Poor AMD, but we're behind you, just keep Intel greasing you to stay competitive, don't grow too big, focus on some mainstream things, make PC's cool to upgrade again, like you used to do with the K6-2 , don't copy Intel on your products, sign with Sony or other ... hey, here's an idea, apparently Valve is looking to make their own Hardware Console, go make their CPU!! focus on the gamer and enthusiast market, take your losses now, restructure, lay some off, shit happens, but just don't dissappear.

Or just sell yourself to China, and forever hold your peace.

Torchlight 2 this week too. Christmas in September apparently

TL2 will have to wait, and besides, it will be better 2 or 3 patches in.
I never played BL1, but I will have to give this one a go.
Diablo 3, well, it will float on in my sewage system, until some fish make it a home when it sinks to the bottom of some polluted lake.

Looking very forward to replaying Baldurs Gate EE, and soon to have Generals2, and Simcity 5. And Wii U SMB.

Preordering 100 WiiU;s to resell at Christmas time.

Merrily Merrily Merrily

I can see the DL size nearly doubled. What is so different about Windows 8 drivers?

The previous WHQL drivers were 160MB, these are 175MB. A 15MB increase is hardly doubling in size.

It's probably some conspiracy!!!!!!!!

It must be that watermarking system the USA Homeland of Security picked up on from Blizzard Entertainment. probably now incorporated into Nvidia Kernel. $1,000 to the first one that reverse engineers it!

seriously, you'd think that by removing Aero, and simply drawing large boxes that I can mimic on my etch-a-sketch, the drivers should have fit onto a 720K floppy.

If Facebook P2W games are here to stay and feed the tens of millions of unwashed masses, you can bet your Blizzard dollar that Diablo 3 is here to stay. Mission Accomplished to Blizzard, I'll give them at least that.

PoE is about as shallow as games come. Diablo 1 has more depth and variety.

PC Gamers have been spoiled, emotionally, satisfyingly, with Diablo 1 and 2. These same gamers are being tortured mentally and spiritually, now with Diablo 3. Unfortunately, having played 1 and 2, we long and wish for a great successor to that original franchise. Here is hoping PoE will be able to change its engine along the way. but unfortunately, we have had Diablo1, we all played it, and now there is nothing that will ever top that.

Diablo 3 needs to die a horrible death, and I urge all gamers of today to boycott that corporate lab experiment. I say this because having played many games over the years, this current iteration is absolutely detremental to anyone with a gut and a brain, it is an absolute insult, as to how the AI algorithm in that game, acts as a main water tap, in the hands of some douchebags at Blizzard mission control. I could talk till I'm blue in the face about how everything is horribly wrong with Diablo3, but the problem is it's fucking Diablo! and we all wish it will be like D1 and D2, and we are in denial, I say we, those that still play it. be strong people, abondon ship, and just think of good memories of D1 and D2.

1.2 million raised from kickstarter, that's pretty beans, and here is hoping many more will join such ventures, and topple giants such as EA, UBI, and Blizzard, but don't become like them in the long haul.

PC gaming, we are riding a very very defunct wave right now, let it pass, allow the shitstorms to settle, and hope for new seeds to bring us new great games.

Steam gets consolized. Guess all we'll get from Valve from now on is crappy console ports.

Knowing Valve, they will cater to the PC market, so as long as they still exist, which they do. They are also going full steam ahead to get their products on TV, for family interactiveness, and I'm all for those games, like Rockband, etc.

Knowing the likes of EA however, they totally abandoned the PC market years ago, and have targeted couch potatoes.

I said this before, and I'll ask this again,

dear Valve, Gabe,

please make the next greatest and immersive simulator, i.e car racing game, make it televised, it's all good, but do make your own hardware for it, and smash through both Sony (GT5) and Microsoft (Forza), and you will get much much success with it. thanks!

*Applies palm to face*

So. 5 years of development (around 10 if you go all the way back to Blizzard North) and you're still fucking trying to come up with new game systems and subsystems.

I guess 4.5 of those years were spent refining the RMAH. Funny how *that* system more or less is fine. It's just the actual, you know, GAME that requires monthly overhauls and nerfs.

F**k those losers.

Blizz pisses me off to no end on their constant fucking with the game. First, let’s nerf, IAS, then lets nerf resistances. Then let’s add better Legendaries to the game making existing ones useless. Adding better stats was good, but the drop rates on this gear is astronomicaly low. That really pissed me off; they couldn’t even adjust current weapon and gear to match. Let’s just toss out all the old and add new.

Sounds like to me this was nothing but a plan from the start to get people to buy the newer gear. Now CC is getting wacked too. Next it will be Crit. Then they will make a change to make legendaries even better than they are now.

Blizz just can’t keep their mitts off the game to actually make it better. It’s all about nerfing it to no end and making it worst. They are almost as bad and Lucas and his content fucking with Star Wars.

Just two more weeks and TL2.

"Blizz pisses me off to no end on their constant fucking..."

clearly, what pisses ME off more than anything, is there are still over 19 million fucking losers playing this fucking game developed by that fucking loser.

clearly , Blizzard has won. ask yourselves, or ourselves, why are we supporting them? change begins from within, people.

I present to you, the Diablo 3 development flowchart:
(it is open sourced, feel free to share it)

x (y or n?) ===> you are here , you fucking loser.
yes ==> RMAH
no ==> RMAH
goto x

As much as I enjoyed the single player campaign of Starcraft2, as I was obliterating anything Zerg on the screen, sadly, and frustratingly, I couldn't tell the difference between one unit to the next, and their base structures, all a brown mish mash of poorly drawn art. For this alone, well actually, not alone, for Diablo 3 is the absolute last product I will ever have bought from Blizzard. Can't wait for Generals 2, as well as Valves' new gaming hardware platform, PS4, and yes, even the new Simcity.

Hi Valve, please make a good car driving simulator, with dedicated hardware, wheel, immersion, sounds, etc etc.

for you to succeed, you need to make it realistic, physics wise, like Gran Turismo 5 on PS3.

I heard it from the horses' mouth (from several chinese taiwanese dynasty families) years ago when the first ipad was about to be released, that it would be the continual downfall of the entire pc tech platform. Add the brainwashing masses that buy into this shiny logo cult, mixed with things like vegan defunct metro interface from microsoft, and pay to win gaming across the realm, and we are living in evolutionary hell right now. It is making me despise the IT industry of today, so in a way I thank you, because I can get onto a new hobby, that is to take on music and arts. Fuck computing of today, it's depressing at best.

D3 might have been the best thing that happened to T2's sales.

The sad truth, is that, as soon as we are done with this epic $20 value production of a Diablo clone, we will all jump back into Diablo3, and continue to generate 9 cents per mouseclick over to Blizzard headquarters. I give it 25 days, tops.

Extract 26.4GB "EA_is_Cancer_to_CnC.zip" file to C:\Users\xxxxx\Documents\My Received Files\xxxxx\History

is this how you are going to do this, EA, like last time?

please PLEASE , DO. NOT. TARNISH. Generals2, like you did to CNC 3, 4, and RA3, I BEG of you EA. BE NICE to the new DEV TEAM, and deliver something that is TRULY WORTHY to the LEGACY that is COMMAND & CONQUER.

because, so far EA, all you are good at doing, is COMMAND & BONQUER.

signed, EVERYONE THAT HAS EVER LOVED CNC

p.s, I really am going to buy Gen2, and play it, naturally, but I will get a heart attack, if it doesn't deliver.

don't stray too far from the success of Gen & Zero Hour gameplay.

All we ask for , is much of the same, improved multiplayer experience (no lag), the nice new Frostbite graphics, great!

But please... ugh, just.... don't give me a heart attack.

Why do they want to compete with Borderlands 2?

Because they dont? There are a lot of people who are not interested in Borderlands or vice versa Torchlight at all. Different games, different tastes, different people.

The Absolute best part of anyway you slice it, is that all these different people, playing different games, ...
CAN FINALLY PUT AWAY DIABLO3 FOR GOOD.

r.i.p Blizzard, no re. thx for the memories.

I approach it more like an ARPG with MMO trappings and find it pretty damned fun.

Same here, the game is non-stop! I head to do a quest and along the way a new event pops up and I do that for 15 minutes or so then go back to my quest, ALWAYS something going on.

I also like to play solo a lot, but the events allow me to "virtually" group for events and execute a common goal with complete strangers for a short time (no commitment) and then do my own stuff again, it's a GREAT design. Travelling is very easy, not much time wasted running across a map for no reason.

Playing a Norn Guardian and currently at level 7, been having a great time. It really does merge the feel of an ARGP and MMO together, will be playing this one for a long time.

as a solo player at heart, your quote won me over, will migrate from Diablo3 to this. never played WOW, but I am curious what this GW is all about. should tie me over until Generals 2.

Gaming as of 2012+ and beyond, is serious business, revenue exceeds all other entertainment forms, combined.

There is no stopping publishers, that gaming will cost gamers, eventually, what a meal costs. Have fun playing your favorite games, at $50/day, come 10 years from now, young gamers of today.

It will come to a point, where the mob will take over, and gaming publishers will start assassinating each other, if it imposes a threat on their empire, much like pharmaceutical, automotive, nuclear, areas have in the past.

If you want to relive free gaming, I highly suggest you buy a Commodore Amiga 500 / 2000 from Ebay , as that will be an expensive collectors item, and might even be confiscated, as free gaming come near future, will be a threat to Americas homeland security.

The next era of gaming however, better be fucking worth our dollars, and not what Diablo 3 is, if you want our money, fine, take some, but deliver!

funny how it was the whole banned community to have discovered these additional unlisted items, then Blizzard CM's copy paste their finds into the errata.

I've been a Wipeout fan since the beginning, I've played every Wipeout game ever released. Wipeout HD/Fury were the best, most well rounded of the entire series, and butter smooth as usual. How many games run (most of the time) at 60 FPS 1080p on PS3?

I find it very hard to believe there won't be a PS4 title down the road...

GT5 , driving sim, 1080p, 60fps, all the time, even with 12- 16 drivers multiplayer on the 24hr Nurburgring track. I should give this Wipeout game a try, but I always thought it to be bland, as I prefer actual sims, to this, which is the next best thing I suppose.
