Just a quick question. Suppose i want to write an article about a game that isn't in the top, play/knowledge-wise, and i don't care about getting money nor joining the outof.cards content team, is there somewhere i can send it for review?
I'm not talking specifically about zero-day news, but maybe our own gameplay tips/etc. Even taking some opinions from other people and compiling something useful (with proper references links) etc.
What's the new way? :) and please don't say podcasts. Can't understand why people like to hear someone babble about whatever subject when you can read something more comprehensive and actually keep something in your brain.
It's ok, team5 have no idea what they are doing. They keep winging it with some adjustments here and there. The game went to shit long ago, simply because it went from a bit chess-like to full arcade mode.
It's like playing Charrua Soccer vs Fifa.
If you don't like what they are doing with it, spend your time somewhere else. It's not gonna change. They unfortunately get too much money out of it now.
Oh yea, that's a definite possibility. Level a char, gear it up, then ensure X other people wipe on some raid boss because of you :))))
Yet, i'd imagine the amount of time put in for this is a good enough deterrent for such behaviour. People get attached to their characters, mostly. Or at least i do, lol.
This mode is like a life lesson that everything eventually dies and you shouldn't get attached to anyone. Sends the wrong idea to younger minds tbh.
Any ideas what prompted blizzard to release this mod? Was it such a popular demand?
I'm not sure anyone's gonna do raids in this :)) they will attempt them, for sure. But 1 wipe and it's back to level one. And levelling takes a good while. People are gonna get fed up eventually.
I don't own nor played on consoles before, but for PC, why the hell should i pay a subscription to play some games instead of simply buying those and having them forever?!
This cloud gaming is such a stupidity (for PC at least) that it makes me cringe. If i don't want to play anything for 2 weeks every month or if i play only a few games, guess what, i'm giving Ubisoft money for almost nothing.
And then the "fear of missing out" trick comes into play - if i invested time and money into the cloud gaming, then i should probably keep doing it because otherwise it was for nothing. And they have everything saved there, and there is no other way to access it too!
These companies push these aggressive strategies just to get people hooked and make them pay for nothing in the long term.
No thanks, i'll stick to buying and actually owning the copies of the games i play. That way i can play even 2 days every month, can stop playing for X months if i want to, and so on. My saves will still be there on my hdd without having to pay to use them.
Is titan quest still forcing you to have so many inventory slots filled with runes? :)) i remember hating this about the game long ago. Basically forcing you to have alts for storage.
That game is so awesome that i'm making it as long as possible. Just want to enjoy the tactical aspect of it for as long as i can.
The reason is that the enemies are not really very hard to beat right now... Also, most skill points are kind of useless or force you to a certain play style with each of your characters. Probably a patch will follow soon, so a redo of the game will be in order then :)
In-between i'm probably gonna restart a game of Prehistoric Kingdom, since it had quite a bit of additions (seemingly) and i love ...zoo building xD
Since i stopped playing this game too, it seems a lot of new cards have appeared.
Unfortunately they are in pool 4 or 5, so unless you open your wallet it's not possible to play the imbalanced metas.
It seems to me the game is going the Hearthstone way, and the more cards get added, the harder it becomes to keep up and play up to date decks...
For this reason my feeling is that i'm not coming back any time soon :( i really hate what HS has become over the years and another card game full of clutter cards is not something i enjoy...
Can you guys make an article about what it's like to play D4 as free to play? Curious to see when you start hitting walls, what they are about, how far behind you end up and what this really means etc.
I've recently started a game of Distant Worlds 2 (with my usual huge galaxies and far apart from other empires). Been wanting to learn this game a bit after playing DW:Universe for some time in the past.
Age of wonders 4 seems a bit lackluster from what i'm reading. Only played it a bit. Everything that involves a hard "META" really puts me off, so i won't be playing this for a while.
When i'm bored of DW, i usually spend some hours in Rimworld before coming back. 350 mods really change the game for good.
Marvel snap i haven't played in a while, since i gave them an email about the UI annoyances that really make me throw the phone out the window. Like i told them, i'm not coming back until they do something about it. It's been a few months and nothing. Oh well...
Also sad about not having enough time or mood to play Spacebourne 2. The game receives lots of updates but nothing that is close to the systems i want to see improved (maybe except a few bugs here and there). It seems to me it keeps getting too complicated without things getting fleshed out properly in a timely manner. Nevertheless, the game is truly awesome and i plan on coming back to it soon. Hopefully.
I really don't agree with them on everything. Sure, it fits for mobile card games, but not something else.
Also, it doesn't mean card games should be limited to 3 minute gameplay cycles. Look what HS turned into over the years. Maybe some of us like long games of around 10 minutes, IF they provide enough strategic choices. When you bring the game down to 3 minutes, unless the game is designed properly, you end up with an RNG fest or other similar stuff that forces the game to end. Fortunately, Snap was properly designed for this and doesn't feel like crap, but fun.
"Consider where players are going to play your game. They might not be giving it their full attention" - this one is quite fun! Imagine designing a game that people DON'T HAVE TO PAY ATTENTION TO when playing it. Seriously?! What kind of game is that?! Why do you still play it??? Why did you design it that way?? Why are you calling it a "game"?! Oh wait... forgot HS exists, my bad. Also, forgot Ben designed a lot of HS too.
Like yea, imagine designing your game to be played while pooping, so you can't give it enough attention...
Anyway, i'd take most of his advice with a grain of salt. Not all mobile games involve cards or are TCG/etc. Also, not all mobile card games should be designed for ADHD teenagers that can't control themselves for more than 3 minutes.

Could you provide a link to the leak? Can't find anything but articles on it, and not the whole thing.

Hi,
1. I sometimes receive a 502 bad gateway error upon opening outof.games. After a refresh it connects properly.
2. Trying to enter this forum section triggers a cloudflare check. Other forums don't (at least the ones i visit). Is this intended?
Thanks
You lost to a priest, didn't you? :))

What does it blossom into?
Meanwhile, Jagged Alliance 3 coming out on the 14th 😊😊
Where's algalon's vision and what does it do? Please link related stuff to the parent cards.

Thanks! Will be buying Kingsblood :D
The challenge is to start taking care of yourself and your mental health in particular. 😞

Lmao.
At least you don't talk to your opponents that might not even be on this forum.
Take a break man. Play something else. Lots of good stuff out there. If you're interested in other game types, i could provide a few titles.
