I can not wrap my head around this statement. I realize it is an opinion but still. I had to comment  |

I'm just whip-shy from all the JA reboots, the 2 originals from Sir-Tech are easily in my top 5 game list. The rest, eh.
I just downloaded the demo of X-Com. I shall judge for myself. |

Wow a lot of anger in this thread.
I am enjoying the game quite a bit, after I turned my TV to game mode the input lag decreased considerably (yes I'm playing on a PS3, I enjoy shooters from a recliner) I had thought it was broken, but I always forget about the damn TV settings. I'm happy with my load out and weapon drops at this point but I'm only level 17 so nowhere near endgame.
I can't wrap my head around co-op. It seems like it would only be fun in a LAN setting, which would explain some reviews I've seen. I generate much less cash and weapons in public games. I've seen massive amounts of hoovering where items disappear after I thought I had picked them up, I'm guessing from lag. Everyone in a mad dash towards the story mission, or they stand around doing nothing.
The story is terribly hard to follow since most events happen off screen because I just happen to be in the wrong place, or they already know where to go. So I stopped playing multiplayer.
Other than that pretty decent game. |

Hyperion weapons don't degrade accuracy over time, though, they improve; The first shot has greatly reduced accuracy, it's the later ones that have the dead-center spread to them.
The longer you hold the trigger, the more accurate they get. It usually only takes a few bullets to draw a bead on 100% accuracy, so with something like an SMG or AR with a decent sized magazine Hyperion weapons can be pretty good.
The Hyperion smg's are my favorite weapon. If you don't mind emptying a clip it is enjoyable. I also use the assault rifles quite a bit. Found a few with 70+ ammo capacity. Got a nice one with corrosive makes quick work of armored targets and mobs that charge at me with little down time. |

| Not that it really matters but they raised the skill gains by a factor of 10 in June I think and it still didn't make it any more fun or interesting since the community in that game is so terrible. |

Sorry to hear so many tales of woe, but I've put about 5-6 hours into this current patch, with my WD and Barb, and I'm enjoying it a lot so far.
Witch Doctor has been buffed immensely, in my opinion. Not only are pets actually viable in inferno(WD is steamrolling Act 2 now, in MF gear) but they fixed all the animation lag issues for the Witch Doctor attacks, as far as I can tell. Aka casting Ghost Bomb doesn't take a century, it's about as fast as a wizard or DH cast, in terms of animation time. I actually had a 90+ kill spree on my WD with a pet/Acid Rain/Ghost Bomb build, in one of the Kulle bodypart dungeons(Act 2 Inferno).
Compare that to patch 1.03, when my WD was running for his life just trying to kill 1 elite, I'm killing 2-3 at a time now with ease. Arguably my WD is my strongest character now, it's crazy.
Barbarian didn't get quite as good of a buff, but I'm actually progressing with a DPS/Seismic Slam build in Act 3 Inferno, so I can't complain.
I'm going to try out the monk changes today, but my monk is relatively undergeared compared to my WD/Barb.
No RMAH, no GAH use by the way, aside from buying some Tomes of Secrets on the GAH when I first got to Inferno! 
Note: Got one of the new legendaries also, but it's a level 52(50?) shield, Centurion or something. It's ok, my DH might use it briefly.
Also, softcore only for me, the netcode/hitbox code doesn't lead me to want to risk the rage-related computer damage of Hardcore.
*EDIT* WD is paragon level 2 already, ruby in the helm socket of course.
It is nice the WD has more than 1 or 2 viable builds now, but the game is still boring. Killing stuff easier just doesn't interest me.
Once they implement a more random map generator call me. I don't like knowing what direction everything is. |

Exactly, though oddly most of the people complaining about it really claimed to have loved D1 & D2. It was always an item drop hunt (or ladder grind if that was your thing). Not sure what games these people played, but they certainly weren't Diablo titles.
I played D2 for the random.
The game was fun because I could get lost in a dungeon and be rewarded for it. Accidentally hitting a barrel would provide an item that was invaluable. Or finding a weird combination of skills on a boss I would split the pack and work them down (these days called kiting). They built a game that was fun in itself, not an afterthought.
The current blizzard model is to piecemeal out an experience while catering to the topper or rather the end game enthusist. The game industry is too fond of their elite players, and the top tier end game enthuists. Those folks drive the media and blogs turning the actual content that was enjoyable into a race to see who could bypass it the quickest. D3 is a product of that mentality. Carefully crafting a game that would "setup the players for an endgame that is longlasting and relationally worthwhile".
I'm not one of those players and hence I don't play online competitively anymore. I prefer to enjoy a game; avoid walkthroughs and spoilers and really involve myself in the storyline.
Sorry for the wall of text, but D3 team has proven they wanted to be very conservitave in their itemization. They go to such lengths to dribble out mathematic facts about the engine and logic they used to determine gameplay. This is a smoke screen for the fact that they unveiled a marketplace and are very worried about the $$$ that roll in. They were not creating a trade space to benefit the player. This was a viable source of income that would make them all rich. Maybe they were in the first revision but now it is just the waterfall model. |

Wow this is exactly what I was waiting for. Replaying the game 4 times wasn't enough, I needed another hamster wheel to jump on.
This reminds me of Warhammer online with the player level and the PvP level. So much fun. |

I know more about the mechanics of this game than any I've actually played for a long term and devoted myself to; I haven't sought out any of it beyond reading articles on Blue's and other sites. Not a beta player but I did buy day one.
I don't care what ilvl something is. I'm not concerned with drop rates or any other arcane internal logic. I was looking for a fun albeit mindless game to kill time with. They delivered a 15 hour game with a marketplace.
Just seems like a huge smoke screen to distract from the fact that their proof of concept auction house game didn't shatter every record for entertainment since the invention of the transistor. |

Why doesn't anyone point out the draconian update measures Steam forces on it's consumers.
I had sworn off the platform however the discounts were unavoidable.
Why can't they leave all versions open and have a opt in process for which version to play. The underground sharing of exe's in the forums? |

AC topped the dung heap of MMO's. Large world fun to run around in. Very limited instances, no stacked instances of zones. Monthly events. No classes. Jump was a skill that paid off  One full PvP server. $10 a month sub fee. No weird level based damage limit (attacking something too high level being impossible) Too bad they didn't make a true sequel to it.
AC2 was a stinker.
Why don't any new AAA MMO titles try any of these? From what I've read SWOTROWRS is just a WoW ripoff. |

I have the strong feeling Diablo III was created as a marketplace game. More a proof of concept than an actual game (i.e. semi-rewarding grind).
I believe they created the game to show the power of the market and the depravity of those who obsess. All those semi-news shows about gamer obsession should get a mole in Act-Blz. I'm sure their nipple nuts would spin. |

Another tab target game bites the dust. So long massive waste of money game.
I'm tired of every service thinking it can charge me yearly or monthly, or monetize every moment of interaction.
That said I have zero hope for GW2, the original was boiler plate. Instances are the death of modern day gaming. |
