Finished Tomb Raider, going good on Far Cry 3, Mass Effect is always a blast, Crysis 3 is great, Path of Exile is kicking my ass and now downloading Heart of the Swarm.
Here's me hoping the last bastion of Blizzard games stands tall, compared to the other two messes.

"So, he sent a succubus to seduce you, and lure you down to his side. And yet, first thing you do is to check her ass? Ah, kid, you've got much to learn.."
Yeah i noticed something have been going on in my absence, and i dont really like the whole idea.
Just want to smack you in the face with a pair of sweaty balls.
am thinking basketballs for good measure
Oh wow, someone who actually thinks that Crysis 3 was good.
I would say something, but i just got unbanned 16 hours ago...
I'll just leave this here.

Oh come on, you didn't just pulled Yahtzee on me...
Though never mind, he rambles about the plot holes and how much he hates a feature, which he usually does.
I've watched Yahtzee for years, and I love him, but even he doesn't bash Crysis 3 with good measure. I expected more cursewords and better imagination like he did with Duke Nukem review, a game which he actually hated.
And fyi, bow and arrow is the shit right now, and only one who is really pissed about it is Legolas who couldn't make the damn thing so popular by himself. Maybe he can act all hipster about it though. (Special thanks to Katniss Everdeen, Jennifer something the oscar winner who swept up the internet.)
"So, he sent a succubus to seduce you, and lure you down to his side. And yet, first thing you do is to check her ass? Ah, kid, you've got much to learn.."
I like Yahtzee, hes rather perfect after abandoning Cynical Brit after finding out that he wasnt so cynical after all.
And he said that the games he hates to review are the dull ones (such as crysis 3 i guess) since if a game is either great or absolutly shit then he gets alot of material, but if he gets a mediocre game then he just goes "meh".
Also, Hunger Games is just a weakass, badly written hollywood teen copy of Battle Royale.
Although a Hollywood take on an otherwise good book, isn't hunger games responsible for all of this "Arrow and Bow, Bow and Arrow all the way!" type of deal we are going through?
I mean, Crysis 3 did make a statement that Bow would be present in their game a long time ago. But after that, we got Far Cry 3, Tomb Raider, Arrow TV Series, and whatever else I can't remember right now.
Hell, three words, Talon Mercenary Engineer.
To be fair, Mass Effect is the one with weak adaptation of bow and arrow here. Far Cry and Tomb Raider has stealth and hunting elements for their wooden stick with a string, and Crysis goes and dedicates a whole new weapon slot and stealth gameplay to it. Considering the dark and rather serious tone of the TV series, Talon Heavy melee just falls flat and I would prefer it to be an actual power instead of power charge tied to heavy melee.
"So, he sent a succubus to seduce you, and lure you down to his side. And yet, first thing you do is to check her ass? Ah, kid, you've got much to learn.."
Its just nonsensical.
An arrow cant carry the impact that a gunshot does.
Really, Gilgamesh fired swords, axes, spears and all manners of melee weapons like a rain of arrows, and it is effective as a "kill everything" because of its high velocity and the force.
Although why his spear exploded when it was hit with a sword makes no sense.
I mean, a bullet is effective because the speed makes it close to unstoppable, so if you fire a goddamn sword just as fast, a human body would have a pretty big hole in it.
But an arrow cant match it. You would need some sort of hightec firearm that can replace the explosive function with something just as efficient to fire off arrows, but it would still be less efficient because they could have made a better machinegun, also bullets face less resistance and are harder to take out and can finish off a wounded foe if left in, whereas you can have 15 arrows in your body, one throught the throat and still live as long as you just break off the sticks.
Vikingstyle.
TL: DR Bows and arrows are stupid, for a reason.
If you are worried about Heart of the Swarm. I just completed the campaign on hard (a little under 10 hours, with bio breaks and all). It is a great campaign, especially if you happen to actually pay attention to the story and not roll your face through it.
Now time to wait another 2 years for the finale of the story. Evolution missions were fun though. Fly Banelings fly.
My N7 Destroyer is crippled only having a Revenant atm, I really need a Typhoon =(
Ex-Mod. Technically retired, they just won't let me quit.

Bwaahahahahaha
Biotic Focus buffs ^.^
Omni-Bow is still garbage, grenade regen buff makes the trip mines even more op
haha massive nerf to AIU, this is gonna piss alot of people off!
warp field to weaken its armor, let it close, then tech armor! - Turian hipster
Either Grunt's voice actor is in HotS, or they found someone that sounds a lot like him.
Are you kidding? That was a really minor nerf.
The AIU has two strong selling points:
Very High damage output due to various talents - Check
Able to Self Ressurect with a buff that has great defensive values - Check
Now, to be fair, but they did not change the damage output at all. It is still an insanely deadly kit and I am still melting things just as fast as ever.
What did they do to Repair Matrix? Cut the duration and shield restore in half, then they lowered damage reduction by 10%.
Now, for a buff that gives you over 10 seconds of immunity and constant shield regeneration (to get back shield gate repeatedly) while also providing you with 30% damage reduction to avoid dying, it is still a strong ability. They definately needed to slice the duration, but as it is now, the ability is a tad more balanced.
...but if you run a 6/6/6/6/0 build like me, focusing on not being hit, the Repair Matrix is bloody insignificant. If they had touched the damage at the same time, then we'd be talking "massive nerf".
I don't see Steve Blum's name on the Starcraft II IMDB page, but maybe it doesn't include HOTS.
I'm not finding another list of VAs.
EDIT: Found the list, I searched Heart of the Storm instead of Heart of the Swarm, derp.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2288037/...=tt_cl_sm#cast Steve Blum (Grunt) is not on it. Jack (Courtney Taylor) however is.
