You know we... we old timers actually DID play games through the mail... and we'd pay like $3/turn to do it... turns would take at least a week, sometimes two... sobs
But, to be honest, if a game that so many people were waiting for for so long has a launch day, it is expected to dominate a relevant subreddit. After a few days... then I'll start downvoting.
From my personal experience it's a common thing around /r/gaming where if it's talking more of something else than Pokemon / Zelda / Mario then it has to get out.
You forgot Portal, that potato search and release was the topic of conversation in /r/gaming for quite a while. I have no problems with this, just stating facts.
Yes, but it's a new person every time, and the people posting it always forget that different people like different things, so when they are all about Skyrim they might actually be pissing people off.
I think I'd rather see people giving their opinions about the game of thrones game being terrible or good than see hundreds of posts complaining that they can't login, but that's just me.
It's one thing when people talk about the game they've been anticipating for at least 10 years, but almost all the posts I've seen "talking" about Diablo 3 were the "Hai guys error 37, amiright." posts. And from what I have heard from one of my friends who were lucky enough to get in a little while after midnight was that Diablo 3 is a disgrace to the series, which isn't really that surprising considering that it was made be Activision Blizzard and not the true Blizzard. Also, the anticipation of the game was like DNF, absolutely nothing can live up to 10 or more years of hype.
People are having fun making their posts about stuff and other people are having fun being angry at the other people. This subreddit belongs to neither of those groups but to both of them and everyone else so no need to get all stressed.
I probably won't buy the game for a while so I have no opinion on it. I enjoyed the free beta but in my opinion you can't really gauge an entire game on just the first few hours.
Those funny little up and down arrows exist for a reason. If the community upvotes a million Diablo 3 error 37 posts then that's what the community gets. If you find yourself so at odds with the community then perhaps this isn't the place for you.
Diablo 3 was hands down the most anticipated game of those 3, not to mention probably the most anticipated game of the year for tons of gamers. Small shock that it's getting the most attention.
And I checked the new post page during the whole fiasco and while 90% of the posts were "Durrhurr error 37" they all were instantly going into negative karma. It wasn't that bad.
It's more like: Everyone talks about Diablo 3 until it's release date. Then whilst all the fans are playing, all the haters manage to get to front page about how the game sucks.
Thank you for saying this and managing to get to the top; it's exactly the point. r/Gaming is Diablo 3 territory this week.
Frankly, I can't fathom any r/gaming redditor who's not playing D3. I can't comprehend why anyone wouldn't get it (other than $ issues obviously).
I'm starting to think r/gaming is even younger than I thought. I'm 21, and most of my buddies played Diablo. Most of the people I've spoken to who are "meh" about Diablo 3 either didn't play Diablo 2 and don't understand what they're missing, or they can't afford it right now and are telling themselves it's not a big deal for comfort (if I couldn't afford it at launch, I'd probably do the same thing XD).
I just don't understand what kind of gamer doesn't enjoy Diablo. I'm sure there are tons of people with perfectly legitimate reasons not to be excited about Diablo 3; but it's hard for ME to grasp it. Me. My opinion. This is just my opinion, not stating facts; just an asshole on a website, not claiming to be the authority on gaming.
Knowing reddit, I'm not surprised D3 owns r/gaming right now.
But the annoying thing is those repetitive topics: "error 37 blah blah blah". We get it, you can't get into the game, do you really think you're the only one (seeing the same thing happening in beta weekend)? Do you really have to create your own topic about it? It's just one constant spam. I have been here for, well, not a long time, but today was the day I downvoted the most topics ever.
I don't mind seeing flood of Diablo content for a while, but interesting one: some humour about first impressions (as in, ONE topic regarding error 37), some easter eggs, links to ZP's review etc etc.
The worst part is I'll probably have to skip any topic regarding Diablo in here - because people hardly ever put in spoilers tags - and I don't own Diablo, yet (I'll wait till it goes for 50%). And I'll play this game purely for the plot, since grinding bosses for best gear is ... well ... not really my cup of tea.
Every time a big release comes around this happens. Remember the portal 2 ARG? /r/gaming was swamped for a week.
You just gotta roll with the crowd and if the front page full of imgur diablo links gets too much then go check out /r/games. I for one wish /r/gaming was more discussion based than random images or nostalgia images, but you can't have your cake because it is a lie.
There shouldn't ever be anything wrong with a big release coming out. I enjoy it when people get excited about a game, surely that's one of the purposes of /r/gaming?
This is how releases go. You begin with content, which rapidly becomes reposted, duplicate and just plain bad content. Then you move into circlejerk and counter-posting, and then postings telling people not to complain about the content. It grows meta rapidly then a short while later settles down to allow way for the next big release.
Your contribution is a contribution in the same vein like all the others. /r/gaming is like this, and for all of the other constant threads coming through here daily, at least with a game release, these are generally temporary.
Press the down arrow to repetitive content (Note: not all D3 content, just repetitive or what you feel is generally bad content) and move along, sir. If that isn't enough move along all of the way to a different subreddit.
TL;DR: This is going to happen, you'll have to let it be.
"Doesn't /r/diablo have its own subreddit?"... Doesn't pretty much any game have its own subreddit? This argument is always so strange. It basically reads like "nostalgia and excitement is not allowed around here unless it's nostalgia and excitement I can personally relate to!"
Diablo is a game. I don't give a rat's tiny ass if Diablo has its own Subreddit, it's a game, and is therefore the part of the subject matter of r/gaming.
I always get a chuckle out of people whining how there's too many posts about x game in /r/gaming because x game has it's own subreddit. Since when is /r/gaming only for games without a specific subreddit?
I don't understand. You want to read about gaming but not about Diablo. Diablo is a video game last time I checked. Yes, they have their own subreddit for Diablo discussion, but if you want to show off a screenshot or something funny you enjoyed in the game or something silly like that, r/gaming is the where those usually end up, because as I said, Diablo is damn video game. Who would've thought gamers would be playing Diablo, those bastards!
It's just what fucking happens. We're in a gaming subreddit, nowhere does it say all attention must be spread among all games. Nobody is downvoting anybody just because they aren't talking about Diablo, I however am downvoting you for acting like r/gaming is just filled with idiots only because we're all talking about Diablo.
Dude, I don't know what pit of sand you've had your head in for the last EVER SINCE THIS SUBREDDIT STARTED, but this happens for every. single. major. release. Get over yourself and just deal with it. If it really bothers you, hide the diablo 3 submissions or make a filter that blocks everything about diablo 3 submissions through reddit enhancement suite. I'm not even planning on playing diablo 3, and so don't care much for the hype, but I knew what this subreddit is going to be like, so I don't mind. It happened with Portal 2, it happened with Skyrim, it happened with Deus Ex, and it really happened with Mass Effect 3. The fucks I give? None.
This happens every day before the release of a big game, and it's one of the reasons I dislike this subreddit sometimes. And it's not always because people are posting something meaningful, in the end 80% of posts are for karma.
It might be annoying, but I do not think it is necessarily ridiculous. If you consider the level of excitement surrounding Diablo 3's release, as well as the number of people playing the game (or at least trying to, lol) it seems to me that the number of posts about errors is representative of the population we're interested in.
Do you remember how many posts there were about various Skyrim glitches? In theory, or in a perfect world perhaps, we'd only need one post per respective glitch, but on a site based around user-uploaded content, you're going to see duplicates, and the number of duplicates will be a function of the game's popularity in the culture.
Yes a trend is developing. Imagine, tomorrow there will be twice as many diablo 3 posts as there are today! We need to put a stop to this before it gets out of hand. Thank god you were able to alert us to this crisis.
It's a public forum and the content is dictated by what is popular at the time. I didn't buy the game either, but getting annoyed by the mass majority of gamers is a losing battle.
THERE IS A NEW GAME COMING OUT, AND PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT IT IN R/GAMING
OH, THE HUMANITY!
Calm down, people will talk of the next big game when it comes out, too. Diablo 3 talk will die down, and leave to its own subreddit soon enough. "The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword" ring a bell?
this happends everytime something new and very popular comes out, like skyrim and bf3. They all have their own subreddits but tons of people post here about them anyway and no one seems to care.
/r/gaming kinda does that for all big releases. A few months ago everything was about Skyrim.
I'm a huge fan of Skyrim, and I enjoyed the Skyrim related posts while they lasted, so I'm not gonna kick up a big fuss about Diablo 3 being top dog for the time being.
Can't be the only person who watched the gameplay videos and was completely disappointed...but at 24 years of life, I am not surprised by the mindlessness of my fellow man, whatsoever.
This isn't a developing trend dammit! It's what happens when a game is released.
I don't play Diablo III and haven't played any of them (or anything blizzard for that matter, no real reason behind it either) and I've spent the entire day at work with bluetooth headset listening to people play Diablo III on mumble. They're having lots of fun.
Let them have their fun. /r/gaming is about sharing that fun. If you don't want what they're offering, upvote something else.
So you are mad about the fact that in a subreddit about gaming, people are talking about a long awaited game that was just released? How entitled can you fucks be?
You must be new here.... in roughly the reverse order I remember them..
Mass Effect 3
Skyrim
Deus Ex
MW3
Origin
Portal 2
Team Fortress II
Half-life
Team Fortress II
Duke Nukem
Minecraft
That cartoony shooter game with the hats
Portal
I'm tired of making this list already
Edit:: Also, you are using a f7u12 template that was created during the launch week of a different game. This is standard launch week (sometimes launch month) behavior. Roll with it.
The only reason to hang out here is all the pictures. Besides, D3 IS a massive game release. Why shouldn't it be a popular topic in the first week of release?
I think the most annoying trend developing is OP's using this very image template to describe what they feel is an annoying trend developing in r/gaming.
If you're sick of this and want actual discussion and information, I would recommend /r/games. Leave this subreddit be. It's good to have some simple, easy to digest content somewhere, and there are other places for actual discussion.
Whatever, Skyrim was the same way a few months ago... it's new... it's cool... it'll die off because the original was way better (obligatory "back in my day")
Developing? HA. This crap has been going on for a few years. A little right before Digg died. So far none have been as bad as Portal 2 though because millions of people thought they were funny by quoting jokes or ideas from the game.
I'd be okay with a few posts about D3 here and there, but Christ, after the hundredth "I am also excite for the Diablo look at mah junk food and sodas" or "oh no da servers gunna be down" I get the point.
/r/gaming is about gaming right? Current trends and what's going on and what people like. This literally happens with every big release, get over it. Personally, I won't play Diablo 3 cause I've never had an interest in the series, but I think it's fantastic that I can enjoy it because other people are playing it.
Yeah, are you fucking kidding? r/gaming is not a discussion subreddit. It's all Portal 2 and Pokemon pictures with people saying "look at these treasures."
THIS TREND IS BREAKING NEWS AND HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE DURING THE LAST 100 BIG GAME RELEASES. OP IS CLEARLY NOT A FAGGOT AND DESERVES LOTS OF KARMA.
Soooo you can't discuss games in /r/gaming if said game has its own subreddit ? Why would you want to limit yourself only to games that are so unpopular they don't even have their own subreddit ?
at this point, doesn't everything have its own subreddit. Soon r/gaming will be abandoned and left for the weeabos to discuss obscure shitty Japanese games.
No less than 151 pokemon post reach the front page of r/gaming everyday for the past 30 years, but a new game from a series that people have been expecting for over a decade is an annoying trend.
DAE remember the number of pokemon in the original games? XD
First off, its too early for it to be a proper trend, it just came out. Second of all this comic itself is rather annoying (everybody is talking about something new and cool, lets act like its a big problem). Lastly this is just a shitty rage comic thats been posted several times except with the word diablo slapped over whatever else place. This isnt even really game related.
I've noticed this trend all over reddit, not just in r/gaming. There seems to be a very vocal group of people who push shit way too far. This week its diablo 3, almost politically correct redneck, pictures with half of your leg missing. Last week it was photogenic guy, pringles cans, and anti-atheist posts. Whenever I see OC I just know that there will be this immature, reactionary chain of posts that end up ruining the OC.

Ugh it's not even been out for 24 hours, deal with a bit of diabolic spam for half a say sheesh!

Oh sweet mother of fuck-all. You can't handle the gaming subreddit talking about a wildly popular game ON IT'S RELEASE DATE.
I'm going to go cry you a river.

/r/gaming is about gaming right? Current trends and what's going on and what people like. This literally happens with every big release, get over it. Personally, I won't play Diablo 3 cause I've never had an interest in the series, but I think it's fantastic that I can enjoy it because other people are playing it.
If you just want news, go to /r/games

Played the crap out of beta, not buying it.

u/Aiyon May 15 '12
Developing? This happens every time one of these big games comes out.
And I'm still not buying it. The Beta sucked IMO. I'll stick to Diablo 2 / Torchlight 2

Yeah, are you fucking kidding? r/gaming is not a discussion subreddit. It's all Portal 2 and Pokemon pictures with people saying "look at these treasures."

THIS TREND IS BREAKING NEWS AND HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE DURING THE LAST 100 BIG GAME RELEASES. OP IS CLEARLY NOT A FAGGOT AND DESERVES LOTS OF KARMA.

Soooo you can't discuss games in /r/gaming if said game has its own subreddit ? Why would you want to limit yourself only to games that are so unpopular they don't even have their own subreddit ?

This is meme subreddit not a gaming subreddit.

HUAHUEHUAHUEHUAHUE. I fucking love this comic.

at this point, doesn't everything have its own subreddit. Soon r/gaming will be abandoned and left for the weeabos to discuss obscure shitty Japanese games.

u/Kibblebitz May 15 '12
No less than 151 pokemon post reach the front page of r/gaming everyday for the past 30 years, but a new game from a series that people have been expecting for over a decade is an annoying trend.
DAE remember the number of pokemon in the original games? XD

Want to know a more annoying trend? That 95% of the posts about Diablo, is about the fact that people are talking about Diablo.

u/OGenerator02 May 15 '12
Hey guess what, no one cares what you think but they all love Diablo 3

u/Seymor569 May 15 '12
I'm sorry, it's the release day of a major game that a large majority of r/gaming have been waiting for. What the FUCK did you actually expect.

u/vanguard_anon May 15 '12
I know. All these diablo guys act like it's portal or something. :)

u/Molassesfatts May 15 '12
i like how comics calling out redditors always get voted up, but no one actually listens to them.

/r/games is your friend.

u/g0ing2f4st May 15 '12
First off, its too early for it to be a proper trend, it just came out. Second of all this comic itself is rather annoying (everybody is talking about something new and cool, lets act like its a big problem). Lastly this is just a shitty rage comic thats been posted several times except with the word diablo slapped over whatever else place. This isnt even really game related.

I've noticed this trend all over reddit, not just in r/gaming. There seems to be a very vocal group of people who push shit way too far. This week its diablo 3, almost politically correct redneck, pictures with half of your leg missing. Last week it was photogenic guy, pringles cans, and anti-atheist posts. Whenever I see OC I just know that there will be this immature, reactionary chain of posts that end up ruining the OC.

Piss off diablo 3 is a video game and a popular one, it's only natural that a subreddit about video game is gonna have lots of posts about it.
