go anywhere and do whatever you feel like, you get a linear succession of smaller worlds where you're free to do as you please without compromising the story presentation.

i think he forgot that games have gameplay when he made that post
Yo, I can totally understand being annoyed at intense gamer criticism. It drives me fuckin' bonkers, too. Everybody expects perfection, and when a developer or game is less than perfect, people overreact and it's goddamn insane. The gaming community is collectively a spoiled brat.
But your post literally said "literally" in reference to Bethesda's games being the best video games. "Bethesda is developing literally the best video games on the market right now."
Chill.
I think Bethesda games are boring, I played FO3 recently, well tried to, and couldn't get over the fact that my actions had no consequences in the world beyond a minor change in text. Like after getting through the absolutely dreadful intro, I explored a schoolhouse full of bandits, found nothing of worth or interest, made my way to Megaton, tried to help out the sheriff and watched as some guy murdered him. And then nobody cared? The text changed from "we have a great sheriff" to "we had a great sheriff". The sheriff's kid went "my dad told me to give you this reward if he died" and that's it. Boring! That's when I quit.
But I also know plenty of people think my favorite games are boring. Everybody got their own 'pinions, y'know.
Now everyone shit-talk No Man's Sky so I can be the angry one.

I rather play a 100 linear story driven games like SOMA then play anything bethseda is putting out.
Human revolution is a fantastic game. It's just that the writing is piss poor and the boss fights are god awful.

Well I can't help it you didn't play long enough to find the quest where you turn Megaton into a crater

The original Deus Ex didn't age that well and to make a modern sequel to it meant a lot of jank had to be streamlined, but HR did feel a bit like it threw out the baby with the bathwater in that regard.
I mean, I played it in 2008 when it came out. I thought that quest started in Tenpenny Tower, which is a lot farther away than the school and Megaton itself. You really didn't played very much of the game having only seen those 2 locations.
yeah i'm aware because the game was so boring it drove me off after only a few hours
this is something very very few games manage to do

while we we're still on the topic of not dota,
a new wave of overwatch beta invites has gone out if you opted in maybe take a minute to check your account

My issue with Fallout 3 and Bethesda games in general is that a lot of moral choices are relegated to Big Red Buttons and whether you press them or not. Megaton bomb, Tenpenny basement ghouls, How you deal with The Family, shit like that. The most obvious black and white moral choices. The game's idea of being good is to not act at all which is boring as hell.
//patsStill didn't get in
I want to single out this one because of how dumb it was.
I'm sure you've all seen that image floating around the internet (I can't find it right now):
You talk the Tenpenny tower people into letting the ghouls in, then come back later and find out the ghouls killed all the regular people and put their bodies in the basement, then you lose karma for killing the ghoul leader.

Yeah the Tenpenny Tower mission is one of the stand out moral choice based mission in games at that time. Still have this article about it bookmarked.
this is the appeal of touhou
I could just YouTube search fireworks.
But the fun is dodging the fireworks!
im saying wr can solo kill anybody and burst out a few thousand damage in seconds, on a short cooldown via a pickoff and within a teamfight. Magnus needs to fit a special circumstance to put out his aoe damage, as you said a 2 or 3 man rp. He is not going around the map with a stun/burst combo on a 30second cooldown liek windranger is.
Yeah I'm just kidding. I think Ikaruga is my limit for that type of game.
Disgusting.
Here's your daily dose of anime instead.

DotaGAF is a master of multitasking
mfw playing blizzard games since warcraft 2 in 1997
mfw no overwatch beta
the higher ur dota mmr the lower your chances
mfw games were actually better before public beta tests and filled with quirks that improved gameplay
mfw blizzard will never replicate broodwar success in a genre it defined because most of what made it great was mistakes
