awesome, go team David! (against Goliath)

Along came Assetto Corsa and killed 2 birds with 1 stone. Being Simbin and Gran Turismo on PS3. too bad, but that's a tight marketspace that Assetto Corsa won over with all the right ingredients.

Project Cars is expected to come and steamroll this entire parkinglot as well, come November.

I wrote all that I did, solely because I loved D1 and D2, but my heart fell out unassistedly with Diablo3. The signs are everywhere. You could even be a Blizzard mole, becuase there ARE thousands of them out there moderating forums world wide.

I wanted D3 to succeed, I really did. Heck, I even wanted the Auction House to mature into something that could be fair to all those that chose to either PAY or grind their way there,

THE FUCKING PROBLEM THOUGH, is that the TIME everyone invested NEVER EVER got to have the same items that you could buy outright. Time is money, to an extent (time is more valuable) , but how many people that put in over ten thousand hours into finding nothing as worthy as a post $60 item on the auction house, that is a design issue.

This game does NOT reward farming, that is bad point #1.
This game does not offer its forum unique avatars, because apparently , they are all the same ====> LABRATS
This game does not offer any haunting feelings, they are all smoothed over with WOW ART. why is the scariest features about Diablo 3 have to be endearing or almost apologetic to the viewer?
The changes you speak of, are TEMPORARY I mean, less than 1% of the time inbetween updates (I know, you guys at GGG must be choking on laughter at my post)

I'm just emotional like this, I am a responsible citizen, I distribute over 5 Billion dollars of PC hardware annually, I just fucking hate Diablo 3 in its current state. I haven't even logged into seasonals yet, just reading the demise about people getting to lvl 70 in hop jump skip. I don't care, I know I won't reach top 1000, though I could have almost if I really wanted to , as not many more than 1,500 remain playing this game.

I'd not played for a couple months waiting for 2.1.0, but after this shit, I'm completely done with D3. Having a game that doesn't "begin" until level 70 is monumentally fucking stupid, the worst of a laundry list of horrible design decisions carried over from fucking MMO Design 101.

Working as intended. Blizzard knows, EVERYONE knows, that Diablo 1 , and D2, (and D3 supposed to) were and are, better games than World of Warcraft. Since the very inception of D3, it is clear as a glaciers' 1000ft colon, that Blizzard does not want people playing Diablo 3, instead of paying to play World of Warcraft,

this is the sole reason for the countless Nerfs, it is the Anti-Fun agency riding high, getting people back to sustain the WOW cash money bag marquee, until there is really nothing left to do for Blizzard, except to finally one day, give in. which they won't. The successor to WOW is brewing, it should come alongside Half Life 3.

/I know how corporations work.

I will have zero remorse to all the Devs and CEO's in charge up there responsible for the heartache that D3 brought to its franchise, to disenchant us all, once they get into their deathbeds. Zero Fucks to be given then, as now. Thank you for Pissing all over our Diablo 3, you douchebags. spineless. absolutely disgusting.

Blizzard committed corporate suicide with Diablo 3 , even more so with every new patch. Too bad they had to have Diablo having to have coitus with WOW this whole time, what a sham that they can't separate into its own proper franchise, now WOW is dying too, why can't they just let go.... let it go Blizzard, be a man!

see that little Rat on his shoulder on HearthStones front page? yeah, get used to that picture, for it will be your only friend in the end.

/god bless the dev team at Path of Exile.

'to quote: because I'm sure as shit not buying a wheel and pedals'

with all your praise, and expertise, and manlihood,

Why don't you own a wheel already? May I know your reason why? GT5, GT6, now THIS project cars, is the best gaming experience, immersion wise, with a Thrustmaster T500 (or Logitech or Fanatec) that happened to me in my 35 years of playing videogames since TableTop Pong and Loderunner.

finally a proper Simcity2013 eraser! this looks very sweet. purchased.

Hi people, if you are having difficulty at Torment levels (any, 1 through 6) I am willing to bet why. If you are attempting this with your level 60~70 character that you "just" leveled, forget about it.

Take a level 40~45 character with reduced lvl requirement weapons that will Clear the Screen of enemies in T2~6.

Blizzard doesn't want you to really know this, but this is how I'm having fun. 6 Legendaries and 10 plans and 250K gold in 1 hour play this morning.

what fun is there to stress out in lvl 70 gameplay that yields nothing but non-rewarding frustration?

If you're not having fun playing D3, you must quit now. you will do yourself and the direction that gaming trends a huge favor. We musn't let Blizzard dictate conditions on their fanbase. It really has to be the other way around. Vote with not only your wallet, but with your time too. Is your 20,000+ hours invested not worth anything to you?

Hi Blizzard, how about not alienating your dedicated Diablo fanbase, and allowing to separate WoW from them, I know it's not your business model to do so while WoW (the videogame that killed the radio star) is still active.

But can't you just be happy with all the earnings you have thus far, and treat Diablo as it's own proper IP such as Starcraft? Why do you have to piss in our cornflakes day to day with your WoW virus?

Get us a proper lvl 80-99 Necromancer expansion sometime soon in 2015, and grant us a proper gameplay experience, and lets all move on to your new grand game that will carry on for the next 10 to 15 years, HOPEFULLY not WoW-related, lord have mercy.

Fucking awesome. Im kind of sad I sold my G25....:(

I was sad too that day I sold the G25, but I turned my frown upside down, when I bought the Thrustmaster T500RS the very next day.

edit: oops, time to buy back the PS4 I sold by November.

Thank you for the memories, Sony and Gran Turismo.

Project Cars is coming, as the next messiah. Here is only hope that their planned release date announced 3 years ago, will hold true this fall. It is expected to dethrone the fanbase of Gran Turismo on Sony's playdictstation.

But this Grid announcedment is excellent to hold the tide until then. good timing! count me in.

I am purely digital with EA as well, .|. , my middle digit.

Fuck you electronic arts for destroying the C&C franchise.

I like the opening cutscene, as all Diablo cutscenes. worth most of my $59 alone to see it, as I hope those artists are properly rewarded.

Is that the cutscene that was already freely available on youtube? Sure its nicely done, but Jeees can they pile on the cheese any higher????

The sky is the limit for creating a tower of cheese, that caters to the World of Warcraft generation, as this game was designed from the get go, to cater to them as a mini-game, or a diversion.

If you had the chance to attend any Activizion / Blizzard meeting, this was the biggest rectangle atop their corporate flowcharts.

<=== I like coookies.

I leveled my lvl 60 witch doctor this morning, from 60 to 61 , it took about 10 minutes. The few rare items that dropped were all lvl 59 requirements, and subpar rolls. just fyi.

I haven't bought an online Battlenet blizzard game ever, and ran into potential problems last night, where I had them call me via support ticket. I bought RoS, with no email confirmation whatsoever. as my email is non-existant, it is used only to login to battlenet. so I had no code to redeem. but apparently, as soon as you buy it, it's done internally. now if and when i was to reinstall D3, it will be installed automatically as RoS. I think 'everyone' D3 has become RoS, except for the last act V which is not unlocked if you didn't buy it.

the music is good too, I was awakened by melodies I thought was coming from my alarm radio.

Well the 12 14 year wait is fine by me, I am glad I decided to miss out on the last two years of torture. How did you all do it?

I been playing on and off (casually) the last two weeks leading up to the expansion which I will buy, sometime next week, after the 1st long maintenance outage, and 6 hotfixes. In the mean time, I'm having fun replaying all neglected characters, I brought them all to 60 in Master mode in 2 weeks.

It's an okay game now. I did miss the combat animations. POE still wins hands down on total immersion / support factor.

Blizzard , please do hurry up with the LVL 90-100 Necromancer Expansion, can we get it within 2 years? do we have wwaaaiiit agggaaiiinnn to play mundane characters leading up to this final xpac?

great timing! looks like I'll be playing this instead of D3 vfuckyoufans2.01

yeah, but.... but.... the story and art! it still reeks of WOW!

very tempting to reinstall, I haven't played since 1.04 and the apparent direction Blizzard took with this game, I pass.

I also haven't touched on POE in a while, but damn I can't wait till Assetto Corsa goes full release!

I bought this game, simply because the creator deserves the $20 whether I find the time to play it, or not.

that and it makes me feel a little less evil for having bought Simcity 2013 last year.

Who wants to bet $1,000 with me that something is coming to replace this 'Auction House' as soon as RoS goes gold? Blizzard is turning the knife into the fanbase with this franchise, to keep the WoW machine well oiled.

They turned the Barbarian into an elemental wizard.

I don't need glasses, do I?

Changed damage type from Physical to Fire
Changed damage type from Physical to Lightning
Changed damage type from Physical to Cold

what a fucking crock of shit!

you want to give Blizzard money for this? LAWL!
Have you no shame? no spine? principle? integrity? please do yourselves a memorable service, and donate $60 to your local charitable organization, instead of fuelling the corporation headed by Bobby Kokedicks. You'll feel so much better about yourselves!

enjoying PoE for all its worth its weight in integral gold.

The Diablo universe is dead, Diablo WAS Blizzard north, period. When multi billion dollar Blizzard got rid of them they thought they could do it better and this pile of flaming dung is what we got.

Chris Metzen couldn't write a story to save his life, putting Jay Wilson in charge of making the game destroyed it as well. The entire concept could not of been more poorly designed and executed. Loot 2.0, getting rid of the AH, all of it is perfume on a pig, doesn't change what is fundamentally wrong with the game.

I really don't care and don't support Blizzard as a company anymore.

I Have Grim Dawn now and the alpha alone is as close to the fun i have had to Diablo 2 as i am going to get from any ARPG and I have tried them all.

+1

Poe is damn excellent too. To those who say combat is stiff, the variety and atmosphere and game changing progress tree totally overshadows this minor shortcoming. add to the fact that I am having MORE fun than I ever did in the dismal experience that was Diablo3.

PoE, have singlehandedly dethroned the new Diablo iteration. Well done GGG.
