No, genius.Capitano Segnaposto said:
D3 shit on Diablo.
Starcraft 2 shit on Starcraft.
WoW destroyed any chance of another Warcraft RTS.
Therefore, all three games, and you are dumb.
I was about to point out that there is still the possibility of a Warcraft 4, sort of. Then I realised that I wouldn't buy it.Artemis923 said:
Still, ignoring that fact, you could write a Warcraft story that meshed with current Warcraft canon, you'd just have to be very delicate, very careful, and very skilled to get the job done.
Who knows? Maybe Blizzard will make an excellent Warcraft 4, with no Activision money-gouging involved at all. Maybe it will be available offline, with multiple campaigns not released in full-priced "expansions".
A man can dream.
Yeah I havent touched WoW at all through these many years because they killed any chance for warcraft 4. I've been a huge warcraft fan but sadly i've had to bury one of my favorite series, well actually i've had to bury 2 (diablo and warcraft) and now i'm debating on preparing a 3rd grave.Artemis923 said:
I think you should look at that thread again. It is 104 pages long, and mostly negative...
I will say that I have never been so disappointed with a game release as I had with Diablo 3. You can tell it was developed by an entirely new team that new nothing of what made the original games good. Money driven incompetance at its finest.
It's a crock of shit.
Ok, the launch problems ... you know what caused those?
Not being able to play offline. 'cos a majority of D3 players played single player.
You wouldn't have had capacity problems if there's an offline mode.
Personally, I'm not too fussed with not being able to log, or the awful lag from being in a shithouse country, or even the horrible game design decisions that turned D3 into such a gearfest that one level 60 can be literally 10x more powerful than another.
What shits me the most is that the RMAH is such a big deal that people try extra hard to hack accounts.
I played tens of thousands of games of Starcraft 2. No problems.
I grouped up with less than a dozen randoms in Diablo 3, and for one (later discovered) known "hacker" that was enough to get access to dozens of accounts including mine.
Never mind the shithouse security, they rolled back my account so I lost some 100 million gold worth of stuff, and all they have to say to prevent future intrusions is to get an authenticator.
Well, fuck you Blizzard.
I want to play D3 offline so I don't have to deal with that shit.
There's nothing to steal in Starcraft 2

No "nostalgia" here. I can still play Diablo 1 and 2, Titan Quest, NoX, the Dungeon Sieges, X-Men Legends et al. Yes, they can be a bit "clunky" in some respects, but by and large, they are all better games than Diablo 3. For a game that has had 10 years to become better than its predecessor, it is sad that it launched in the state that it is in.Aeshi said:
It feels like it was "rushed out the door" with major system changes late in development, lack of content, cut features, and a story that deserves all of the criticism that it is getting. For a company that touts its "when its done" line, it's a sad state of affairs.
I want to see those patches goddamnit. Make it worth the $60 and worthy of the name Diablo.
You said it would live up to expectations after all this time. I'm still waiting.
The only way to solve this is abunch of free support Blizzard. Do it.
