WAY too may low effort indie games these days. Just cashing in on the moment for a few bucks. Why can't gamers see a lot of these games are just a side hustle for low brow programmers?

First RPG I ever played. Played it on a C-64 too!

937 hours on this game. It's awesome and the mod community is amazing. So many possibilities and a random generated world with points of interest. The changes coming are only going to make the game more fun to play.

Stuff just works.

dark and darker was on the hype train. This seems like it's going to slow them down.

This is certainly going to affect the momentum and business.

Likely the entire reason they did this. If they have a similar product in the pipeline it's in their best interest to slow down Dark and Darker to beat them to retail release. Then they can look like Dark and Darker is just a copy cat.

I was in the closed beta on PC Diablo 4 has controller support built in and it's extremally well done. It was a very enjoyable experience and the way i plan to play on release. This is coming from someone that has played all the diablo games on PC with thousands of hours in D3 across all it's seasons.

Diablo 4 is going to be a good game and satisfy a lot of ARPG fans. Not all of them of course, but most I suspect.

!00% of all women required a man to make their birth happen. I wonder how many moms could stay at home and raise the kids and feed the family without dad out there bringing in the money to support that ability?

See how that argument splits both ways when you aren't biased?

I'm not sure who they think will buy this. It was a great game 21 years ago. You can't release a 2 decade old game with zero updates and enhancements and ask people to pay $30 bucks for it.

OK, but who even plays a game 8 years old that did not already own it. Get a grip Epic?

I'm so sorry for your loss Blue. I've been around since this was Redwood and a Quake only website. I recall when you got Gunner and have enjoyed all your talk about him over the years. I just lost my 15 year old Cat Luna on Friday. She had been in bad shape all week and when I got home from work Friday it was as if she held on all day just to get to see me one last time. She died in my arms just an hour after I got home. I know the pain you feel all to well right now. The blessing in it all is the wonderful life we gave them and they in turn gave back to us. The love of our little ones will live on in our memories long after the pain of their loss

So a bit of Destiny 2 and a bit of Borderlands 2 with a splash of APB. Gotcha.

The missing titles are:

You missed Bulletstorm. Yeah I know a throw away title. However, I bought it and at the time forgot my normal GFWL login, was drunk, so I created a new one for this title. Shortly after only playing the first 30mins or so I had a HD crash. To this day I can not for the life of me figure out what i used for the login and none of my standard e-mails work for recovery. I suspect and error of Microsoft's end involving the CD-key since I can't seem to find what e-mails it linked to.

I'd like to give the game a try just for the hell of it but can't due to it's crap ass DRM.

So, recommended still shows XP but asks for 4gb ram? Can we please stop supporting an OS that, other than 64-bit version, can't even do 4gb?

Microsoft is scant months from dropping XP yet devs keep supporting it.

They tried quantum state mapping but due to super positioning all you got was one pixel.

If you paid early on you where not just paying for alpha access you were funding the kickstarter.

Now that the game has reached Alpha stage it is no longer a kickstart. Implying they had the initial funding they needed. Please reference the concept of a kickstart.

So now that it is Alpha, and still apparently in need of more money, I would expect a lower cost of entry.

Keep in mind the simple fact of kickstarter games. You're concept and design of a game was so far off the market that no major company wanted to fund it. You had to turn to the general populace to fund your idea and get it off the ground. You now got that initial funding and want more help testing and refining said game.

At this point if you want more money your either, missed project cost projections, or enough normal folsk still don't back your idea. Now you can choose to try to make the game you want with the money you have or ask for more via alpha access.

Asking for more than the kickstart is just greed at this point as, in my opinion, you are asking others to back a flimsy or unoriginal idea at best.

Kickstarters are a good idea in theory. I worry that too many people are now abusing them as a way to make quick cash off of good will games or worse just flat out rip-offs.

Make a game worth my money or the best you can with what you have.
