Madden '25 PS4 Season 2 CCM Thread: Now with 75% less Madden talk!

If Wildstar is any good, there's a coupon for 25% off Wildstar on GMG. I'll have to try it this weekend to see how it is.

Since the NDA is lifted, I'll try to stream the first dungeon this weekend. The normal leveling is pretty vanilla. And especially after being a bit spoiled by the cinematic experience of leveling in swtor (one of the only things they did right), wildstar was pretty dry. However, the dungeons are super fun, so you should definitely check out a stream if you can't get to lvl 20 this weekend.
 
I'm pretty sure I'm worse at Starcraft than I am at DOTA. At least with DOTA I'm controlling one guy. Asking me to manage an entire fucking army and its economy? LOL

But I would play anyways!

Anyone still play Hearthstone? I'm trying to make the push into the single digit ranks and get to Legendary. My Hunter rush deck is starting to lose its edge as the better players have wised up (although good draws can still be nearly unstoppable). Would like to challenge anyone who still plays to test out new deck ideas.

I still play but I think my main deck (Mage control) is basically capped at 15. I was up to 12 for a brief period this season but haven't gotten higher. It's too draw dependent.

Yea I'm at 12 or 11 now and trying to get that push but I keep facing better synergy decks that are getting monster draws. If you're on at all this week lemme know, I'll throw some different class decks at you. Also, if you haven't seen it already, hearthpwn.com has some decent deck ideas (takes a while to sort through all the noise).

I still play a bit, although mostly just doing the daily quests. I don't play any Arena anymore, which is what I used to play exclusively.

I think I got into top 10 with a Murloc/Warlock rush deck last month, it was pretty dumb how effective it was. I just made a control-heavy Priest deck that I have been enjoying a lot lately, it is much more my preferred playstyle.

Yes I much prefer arena, much like I prefer sealed deck in MTG. You're right about rush decks being ridiculously effective, it's probably something blizzard will have to balance eventually. In MTG rush decks are balanced by the ability to interact during your opponent's turn (among other gameplay elements). But it seems like blizzard is committed to the current style for hearthstone.

I love playing rush decks with my mage deck. More often than not it ends in a turn five concede because I wiped their murlocs with some freezing spells.

Fuck it. Went to the store and they had a pre-owned copy of the new Metal Gear already. Picked it up. Kind of excited as deep down in my heart, this is probably my favorite franchise, and having Kiefer replacing fucking Hayter sounds great.

It's hidden in there for sure. MGS is just one of those GOAT games. Where I remember the entire experience. Playing the demo, getting it day one at the store, playing the living shit out of it.

Hey, it's tough for me to get excited about shit anymore. The last things I was excited for were fucking consoles with no content!

So... why not just buy new?!

At Gamestop? Their new copy is probably opened as well and I was right there. I can also return the sucker in seven days if I want to.

The best deal right now is at Toys "R" Us. The game is 10% off and you get a $10 gift card. I just didn't feel like driving.

Why wouldn't you just rent it if you were concerned about price?

Rental stores don't exist anymore around here except for the lone ma/pa store renting porn/eclectic viewing in some of the cities.

I just read CAG/Slickdeals often, so I usually know of the deals given week if there is something I'd like to get.

I just keep using Rogue and they are so good. Especially when using certain legendary cards in your deck. I don't like Priest at all as a class. I feel like their ability is just too weak.

There were redboxes in MA when I lived there. They all died??

None of them have next-gen games for whatever reason.

There was only like one random RedBox in a shitty area near me that would get the games at midnight. I remember the only time I went out was when there was a blizzard and Assassins Creed 3 came out.

I was judged by onlooking hookers as I rushed out to get the worst game I've ever played.

Priest is weak, but it still can be deadly with the right cards, like Prophet Velen, and a lot of synergy cards that get boosts from healing spells.
