Replaying Middle earth shadow of Mordor currently. Great game together with shadow of war if you don't take the story too seriously as it's basically a fan fiction.

Also playing batman arkham asylum for the first time. Cool game so far but it doesn't scratch the same itch for me as middle earth shadow series does.

After that I'll probably replay far cry 4

Lmao. I guess this is still better than giving people hopes and forcing the game to run for a year or two

It's a bummer that control oriented paladin decks like earthen and reno will also be severely hurt with these nerfs, probably more than pure and showdown paladin will be. Why not just nerf showdown, countess and one of auras. It's clear that these cards are problematic and specifically in those decks. I think earthen and reno don't even use them. Reno maybe uses countess but it's a deck that won't care too much about its nerf as long as the card isn't killed, since it's control oriented and it can afford mana increase on either countess or the spells or legendaries that you get

Those are some pretty tame balance changes. Honestly I'm not a fan of these small changes every 2 weeks, you don't even know what's safe to craft. There will be "adventurous" changes after the 17th. They are making some weird moves recently. Either they nuke cards or they barely touch them.

Same lol. I started allowing myself to spend 3000-3500 gold on skins per expansion and now I save up standard packs for launch (I used to open them right away). I dust my wild cards and I have all the decks I want to play so I figured skins would bring me more joy than some extra legendaries and epics. Once the next rotation happens I'll have around 80k dust. All as a f2p and I just clear my quests, I don't even play that much.

That actually looks dope. Fits the craziness of gta games, kinda reminding me of san andreas in that aspect, I don't know why. And I like that it's a duo this time, making it more intimate (?) I guess. I just hope the game won't have cringe woke humor and vibe like the latest Saints Row did.

We'll be getting a (presumably) bigger balance change in just 4 days on December 5th so this is just to tone things down right now. Anyway, I agree with the comment below me. The meta constantly evolves and changes with frequent nerfs and buffs. I do think they were clueless on some recent ones with Jailer and Tony for example where they had no idea what to do with them other than completely kill them, but for the most part they keep the meta in a (imo) healthy state.

Guan Yu Uther looks so good. It's just a shame it doesn't have custom animations even tho in hero selection it implies it's a premium skin since it has a full artwork.

But there were only 3-4 right?

Ragnaros for 1000 gold? Let's go! This is a premium skin btw 

You can kinda already get an approximate of time played by looking at the number of wins in every mode

I think that's great news. Steam is the biggest gaming platform so it will definitely boost the arrival of new players as long as Hearthstone actually has a decent score and is easy to find.

I personally wouldn't be switching to steam because I really don't mind bnet. If anything it has much simpler look and I honestly don't like steam and all of its addons that much. 

It does make me wonder tho, is Microsoft planning to delete battle net? We are almost half way of all the blizzard games being on steam which will eventually make a question if battle net is at all necessary.

I feel like the next gta will be a first big flop story wise.

Regarding GOTY, I don't know a single title that comes even remotely close to Baldur's gate. It's like the Elden Ring of this year. 

But of course Zelda might be the winner even tho it doesn't deserve it in the slightest. There's nothing really new or groundbreaking with that title but of course Nintendo fanboys will try to make a classic out of it as usual.

If Starfield even appears on the nominees list, this competition is already a failure.

And people were downvoting me when I said this mode was dead on arrival. Classic died for this and classic was at least fun and nice and cheap to play 

That bingo row was a coward's bet.

Sword was pretty much confirmed before the ceremony because there was a mini statue of "what sword" meme.

No starcraft 2 is obvious, it's more dead than hots.

Blizzard collection - seriously? Of course they'll promote the shit out of their product specifically tied to this event.

Mauga was heavily hinted before the event, it just needed to be said.

And of course the center piece, expectations subverted, the most subjective thing that you can always check and find the audience that will agree. Wow has me super hyped, so expectations are fully met.

At first I thought the mirage itself will be a 3 mana 3/4 which would be great for Big Paladin. But now seeing that it just transforms into a copy of a minion it looks so underwhelming. So the effect is to essentially have duplicates, but then why not just run duplicate deck in the first place and dump this? Unless Reno is gonna be some insane value card which will make you run highlander at all costs. 

This one feels like a good addition to an already existing highlander deck. It's certainly weird to build a deck around the card that just makes you partly undo the limitation it itself created at the cost of having worse consistency. It's creating a problem and then solving it, but the problem doesn't even exist without this card.

Very good article! I had no idea about pumpkin jack and it looks so fun. Will definitely be checking it out. It's a shame MediEvil isn't available on pc.

I really doubt that's the case. Otherwise, the rogue treasure works only if you hold it in hand for 4 more excavations making it super slow and bad. Plus other classes need to stretch those excavate cards to a maximum in order to get the second legendary treasure so it's not like it's gonna be broken to get more than one.

I like the Sally skin but I find it tough to buy it without class packs. It's 1000 gold just for a cosmetic. As a f2p 10 packs will contribute much more
