this should help http://www.purgegamers.com/welcome-to-dota-you-suck

im gonna keep working at it. seems like it will be seriously rewarding if i can get to a point where im not complete shit. a bit like counterstrike. my aim is gone on CS though, and i dont think its coming back. a 5 year break was too much, and game sense can only get you so far.

any recommendations for a fun hero to start off with?

It took me about 1000 hours to learn Dota and another 1000 to get any good. Another 800 to learn how to beat people with item builds alone. It is really rewarding and very frustrating. I also spent a lot of time watching professional matches to speed up my learning. If you watch a professional streamer play then you will learn things you will not learn anywhere else. It will also clue you in on the strongest builds, heroes, and strategies. (meta) If you always play tier 1 heroes your chances of winning will be a lot higher. Although, you should take advantage of the fact that at lower skill levels you can play almost any hero you want. That is something that you don't get to enjoy once you get High Skill/Very High Skill. (3900-6000 MMR)

With CS you have to understand that the aiming system is completely different than cs:s. It's all about standing still when you are firing now, or strafing and firing with proper timing. Also, the deagle is much different now and you have to slow down your fire rate to remain accurate.

REALLY USEFUL STUFF! ▼

MOUSE TWEAKS ▼
Mouse Sensitivity is determined by ►
1. In-Game Setting +
2. Mouse DPI (set in your Mouse's software options) +
3. Windows Sensitivity Slider if the game has no "Enable Raw Input" option (Control Panel - Hardware and Sound - Mouse - Pointer Options). Some say keep on 6th notch from left. I have on 5th as does Scream and others as seems to have no effect anymore.

Disabling Acceleration improves consistency for most people ►
1. Control Panel - Hardware and Sound - Mouse - Pointer Options - Uncheck "Enhance Pointer Precision"
2. Disable in Game Settings!
[NOTE] Some people used to use "MarkC Mouse Fix" to remove built-in windows acceleration. Personally think is just a placebo! (http://goo.gl/BnN0qF)

Grip (i.e. Palm / Claw / Fingertip) ►
- Just hold mouse however you feel is comfortable. High / Low Sensitivity plays a large part in which you prefer.

High vs. Low Sensitivity ►
- From using both: Low made me significantly more consistent and required less warm-up to be on target. Seemed more consistent across games with low as well. High lets you turn faster.
- 360 degree turn for me is 17.5 inches whereas high can be around 5 inches for 360 degree turn!

yeah ive still got great game sense, all the tweaks, basically know what im talking about, its just the fluid ability to lock onto peoples heads i seem to have lost. im not even sure i can actually be bothered practicing again either.

TBH counter-strike is pretty boring after I got into Dota 2, and the new style doesn't really help capture my interest. It's still fun to play from time to time though.

Hatoful Boyfriend is £3.50 on Steam.

...I'm buying it. ♥

Purge's tutorial "welcome to dota 2 you suck" has a small pick of heroes for beginners that are really fun and quickly rewarding. I've spent "only" 70 hours on DotA 2 but I really enjoy the game now, and the good thing is I know I'll enjoy it more and more every time I'll play it !

Also thanks for the Twitch links AdieuErsatzEnnui, will look after one of those players - never really watched professional players except during The International 4 but even then I really didn't understand shit to that game so it wasn't that enjoyable...

No problem man.

Off mining in Elite Dangerous in party mode with a chum earlier. We were shooting and scooping Palladium, making out like bandits.

The pidgeon dating sim?

one must have a special kind of irony to be able to play that

^ looks funnier than Goat Simulator to me, if we're speaking of animals-based games :p

Quite clearly game of the year material.

lol "do you feel the need for a storyline" leading to Limbo.

project cars/assetto corsa -finally got wheel and pedals set up to work with these 2 already great games,it made them 10 times better

elite dangerous-finally scraped enough credits to get a fast powerful ship,combat is proper tense,in between combat this game is beautiful,massive and strangely relaxing,and a serious time eater

alien isolation- anything but relaxing,the alien shock value holds up really well and its so immersive with the visuals and the use of sound,difficult too

Quite a few odd things about that video game chart. Final Fantasy Tactics can be played on mobile (and handheld) not just console. Okami has a lot more story than ICO (not necessarily better though, maybe that's what they meant). It's also strange that the "hardest game ever" is under the average reflexes route. Not that DMC3 is the hardest game ever anyway.

Sorry, I felt I needed to get that off my chest. I might be able to sleep tonight now.

Also, Grim Fandango is an option after choosing no to "want some of the best acting and plot" wtf??

DMC 3 is still fucking nails though.

Hatoful Boyfriend for £3.50? Sean pls.

that flowchart is nonsense. cod2014 is pretty fun. my first aaa ps4 game. was actually a bit surprised at the graphical leap from last gen. seemed to run at full frames when played split screen w/bros too.

Wow, I was just stoked to hear about the 100 new songs and graphics upgrade, but I had no idea how awesome the next-gen version of gta5 was going to be.

Also, I would guess that video game diagram I posted was made for fun.

Just my 2 cents but WATMM please don't support the new COD game, Kevin Spacey is prominently featured, and surely got a HUGE paycheck to do his mo cap. He's a well known chickenhawk, and barely escaped Singergate of this summer. He fucks underage boys as a habit, and I'm not sure why EA or ANY other outlet hasn't called him on this. AVOID!

What are you talking about? What's Singergate? Under aged boys?

Wow that first person view in GTA...

mind = blown

Can I avoid the Call of Duty game because it's a Call of Duty game instead?

And that GTA V PS4 box set sure does look alluring for Xmas.
