Re: Activision Blizzard Adding Oversight

I may be a bit out of the loop, but all this yelling for heads and change... what exactly are the aggrieved suggesting Activision Blizzard do? I mean concretely? I've yet to see anyone speak about this, it's mostly just a lot of noise and "we won't take it!", which is fine, but much better if there was a "... and here's what we can do about it in the long run" added to it.
Firing Bobby Kotick won't magically make the workplace different. A culture change needs much more than that, but knowing a little more than "he has to go" would be a start imo.

So as many people played this than the most popular iterations of Civilization? That makes me oddly sad.
Will I keep these games when I stop subscribing, or how does this work?

They didn't want to go the route of Project Diablo or Path of Diablo, purists will like it that way.
I was disappointed in this.
Mainly because there weren't the same amount of urns and barrels I like to normally smash, but simple quality-of-life fixes like autosorting inventory and other things Diablo Project has made normal aren't implemented. (https://www.projectdiablo2.com/)
The new intro is too long as well, just too much fill and too little substance.
After years of not playing D2 I started playing Path of Diablo two months ago to get ready for D2R and I liked the extra onbody inventory space and runes stacking and a few others QoL I would have liked to be ported on D2R but I won't be upset because of this. Auto gold pickup is great though!
Fair points. Wow, I didn't realize the intro was that long originally. Nostalgia rose-tinted etc.
I still feel there were way, waaaay more stuff to smash in the original

Fantastic news! Game list isn't the greatest though...
Pinball Fantasies was far, FAR superior to Dreams
Cannon Fodder
Robocod
Lotus
Lost Vikings
Lemmings
... need to exist on this system. Perhaps Monkey Island and Superfrog too, and... I better stop
That said, Simon the Sorcerer and Chaos Engine are classics, and Zool, Alien Breed and Battle Chess are all right.

As disgusting as this is, German officials have confirmed, that the number is hugely inflated. These users created a new account for every visit, but it is still staggering.
I remember reviewing this game about 20 years ago on the Playstation 2. There was also a sequel: Dark Alliance 2. Fun games.
Strange they couldn't come up with a different name with all the cool scenario names in the WotC archieve!

Dying Light was an absolutely fantastic coop game! Such great -gameplay- with the parkour/shooter combination. It never felt like a grind, and was always exciting.
I am still looking forward to a sequel, even if it's a shame that they apparently can't limit the scope.
For anyone who hasn't played Dying Light, give it a shot.

For me though, I think I'd have a tough time enjoying & d2's one spell at a time. But then again I'd still give it try.
Sorry what do you mean? 1 spell at a time?
iirc - You have to manually change skills before you can use them at all, for example manually having to press F1-F8 to access whatever skills you have bound to those buttons, then you can use "right-click" that skill.
You have Fireball bound to F1, Teleport to F2. You have to press F1 to select Fireball, if not already selected, then you can use it (right click), to teleport you then have to press F2 to select teleport then you can use it (right click). By today's standards that god awful.
Where-as in other games, like PoE and Diablo 3, you can have however many active skills allowed bound to whatever mouse/keyboard button you want and only have to press that button to actually "use" the skill.
What a fantastically precise and thorough explanation. Reference point for the future. GJ, Cram.

I could get behind a Cyberpunk77 like Star Wars game though. Shiiiiiiiiiit, imagine what CDPR would do with a Star Wars license?
Gives me goosebumps just thinking about it.....
Never going to happen. Disney are way too politically correct and goody-feely to ever allow CDPR to make anything close to what we want them to. Disney are an american entertainment conglomerate with a huge leftist lean, and CDPR are Polish people mostly. ;-)
They gave the Star Wars IP to a French company who's protected sexual abusers for over a decade and barely did anything when found out... I'm pretty sure from a "politically correct" and "lean leaning" standpoint CDPR would be a huge upgrade over that.
As for this game Massive has said its going to be a big departure from anything they've done so I very much wouldn't expect it to be star wars division style. I wish I could get excited for the possibilities, but ubi being such a shit company has managed to ruin even the thought of buying their games.
Apart from the sexual abuse, this sounds amazing! A large departure from their standard formula would be something I'd check out. Thanks for that info!

I'd love for the company who did Dying Light to make a Star Wars game. I bet that would be amazing.
Star Wars: Division... I dunno.

Spelunky is hands down one of the most fun games I've ever played, and I started with the AMIGA 2000.
I can't WAIT to sink my teeth into this new one, and what a cheap, cheap price it has too! Just amazing news!
