Magearna has been unlocked with the release of this QR code; players who have completed the main story can scan it using the QR Scanner in the X Menu and pick up Magearna from the Hau'oli City Mall.

This particular code is for North America only, but other codes should follow shortly.

I'm sure everyone is knee deep in Sun & Moon right now, but the next generation 6 anniversary event, Meloetta, has started in Europe and will follow shortly in North America

Just got back into this game on my new PC. Anytime I look at a player and their nametag pops up, my game's FPS drops to like 5. Google is yielding no results. The game is definitely easy enough to run by my PC by a long shot.

outdated hud?

honestly i think they should get rid of symmetra and zarya 1v1s

they're frustrating and boring

zarya for sure, she only gets like 4 energy max because the other person instantly knows to cease fire so all that ends up happening is you both activate your shields and then have a tickle fight for the next 90 seconds

symmetra at least has the potential to be interesting, if you can avoid one person sitting in a room with their turrets

Thanks for the help.

...Though, after I got a few more money in the steam wallet, I ended up buying BOTH! Problem being, Payday 2 is allegedly 30 gigabytes, without DLC. Crap. It better be worth it.

30GB is pretty average for a semi-modern AAA game

Doom is just over 60

I played the whole game without Exp Share because I wanted the game to be harder and to be forced to use my whole team instead of just one good member

It accomplished both of those

I like 1v1 because if I lose, it's my own fault. If I win, it's because I played better than my opponent. I've learned that even Bastion and Symmetra have at least some depth in 1v1s, and I didn't even play it that long. Though I tend to enjoy solo games over team games, no matter how bad I may be at them. (e.g. Boid, Duelyst, Blade Symphony, Lethal League)

I'm all for that, it just feels really stupid when you get someone like Zarya or Winston and you just kind of awkwardly flail around in front of each other hoping you hit them slightly more than they did, or you get someone like Torbjorn or Bastion and spend 5 minutes playing hide-n-seek

I explored the rest of the arcade and I really didn't like it

1v1 mystery heroes sucks because most of the heroes really aren't designed to go head-to-head and the whole thing is too stressful to be any fun

6v6 mystery heroes just feels like you got shafted by luck whenever you lose

6v6 no limits seems to exist exclusively to cater to the type of people who want to do 3 bastions, 2 winstons, and a healer

I guess I'll be sticking to 3v3 for my free loot boxes

Kind of a late start but a lot of online deals are going to be going on through the weekend, Steam prices will probably go lower during the holiday sale but there are lots of things on amazon and other sites that are really good right now

So yeah, anyone found any particularly good deals today? I was looking through PCGamer's list and noticed the new Doom for like $18, so that's definitely a given for me

I was thinking about Titanfall 2 for $28 too but I'm not sure how good it is, any opinions?

yo, big pokemon fan here. last game was black and white, and then someone bought me black and white 2 but i never beat it. is this new one good enough to merit buying a 3ds? i really want to get back into the pokemon world

I haven't enjoyed a Pokémon game quite like I have with Moon since Silver came out in 1999

Is it worth buying a 3DS for? Personally I don't think buying a console exclusively to play one game is ever a good idea, but if there are other games in the 3DS library that you can see yourself playing in the future then it's probably a good buy

There are definitely some things they could've done better for evolution, the placement of the "electric area" was very poor considering its necessity for Vikavolt

I'm also incredibly pissed at how they handled Jangmo-o's levels, they really didn't think that through at all

Just beat the game, Olivia was deceptively tough for someone who uses a type with so many weaknesses like you guys were saying and the champion was probably the most intense and difficult NPC battle I've ever had in a Pokémon game, though that was most likely all thanks to not using the Exp Share

I'm going to have to say that this was the second best Pokémon game I've ever played next to Silver

My problem is literally Olivia's Relicanth, it's so loving annoying.

you want her to have just pure rock types? I don't think that many even exist

I think it's ridiculous that the standard edition isn't on sale and that "40% off" only brings the origins edition down to $5 less

Blizzard REALLY wants to sell those origins editions
