Look at SC2.


Now, stop expecting anything but shitty clichés and "overacted" voices.

Because thats all they can do now.

How old are those of you who don't mind or are for a Diablo 3 on console ? (15 yo and not familiar with PC history?)

Diablo is a PC franchise and should remain one. Consoles don't deserve such a game. Console gamers don't deserve the Diablo franchise ! A Diablo porting would be a huge backstab!

Really?

Calling us young because of that?

Console games don't deserve the Diablo franchise?


Now really, who's the child? You're clearly acting like a little brat that doesn't want others that don't share his ways to have anything he has.


Let this be clear, I'm a complete supporter of PC and I'm sick and tired of the role Console take on the gaming world. But you're just one of thos biased idiot that defends his side by making the entire situation worse.

If all you can do is look down at console gamers as inferior and say they don't deserve this, then you are exactly why this pathetic PC vs Console war is going nowhere.


And screw your pride. There's no pride left when you act like you do for the sake of PC. Its humiliating to know that this is how a PC gamer react to such a simple thing. You think PC has a better image than console? Certainly not, and exactly because of things like this.

Somehow I'm not expecting much. I'm expecting them to say "oh screw this, we won't actually have clan support and all that stuff.". Their pathetic attempt with Battle net 2.0 and SC2 so far let me expect the worst. Its still complete shit and doesn't support what I consider basic functions that the first one did better.

Don't keep your hopes up. The fact that they don't even know yet is even worst. Battle.net 2.0 should be completely able for that kind of things. But they "don't know"? Haha. Yeah. I'm sorry, I'll keep this post short or I'll start throwing more insults at them.

You know what?

I have no god damn idea.

And I'll probably be staring at the class selection screen for 30 minutes before actually choosing.

All I have to say is that the Demon Hunter's lines sucks.

Blizzard officially have horrible writing in all directions from here on. Diablo, Warcraft, Starcraft. All shit, they can't even make a few lines without making me cringe.

Good thing I'm only here for the gameplay.

Gaming these days is for babies.

I'm not one for too harsh punishments (removing XP, for example, is too much).

To be frank though, if durability lost is in like it is in WoW, its enough for me: every death when raiding would cost me a bit of hard earned gold, meaning I don't want to die.

Absolutely no penalty in a world where you respawn instead of loading back to a previous save/checkpoint is the dumbest thing that can ever happen. You have to be an absolutely clueless and stupid developer to go that way. Some form of penalty is an absolute necessity.

At the same time, ruining people's hard work in a single strike is too much. That means loss of XP is NOT welcome. Hardcore is another cup entirely, and is a choice. I enjoy hardcore, but there's a line: you play hardcore, or you don't. When you don't, you need reasons not to die, without something that makes you lose too much.

Burn topic, burn.

Other than the fact that it was badly designed, I don't see why it should be gone.

Depends on how well the animation are done in the final game.

Take Dragon Age. I like 2 handed weapons but the animations are so horrid I never use them. If it looks or feels bad, I won't use it even if its mile better than other options.

Also depends on the game mechanics... how useful is a shield? Is the difference in damage that huge?

How can anyone have their mind set on such a question at this time is beyond me, unless you -really- have a known preference for a style. And my only preference is one weapon (preferably a sword), alone, nothing in the other hand. You heard me.

Do you know the word "paragraphs"?

4 people is enough more then that is a crowd

especially with the new spell effects and pretty lights

The route of my pissed-offery doesn't stem from offline play being removed alone. It's Blizzard's additude and mentality toward this game and it's community and their obssession with making money and preventing piracy while hiding under the guise of convenience. They are stripping away players rights and options for how we choose to play or enjoy a game we're paying for. They are applying the same strict control methods seen only in pay to play or cash shop mmorpgs; yet the game isn't. They are forcing everyone to play on the servers they strictly control... Preventing offline play, banning modding, preventing lan and a real cash auction house are disgusting.

As for mods. Hellfire for Diablo 1 was a fanbased mod; there are countless mods for Diablo 2... Blizzard stated early on mods would not be supported for Diablo 3 but if players wanted to make mods "power to them" it was still ok. Now this has had a dramatic reverse where mods are now against policy and terms of service.

The thing about offline mode, mods would have been limited to offline mode. You could still create singleplayer offline mods; with the removal of offline mode this will become impossible since battle.net is the only way you can play the game. Because anyone not playing on battle.net means potentially less revenue for Blizzard through the auction house.

And no I won't by this game. I'll stick with Torchlight 2 until private servers start popping up for Diablo 3; but I will no longer support or respect Blizzard as they have chosen not to support or respect their fan-base time and time again.

Square-Enix was a large video game company responsible for some of the most popular games ever created; but they became too complacent and arrogant while turning their backs on their fans and have gone into a spiraling downfall because of it.

And quit being another hostile dumb ass nerd defending these changes. It only empowers Blizzard to continue to screw over the community. It amuses me how some people defend Blizzard like it's a religion.

Quote from CritterCutter

The thing is if you achieve these things you haven't solved the problem, just the cause. As soon as something bad happens in life it will all just come back. Also yes anger is a good outlet for depression, but love and forgiveness is a better outlet for me. When I love the people that care for me I feel much better than if I were to snap at them every time they annoyed me. If I did that I would just feel guilty and depressed.

Spouting things you read in some silly book. I believe you mean well, so I will tell you something, maybe you'll stop spouting these things:
most people in society, when they see something that's different from others, such as depressed people, perceive it as a personality fault. They are afraid depression will happen to them, so they convince themselves that it won't. They convince themselves that depression only happens to lazy, weak, emo people, so that they can consider these people inferior to them. This even happens to people who used to be depressed, just like people who used to be poor stop caring about the poor once they become rich.
Most books about depression are written with this idea in mind, I found. It's not there directly, sometimes it's even subconscious. At the end of the day, they all try to convince us that the only ways out are paths we cannot take, and all others do not owrk, therefore saying there's no way out. Like you right now, telling me something won't work, like you know SHIT, like you know ANYTHING except some rubbish you read in a book.

I'm not a book.

I'm real. I know how I work.

And I don't need your 'help' if all you can tell me is that I will fail.

While it has been said before, here is one more piece of concrete evidence that there will be no class in Diablo III dedicated just to healing or any other utility.

Blizzard has stated from the beginning that they are making Diablo III with cooperative play as its main stage. With cooperative play comes forming parties or groups. However, unlike a very famous Blizzard MMO, players will not have to worry about looking for a healer to form a party and complete certain obstacles. Blizzard wants every class to be able to destroy the demons of Hell whether they are in a group or the player is enjoying Single Player.

While no class is dedicated to healing or support, this is not to say that each class is not without some skills to help out themselves or their group stay alive as Bashiok mentioned. The Barbarian has skills like Strong Constitution and Death Proof to help keep him alive along with a slew shouts and battle cries to help out his group. The Witch Doctor has Jungle Fortitude to give him some extra HP and has Horrify and Mass Confusion to aid his allies. From the few skills revealed for the Monk, it is easy to see how he can help his group stay alive with Inner Sanctuary and Radiant Visage. Even the offensive heavy Wizard has Conjured Health to gain some need HP and Slow Time to help party members.

Along with no healing class, Blizzard has also removed the accessibility of potions for the player. They have created many more mechanics to help characters to constantly stay in the action of this game. Health Globes will help player heal as they continue to fight. The have also added checkpoints for when you do die and a co-op resurrection system. While some Hardcore Players may face a harder challenge without potions and no healing class, it is the challenge that keeps people playing Hardcore.

So for all of you who continue the fight against healers in Diablo III, you can rest. There will be no healing class in Diablo III.

The big deal is that a lack of dedicated servers is having a negative impact on competitive gaming. There are, of course, other reasons, and some good general overviews can be found here and here.

Basically, this is all just a slap in the face to PC users; the series wouldn't be what it is today without the support of PC users.

Also, for you people arguing over the controller vs. keyboard/mouse, take a look at this.

No seriously, I had little intentions of buying that game and yet it pisses me off.

What the fuck is going on with the gaming world? Well, in the world in general, too, but why gaming too? How freakin' sad can it get?

Same here. I've never played CoD4 and wasn't too into this game since it's multiplayer mainly and I'm just not into multiplayer FPS, but this is ridiculous...

And worst of all, people will buy this game. And they will realize they can limit the player in each and every way and still get their money back.
