What, that it's so easy or that it is literally named casual mode? EDIT: Allied Commanders mode is okay, it's literally playing harder versions of campaign missions with a friend. Only one friend though - apparently, it's two players max. Not sure about that decision. It'd be better if it was four players and scaled with the amount of people.

You mean the casual mode? You can generally win the mission just with the units you get at the start of a mission.

Not to pick her side or anything, but both of those are considered, either by the character or defined as such by the game, a curse and are played for laughs and ridiculed. Not exactly happy fun times for real transgender people, I'd imagine.

Seconded. Older devs think they own everyone. One older dev claimed I would never make it in the game industry because I wasn't good at Call of Duty 2. People are just rude morons. Has nothing to do with gender. She brought that baggage with her.

It certainly ups the difficulty. I played through the normal mode so far and some of the missions around the end became harder than trying to get all the hard achievements in Heart of the Swarm.

There's a little ending bit where they say what happened to everyone else who all lived happily ever after , but yeah, that's essentially it.

In stark contrast to my previous, more positive posts: If you hated the writing in the others, wait until you see this ending. I'm literally reeling from how all-out insane and stupid this became in the end. Check the spoiler box if you want to read my summary. I want to know what kind of crazy pills the Blizzard writers are taking and how I can get my hands on some. What the ****.

Nevermind.

To everyone who keeps posting that ridiculous man's nonsense: Why are you giving idiocy a platform? All you're doing is spreading it to more people to infect.

I was an emergency babysitter for my brother-in-law's 3 little tykes (6 months, 2 and 4 respectively) and I wanted to kill myself. Still, I can't wait to ruin my own little person someday. I've heard it's like having a disabled dog that slowly learns how to talk during rehabilitation. Sounds fascinating.

Huh, I swear I'm on the last planet (I'm fighting the big bad directly) but other than a couple of missions guest starring them, both Raynor and Kerrigan have been suspiciously absent. On another note, I absolutely love Alarak. Not only is he essentially a Sith Protoss (that even looks like Darth Vader got his helmet knocked off) he just exudes personality, thanks to John de Lancie (Q from Star Trek) voicing him and hamming it up to the max.

Cataclysm? Horde maturity hasn't been a thing since TBC, when all the vain and self-centered players flocked from Human and Night Elf to Blood Elves. No offense to Blood Elf players, there's a lot of good ones too, but you're kind of outnumbered by jerks. Which just balanced out how much jerks both factions got, I guess. As someone who used to play Horde exclusively but is now Alliance due to friends/guilds moving, it's just the general playerbase that sucks now. I'm enjoying the LotV campaign a lot more than the other two. Not focusing on that stupid Raynor/Kerrigan love story does this game a world of good. It's not Shakespeare or anything, but at least the stakes are high and I'm not always winning in the name of love - in fact, some of the story beats have the good guys lose again, like in good ol' Brood War.

That's because having a child literally brainwashes you into liking your child. Internet people go: Find me scientific evidence of my outrageous claim! Malc working for Google confirmed because only the Google CEO uses G+. Literally the only person on the internet that does, not even his other employees.

None of that so far, which is probably why it's better. Raynor has only had a perfunctory appearance as someone who needed Artanis to save his butt, and Kerrigan has yet to appear at all.

Story isn't even that bad so far. I'm about 7 missions in. Couple of massive surprises to me (click the spoiler if you want to know). But I'm sure Blizz will pull something ridiculous out of their ass again.

I've got it, but like you I'm not really into competitive multiplayer. Allied Commanders looks fun, though. It came out here 15 minutes ago, but Battle.net of course went down. I don't know what I expected. EDIT: Dragoons.

Hey now, Shammies represent (Ele Shaman here). I'm definitely a bit worried though, with getting a new resource mechanic and losing Multistrike as an Ele Shaman I have no idea how it's going to play. Shaman is scheduled for wednesday for a Class Preview on the WoW website, so I guess we'll see. If I don't like it I'll probably move to my Shadow Priest alt, since the changes to that sound badass.

Well, I'm excited for it haha. Class Halls sounds like only a minor feature, unlike Garrisons which was the core feature of WoD. Plus, in the Garrisons you send your followers to do awesome things you can't. The Class Hall sends your followers to discover new quests and awesome things for you. Sounds good to me.

Yeah, but that could just as easily mean they need someone to fix those games to work on modern computers or be battle.net capable. No reason to believe there'll be any new products.

Having a lot of fun with Ash vs Evil Dead.

Agreed. The orcs look like ten tons of muscle, and the humans seem like... humans. Not WarCraft, Arathorian Vrykul-descended humans but regular humans. Malc: Yes, this is all first war era. What exactly happened with the Frostwolves has always been unclear, they just expanded on it a little. Edit: Surprised they didn't announce some kind of RTS remake at BlizzCon. The movie would be a perfect way to reboot the series and carry on with the lore without having to deal with the clusterhump WoW turned it into.

To be fair, Bruce has a point and in fact Zoraptor and I continued our Star Wars back and forth in PMs two days ago, before he ever posted that to prevent further thread derailment. I do apologize, I would have steered it on topic even before that but I usually open up a bunch of topics at the same time to read in order and the amount of Star Wars talk confused me into thinking I was actually in the Star Wars topic and I responded accordingly. My bad. I don't consider it a big problem, since this thread always has ebbs and flows about other topics and it reached Star Wars rather organically through the "Disney is erasing the chainmail bikini from history" bit but I should have stepped in sooner. However, just because he was right doesn't mean he was in the right. The thing about it is that moderation is not the members' job to do and if you have a problem with something and think a moderator should step in, then send a PM to a moderator or use the report function. This even applies to when a moderator is already in the discussion - we're totally capable of disagreeing with each other. What he was even less in the right about is the naming and shaming of the members involved, and obviously people are already starting to respond in kind - which is exactly why we have moderators to do this. Now last time the discussion turned this way, I was more subtle about turning it away by just grabbing an already disproved scandal about holding back reviews to let a developer fix bugs, but honestly if this thread starts becoming a mass of ad hominem again I'm going to be less patient with it. As we moderators here like to say, tackle the ball and not the player. First Rami Ismail and now this. Why is this lie being perpetuated? There isn't a Fallout game where you can't play as a female. Hah, people patting developers on the back for changing nothing. Diversity success!

Dungeons as a plausible alternative to raiding as end-game content? Sign me up! Most of the WoD dungeons are awesome, it's just that we've got no reason to run them after we're geared up.

Overwatch pricing set. You get all the heroes and game modes but the base game costs 40 USD. Not too bad.
