WHAM, DIABLO III UP THE ISOMETRIC ASS!!!
July 3rd 2008, 04:20 CEST by m0nty Just to keep it all in one place. And by "it" I mean the slobbering fanboiism and the rare sane voice among the mob. |

#46 by bishop Warcraft 3 was not the same game as warcraft 2 and fuck you gaggle for making me scroll through the rest of the posts to post this IMMEDIATELY. They were enough alike to be a relevant comparison in this context. WC3 was more of the same, though the things they did change didn't make it much enjoyable for me. As far as I know the original plans for WC3 were braver, more different from the WC2 formula, but for whatever reasons it ended up being basically a top-down straight RTS. "You can produce nuclear reactions directly through ultra high electric field initiated photodisintegration."

We more or less agree, I'm just getting tired of people saying stupid shit like that. I didn't like warcraft 3 and it's probably the number one reason why I've got no anticipation for starcraft 2 whatsoever. |

bishop (#53): All games are pong. Yes, but the least Blizzard could do would be to paint the paddles a different colour each time. |
|
They're doing one better, they're twisting the springs on the paddles each time so that they don't work properly. |

Shadarr said in #37: At some point in the past, Blizzard actually did come up with the occasional idea. Otherwise they wouldn't have Diablo to iterate on. Who knows why they stopped with that. Would it be so bad to make a game like Diablo that wasn't a total rehash? I guess it would. Actually they bought out the studio that developed Diablo (Condor) about six months before they shipped it. Hence the creation of Blizzard North, which triaged employees steadily ever since until it was shut down in 2005. So basically the same as Valve with Portal, except Valve hasn't fired everyone involved yet. |

Nah, that was a better explanation. Gaggle's is the one that should be stricken from the record. In any case, I won't be buying it because it's PC only, and fuck PC gaming. It'll probably have Starforce. I should maybe join the masses of people buying Diablo 2 though. Witnesses in the house heard Jones say "why did you pee on me Pooh Bear?" A few moments later, the witness heard the son say "Mama you done stabbed me."

G-Man (#60): Actually they bought out the studio that developed Diablo (Condor) about six months before they shipped it. Hence the creation of Blizzard North, which triaged employees steadily ever since until it was shut down in 2005. Can you use "triaged" that way? Does it mean the same thing as hemorrhaged, or was that saying something like "the employees were slowly brought from Blizzard North to Blizzard proper?" |
|
...and no, that's not an attempt at condescension, I'm actually asking. |
|
Hey, this is the internet. Being first is all that matters. But yeah, G-Man's post was much better. Gaggle's even wishy-washy when it comes to facts. "The best experiences are generative experiences. The best stories are player stories." - Will Wright
|
|
Anyway, the thing about Diablo II is that it's still (barely) the best game of its type, despite many attempts to steal away the crown from it over the years. So, as a fan of the clicky RPG, I welcome our predictable Blizzard overlords. It isn't a Fallout game unless I use my pickpocketing skill to place a ticking dynamite bomb into the pockets of an 8 year old boy.

Nah, I gotta give the nod to Fate. "The best experiences are generative experiences. The best stories are player stories." - Will Wright

eggbert: I don't know, but I wasn't intending to use that word in that way. I meant to say hemorrhaged but was in a hurry. |

#65 by BobJustBob Hey, this is the internet. Being first is all that matters. But yeah, G-Man's post was much better. Yes and yes. "You can produce nuclear reactions directly through ultra high electric field initiated photodisintegration."
|

#62 by Shadarr In any case, I won't be buying it because it's PC only, and fuck PC gaming. It'll probably have Starforce. If you keep at it you might just convince yourself you believe that. "You can produce nuclear reactions directly through ultra high electric field initiated photodisintegration."

yes gaggle, you want to get into a sarcasm fight with Shadarr. "Testiculos habet et bene pendentes" - "He has testicles, and they dangle nicely."

Good point LP. Bad point Bob. "You can produce nuclear reactions directly through ultra high electric field initiated photodisintegration."

You should offer to bake him a cookie, that at least involves a little bit of self sacrifice. |^^^^^^^^^^^^ |||__

Bored at work, reading old threads. Dumdeedum on two out of three ain't bad: I reckon the PS3 is actually going to do better than people expect, although given how fashionable PS3 bashing has become, exceeding expectations shouldn't be hard. The price will probably make initial uptake slow but it's only going to get cheaper over time and the hefty technical spec should help for the long haul - the PS2 is still selling after 6 years after all. Whether it'll be as successful as the PS2 or not... who knows, depends on what the games are like I guess. Oh, and they really need to hire a better case design team because the PS3 is one ugly-ass bit of kit. The Wii on the other hand will sell really well initially, then there'll be a big backlash as people realise that the wavy arm stuff sucks, then finally it'll sell much like any other Nintendo console once everyone hooks up their gamepads and plays its gamepad-centred games. And through it all I'll be telling you how much superior I am for sticking with my PC. "The best experiences are generative experiences. The best stories are player stories." - Will Wright

Yeah, well. Dum was obviously wrong about the Wii's gorilla arm effect - morons will inevitably lap up just about anything branded Nintendo. Regarding the PS3... while the Cell sucks every bit as much as the EE did for a console solution, Sony does seem to gradually improve - compared to the clusterfuck that is the 360, obviously. I still find it hard to believe that Microsoft, whose hardwares had been this good, could fuck up to such extent on their second attempt. If not for the thoroughly laughable RRoD debacles, they could have won BIG this time around. Dust. Anybody? No? High in fat, low in fat? Dust. Anybody? No? Dust. It's actually very low in fat. You can have as much dust as you like.
|
|
Actually dum was correct on that count as well. Given the choice between wagglemotion and wavebird, I'll pick wavebird 100% of the time on my Wii. |
|
So you're now attempting to make yourself a representative of the Wii user-base, right? Dust. Anybody? No? High in fat, low in fat? Dust. Anybody? No? Dust. It's actually very low in fat. You can have as much dust as you like.

#17 by m0nty Don't make Hugin angry. He's as excited about D3 as he would be about a new Barbie game. Which is to say, jumping up and down on tippytoes and clapping his hands with glee, giggling like a schoolgirl. Wha? No. The two games I'm jumping up and down looking forward to are LittleBigPlanet and APB, and APB only for character creation. I liked Diablo, never finished Diablo 2, and was happy about the D3 announcement mostly because it didn't turn out to be for some more WoW stuff, which I'd have had absolutely zero interest in. I liked the gameplay movie, I like some of the features of the game engine, I like that there's male and female models for all classes now, I'll probably check out the game when it comes out. On the other hand it'll probably be too long, and the inventories will probably be too small, there will probably be too much bullshit associated with getting the coolest gear, and I think the aesthetic has been somewhat WoW-ified, which I'm not loving, but if they keep it under control and don't go to full WoW garish ugliness, I'll be okay with it.

A game that can finally get me to stop playing Fate. Cheers, Blizzard. \"Making love to a woman is like working on an assembly line. No matter how good you are at it, you\'ll eventually be replaced by a foreigner or a machine.\"

Dear Planetcrap, I proposed to my girlfriend and she said yes. Love, Charles. Videogames! Why waste good technology on science and medicine?
|
|
Cheer them in six years when the game's actually released, bub. |
|
Congrats charles. Fuck you for fucking up my timing! |
|
#76: Yeah, well. Dum was obviously wrong about the Wii's gorilla arm effect - morons will inevitably lap up just about anything branded Nintendo. Nintendo have lost market share in every single console generation until this one, so their success was hardly inevitable, moron. It isn't a Fallout game unless I use my pickpocketing skill to place a ticking dynamite bomb into the pockets of an 8 year old boy.

gg, chuckles. <Hugin_len> Basically, cheesy doesn't have awful taste in music, he's simply very white.
|
|
Also, have fun getting married! It's surprisingly enjoyable. It isn't a Fallout game unless I use my pickpocketing skill to place a ticking dynamite bomb into the pockets of an 8 year old boy.

Awesome, Charles. Congratulations! Invention is the Green Goblin of Necessary Lemonade.

Yay Charles! |
|
Congrats, Charles. |
|
Congratuations, Charles! Good for you! Game Developers: Don't forget the zombie monkeys.

Also, Wall-E was great. Game Developers: Don't forget the zombie monkeys.

Hooray for Charles. Did you put any sort of nerdy twist to the process? "You can produce nuclear reactions directly through ultra high electric field initiated photodisintegration."
|
|
Why would he? He's not you. |
|
Why do you assume I ask it as a positive? "You can produce nuclear reactions directly through ultra high electric field initiated photodisintegration."

#84 by Charles Dear Planetcrap, I proposed to my girlfriend and she said yes. Love, Charles. Hooray! |

So when do the "You're not invited" posts start rolling in? Sabrina Poirier, a student at Pensacola who withdrew in 1997, was disciplined for what is known on the campus as "optical intercourse" — staring too intently into the eyes of a member of the opposite sex. This is also referred to as "making eye babies."

|
Why would Charles invite anyone from PlanetCrap? |
