Monster hunter seems so good but so weird, it's like you can do 1 million things but there's no main history or something like that. That's what i caught watching until now. Anyone planning on/already playing it?

I am playing it. It is a lot of fun. There is some weird UI stuff that is a bit of a pain, but the weapons are so over the top I can’t help but love it. And the monsters are fun to fight.

The main plot is "there is a big monster, we must capture it and reveal all the gameplay to you during that time."

It seems so good, games like this, upcoming god of war, horizon zero dawn and the last of us 2 makes me want to move to ps4 and be more casual. But switch also seems so attractive, and ultimately i'm on this personal quest to save money. So i guess i'll watch those being played by someone on youtube. Unless I surpass the savings goal for this year enough to buy a console + games.

Isn't Monster Hunter World getting a PC release, as well? I'd recommend waiting around for that if you don't have a PS4, but would like to try the game.

edit: just checked, it's coming out in Autumn 2018, but I don't know anything about the requirements.

I feel like you would somehow still manage to make friends with some VN loving people and it would backfire in a really weird way.

They won’t be that bad, but I would be concerned with whatever match making back end it ends up using. That and kinda bad PC ports, since Capcom likely isn’t dumping money into it.

The game on PS4 is fine, IMO. Like Bloodborne and Dark Souls, you can play multiplayer with people if you want to, or just do it all on your own. But its really fun to just jump in and respond to SOS flares for specific monsters. That is how I farmed up a couple good weapons.

And my god, the weapons are so stupid. The bagpipe hammer is so stupid. Yet the animation for playing it is amazing. Your character is so into the jam you are putting down, buffing all the team mates.. It makes me want to use that screwball weapon and be the hero every SOS flare wants.

Yeah that's probably what would happen. And then Faruko would be left out.

I missed the shockingly reasonable AUI blog about ESL. Good points were raised and I think there isn't enough discussion about how TOs make money and remain viable(profitable).

ESL posted what amounts to an apology on reddit (carefully worded by their lawyers to avoid any admissions of legal guilt regarding DMCA etc) and everybody just wants that Ulrich Schulze guy's head on a platter lmao (and/or his own personal apology etc but u know)

Looking at the numbers I can actually see that over 45 million people came to the streams via FB ads, with many more coming from being featured on interfaces like Facebook Watch - so they definitely put a lot of ads behind it (although a brunt of it in SEA)


I think there may be something wrong with their data gathering methods.

Sounds like "Scrolled past an ad for the stream" = "Came to the streams via FB ads" lul

And many more, so like 100 million people went to the stream from Facebook Watch.

That is only avaible in the US.

And just why are they bringing Swiss into a Dota Major.

Swiss was used at Kiev already, though only for seeding. I'm pretty baffled why PGL is running only one game at a time, forcing the groups to be bo1 instead of bo3. They use 4 days for groups and each team plays only 1 game per day.

i put it up in a thread. There still seem to be some people who come to ld before they come to r/dota2 so I figure there's no harm in cross posting that sort of message.

For seeding it really doesn't matter. It's seeding.

This is exactly like the CSGO major. Bo1 Swiss into single elim is bad.

Plus Dota has the huge advantage that viewers have already accepted multiple games at the same time, you can do much better than this.

I don't really mind Swiss for groups compared to the 4x4 GSL groups that several majors used. But seems to me that you definitely should run bo3s, it's not like they are pressed for time with their 4 day groupstage.

I'm honestly glad that we are seeing some events that aren't GSL groups (not that I have a problem with GSL groups, just that ENDLESS gsl groups gets lame), but Bo1 non-concurrent 5 round swiss is not really my cup of tea either. It would be a lot more bearable if it didn't cut half the teams and then launch into terrible single elim playoffs

Like playoffs should objectively be double elim, groups I think there's a lot of space for experimentation. Hell, double elim lets you have a lot more fun with a swiss system (say 3-0 teams get upper bracket & choice, 3-1 teams get upper bracket, etc. You can craft a system that works)

They have time to do something like 2 big groups. Don't even have to do Bo2s, Bo1s can work with that many teams.

There isn't even a panel. Just the games.
