I only ever pre-order Nintendo games anymore because of the risk of them being sold out, also the fact that they're usually not broken at launch. Hell, I straight up refuse to buy EA games unless it's several years after release and they're on sale.

SFV comes pretty close to the most broken game I've played that isn't in beta though, though that doesn't mean much in my case. Never give in to the hype kids.

What do you mean by broken ? It's lacking features that will be added soon© but it doesn't feel broken ?

As in I literally can't play vs people in my friend list, most I could go was 1 round before it DC'd, and that was after like 15 minutes of the game DC'ing me or telling me the lobby doesn't exist when I try to join or invite someone.

I dunno, maybe it was bad luck and I'm salty but it sure felt like a broken mess. Single player works even if it barely even exists right now.

I think there's server issues currently, game itself is fine
I wouldn't know though I only played 10 minutes this morning during breakfast to see if it runs well

I never really liked fighting games but always had a soft spot for SF, ever since SF II on the Mega Drive. Last night I watched someone play the "single player" of this game and was super disappointed... 3 fights per character? Story is told in still watter-colored images?

It's really sad to see how low the franchise, and the company that makes it, have fallen. Here's hopping they manage to fix things and bring the content that's clearly missing.

They rushed it b/c quals for evo start next month. Think I'm gonna swap my pre-order for Guilty Gear instead.

They plan to have fully fleshed out the game by june or so, I knew they were rushing it. I just didn't expect them to have rushed it this much. What Whiskey said, this feels like an EVO build more than anything.

That's quite good to read actually. Although, whatever the case may be, a <product> shouldn't be released unless it's finished.

so theoretically if I wanted to upgrade my 2012 pc and get a SSD and haven't yet used my free W8.1 > W10 upgrade, how easy would it be to put the W10 on the SSD in a new rig?


also maybe I should look into cheap water cooling solutions.

I miss hazaro :(


also, silencer needs hella buffs yall are crazy he still has one totally useless skill

weaver too, he needs a str gain buff.

Stayed up too late last night making a glorious comeback. Down two sets of rax, then we get a Divine from the enemy WK on our Morphling. And of course it was a completely unnecessary Rapier to begin with, just the other guy trying to style on us I guess. Clearly came back to bite him in the ass.

Use Shadow Shaman. Downgrade stomp to a firm but audible footstep.

i think you would have to reinstall windows 8 first, although you might be able to just put a valid windows 8 key into the windows 10 installer.

Is Alliance Vs. Vega in the CD tournament happening in an hour and change? Liquipedia says it is but I don't see it listed on dota2lounge, which is sadly still the place where I normally get my info on upcoming pro game streams.

Yeah preorders without a deep discount is risky. Getting network errors while playing single player games is just crazy ( diablo and sim city). For multiplayer based games it isn't the tech that fucks you it is the ecnomics behind the tech.

I way too shit on shaman tho. Like 38% win rate over 36 matches levels of shit.

I think the main issue i am having is that I forget about the quest till the end, if I focus on using disables even when not needed then I will get it (hexing a target with 4 hp left and about to die anyway)

Being on the same team as that WK would have made me absolutely furious

purging and disarming and his ult still have plenty of lategame utility imo
Click to expand...

sure, but weaving that stuff into a fight in which most carries are bkb'd is pretty hard. just saying, his winrate probably has a lot to do with how effective he is in teamfights around 40 minutes without being an oracle expert.

One day I realized that sadness is just another word for not enough coffee.
Oracle scales pretty well because Root/Purge, Disarm/Immunity and Anti-Death remain useful at all stages of the game.

Been spamming Dark Seer and Oracle pickers put me on tilt.

Also, work blocked gaf but not reddit and I've got no more data on the phone for two more days. I will endure.

true, it's definitely harder compared with early game, but there are always purge targets in a fight (your own team too, don't forget) and the ult always has utility
