Nepenthe Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Penny Arcade sure can be cowardly apologists when it counts! Nice to know they don't change! Always fun to see people's reactions when they are the butt of a joke. This one's pretty good, right here. That's not a simple joke, and you're being intellectually dishonest right now. Then again, not news for you. The difference between trolls and me is that trolls provoke you to make you snap in a childish way, while I try to provoke thinking, when I perceive a lack of it. Of course, I probably have a really low success rate, but it hasn't stopped me, yet. You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that?

Your perception about my choice to make a point is woefully misplaced. I think that actibliz are colossal tools, and my opinion is only amplified by their drm solutions. However, I also view people who create elaborate scenarios (hotel wlan?) to make it appear that such a drm would give anyone any practical problems as tools. In fact, I think most people are tools (including probably myself), but that's neither here nor there... Edited August 10, 2011 by Nepenthe You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that?

Purkake Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 I think Q4 is pretty backed up as it is. I'm sure game is good to go, though(and has been for a while). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgoth Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 That depends how well the Beta is going. If the whining is enormous, expect a delay into 2012. Rain makes everything better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nepenthe Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 The yearly CODs essentially guarantee that every Q4 is backed up these days . You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that? Reapercussions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgoth Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Blizzard never cared about the competition. They have released games in December, January, February, July.... and they always sold tons. Rain makes everything better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

entrerix Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 im guessing december at the earliest, but more likely feb or march Killing is kind of like playin' a basketball game.

LadyCrimson Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 It's a Blizzard game, enormous whining is guaranteed even if it is the best game ever made. Too true. ....you guys kill me. I may not be purchasing the game, but I'll definitely be keeping an eye on the YT Let's Plays and hearing from my buddies about what they think of it. It's always interesting to watch the hoopla over a Blizzard title even if one isn't playing. I didn't buy SC2, either, because I didn't even like SC1 so just not interested...but it was fun to hear about it from friends and articles. “Things are as they are.

Purkake Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Thank you, thank you, I'm here all week. Going to the WoW forums, you'd think it was still in beta and long abandoned by Blizzard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
entrerix Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 it's weird, i really feel like blizzard, and the players of blizzard games, became very very different after WoW was released than what they were like before WoW. like, nowadays if someone says they love blizzard, you could bet $1000 that they play or played WoW, and you would be making a REALLY safe bet that they probably weren't big Warcraft: Orcs and Humans fans.

Purkake Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 (edited) People were complaining about SC1 endlessly as well. I think the internet has done a relatively good job at isolating the WoW stuff to its own little corner. Edited August 10, 2011 by Purkake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blarghagh Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Yeah, Blizzard fans have always been like this. I think the WoW forums aren't even as bad as the WCIII community was after Frozen Throne apparently "broke the game" according to all the whiners.

entrerix Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 (edited) for fun, my rank of blizzard games (ranked according to how awesome i thought they were AT THE TIME OF RELEASE, not what i'd most like to replay today) 1. Diablo 1 2. Warcraft 2 3. Starcraft 4. Warcraft 1 5. Diablo 2 6. Starcraft 2 7. Warcraft 3 (these are the only blizzard games i've played, so i can't judge the others) Edited August 11, 2011 by entrerix Killing is kind of like playin' a basketball game.

Except I didn't play WC 1 and 2 until much later, when the novelty had long worn off. Lost Vikings would be right under Diablo 1, for me.

entrerix Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 (edited) despite the fact that its been a while since blizzard released a game that truly blew me away, my expectations are extremely high for diablo 3. i'm probably going to take the day off work to play it when it gets released edit: and while i did actually play lost vikings, it was only for a few hours at a friends house when we rented it from blockbuster, i didn't know it was a blizzard game until about 10 years later.

Apart from the Lost Vikings which was a nice little game, for me Blizzard is the video gaming equivalent of Satan. They're the proof that for every effort to make a Baldur's Gate II and Homeworld, there'll be someone to make an insidious counterpart that akin to James Cameron's movies further retards the generally low standards of the masses, by giving them what they want instead of what they need.

entrerix Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 (edited) really? i don't remember diablo 1 being avatar. i remember it being awesome. diablo 2 was a little disappointing, but only because of how good diablo 1 was. edit: also.... didn't diablo predate baldurs gate?? how could it be the insidious counterpart? i think you either need to refresh your memory, or we're talking about two different things...

Diablo 1 was an arcade clickfest posing as an RPG. I'm aware of the chronology, but its not important as I was essentially taking about popularity and making a broad comparison. Besides, Diablo II and BGII were released at the same time if I recall correctly.
