Blizzard's MMORPG sequel
Diablo 3 is an ARPG, not an MMO. There is no persisted world. The most players that can play together at once is 4.

I think that Blue is using the other definition: "Money Made Off Really Pissed Gamers".

+ 1 for you, Raven. That was gold.

Other websites, like Eurogamer and Examiner.com, are reporting similar issues.

So, it looks like a real issue for me, not something that happened only to "shady" people. Comments?

What I'm more curious about is the screenshots... apparently Diablo went on a diet or something for the past 20 years. His limbs are very thin and such, almost looks like a female demon.

I've heard people giving explanations for that, and it's WAY into spoiler territory. Not sure if any of it is true, though, as I was actively trying to avoid spoilers at the time, but still.

hari seldon would know what to do, but i'm sure nobody would listen if he existed in our timespace.

The guy mentions Hari Seldon (from Asimov's "Foundation" series) and no one notices? What has this world come to?

Well done, sir, well done.

If they do an editor and release more dungeons, that should help with that Since its successful I'm sure they will, they already have the functionality in place to have different dungeons.

They already confirmed they're working on a level editor:

invert horizontal mouse option

Ok, I gotta ask. And this is coming from someone who always reverses mouselook (aka vert)...


Some people think like camera operators using old film cameras. Think about it.

Looks like a company gettin' shit done. Unlike EA, or Blizzard which can take 6-12 months, or 5 years to implement suggestions/improvements/fixes.

I guess this game was either programmed very well, or the programmers are being honest about their time.

I think it was generally programmed well (despite obvious oversights like forgetting to limit framerates on "light" gamestates like menus and the like), and I think the programmers are quite honest indeed about their time (just check their dev blog), but I'd say the most important factor would be the complexity of the code itself, which, in this case, should be relatively low. It's a very simple game/engine, which helps a lot in debugging and bug fixing.

Did you just call me an imbecile? Well played, sir.

I mean the kid's father in the game (or his spymaster). I thought you were talking about the game???

oh no thats it, they are all gonna get fired as soon as it ships, publisher blames swamp gas & piracy as cause to re-adjust bizz strategy.

You forgot to mention other causes like the used games market and butterflies flapping their wings somewhere in New Zealand.

Here's hoping it isn't "Dead Space in New York" or any setting on Earth.

Take this back to a spaceship like the first, Event Horizon style.

Waiting anxiously for the marketing shots that feature Isaac with a bow


Verno, you just won a whole Internet. And you owe me a new keyboard.

Dmitri... please, don't ever mention Event Horizon again. Please.

edit: Sorry for crapping up the launch thread. Game looks great for the 10 seconds it runs before locking my video card... I need to hurry to kill the process so that it doesn't eventually bluescreen if I let it go.

Turn vsync on in the options. It seems the menu screen has no FPS cap, which causes some fast video cards to overheat. That might explain your crashes.

Is that the Extended Version of Hard Reset, or the original one? If it is the extended version, I might get it.

I love -> The user interface continues to progresses towards perfection

Was that sarcasm? Because i can only read it as such. If thats progression towards perfection i want regression towards crap. At least then, it might become a readable interface...

The interface in Crusader Kings 2 is much better than the original, and better than most other Paradox games too. And it's quite readable for me, but I play it in 1280x1024... I'm not sure how it scales with higher resolutions.

But at least Battlecruiser 3000AD had something going for it, the music was great In Sots2 , i didn't even notice any...

Battlecruiser 3000AD had a lot of things going for it... some great ideas there, and lots of things I have yet to see in current games. But it had so many implementation and design issues that most of those ideas got lost in time... like tears in the rain.

That Sword of the Stars 2 review is 2 months after release and the author still says almost nothing works. The game has several updates a week according to Steam news and it's still in such a state?!? Do we finally have a usurper to Battlecruiser 2000AD's throne as King of Unfinished Game Releases?

You mean Battlecruiser 3000AD, right? That's actually an excellent comparison... there are many similarities between both releases - games with a lot of potential and some great ideas, but terrible execution/implementation on launch, and LOTS of bugs and missing features.

I'm a big fan of SotS 1, and a big fan of Paradox, but the SotS 2 launch was a train wreck. I still think Kerberos will fix the game eventually, but it's been 4 months already and, while there have been tons of fixes, there are still missing features and assorted issues. It might be complete in a couple more months, I guess, but the game still isn't ready, as much as it pains me to say so.

Are the guards still psychic and can you still get caught stealing from a chest you've already unlocked?

If there's no one watching, you can't be caught. So, if you go into stealth mode, and make sure no one is seeing you, you should have a 0% chance of getting caught. At least that's how it worked in the Totalbiscuit live stream I watched yesterday. (I haven't played the game yet - it only unlocks on Friday for me - but even if I did, I wouldn't have stolen anything, so I wouldn't be able to tell you how it works)
