I know this is kind of different when compared to the rest of these, it's dark in very different way. That being said, when

Yes, I can see the complaints about the DRM for Diablo 3. Generally though, for those who have bought it, (myself included), the game is WORTH IT. The biggest issue I've had is the server issues on the first day, which have generally been alleviated.

I see what you're saying about about the textures. They're a lot higher resolution in comparison to where they are in WoW, and the models are more detailed (I'll need to get a close screenshot of my monk as she's sitting right now for comparison's sake, but I only have a few minutes now), but I...

While you're in game, the art style definitely does not seem cartoony. Slick and polished? Yes. Cartoony? No. I think I'm going to go in and try to get a screen shot of some of the spiders you fight in game for comparison purposes. I can understand the frustration in the always on DRM, so...

To start off my bit... I've spent the last couple of days playing D3. That picture... is NOT Diablo. Note the triggers buttons in it, and the lack of a skill bar. If I'd venture a guess, I'd guess that's Torchlight, though don't quote me on that. (Image name is tlbig.jpg) As far as the...

I think the labeling him as a homophobe is a bit over the top, and is is a bit unprofessional on the part of the reporter. As to my take on this whole thing... there some things here that I think that people in this thread are failing to take into consideration. One is trust. When he gave...

The argument that piracy doesn't lead to lost revenue is complete and utter hogwash. Yes, the ratio of lost sales to copies pirated isn't 1:1... there ARE people who wouldn't be able to afford the game at all (and thus wouldn't be sales anyway), and there ARE people who would buy the game after...

This may seem a bit pedantic, but wasn't that a Dragoon rather then a Stalker?

The lawsuit is that due to the exclusivity contract, nobody else was allowed to develop a competing game, one which might have forced EA to actually innovate in order to stay competitive. Having to pay $50-$60 for what is essentially the same exact game that was released 6 years ago, but...

Re-read the section you quoted. The mod authors do not 'give up their rights' as a blanket statement. They grant Bethesda the rights to do basically whatever they want with it, but they STILL own the rights to their work. A game mod is a work of creative expression, and as such the rights to...

Bleh... the ignorance of copyright law here is astounding. These mod writers DO have rights... which do include how these mods are distributed.

Okay, looking at this, it made me think about what may actually be in the EULA for the World Editor that Modder's use. I know that somebody else already quote the appropriate section of the agreement, but I think I will again for my own points. 1. RESTRICTIONS ON USE The Editor and any...

Look up Trillian. Used it for years.

This reminds me of the fairly famous quote. 'Teenagers, Tired of being harassed by your parents? Act Now!! Move out, get a job, pay your own way, while you still know everything!' All the passive aggressive crap in this thread is sickeningly amusing. She has the right to believe that it's...

Am I the only one who actually played the game who thought that the character and animation for Tycho were a bit off somehow? He doesn't 'feel' right to me, though I can't put my finger on it.
