Re: Bethesda Softworks Can Suck It

I have fallout 3, and I must say it lives up to its name. It is a fantastic game and I love playing it.

Bethsoft are doing very well

Kostaskaz, Diablo 3 is a shining example that third person (not necessarily isometric) is still alive. Imagine Fallout 3 in Diablo 3 engine and some actual good voice acting and writing, it'll definately trump all RPGs out there. But no, Beth thought it'd be good idea to (1) rape the Fallout lore (2) hire 10 year olds to write their script (3) hire horrible voice actors (4) write a totally nonsensical and illogical main quest and (5) completely change the SPECIAL system to something that is completely broken and boring.

And Oblivion with Guns is the only way to describe Fallout 3. Yeah it doesn't have VATS or Perks, but neither did it had those memorable Fallout-style characters, black humor, smart writing and non-linear plot.

Add that with the outright lie of "fallout 3 having more than 200 endings", we're stuck with a game with an extremely disappointing ending.

So tell me again... how did FPS work well with Fallout 3 again?

Notice how all the commentors who are in favor of PKing can't write a decent sentence? Yet they think they're tough-as-nails computer jocks?

Newsbreak: PKing people won't change the fact that no one respects you or likes you, online or offline. Enough said.

Blizzard is no longer willing to let a minority of losers ruin everyone else's fun.

Blizzard's also done Pkers a favor: Now can devote all that time they would have spent PKing in Diablo 3 to reading a dictionary. Nah, they'll probably spend it admiring themselves in the mirror or trying to come up with expletives that no one understands.

Re: GameSpot - Diablo 3 Release for 2008?

I'd say October 2009. There is a pattern in announce and release dates from most of the Blizzard games.
With most of the games we didn't have to wait more than a year after the particular game was announced.

Re: Shipment of Fail: Bill Roper Talks About Flagship

Sol Invictus — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 22:42:10 -0000

It's the constant denials and the pushing of the blame that just grinds my gears.

I've been following the game for a very, very long time. I'm frustrated -- deeply so.

The game was a disappointment. Most of us tried to like it. But it certainly didn't turn out the way we wanted it to be. Now, guys like Bill might say that everyone disappointed in the game had 'unreasonable' expectations, but all we wanted from Hellgate was a good game, really. It wasn't.

I even turned down several lucrative offers to sell the website before Hellgate's launch because my colleagues and I wanted to dedicate ourselves to the community, to the game. In addition, we also thought we could eventually get a better deal where we'd have managed to retain total creative control over the development of the website.

When I go to my other website, HellgateGuru.com, and take a look at the population on the forums, a far cry from what it was during its heyday, or even several months after the game's release, it makes me feel a pang of regret. Years dedicated -- to this? What is Hellgate Guru but a monument to an epic failure?

That's pretty much how I feel about it.

Yes it looks like someone is still sore over it, I bought two founders for my daughter and I and I'm not p***ing vinegar over it.

FSS trid to go for the brass ring but overreached, the business reality caught up with them, that's all.

They didn't set out with a plan to screw anyone, why all the hate ? :-|

André — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 20:37:16 -0000

So, is it me, or the article is extremely anti-flagship? In my opinion both "Shipment of Fail" and "Cry some more" were of extremely bad taste. Completely uncalled for.

Just my two cents.

Well, I hope they don't make the same mistakes as their other friends in FSS did in HG:L and Mythos...

d3guy — Sun, 10 Aug 2008 09:56:29 -0000

I am of the same opinion. I have been reading every news source I can find. I don't understand why you would build a website like http://www.Diablo3Release.com if there wasn't a release date forthcoming. More than likely though we are looking at late 2009.

52,000 people? Or a community of a few people signing multiple times?

Just like the Uwe Boll poll, you could sign as anybody you wanted and as many times as you wanted. Online polls mean nothing. It draws attention, yes, but does not cause results.

Diablo III will be good with this art direction! This petition is stupid! 52.000 idiots!

Re: Diablo III’s Art Director Leaves: Drama Ensues

Tachan — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 13:21:30 -0000

No,you all conformists are Wrong.

Art direction is wrong and lame.

You all should educate yourselves.

Don't lose your breath sigma,Internet belongs to this 14 y.o. wankers,or so they think.

Re: Diablo III’s Art Director Leaves: Drama Ensues

Sigma — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 12:59:55 -0000

I see you're taking the Uwe Boll approach, so maybe I should challenge Blizzard's devs to a boxing match instead? Do you have any arguments beneath that pile of swearing and name-calling there, kid? I'm entitled to my opinion just as you are to yours, so please refrain from telling people to shut up in the future.

Amen.

Guest — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 12:16:52 -0000

Wow, you're an asshole. Instead if complaining like a bitch, why don't you apply for that art director position and do something about it. Can't? Then shut the fuck up.

Re: Diablo III’s Art Director Leaves: Drama Ensues

Sigma — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 12:03:01 -0000

Oh sure, because only people who are overwhelmed with unbridled joy at something have the right to voice (or maybe even have) an opinion about it? Don't be a fanboy, it's a legitimate complaint since the game resembles World of Warcraft far more than it does Diablo 1 or 2

Re: Diablo III’s Art Director Leaves: Drama Ensues

Guest — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 10:53:11 -0000

I'm honestly sick of all these damn complaints. I think the game looks fine. If you don't like it, DEAL WITH IT.

Xolan — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 06:49:22 -0000

A FP view just wouldn't suit the game. However, an optional TP view would be cool as an experiment. I'm sticking with isometric though.
