    I dunno, I had iPhone in my hand for app development, and I wanted to shoot it out of the cannon into the sun.

    You have to understand the thinking process behind the UI, and it’s not ‘intuitive’ to everyone.

    And I just couldn’t use it, it drove me crazy.








  • Unfathomable hands down.

    It requires 3-6 people for well over two hours (longest was around 5h).

    Constant attacks from the sea creatures trying to destroy your ship. With traitors.

    But it’s so engaging and fun. There is enough depth for replayability, lots of variation, there is always something happening, and players interact a lot, so there aren’t boring parts just watching someone go off with their turn.

    There was recently an expansion, adding lots of variety and more depth.

    Almost everyone who played once wanted to try it again. If you can find people who have the time, they will not walk away until it’s over. And will think about how to play differently the next time.




  • League of Legends is a pet peeve of mine, since one bad person took down DotA forum, stole ideas from it, created LoL, and acted like a big shot. He wasn’t alone, but you know what I mean.

    To this day I think that Blizzard hates esports, because they left DotA with 0 support, and only after many years of Dota 2 they created Heroes of the Storm, which was even more watered down than LoL.

    And LoL is such a simple game, which is OK, but once you actually understand Dota, it doesn’t come anywhere close. It brought nothing innovative. Which is sad.

    Source: I played hundreds of hours, and put hundreds of dollars into LoL back in the ~2010.
