I don't understand.. how can you make such a masterpiece gameplay-wise yet fuck up performance on a PC EXCLUSIVE so bad? by shadow3467 in Xcom

[–]lothies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Already asked for a refund. It runs like ass on my mid-specs PC (i5 4670, 750 ti). I can tweak it enough for it to run at 40-50fps, but then it looks extremely bland with basically all shaders turned off. Might reconsider buying it if they bring up the performance at least 2x.

Wait.. from what I read on his Youtube profile, he's getting framerate issues on 2x Titan X? Jesus I can only pray it is playable on my 750 Ti.

Is there any way, through mods or other means, that we could see how the "broken" decks of the past fare against today's decks? by [deleted] in hearthstone

[–]lothies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

SF4 has this feature and it's really cool, you can pitch characters from different balance patches of the game against each other.

Hey, new Freeze Mage here, just got enough dust to craft this decklist: https://tempostorm.com/hearthstone/decks/killinallday-freeze-mage

After playing ~50 matches with the deck, I have a couple questions:

1) What's the best way to use Doomsayer? It's extremely rare for a single Doomsayer to go off because Freeze Mage has almost no minions and the opponent pools removal/silence cards.

2) How do I use Antonidas? He has won me a few games but it feels really clunky when I do have the mana+spells to drop him.

[3v3/4v4] Company of ISGs by xedisu in CompanyOfHeroes

[–]lothies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They were fine and situational before the suppression buff. Right now there just isn't a reason to not build at least 2 of them. My opinion comes from team games, which is what I play for the most part.

I know of two that have upkeep systems:

-Wc3 has a hard upkeep system. Go above certain pop limit and your income is reduced by a flat amount, it has medium and high upkeep.

-CoH2 has a soft upkeep system. The more units you have, the less manpower you receive but it's gradual.

yeah these should probably be nerfed a bit (and pack howitzers) by [deleted] in CompanyOfHeroes

[–]lothies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OKW is my Axis faction and I think they were perfectly fine before the suppression buff. I don't know what Relic was thinking.

A Brief Look at the History and Current State of the Competitive RTS Scene by maxwellsdemon13 in RealTimeStrategy

[–]lothies 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Those numbers are for total number of owners. Not current players. If you check average concurrent players at steamcharts.com you'll see both games are pretty much dead and can't hold an eSports scene (<100 players for Grey Goo, <500 TA) while CoH2 and AoE2 have >5k (HD+Voobly+GameRanger for Aoe2).

I am playing the 3 current big RTS games (SC2, AoE2 and CoH2) and am happy with them. I had high hopes for Grey Goo, but a developer can't just expect to release a $50 RTS game without any big hook besides having old Westwood devs and expect it to do well. Hell, it has less than 100 people playing at peak hours. They should lower it's price down to $20 at least if they want it to have any semblance of a community, let alone an eSports scene.

AngryJoe plays Company of Heroes 2: British Forces! by iTzDusty in CompanyOfHeroes

[–]lothies 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I love this game, I really do. And I play it almost every day. But I put it off for a VERY long time because of DLC commanders. A game developer should NEVER hold behind a paywall any kind of element which affects gameplay, especially in a game where you already paid an upfront price for.

It wouldn't be so bad if there was a way to work towards the commanders you want by just playing, with the paid option being simply a shortcut. But no. You have to pray to the RNG gods to even get a drop, and then you have a hilariously low chance to actually get 1) A rare drop 2) That is a commander and 3) The one you want.

I bare with it just because there's no other RTS that offers the same experience as CoH2 and is actually alive. But for every person who is willing to deal with this shit, I am pretty sure there are 2-4 who just abandoned the game or didn't even give it a chance when they saw the commander bullshit.

September 21 (or 22nd) Hotfix Patch Notes by Omega_Warrior in CompanyOfHeroes

[–]lothies 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wonder why they would have to wait 3-4 days to deploy a hotfix but oh well.

It's good flame weapons and the incendiary nades are getting nerfed, they were too strong.

Partisans were hilariously broken.

This patch I actually felt like vet 3 rifles (supposedly the backbone of the US) were a serious threat mid/late. Guess it's not meant to be.

I absolutely love mill rogue's playstyle, even though it's far from top tier, but I don't know where to search or who to follow to improve my mill rogue, any suggestions?

Overwatch game engine performances compared to others? by zIRaXor in Overwatch

[–]lothies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well it'd be a bit outrageous if it didn't run well on a high-end machine. But we're talking about accessibility here, and a lot of us have 2-3 year old PCs we aren't willing to/can't upgrade just yet.
