As a result, DotA 2 is overwhelming for newcomers. Playing the game is like learning a new language. Nothing really makes sense, and the terms and strategies don't really carry over from any other game (except other MOBAs). Like Counter-Strike , this game has a large pre-established player base that will probably be toxic to newcomers from the get
CS:GO predecessor Counter-Strike Source also gave players the opportunities to create their own Surf Maps. Thanks to Source improving on the game’s graphics and providing more flexible settings, a lot of Surf Maps stuck with Source . Classic options such as gimped surfing and bunnyhopping added a new level of thrill to Surf in Sour
Over the last few weeks, many people simultaneously came forward accusing ItsSliker of defrauding them out of significant amounts of money. Contacting friends, other streamers, and long-term fans, Sliker asked for various sums of money over the course of several years under the false pretenses of a locked bank account and the desire to pay the loan back with interest. Never paying back any of his victims, Sliker would instead use the funds to extend what he described as a serious gambling addiction, in which he fell into a self-destructive spi
The game originally came out in 1999 as a Half-Life mod and in 2000 as separate retail. That's over a decade! The potential of what a new release would look like seems amazing in terms of graphics, mechanics and the all-around evolution of video games since then. I know I'm not alone, there's even a Facebook group devoted to the ca
Following intense subsequent pressure from the community on what was already a longstanding controversy, Twitch has banned most forms of gambling from the service , with the aforementioned crypto-gambling giant Stake.com being a named company that is no longer welcome on the streaming platform. This is enormous news for the company considering just how popular gambling streams are on the service, with streamers and fans on both sides of the argument continuing in intense deb
Non-game related gambling remained rampant on the Twitch service despite the aforementioned controversy, with gambling content quickly rising to be one of the most popular topics on Twitch in recent years. With the rise of cryptocurrency coming hand-in-hand with increased attention on gambling on the Twitch platform, the marriage of the two controversial subjects seemed like an inevitability to many view
Some competitive multiplayer games are tough for newcomers to get into. This can be because of the complexity of the game, or the toxic gatekeeping of the established community. While many development studios are trying to make their games as widely accessible as possible, there are still some that are an absolute grind for new players to le
Office is a hostage rescue map that is considered great for many reasons. First of all, Office might be the most balanced map in CS: GO , meaning neither attackers nor defenders have an advantage. Eliminating the other team may prove to be difficult because of the map's various hallways. Best played through competitive mode, Office provides many path options. Securing all hallways leading to hostages is critical for the defending team. Office is exceedingly popular and has been remade four times since the first Counter-Strike g
Since the launch of the first Surf Maps, a fringe community of casual players became quite avid fans of the concept. The idea of Surf Maps moved on from Counter-Strike 1.6 and even made its way to other games. Some games with Surf Mods incl
I would love to see a refresh or a next installment of Counter-Strike . I played a metric ton of the game in it's heyday, and the fact that it still thrives online via Steam should be a tell-tale hint that a sequel would be nothing short of a rock-solid i
For CSGO Operation Broken Fang context, Team Fortress and Counter-Strike started as fan-made Half-Life spin-offs that Valve eventually roped into its own official library; fans and mods have always been at the epicenter of Valve’s business model. With how integral the community has been to Half-Life throughout its history, it’s no surprise that the scene is still thriving despite the lack of official content.
My choice would have to be Final Fantasy 7 - PART 2! It may sound strange, but something along the lines of a Final Fantasy 7 video game sequel would be awesome. Final Fantasy 7 had a great story, great leading hero in Cloud, and a fascinating supporting cast in Red XIII, Aeris, Baret, Vincent (who even received his own spin off), Cid, and Cait Sith. To cap it all off an all time classic bad ass villain in the form of Sephr
After all the money Final Fantasy 7 made you'd figure Square Enix would continue this story in another video game. A CGI movie sequel, Final Fantasy: Advent Children, came out years later , but that was never good enough for me. That’s a different medium. I want to see a video game sequel. I mean Street Fighter 2 had how many sequels before we saw part 3? Square could have done the same. I think Square dropped the ball on that one. It's not like it would have been difficult to do. Final Fantasy 7 screamed for a sequel, I thou
