Lebrons is the most overrated player in sports history. Good but not what the league makes him out to be.

Lol, the Cavs are in the finals solely because of him. Did you see how they looked every time he went out of the game? If anything he's actually underrated. He has 4 MVP awards but he's really been the MVP for 7-8 years in a row now. Just like Jordan he's been robbed of it several times by voters that hate voting for the same guy every year.

What a great game but the Cavs should have won this game given how well Lebron played. Curry played great down the stretch.

I hope Irving's ok.

Irving ain't OK. He's been hobbled throughout the playoffs. He looked pretty good in this one for a while because of the week long rest but it was only a matter of time before it flared up again.

Yeah, James was great but with Love out completely and Irving injured he just doesn't have enough to beat this team that can get out of just about any situation with a few jumpshots.

PG: Rajon Rondo

SG: Kobe Bryant

SF: Corey Brewer

PF: Kevin Love

C: Jalil Okafor

6th man: Julius Randle

Championship....

Not a championship contender, but a possible 7 or 8 seed in the West.

Much better than they've been over the last 2 years.

Are u kidding me? They could easily dismantle the Warriors with that line up.

Curry> Rondo slightly

Kobe> Klay

Brewer > Barnes

Love > Green

Okafor = Bogut

I think you're overestimating Rondo by quite a bit.

Sucks that Cleveland is so banged up going into this. Love out completely, Irving on one leg ... Even healthy Golden State would be the favorites but with some of his best teammates hobbled this is a very tall order for James and the rest of the Cavs. I agree that it's the teams people likely wanted to see but not like this, a healthy Cleveland would be a lot better. Got a feeling James is gonna be 2-4 in finals appearances after this. If Cleveland were healthy I'd give them a 40% chance of beating GS. But with them beat up the way they are I put it at around a 25% chance.

I disagree about Golden State being the most fun team to watch. They are a team that lives on the perimeter and those are the least interesting teams to watch imo. Anybody can get good at shooting 3s if they practice it enough, even some out of shape guy with a beer gut that smokes a pack of cigarettes everyday. The most entertaining teams are the ones with great athletes. Guys like Lebron, MJ, and Dwyane Wade back in his prime are/were infinitely more fun to watch than GS's wings firing up 3s all night long. Not saying shooting 3s ain't effective, cuz it is, but it's far from the most entertaining style to watch ... to me anyway.

The only thing that disturbs me is the lack of detail on the face/hand and lack of wrinkles in the clothes. It just doesn't look right for a current gen game. I can forgive the dog for looking like a solid block of marble. Hell, Skyrim on last gen consoles had better character models.

I get that it's an open world game and all, but I just expected a NEW ENGINE. As long as Bethesda released screen shots occasionally, I wouldn't have minded Todd Howard and his coworkers learning a newer engine and slating FO4 for a late 2016-mid 2017 release window.

Oh well, I hoped Todd Howard and Bethesda atleast learned something about proper storytelling and choice from FNV. My guess is they didn't.

Yeah, that hand is pretty shocking looking for a AAA game nowadays.

I wouldn't mind having downgraded graphics if it means we get a stable 60 fps and an overall better performance.

I really doubt it'll be 60 fps on consoles. The types of games Bethesda makes don't need that kind of framerate. They're about openness, exploration, and vastness ... don't need a high framerate to enjoy those types of things and I just don't see them putting in the extra work to deliver it when it really isn't necessary in the first place. A STEADY and CONSISTENT 30 fps would be damned nice though ... something almost none of the supposedly 30 fps games as of late are delivering.

I've watched the trailer around 3X and I think the environments look pretty good. It's the character models that need work. But regardless of what it ends up looking like I think the majority of us will love the game.

I agree that The Witcher 3's main strengths are in its absolutely top-notch writing, storytelling, roleplaying, questing, monster design, world-building and graphical design. Those aren't really up for debate - CDPR did an incredible job with this game.

Let's lay this myth to rest though: The Witcher 3's combat...is actually pretty excellent. The enemies are varied and attack ruthlessly in packs. The parrying, counter-attack, and dodging system work extremely well with a little practice. The targetting system is excellent once you actually know how to play the game. The spellcasting options are fun, and can be mixed and matched to create your own interesting combat tactics.

Overall...I honestly can't think of too many real-time RPGs with better combat. Sure, there's the Souls series...but little else. The Witcher 3 certainly has better combat than anything Bethesda has ever made, and anything Bioware has made since BG2. Perhaps Kingdoms of Amalur, but that game was weak at everything except for combat...

Anyway, short version? It's a wonderfully skill-heavy combat system that is difficult to master - but plays *very* well when you get the hang of it.

See, this was actually the case with Witcher 2. And I know people like to complain about the combat of Witcher 2 but I don't think they gave the game enough time. One thing I heard about it all the time is "Geralt controls like a tank." Only at first. As you level up he gets more and more agile until eventually the game gets pretty damned easy combat-wise. It didn't do the "Just add more damage numbers" with leveling that some games do. He got much, much more spry in his movements as you advanced.

MS announces they've invented the time machine and that if you turn your X1 on you'll discover it's suddenly the 2.5 tflop machine it always should have been.
