hey, how did you manage to buy HoN? I tried with my cousins australian credit card, and failed. I checked on the HoN website, and they say they've specifically blocked purchases from Pakistan due to high incidence of fraud. How did you go about it? Or are you outside of Pakistan?

Some info for Dota players: Iccup, the famous, low latency ladder for Starcraft1 has started a Dota ladder as well. To learn more / to play, visit iccup.com. I tried it a couple of times with a friend of mine, and I liked it. Instead of having to alt tab in an out of the game, you do everything through the warcraft game interface. There are chat channels, friend lists, and game lists. The two times I tried playing, there were around 3000 players online, and getting a game going wasn't hard at all. The latency is comparable to garena, or maybe slightly better, its hard for me to be precise about this issue since its been a while since I played on garena.

Anyways, if any of you is playing Heroes of Newerth, leave your game names here, I'll add you and maybe we can play together :)

You would be better off buying Heroes of Newerth, since its better than DOTA in pretty much every way. FYI HoN is a game based on DOTA, and a lot of the heroes and items in it are direct ports from DOTA. Consider it an upgrade of DOTA. However, to buy HoN, you'll have to get a relative or friend outside of Pakistan to use a credit card to purchase it online for you. Once thats done, you can download the game and play, ie your relative wont have to parcel you anything, everything is done online.

If you cant buy HoN, and want to try out DOTA, just visit garenas website. They have all the information you need to get started. I'll give you an overview though: First, you need to have warcraft TFT installed, ie original game + expansion pack. Then you need to upgrade it to the patch people on garena are using, which is usually the latest one. After that, you need to download the DOTA map into your war3's map folder. You'll also need to install garena, specify the games path in its options, and use it to launch the game.

If you end up buying HoN, lemme know, we can play together :)

    BTW, i started Ghost of Tsushima, and it got me hooked within the first couple of minutes. I already know It's gonna be a memorable experience. This is how you make a proper Samurai game. Not that SJW game Ubisoft is making.

    That's still higher than it's total play length. A 5 hour campaign for a $50 game is downright scammy.

    Consoles were my main platform ever since Atari 2500. But now I think it's not worth it as PC especially with DLSS deliver far smoother performance. AW2 on console didn't even had ray tracing and ran below 30fps. Similar issues plagues DD2 on consoled.
    The cross gen era really made people think 60fps would be a new standard lol

    Welp, done with Hellblade 2. Thoroughly disappointed. Such a nothing burger after the unique experience of the first game.

    I have a PS5 but I am not satisfied with the experience. I am currently saving for a 4080 64 GB rig soon. Bit will wait for Pro if performance improves. This gen has been so bad I don't plan on buying consoles anymore for AAA gaming.

    As per WCCF Tech review, Xbox Series X doesn't even maintain a consistent FPS and sometimes drops into the mid-20fps range. That's unacceptable, tbh.

    Score 1 for game pass. I wouldn't pay full price for this at retail either.

    Just downloaded my first legit digital PC game on GoG at a discount of $8: Two Point Hospital. The same team behind Theme Hospital Two Point Studios now part of Sega. And I am having more fun than most recent AAA games except of course BG3.

    Still, I don't like either Sony or Microsoft as they are focusing more on corporate greed than delighting customers. PC gaming is best of gaming and worth every penny.

    PC Gamer score of 58/100 for Hellblade 2??? Is it really worse than Gollum that was 64/100? Microsoft games can't even come close to high scores of Sony exclusives apparently.

    About the Microsoft (and Sony) debate, I feel both have become too greedy and losing their minds over corporate greed. Personally, I will never buy any console next gen and switch to PC gaming where democracy reins.
