Diablo 3

[SoBe Clock]

Well first off you're definitely not the only one. I'm still playing D3 and enjoying it. I'm not playing it as often as i'd like but i'm still trying to get through inferno. I definitely have some problems with the game but they're only minor and don't detract from the overall experience. Like D2 before it, I think the expansions and future updates will only improve upon what is already an excellent game. If there's anything blizzard does right, it's that they listen to their community better than almost any developer out there.

No game is perfect, some of us understand this and some of us have ridiculous expectations that will simply never be met. A lot of people these days are blinded by nostalgia goggles especially with games like D3, Skyrim, and other franchise games. Some of the bashing is justified but a lot of it isnt and is just nit picky and arbitrary. I think it just boils down to things not being as special as you grow older. Maybe there's more to it, idk.

Personally, I don't think Valve is the savior of gaming that people make them out to be. Portal, l4d, hat fortress 2, and Half Life are all great but they aren't the best games of all time ever ever ever. First person shootan is great on occasion but eh. It'd be nice to see them do something new outside the genre they seem to be most comfortable in. Also gaben is a brony.

Glad to see someone else still likes it. Though I do have to point out that Valve is finally straying from shooters with Dota2, though as much as I've tried to get into it, it just can't keep my attention.
 

Well, one of the reasons I'm complaining about Blizzard and not Valve right now is because Blizzard is committing wire fraud and Valve isn't. I really can't think of anything worse that a videogame company can do than stealing their costumers money. Whether or not they stole it on accident doesn't matter, because they've refused to refund the money.

As far as I know, From Software and Double Fine have also not stolen anybodies money

Yeah, I agreed that Blizzard is fucking that up big time. As far as the game itself goes I still enjoy it quite a lot.

Expansions.

[DWARFINATORclock]

Expansions.

in d2 the cap was 99 even before the expansion

[BoomStick Clock]

Because blizz thought the item hunt was enough to provide a good end-game experience, they only recently admitted this isn't the case.

And then along came WoW with its lvl 60 cap in vanilla...

If anyone else here still cares about the game at all, the 1.0.4 update coming out addresses a lot of the problems with Inferno as a whole.

- Elites max HP is going down, and they are nerfing the combinations of -affixes they can have.
- Legendary items are getting better, and low-mid tier legendaries will drop more frequently. Idk about the really high tier ones.
- Team play will be better now, Magic Find is no longer shared and the difficulty doesn't spike as dramatically.
- Sets are getting new bonuses to make them more viable.
- Various other balance changes such as buffing 2 handed weapons so they are viable next to dual wielding and 1h+shield.
- Each character class is getting buffed and rebalanced. The builds that were already good on them will remain strong, while they will have more options available for skill and item builds.

Barbarian Patch Preview
Demon Hunter Patch Preview
Monk Patch Preview
Witch Doctor Patch Preview
Wizard Patch Preview

There's more changes I'm missing but yeah Inferno will be a better end game with these changes and there's more in store for future patches. I'm quite happy with the direction things are going, seems like it's going to get a lot more fun.

Did they add in skill points and attribute points yet?

No, they aren't planning to either.

I am perfectly fine with that.

[BoomStick Clock]

still no endgame though.

I really don't understand why people are crying about this so much. Diablo 2 barely had end game (and all I can think of is Uber Diablo and Lilith. pvp maybe?)

This isn't WoW.

A lot of people ended up playing D2 for PvP

Really? because Blizzard makes me wonder...

Well it is basically a lot of the same team that developed WoW. Blizzard North is gone as we both know. The style and the direction were bound to shift a bit.  

Diablo 3 may not be perfect, but I put well over 100 hours into it happily. Any game that gets me to do that is pretty good in my book. I hate the story and idk if I'll come back anytime soon but I still think it was a quality game. D2 will always be the best in the series (especially in terms of story) but anybody who played it when it originally came out can tell you that the gripes that are being made with D3 (gameplay wise) were made with D2 when it first pre-LoD. Some people even prefer the original still.

Also pvp is coming.

David Brevik was the creator of diablo 1 and 2. He had nothing but bad things to say about Diablo 3.


Jay Wilson's response is, and I quote "fuck that loser".
Jay Wilson is the project director for Diablo 3

Blizzard confirmed for evil corporation that forcibly silences all opposition and censors the media.

I honestly couldn't believe what I was seeing when I read that. I've never been so disgusted with any group of developers in my life.

[BoomStick Clock]

stay classy, blizz.
