Damn. How did you find that out? I assumed it would be messy with all the different ways to watch

from reddit

though I take it they count duplicates? For ex I'm having all 3 channels up lol.

 

[zkylon]

Last year's TI concurrent view record already beaten by 3x, on the 3rd day of the group stages lol. ~6m cc viewers.

nice that's pretty good

also funny seeing all those league teams playing doto haha

So has Dota2 official overtaken LoL in regards to the whole MOBA genre? Last i read LoL was still very much considered the top dog in that scene

Nah, me thinks still king is lol player base dumb but with strenght.

 

[Phawx]

This is actually pretty good. Will be picking it up for Ancient Space and Warlock 2 DLC when this goes on Happy Hour and I can grab it for <1.5$

How does that work. Last time I saw happy hour, it seemed like it required to you buy the bundle once

LoL's still on top. Dota has around 11m monthly activer users and 800-900k ccu. It went above 1m in Feb/March, but hasn't touched it since. LoL has monster numbers, but don't know the current one. Years ago it had like 7.5m ccu. As much as Steam itself.

In terms of generating money, LoL > Dota 2

 

[Wok]

In terms of generating money, LoL > Dota 2

Not sure about that. TI5's prizepool is 17.5 million dollars, out of which 16 million were given by players like you and me. Since whenever players give money, only 1/4 of the money goes to the prizepool, it is 48 million dollars made by Valve, only with TI5. This is not even counting the money generated by hats, merchandise, and Steam Market for Dota2 hats, the whole rest of the year.

Edit: Okay. "It takes League of Legends about five days to earn that same amount of money [as Dota 2 makes in a month,&#8221; said van Dreunen. &#8220;Even though earnings have started to plateau around the holiday season, due to the major releases on other platforms, League of Legends still had a monthly run rate of over $123 million in January.&#8221;

Yes, the person who hosts the group buys has bought it when the bundle launchs so they can get the maximum numbers of extra bundles.(you can still use happy hour even if you didn't buy the bundle though, but you just get one extra bundle instead). When happy hour hits, those people can buy huge ammounts of bundles for a very low price. Hence why most bundles can be fully bought for 1.5$ or less.

 

[Chariot]

Not sure about that.

signif more players, equals more whales. Not drowning on the beach. All the mony in the air,

 

[dex3108]

Just to be clear game is in my library since day 1 i am just waiting for all episodes to go out

 

[TetraxShards]

Magic Duels

At last!

probably not even close

league worlds finals had like 11m concurrent viewers, hosts weekly tournaments of like 8 different regions and the game still has like 65m active players a month and league is just huge in china and korea

i'm pretty sure league simply can't be overtaken

Not sure about that. TI5's prizepool is 17.5 million dollars, out of which 16 million were given by players like you and me. Since whenever players give money, only 1/4 of the money goes to the prizepool, it is 48 million dollars made by Valve, only with TI5.

you're crazy, 48m are probably small change for riot lol

edit: just saw ur edit. told u haha. it's crazy ppl keep underestimating league, it has like wow numbers

In terms of generating money, LoL > Dota 2

in terms of money, playerbase and competitive infrastructure (or whatever) it's pretty massively ahead

which is cool cos doto is a more niche game and everything

Magic Duels

I think lashman just made me the happiest man on earth with this post. 2 games I can't wait to play.

Is this Magic game free to play with micro transaction or something?

 

[PandaPedinte]

Sakura Clicker NSFW

yes it is what you think it is

coming free to Steam

sorry of old

It's probably going to be on the Steam top 10 most played game.

 

[Ruruja]

Finally got Windows 10 done and activated, what a time to be alive.

Also Sakura Clickers looks great, I can't wait to play it.

[Megauap]

Welp, I just pre-ordered Final Fantasy Type-0 HD on Steam even though I have the PS4 version still sealed.
If the port turns out to be a mess I will refund it and play the PS4 version, so not worried at all.

 

[The Red Wizard]

no.

i'll wait.

I know it's been down to 7.50 at times but I don't buy episodic games until it's all out. I just don't have the memory for that type of stuff to hold for weeks.

as an example, i bought bayonetta 2 yesterday. Now, i love bayonetta 1 and yet I loaded bayo2 and realized that i remembered almost nothing from the first game. Like, i remember something about witches and stuff but i don't even remember what the hell happened at the end or throughout that game.

so yeah, rather play it all together so that i dont feel stupid when i get to the next episode

I used to be like that but now I'll just read a summary on Wikipedia, or somewhere similar, if I feel lost before a new entry.

I got Warlock 2 through a price mistake on Amazon for $5 right at release. Felt good. Never played it. Feels bad.

And I'm starting to understand why only 3% completed Marvelous Miss-Take. Those timed lasers combined with the dogs, man. I'm close to quitting. Performance is shitty too, a well known problem that was never fixed.

Has MMT got better controller support yet?

 

[Nzyme32]

Is it not extremely weird that these games are seemingly quiet about release dates but kind of expected to be out this year:

No Man's Sky
The Witness
FireWatch

I'm calling it - they are SteamVR games. Make it happen, they are the only games out side of MGSV that I am looking forward to.

I've got it in my mind that all three will be released in 2016. That way, if I'm wrong, I'll be pleasantly surprised.

yeah, there's no way im replaying Bayo1 to get into bayo2 so that's what i'll do, only to be disappointed that i even bothered in the first place

How does one go about getting into these groups?

That too. It's annoying me because I rarely find myself looking forward to games, and then three come along and seemingly go very quiet about when I can get them.

Same with games like:

The Witness will be out for sure this year. Their blog is active and they are mostly polishing and adding details.

Define 'better'. It works with pads now (didn't when released) and imo plays a little better except when trying to throw a gadget, that's so cumbersome I try to avoid it at all.

 

[Nzyme32]

Miegakure

I completely forgot about Miegakure - I absolutely want that too.
Didn't know of Mushroom11, and now I want it.

if they are, i'd expect that they're being modified for Morpheus then given their PSX exclusiveness. I don't think sony would take too well to those games launching with VR support on the PC but no morpheus support in 2016

 

[someguyinahat]

Magic Duels

Do we know what expansions this will cover?

 

[zkylon]

miegakure gets updates every now and then on its newsletter and jonathan blow posts dumb crap about the witness on his twitter account all the time

those people go at their own pace, takes forever but will probably be worth the wait

I'm certain every SteamVR game would have Morpheus support for the most part

 

[Turfster]

No!

No.

no

Well, shoot, I better wait this out then.

All the people waiting for episode 5 to be out before they even start will be spoiled to hell and back by the general internet out there, and they won't be able to play it before this happens, since you need 2-4 days per episode.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Probably won't even bother with the witness. Didn't like braid outside the dinosaur.

Really gotta recommend the current Humble Bundle at BTA. Lot of very good games in here.

Legendary Heroes, Mercenary Kings, Freedom Planet are all worth the BTA themselves.

 

[Wok]

Gorogoa is also one of these games which is always postponed.

Qasir Al Wasat is also postponed every so often.

 

[Leafhopper]

Clicker games were a mistake.

Do we know what expansions this will cover?

That's what I want to know. It's great it's free to play this time but if it's only recent sets ugh.

 

[Nzyme32]

Qasir Al Wasat is also postponed every so often.

Oh wow I definitely need Gorogoa! Qasir Al Wasat also looks like one I should keep an eye on. Definitely my type of games. Have you got any other games you are looking forward to? I get the impression I should be paying attention to those as well at this rate

 

[Sober]

So there are few opening missions in Watch_Dogs that are supposed to be tutorials for the online mingleplayer component ... are those actual players or are they just facsimiles? Cause they sure act like real players and do dumb things if that's the case.

I know it's directed at Wok but I feel compelled to chime in as well.

A few lesser known games I'm looking forward to this year:

Donut County
Samorost 3
Framed - This will be a port of an iOS game from last year that ended up being one of my favorite games of 2014.

I kinda want to load up Dark Souls now to invade someone then promptly turn into a barrel or something and wait for them to die of boredom.

Apparently Magic Origins has just random stuff (obviously most of it is from the newest set Magic Origins) and will eventually get all the cards.

I don't know how much I believe that last part considering MTGO exists but that's what I hear.

 

[Salsa]

got these 2 things for free recently

think I mentioned the laptop before. It's an old HP Pavilion dv5 with an i3 and 4 gigs of RAM. I had to get it "fixed" by cleaning it since a fan was clogged and it wouldnt boot up. runs a bit hot now (between 50-60° idle) but it's otherwise ok. Battery life is shit tho and lasts like 30 minutes without pluggin it.

the macbook pro is an even older 3.11 model that's running like OS X 1.5.8 or something and almost can't run shit unless I install a newer OS from a disk. It has 2 gigs of ram and core2duo I think. Screen is pretty crazy at 1080p 17 inches for a thing that came out in like 2007. Also it doesnt have a battery so I can only run it while plugged in. Thinking of maybe getting a third party batt since it's a legacy model and no way i'll get an original one

anyway. thing being i've been trying Steam on both and it's pretty crazy both how well they can run some games and how well streaming from my PC works. I live in a small house tho so I doubt i'll use that at all, but it's cool to finally check that feature, and OS X Steam too.

now I can play Isaac Rebirth on trips bby. will probably install win 10 on the HP today

so you love your 3ds so much that youre trying to bind 2 laptops together to mimic its setup on PC?
