Duels of the Planeswalkers topped out with the 2012 version. It's been downhill from there, despite the added ability to customize your decks.
Example - there are things called encounters. It's not you fighting someone else so both sides' cards can be shown and you can see cool stuff.
It's just you versus a set scenario, like say two bigass hydras that get stronger and stronger every single round. And IF you manage to kill those two, more hydras come out and the scenario repeats, so it's you playing hydra crowd control while trying to whittle the opponent's life away.
Also, to get all the cards for 2015, you have to do multiplayer. That was their backup after initially charging people real money for digital booster packs.
So yeah....2012 is your best best.
Mortal Kombat isn't bad (at least on consoles), but Shao Kahn will forever be a cheap bitch that takes a couple hundred attempts to beat (and odds are you won't even feel great about that since you have to fight cheese with cheese in order to keep him from stomping your ass into the ground).

Patience young grasshopper, it's bound to show up in a daily deal sooner or later.

I figure that'd get a few thousand viewers at least. But I can't say no and I have to show up for the interview, for a job that I have less than 1% chance of getting and that even if I get, I don't know if I really want (want, is different from need).

Well living 6 months over there might not be an interesting experience. Even if its a forgotten middle of nowhere hole in the ground.

I'm mostly inmune to the lures of DLC. I did buy the fallout ones when they went on sale, and that's about it. I have Dark Souls and I haven't bought the DLC, because I refuse to pay triple what I paid for a game for what is basically a side mission. I bought the Arkham city GOTY edition. And after playing the extra campaign my face could have been used for a reaction image. You miss absolutely nothing buying the vanilla edition. Plus I don't like score attacks, so the predator challenges bored the hell out of me.

Of course current DLC practices, mean the combined DLCs end up being time and half as long as the main game. Or rather, selling the game in installments.

I miss Hero Quest too. Some of my friends have very fond memories of it as well.

I figure it'll wait since I've been stupidly updating my other wishlist, finding the few items I actually want or have a curiosity about, and quite a few are cheaper than 6.79.
If it turns out to ultimately be something favorable to you, I hope you get it. If it turns out to be something that isn't favorable, I hope you at least manage to find enjoyment in the ride and find something that actually works for you.

Also, wasn't impressed with the Harley Quinn crap in Arkham City either. I liked the way it ended, the whole thing felt extremely tacked on. (Also also, looking around a gigantic industrial area for frigging balloons that aren't marked? To hell with that.) They could've expanded on the Catwoman stuff and I think it'd have turned out far, far better.

Used to own Heroquest and one of the supplemental boxes. Hell, used to own Warhammer Quest. But Heroquest was the first, so seeing a full-on digital version of that with multiplayer (yes, I actually said that, totally blaming GOG people for making me give a damn about such things) would be pretty great.

I suspect it will be coming back again, eventually. And the first Keane game is still here.

In the meantime, I’m slowly working my way through GoG, getting some classics and oddities here and there that I’ve wanted for a long time, and install every game I get to at least play the tutorials or first few levels.

I’ve only recently picked up Arcanum and Anachronox, which are high in my backlog priorities to play all the way through.

It is amusingly amazing, in how many hours of gameplay we can get out of those 1 gig or less downloads, compared to the 7 to 10 hours out of some of the new 25 gig (or more) sized games today.:D

I have come to utterly loathe Magic the Gathering for a variety of reasons, some of them, completely unrelated to the game itself. Point is, I hate it. Despite that, taking a step back, calming down and keeping my khornate impulses in check. I still see no incentive to play a bloody card game on the computer.

And yet the millions of people playing hearthstone disagree with me.

Mortal Kombat's gimmick was the blood and digitized real characters, outside of that, it was never that good of a fighting game.

I was able to get to Goro just by spamming flying high kick.

Carrion's opinion is a bit more in depth and reasoned, feel free to ignore mine.

Thanks Carrion, I'll probably take the train. No point driving there if I'm going alone, specially with gas prices being what they are.

Hey, man, that's, like, a completely unfair assessment of current-gen games....
I mean, Call of Mediocrity NEEDS that larger size, so it can fit in all the prettiness! And explosions! And shooting! It takes a lot of gigs to get stories so shallow and meaningless!
(Okay, Kevin Spacey kicks all kinds of ass. But I'm still not buying one of those things. Not even for him....)

Hrmm... that's sad to hear. Always been interested in trying to get into MTG but i've never had an opportunity IRL since i don't know anyone that plays it. Maybe i'll pick up the 2012 version if it comes on sale or appears in a humble bundle.

I don't mind being cheesy in fighting games. I cheesed the hell out of Tekken 3 with Eddie Gordon, Heihachi and Marshall Law. They had cheap combo's that could stun lock the opponents. XD

Especially Eddie Gordon. That character was awesome. >.>

That's my main complaint with DA: Origins. I missed out on a lot of content because i didn't want to buy the many dlcs. Only got two DLc's that i got from buying the game; Shale and the dragon armour set.

Well hello there. Today is Skyrim's turn, who didn't see that coming?

Btw, considering my opinion on DLC. Are they worth it?

The only DLC I have truly enjoyed are the fallout ones. I did get the GOTY for Red Dead, and... well Undead Nightmare is good and all. But I never felt: "Oh my God, I'm so glad I got this version".

Hrrrm missed killer is dead it and now I'm slightly regretting it. Specially considering how much fun I had with lollipop chainsaw. Yes it was a silly game, but it was silly in a fun way. It'sbiggest problem though, no replayability at all. Unless you're into score attack challenges.

Yes, definitely, the only greater pleasure would be to inhale the fumes of your own car's exhaust pipe.

I guess i'm one of those Heartstone players that disagree with you. :P

It's free so gave it a try and i find it pretty good. I mostly create wacky, original/gimmicky decks and see how far i can get with it. Actually been doing quite well with some of them and i'm looking forward to try the new gnome vs goblins cards.

The millions of people playing Hearthstone evidently aren't acquainted with the term "pay-to-win".
Also, Blizzard can piss off in general. After Diablo 3, they get to sit with Bethesda in the "no money for you assholes" corner.

Actually, you just said what I did, only more succinctly. Cheese your way to victory before the AI does the same, only harder, then vent your frustrations by nailing them with a fatality.
Course, based on all this, you'd pretty much have, what, one to three playable characters by this point? Given that everyone violently murders everyone else at the end of matches? Who the hell would be left twenty years later?
Oh, logic....you know just how to shit all over the nonsense I used to enjoy as a child. -laughs-

You're welcome. =)

Heartstone isn't "pay-to-win". It is "pay-for-convenience". Big difference. If you're skilled enough you can get to legend ranks with only the basic cards and you can get a lot of gold from daily quests/arena wins to get the rarer and better cards. (Also requires a bit of luck to get legendaries in boosters too)

Really isn't that hard of a game to win and have fun with.

How does Mortal Kombat plays compared to Tekken or Skullgirls though? Those are my only comparisons for fighting games. Never played Soul Calibur and i haven't played any Street Fighter games since the Amiga, so hard to compare it to that. XD

I see your Arcanum, and raise you a Dune II. Five megs, tens of hours; and I still play it and find it sincerely enjoyable.

FUKKEN' WORMS EATING MAH HARVESTER! Just you wait until I get missile launchers.

When I played it, if you wanted to do ranked play, you needed a whole lot more high-end cards. They put gold acquisition via gameplay to a broken crawl while rolling out the (big surprise) get more cards for real money angle.
No surprise there, they got as many people hooked as possible, then brought out the microtransactions.
Gotta LOVE the modern games industry.

If you enjoy it, that's great. To me, it was just another company wanting to nickel and dime me into the ground.

Deleted it, deleted Battle.net, and unless I run out of other games to buy so I end up getting Starcraft 1 on disc from Amazon, not touching their stuff again.

Never played much Tekken, Soul Calibur or Skullgirls, so I couldn't do a comparison there. From what I did play, it doesn't stack up to Street Fighter gameplay-wise, to be sure. The controls weren't nearly as responsive.

It's not the pay2win that annoys me. After all the original card games winning strategy was; "spend whole wads of money on booster packs until I get enough overpowered rares to beat the crap out of my oponnent... until the next expansion." It's just that... it's a freaking card game, why are you playing it on the computer? I honestly see no appeal. I'd rather sit down in front of the actual person and shuffle read cards.

Skullgirls is a very good 2D fighting game, Tekken is an excellent 3D one. The way you play both are completely different. Choose your favorite poison.

Have you seen THIS rabbity thing?
