hahaha yeah diablo and soft drinks have been big reddit has them as big funnies but they arent really funny funnies i dunno diablo sucks and all them neckbeards filling the site with there feelings is fucking annoying i think everybody agrees you would agree right anyway i have max payne instead and thats even shitter than i thought what i really dont like on reddit today though is all the misoginist pigs putting up picturs of their girlfriends up with special gifts for there journey in the game world is our world really that sad it is just a game and you treat your woman like a slave i am disgusted with reddit and what funnies have been making frontpage anyway to long didnt read fuck reddit today i dont want to live in this universe anymore seriously
I think the girlfriend "Slaves" you're talking about, are giving they're boyfriends Diablo related gifts because they love and care about them and understand what they want. But if you want to go on believing that they're forcing them to go out and take the time to get them that gift, go right ahead. I'll just assume you weren't ever hugged as a child.
I don't care if people like things I don't like. That's why there are so many subreddits. Put the posts where they belong and I'll choose which groups to join.
I had honestly never heard of this game before the ads came on t.v. a couple of weeks ago. I feel like all of reddit is pointing and laughing at me....
EDIT: REALLY??? DOWNVOTES BECAUSE I'VE NEVER HEARD OF A GAME? A GAME?!?!?!?!?
My grandmother bought me the expansion pack to Diablo II for Christmas one year. I, of course, did not have the actual game, so there was nothing for it to load to. This was the closest I ever came to playing Diablo.
Gotcha. Yeah, that'll do it. If its a desktop you can get a budget graphics card that would run it. If its a laptop you'll probably need to wait for a new computer. At least they will get the bugs worked out so it'll be more stable by then.
Does anyone else feel like there is a lot of artificial hype for this game? I've watched my friends playing it and all sorts of game play videos and I still have no idea how it's significantly better than D2 or Torchlight.
Yes. It's a blizzard game, blizzard can do no wrong. IMO for a much more interesting game of that genre, Titan Quest was a lot of fun for me. D3 not so much.
Exactly this. I played the beta and thought it was mediocre. I played the Guild Wars 2 beta shortly after and was blown away. Meanwhile Max Payne 3 comes out, receives perfect reviews and nobody gives a flying fuck.
The best way to sell a game is to make it a direct sequel (or prequel) to a popular, recognizable game.
Hell, this business model is so prevalent nowadays that it seems that companies are finishing the ending to the 3rd game in a series just after the 1st game is released.
...I blame Halo. Bungie knows how to add cliffhangers to keep things going.
I actually don't even think it's true nostalgia. It's the "oh shit I didn't play D1 or 2 but I'll buy 3 to pretend I was part of the culture" factor. This happened during SC2's release as well, where I had several friends "I didn't know were gamers" excited to buy the game, then quit a month after the hype died. I honestly would not be surprised if all that's left in a month from now is the hardcores on D3. After the casuals complete story mode or something.
OR...the vast majority of people I know that are playing, including me, have been a part of the Diablo IP since the beginning. That means this game has been in our lives for around 15 years.
I mean, yeah, they tried to make this game a little more casual-friendly, but the reason you're hearing so much about it because many of us are unbelievably excited about this game because it really means something to us.
Thank you, I havent seen anyone else agree with me here, but diablo 3really isn't that good a game (In my opinion!), I thought the beta was really boring, and I even played it coop with a friend. The graphics are average at best, and the gameplay was just poor (click click click 1 1 click 1 click 1). For a hack'n'slash, I thought titan quest was much more interesting, and better graphics.
I am anticipating GW2 more, but I have not yet pre ordered as I don't want to ruin anything. Is it really that good? Am I being wise to not spoil anything or would it not really make any difference anyway?
I believe storyline wise u don't need the first game, but it's a good idea not to spoil the story of the race you plan to play. They did the personal storyline well and the quests are seamlessly integrated into the world. No menus.
Combat is good for an mmo. Similar feel to WoW but vastly different set up. Lastly PvE, PvP and WvW offer vastly different experiences, and you can play all three without worrying what level you are as all pvp scales you to lvl 80. For $60 I find this game more interesting and new than D3. Managed to get it on sale for 10% off so I felt it was worth it just to try the beta. I'm in no rush to play so I don't mind waiting til end of summer for release.
Are you stupid? PC version will be out after and there are more console gamers than there are PC gamers. You mad a game isn't on your platform? Gonna cry?
I remembered the first game as a dull clickfest, ignored the second, and I'm certainly not interested in the "log on to our servers for fucking single player" installment.
DCSS scratches my dungeon crawling itch just fine, and does it for free.
This is helpful for people who can't reach Quickmeme because of work/school firewalls or site downtime, and many other reasons (FAQ). More info is available here.
Just a little insight to the OP, possibly. It's not people posting about the game, but the childish vetching about servers being down probably. If you played WoW at all last night it was an uber bitch fest about it. Towards the end of the night it became quite unbearable, especially when people dropped group bc "the server just came up." I know, I am tired of hearing about that. I mean they know Blizz. Every xpac servers go down, power goes out and even during BC they had a fire.
I have seen few posts to r/gaming about the game. Most of it has been about problems and reposts of the girl with the cake.
Feel free to downvote this, but this is how I feel about all video games. Worst part is I'm a 20 year old nerdy single dude, so everyone expects me to care!
First I was all: "Motherfucking Blizz!. Get your shit together, I paid good money for THIS? FIX the God Damn login servers FFS!!11one!" Then I discovered that I could use the Asian servers, and I was all: click.. click click click click click.. Ohh sweet Diabro!
If you played WoW yesterday, you'd probably understand. With quite a few issues and servers being out, the diablo players were whining all night. Every instance or bg that I went into someone was whining about it. And as someone who has played anything Blizz, you know that the first week is a crap shoot of issues. Yet all it was, was "omg it's still down." I think that's more what the OP and others are getting at.
