Hearthstone

Post by Forboding Angel »

I am loving this game. Takes all my favorite parts out of the TCGs I have played and puts them in one super fun package :-)

I'm streaming my attempts at not getting bearstomped tonight on my twitch channel ( http://www.twitch.tv/forbodingangel ). Should be interesting :-D

First impressions... Neat game. I'm worried about it becoming pay2win. I don't have much faith in Blizzard in this area.

The game itself is really neat though. I dislike the ability to attack the hero instead of creatures though. Imo, the ability to attack the hero directly takes away some of the strategy and tactics of the game.

Is this actually indicative of a games popularity? Does it fluctuate wildly? Maybe http://www.xfire.com/games?

It's in closed beta atm. So twitch is not really going to be a good indicator.

Shame the game is not designed to be played as a team.Not really interested in 1v1 matches.It's the reason i don't play sc2.

SC2 teamgames are fun, assuming that you don't take it seriously. SC2 is broken to shit in a million different ways, but as a game it works, albeit very strangely to some degrees.

SC 2 teamgames got nothing on spring games.

I completely disagree. Sc2 teamgames are much more smooth, and like or hate bnet, it is vastly superior to anything spring offers.

Games are effortless to get going with battlenet.

That said, for the budget spring has, what it has accomplished is astounding.

No, You just read my initial comparison between spring and SC2 and assumed the wrong things.

I have been wasting many hours daily on Hearthstone for about a week, I am greatly enjoying it.

If you haven't tried Hearthstone (or tried it and then left it) this would be a good month to try it again.

They are releasing a single player "campaign" in weekly instalments, the first is free but only until the end of the event... the others cost money or in game gold (so you could conceivably grind for it).
