| I've tried to love it (I'm a huge 4X fan) but it's got some pretty dramatic gotchas in it, lot of missing options, unintuitive combat etc. The core of the game is good but it does need a lot of tweaking. |

It'd be nice if you would include the game type in the article, Blue. This will help me determine if the article is relevant to my interest without leaving your site.
First/3rd person shooter MMO favouring action over stats.
I've got a 1-2 spare closed beta invites still if anyone wants one, but I'll need an email addy to send it to (that's how they do their invites). |

Not that I disagree with a lot of what has been said, particularly re: their pricing setup, but the game has actually come forwards leaps and bounds since they first went to open beta. Weapon balance is starting to shape up (although if they'd done a variant on TT rules rather than throwing that out it wouldn't have been nearly the problem it is) and netcode has stabilised a lot (you can actually shoot lights now... go figure). Plus they've added some truly big maps to take advantage of significant long range weaponary.
This though... I was looking for an interesting campaign meta game where you could either play pvp or pve to take planets etc, but considering how long it took them to turn out two reasonably large maps, I doubt we'll get much variety when the meta campaigns arrive (oh look, it's lake colony on Robinson... Capella... Tien... etc). |

I don't know who Jay Wilson thinks he is talking to when he makes statements like this, but anybody who cares enough to read it is informed enough to know it makes zero sense no matter how much of a fanboy you may or may not be.
He's talking to people like this (one of the comments on the linked article):
This post made me think more about Blizzard. I'm glad to see that they realise the mistake they went. I tought Activision affected them so bad.
+1 Blizz in my book.
Those kinda people will use this as a rationale that blizzard has surely improved, so we should buy their next expansion/game right?
If anyone wants to see the fanboism you only need a brief peruse of the D3 bnet forums to see rabid people continually coming up with new and interesting permutations to explain away what is patently obvious to anyone with eyes.
They don't want to admit the truth so they ignore it. The same fight you'll have with any group who denies something in the face of overwhelming evidence (anecdotal or actual) to the contrary.
If they enjoyed D3, great, more power to em, but it's a hard sale to conclude that it is a good game objectively, or that it lives up to it's franchise in any way shape or form... |

Sad thing is, I uninstalled Path of Exile. It seemed fun and then I... just lost interest. Other things came out worth playing, and my time is at a premium. I guess the Diablo-style games just aren't doable any more for me. I don't have that kind of time to waste farming shit.
Diablo 1 and 2 came out in a relative vacuum, the only other ARPG's at the time were pretty basic and you literally waited months for a good game to come out, and you certainly didn't have digital distribution for the most part (unless you count FTP warez over dialup "digital distribution" ;).
The ARPG formula works well when there isn't much competition, or if you're playing co-op. The games themselves don't really bring any serious storyline to the table, it's just "kill everything between you and the end and get loot".
These days? You have quite literally more options than you can poke a stick at. Hell, I've taken a break from online stuff just to knock over a bunch of steam sale games I've been "meaning to play" for up to 2 years. ARPG's are fun but the fun peters out quickly when it turns in to a grind. I didn't even make max level in the D3 demo before losing interest (and in retrospect, I'm pretty glad I didn't bother). |

I play it in 3 monitor surround and it feels seriously awesome.
I've been pretty critical of the game to date with it's abandonment of tabletop rules in an effort to spice up the action (ie. make it more than one shot every 10 seconds per gun), but they are finally getting the balance worked out so that it doesn't feel like most of the weapons are crap. Still a few FOTM WTFOP builds but generally you get better mileage from playing as a team than from some of the early stomp em all type builds. |

For a video game it was an awesome movie..
And for noting, it looks like it was being played on a console rather than a PC. The turning of the character (and how they always travel in straight lines) are usually a dead giveaway of a controller being used rather than a mouse, which tends to be more jerky as players twitch around.
The helo crash was impressive though. |

/fucking lol
As an Australian player, I rolled on a US server because Aus servers weren't available at go live.
I burned out before they came online but moved my toons when the notification went out they were available (after F2P), logged in for 15 mins, lol'd and logged out. It was pathetic.
Now they get shuffled back and still there is no impetus to play.
In the words of Liz Lemon, "SHUT IT DOWN!"... |

and how many? 18 of them.
From what I can tell, its skins and weapons. Alone with some pay 2 win stuff like agility and silencer stuff.
And if you're playing vanilla with any DLC, g'luck getting a game at all (you get excluded from any served game that contains DLC maps even if they are playing a map you have access to).
Single player was an enjoyable game but their MP is such a blatant cashgrab it's not funny... |

Which is still about 100x better then ATI/AMD's driver support Beh. Having had both cards of the previous generation? They're about equal in terms of spottiness at times with the drivers.
Bingo. I had a 680 4gig which I think was bricked by a driver update (the auto-overclock feature seemed to go haywire after the 310 odd update and the card progressively got worse until it just wouldn't play anymore). Got a 7970 and the thing just refused to play any game fault free (yet benchmarks were crystal clear). Both companies are hardly covering themselves in glory irt drivers imo. |

People need to get off the "Oh no, DRM!" rap. It's not DRM. It's something much worse. It's playing on human psychology to get more money out of you.
Can't deny this analysis. Also sucks time, which is why I almost never play with other people, except a few times a month with my bro and nephew.
It's funny, I noticed something similar with Tomb Raider multiplayer. Now that the first DLC pack has gone out, people with vanilla can't join a DLC owners MP game, and most people playing MP seem to have the DLC. I have not successfully joined one MP game since buying the game (which was value for money for the SP alone), and it seems like MP DLC is popular enough that missing out on it means you complete forgo MP. Buy DLC or else in other words.
I'm glad Simcity is "not my bag baby" and I wasn't tempted to look at this at all. A friend of mine who is a big simcity nut just reloaded the 10 year old version and is having a ball (with no possibility of having a server switched off on him). |

the single player is worth $60
Good thing I got the steamcode from Ozgameshop.com for 36 bucks... ; )
nVidia surround works flawlessly btw (performance is fine across 3 monitors, 6080x1200 rez on mostly high details).
Only gripe is multiplayer (which is a completely unexpected options) looks fun but currently it's impossible to get a game with the crappy "quick join/no game browser" system. Pretty happy though overall. |

yeah for sure, it could all end up being woefully innacurate, but at the moment, it looks like they're not banning. i can't really say more than that, i haven't done a chargeback myself, i enjoy the game. I'm only going off of what forum posters who claim to have tried a chargeback are saying.
Well then it's incredibly bad advice considering people may have a stable of games linked to their EA account...
"Oh yeah, I listened to this anonymous forum guy who said I should be fine and now I've lost all my titles, wtf EA!!!"
In cases where you might have more than just Simcity on your account, and in the face of EA saying it will ban people for chargebacks, discretion might be the better part of valour for people who own other EA games... Saying otherwise, and I'm guessing you would never take responsibility if your advice turned out to be false, is downright nasty. |
