Walter Byers said:Have you even played the game?The Human Torch said:Diablo 3 is a singleplayer game with a multiplayer option. Just like Diablo 1 and 2. We done now? You keep posting your nonsense argument and no matter how many times you post it, it will never become the truth.Walter Byers said:D3 is an online multiplayer game. It's not an offline single player game. It's not a massively multiplayer game.QUINTIX said:So it's not necessarily singleplayer, but I do not think saying "it isn't an MMO either" goes far enough. Whatever happened to LAN parties? Must all multiplayer be exclusively over the internet? Even if your playmate is not even ten yards away?
Personally I miss offline multiplayer games. RIP couch coop.
Every time you start a quest (click that big red button on the character select screen that says resume game) you are starting a multiplayer game. You can chose to open up the game to the public, to invite specific friends or play alone. This works exactly like the multiplayer mode in Diablo 1 and 2.
You do not have the option to choose a single player mode like you did in Diable 1 and 2. Show me where I can create a character that cannot, under no circumstances, be merged with the multiplayer mode.
At least I can play skyrim or new vegas anytime i want even with some crahses that can be fixed thanks to the modding community. Diablo III had some of my hopes up and slaughtered them down with the messy release on the servers, hacking into people's accounts to loot others gold/weapons.Gekidami said:You know what else is sh!t publishers think we'll just eat right up?: Games that are broken on release.
You know what game Jim loved and had nothing bad to say about?: Skyrim.
You know where this is going?: Yeah.
But why do honest players have to suffer through shitty DRM for pirates? Should I go punch every pirate in the face so companies don't put shitty DRM?Sober Thal said:Spoiled entitled brats... (not this community, but the masses)
Iloverealize that you may be inconvenienced for a few hours...
Iloverealize that you are not poor, and can afford one days worth of work, or maybe $2 a day, for a month, isn't making your children starve...
Iloverealize that you want to curse out the big companies that make great games...
But seriously.... grow the fuck up!!!!!!!!!!1!!!!!!!1111!!!1!!!1111!!!!1
You are only buying the service, not buying the game. Service is second to your fucking tears.
You are entitled to ***** and complain. But since the world is full of pirate asshats... you have to deal with it.
You only have yourselves to blame 'PC community'. Don't pretend it isn't your faultJim Sterlinghacktavist types.
Reap what you sow damn it.
*feels great about your plight
People say this game is crap is crap because of the publishers, because of the developers, because of the Online connection... It's because of the pirates that this game is faulty. It's because of the hacks that devote their nerd time to a hobby that spoils it for the rest of us. It's because of this culture that a game suffers the way it has been on the score board. The nerds have spoken. This game gets a negative score.
Maybe when these things kiss your ass, you may like them more... you spoiled entitled brats...
Remember when you judged a game for it being a game? People born in the 80's and 90's have failed us in that regard.

Shh... don't let them onto it.loa said:I wonder if the console versions of Diablo 3 will be always-online too.
Maybe Diablo 3 is the apocalyptic harbinger of always-online-required console games.
