The only thing they need to mess around with is dropping the always on thing for single players and home lan players. Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn otherwise. (Walks into sunset with million dollar mustache)Andy Chalk said:
Then people would be whining "Waah, Blizzard is like EA, pretty much releases a Diablo every year, what is next? Diablo 2012? Fucking sellouts, Waaah." So really, you can't please everyone. I am, for one, willing to take as long as it takes to recieve the kind of quality and experience I've learned to know and love from Blizzard games..Jessta said:

So it does have a cost.

Since you asked a simple question I give a simple answer
.My internet hasn't been off more than a couple days in years. They are doing it to protect their auction house and the integrity of the game, if they succeed I don't mind, if they fail I will be sure to criticize
. But not much since I don't care here.BUT It made more sense to me for them to just make offline characters mean nothing, like Dungeon Defenders does.
Yeah, the DRM is just a dealbreaker for me. The fact that they're removing a lot of the more in depth stats just kind of turns me off the game.Andy Chalk said:
I'll probably just get Torchlight 2 for my low priced, light on stat mechanics, splatter some monsters, pulpy fun. I'd rather have Steam DRM than Blizzard's.
I feel like D3 is really just a huge way for blizzard to make an paid auction house that they'd love to put into WoW but would cause a massive exodus if they did.
yeah, as in, it's a WASTE of my FUCKING Time. unnecessary bullshit, they should just remoe it all together if they are going to do that.theultimateend said:
So the problem here is they didn't give you enough hoops to jump through.Darkmantle said:
I can't say that I've ever met someone before that had a specific minimum number of hoops they required before something was "unnecessary bullshit".
I think they mean more literally than a personal opinion.FelixG said:
WoW might not be your cup of tea but by no metric outside of an individuals opinion does it "suck".
Generally things that suck don't go on to make millions of dollars. Generally.
On the 6-hour-trainride I had last sunday, ie while travelling, which is the exact time I'd dearly like to play my single player games. Just because you only game at home doesn't mean everyone else will, too. And if you don't mind always-online, fine, but it's a valid criticism for a whole bunch of people, and they have the right to say so.TitsMcGee1804 said:
Oh, and STOP ACCUSING OTHERS OF LYING WITHOUT VALID DATA TO BACK THAT CLAIM!!!11oneoneeleven
And you are demonstrating right now why some people don't want to play with random people. But I guess your view on the topic is the only valid one, so what do I know?
Get off you high horse. Always on DRM is a serious problem for a lot of people. Don't call people liers. Grow up.TitsMcGee1804 said:
Where I live internet is not as stable as where you live. A workmate has had no internet(sufficent for gaming) for seven months. Not for any reason other than he had to move because of his job and his house doesn't have a land line. No land line = no internet. He is a gamer. No multiplayer games for him at all. No always on DRM single player games for him either.
Oh god no, change = simplification = consoles = suck.
Sense some people didn't see the sarcasm last time let me just say this. That was sarcasm.

I don't know about you guys, but after being excited for quite a while and preordering the game almost 2 years ago my interest starts dropping more and more.
Too much time has passed since I got into the mood for 'Diablo 3' and I fear that almost everything we'll get in the end will be a huge case 'And this took them 12 years?'.

Know what I like? I like that they aren't still dicking around with finishing the main story and quest line, but instead are completely tweaking and perfecting the actual gameplay and core mechanics. This way, they aren't shipping a broken, shitty ass game, and subsequently calling 90% of their users pirates.
Patience is a virtue, especially in the gaming world. If every company took the time to polish their games instead of hanging onto an arbitrary deadline then we wouldn't have to worry about things like "waiting for patches" or "game-breaking bugs". Diablo 2 had what, two, three patches? And most of those just added stuff. Meanwhile Bethesda games have seven or eight patches that have to fix bugs a mile long.
This is how we demand better of video game companies, by being patient and saying, "Take your time to make sure your game works. We can wait" instead of "GOD if I don't get it NOW I'm not gonna care!"
And please don't compare this to Half-life 3. Last I checked, Half-life 3 doesn't even have a logo or even confirmation it's being worked on, let alone a freakin' beta.

Eh, not much excited for Diablo III. I could never get into the series, but the games were good. Just not my kind of game. A classic Example of "Blizzard time is Blizzard time".
I'm so damn tired of waiting for this game. Close to saying "Fuck you, Blizz." and refuse to buy it, but I know I will no matter how much they hurt me.
