It's only hypocrisy if he buys the game. Just because you believe in that comic so wholeheartedly doesn't make it true for EVERYONE! I will stay far away from this game and future Blizzard games. I already regret buying Starcraft 2. So I sold my entire Blizzard account.The_root_of_all_evil said:
Mike made that hence it being called "Gabe's". So... yeah, stick with not knowing what you are talking about just don't talk like you do.evilneko said:
I'm pretty sure a lot of the furor is that they're limiting the way equipment will drop so that one item in the one multiplayer game won't drop twice meaning, if you really want that weapon, you have to use blizzard's real money auction house to buy it. The real money auction house that gets a cut when you post an item, when the item is sold and when the transaction is made. Sounds an awful lot like making people pay three times for one thing that doesn't exist. I'm also reasonably sure that it's a percentage so the better the item the more money Blizzard is making.Jaime_Wolf said:

Sir, I have not believed in anything since they remastered Star Wars. Especially not Troll Arcade.ImprovizoR said:
This annoys me. I'm going to have to cancel my CE pre-order then. Where I live I can get spotty internet access (984B/s is best dl speed I've gotten so far, usually it's about 200-350B/s) through my iPhart using tethering.
Occasionally.
When Pluto, Neptune and Mars are in the triforce configuration, it's Wednesday morning between 6am and 6:05am, I'm wearing a special magical tutu and tea cosy singing The Song That Never Ends in an obscure former Soviet Union dialect after sacrificing 12 tacos and a diet pepsi to the elder gawd of walruses.
That's if I'm really lucky.
Oh well. Fuck Blizzard anyway. Dirty sons of bitches still owe me money.

Torchlight 2 has reveled the Engineer class already released two classes, the Engineer and the Outlander.
Aside from the no modding dealio, D3 has essentially become a 1 purchase MMORPG, instanced or not, in which case Guild Wars 2 seems a lot more interesting.

WoW is a MMO, Diablo isn't.Eric Staples said:
OT: Well, duh. Luckily (and perhaps a little strangely being a PC gamer) I've never played a single Blizzard game, so I'm not even tempted.
The rest of you should steer clear of it. The majority of you won't, but you should.
Actually this is more to do with the mechanics of the auction house, not allowing a true single player and not allowing LAN games. not everyone who wants to play a game can have full access to the internet all the time shit happens and you might be not able to play your game just because they want a lot more control. There are better ways to balance multiplayer and prevent cheating.Jaime_Wolf said:
For example have PvE or offline only characters that must be registered before going online so they don't gimp the economy or just have online only characters. These are just 2 solutions to duped items and I am sure there are plenty more better ones than mine and this.
... And yet, I still really don't care. As long as the game is good and it's fun to play, I'll consider it money well spent.
If it comes out and it's god awful and generic, THEN i'll complain. If Torchlight 2 is even half as boring as Torchlight 1 was, it'll still be ten times to boring for me to play anyway.

The problem is Grim Dawn's release date is going to be around a week before the sun expands into a red giant and swallows the earth.SmashLovesTitanQuest said:
But isnt Torchlight 2 being released some time this year while Diablo 3 hasnt had a release date and has only recently gone into beta?JaysonM said:
i dont think it will impede the TL2 sales that much tbh
god how you are missing the point, they can want our money as much as they like, they can not however expect to get it without some compensation, say a decent product maybe, i seriously loved blizzard games up until starcraft 2, i've thoroughly regretted buying that, i had not done the research i should have done when i bought it so i way quite shocked to find there was no Lan. (completely my own fault for not doing the research)SteelStallion said:
I will not repeat my mistake with diablo 3 however, the problem i have with diablo 3 is that the changes they have made in no way add to the gameplay, all it does is try to give blizzard another steady income stream, not a bad thing necesarily, as long as it's deserved which in this case it is not, the real cash auction house is nothing but a transparent money grab scheme which serves no gameplay purpose, diablo 3 doesn't even benefit from a compelling storyline that i want to see wrapped up like command & conquer 4 did.
(the gameplay changes in c&c4 seriously made me reconsider getting it, my desire to see the story wrapped up however compelled me to get it.)
all in all, diablo 3 does nothing to deserve anyones money, the best thing everyone could do is ignore it and not reward blizzard for making bad decisions that only penelize it's actual customers.
and just to be clear for everyone saying *stop bitching just get a crack to "fix" the game* we shouldn't have to get a crack to enjoy the game, the game should be enjoyable straight out of the box, and whenever DRM of any kind messes that up, it has failed.
A condition of warranty, not a condition of using the car at all. Ford can quite rightly as you say, only honour the warranty if they themselves service it. However the car belongs to the person who bought it and if Ford tell them the car cannot be driven at all unless they service it, THEN there's a problem. And that is what Blizzard are doing. It's not a case of only being able to access the store if you play fair, it's play their way, or no way.Miggiwoo said:
Screw you Blizzard, keep Diablo 3. I'll play a game MY way, or no way. Maybe if there's an offline hack, it'll be worth looking into, otherwise Skyrim is all the RPG I'll need this year.
One thing about this that concerns me most
WoW is cracked/hacked
And I don't mean the password thefts I mean bots hacked to fly under the terrain at super sonic speeds stealing nodes/herbs....
So now we make a legit place to sell goods to make money, and it won't draw attention like bee's to the honeypot.
I fear this may come back to bite them on the arse AND annoy people at the same time
I too suffer from a shitty internet connection (and a shittier ISP) so I feel for the people who know this will annoy the crap out of them
