Keep in mind this is the sony that continually tries to trap people into proprietary media and storage formats

Of course there is no valid reasoning behind the move, your suspicions are correct. The Guild Wars analogy is dead out of the gate but inexplicably people still use it to attempt to invalidate reasonable frustrations at a disastrously stupid move by an otherwise fantastic development studio.

Except in the case of Diablo 3 there is zero reason to force a player to be online, the first 2 didn't require it, why should the third?

Oh wait easy answer, to try to force people to use their real money transaction rape house.

Diablo - First and second release(s) needed ZERO internet connection for BOTH SP AND MP.

Different expectations for different games.

You're joking, right? Take your computer offline and see how many of your Steam games you can play while it's in offline mode. I just fired up Torchlight, MW3 and Dungeon Defenders with my network cable pulled from the back.

I am sooooo disappointed at the direction Blizzard has taken Diablo 3 in. It's really nothing short of disastrous in my view. Always online DRM? Online cash shop BS? This is most certainly NOT the Diablo 3 I am looking for. As much as I have been wanting Diablo 3 for years now, it's very unlikely I'll be playing this MMO wannabe.

I actually believe that, if your MB/s would be Mb/s.

And YES it is sneaking when they don't offer you an option when installing to disable it, only when it is already running.

Aaaand we're done here. Thanks for playing.

Man you guys can't take a joke. In all seriousness though, yeah Blizzard's graphics are a joke.

I have yet to successfully get the Steam back up to work properly. I've backed up the "common" folder wih all the games & they never seems to work & I've used the in house back up tool & that has never worked for me either. Might just be me?LOL!

though it was such an abortion of a game that I can't imagine anybody that bought it at release is still playing it - the co-op had so many issues with lag and missing textures I gave up.

But fortunately for my side of the argument, it is a fact that most gamers are online.

You seem to get your facts from the same place that Cevat Yerli, Mr. "our game would have sold 20 times more if not for piracy".

The only fact I'm seeing demonstrated here is that you are a troll AND an idiot (your words, by the way), and you're one of those gamers that as long as they have no problem with the requirements, they don't care if the rest of us can go to hell.

Blizzard already spoke about finishing D3 SOLO, i.e., as a single player game. Your arguments suck. You want to pay them more for an inferior product, whatever, but don't take the rest of us for idiots.

Oh, and if you live in central new york and have an affordable, reliable net connection, congratulations. The rest of us don't. And the rest of us is the majority of the world. And that's a fact.

Because I say so.

And because it is.

Look it up.

You like the backwards step in graphics? (It looks barely as good as Torchlight)

Too bad Torchlight barely plays as good as Diablo 1 (so much for that promised multiplayer).
