PC gets another AAAE Exclusive

From 2009

DOTA 2 who?

Great.

I played Dota 2, horrible game imo

It was a challenge to even get past the character select screen

@Davekeeh: Welcome back!

Ready to rustle some jimmies? >=/

MOBA, sorry broseph.

I think that says more about your mental age than it does the game.

Also LoL at this thread.

Game is hard therefore horrible. So much for Demon's Soul and Dark Souls, ey?

What I meant was that it was difficult to get past the character select screen because I was already bored with the game at that point

Boom! Goes the dynamite.

Yeah, I think my comment still applies then, do you often get bored on menu screens? Maybe they should put more flashing lights on there to keep you alert, perhaps a little mobile that dangles in the top corner and when you click on it the wee stuffed farm animals move around, would that manage to hold your attention long enough for you to get past 3 whole menu screens?

finally GS is reviewing many PC gems that go unreviewed, PC has the most games every gen by far. (quality games aaa-aa that is)

This was already reviewed but it was a review of the boxed version from years ago, so it was a pretty smart choice for their new extra opinion thing (although they should really swap this for the original review since it's actually based on the current game)

I wonder if we'll ever get a review of Chivalry: Medieval Warfare or Ro2: Rising Storm

I prefer DotA 2.

I'm glad they did re-review it, but the review itself sounds like it was written by a fan who finds DOTA 2 too hard. Also one who will deny that there is a stale meta and that a lot of champions don't share the same spells.

LoL is the most played game in the world, and is the game that profits the most in the world, I'm pretty sure Riot released data that showed it made more money then all of console gaming combined.

lol you consider Demon's Souls hard.

Isn't LoL coming to the Xbox?

First time I agree with you.

Dota 2 is a horrible game.

Ha, Wasdie has jokes.

Leave Dave alone with his movie games. It's best for us he sticks with Playstation.

Let the real gamers play actual games.

@lightleggy: Same, Dota 2 is way too rough around the edges.

League is just a more casual version of Dota.

Ugh MOBAs.

LoL is trash but then again most casual games are trash.

LoL feels like a watered down version of Dota that looks less tectonically impressive than Dota 2. The main advantage I can think of is the larger community which can be a double edged sword.

Every time someone talks about it, I always say I'll give it a try.... It just never happens though.

@Wasdie I remember reading that somewhere last earlier this year. Must have gotten scrapped..

We should probably decide on which scores count towards the meta game. We can either take the average (I think thats a bad idea), we can take the first score or we can take the best score (both which are good ideas imo). This needs to be decided soon before SW goes crazy as soon as a major game is reviewed and McShea throws a curveball review ala Bioshock Infinite lol

Not an RTS, try again.

lolMOBAs

It saddens me that while PC gaming has such a large library of choices and incredible games, it's crap like this that dominates the playtime and makes up the majority of the audience.

This ladies and gentleman, is a game that gets played by more than 35 MILLION people on a monthly basis. And its 4 years old. Absolutely incredible.

Or maybe it's a fun game that millions of people enjoy. But that can't be it.

This game is 4 years old? Why is Gamespot just reviewing it now? lol!!

They gave a 6.5 to the boxed version of the game in 2009. Now that it's free to play, has over 100 characters, and many other new features it's definitely worth a re-review.

Again, PC doesn't have generations. I think people are confused about what "Next Generation" actually means.

Definition of Next Generation - "The next cycle in console gaming hardware. " Game consoles have 8 generations.

PC's have a facet of parts that have their own individual generations. For example Nvidia & ATI have their generation of graphics cards. AMD and Intel have their own generation of CPU's. Same goes with sound cards, monitors etc... So a PC could have a 9th generation graphics card, a 11th generation sound card, a 5th generation monitor, a 12th generation motherboard and a 6th generation CPU in it. Because it's not a stagnant system, there no way the PC will ever have generations. The IPhone, IPad and IPod all have generations.

You can see all 8 generations here. --> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_game_console

I still prefer Dota, but I wish Valve would make more cinematic cutscenes like LoL.

@blackace: But this is System Wars so the PC has to go by Console gens.

pretty much none of that is relevant in the SW meta game

Only time I played LoL was in a room with a bunch of people my age screaming at each other. Can't get into it.

Lol at LoL. Terrible game, too casual.

Wolf among us is pretty good too. It released like today.

As a PC gamer/intellectual superior, I like the fact that this game sexualizes females by having armor unfit for combat. Believe me, I love realism (this is why I don't understand console gamer's obsession with open-ended games), but not at the cost of missing an opportunity to objectify females.

wth?

LoL has always been free to play
