Diablo I

[DBThanatos]

Sorry for bumping, but I had to mention that I loved Diablo (1), I kinda liked the expansion. I enjoyed Diablo 2 (though, I could never finish it without a "hero editor" to give me more skill points), and Im hating already what I see about diablo 3.

I do have a problem (like many people) with the art direction of the game, but I was willing to leave that aside and give it a shot. Now, with the announcement that even for SP you must be online all the time, it really really drove me away. Is not because of "OMG IM GONNA GET IT PIRATE AND I DONT WANT THEM TO KNOW", but because where I live, I easily loose connection. I used to hate Steam until I saw that even without internet connection, you can open it just fine, and play your games just fine, which is great for me.

Also, if at some point I go broke (because I have gone through that before) and I cannot afford internet connection say, for a couple months? Then what? Screw me? I cannot afford internet so Im not worthy to play your game I already paid for? That's what bothers me so much. Im not getting that game, now Im sure of that.

Always-online will soon be simply forced on everybody.

80 % of people don't care about these things. If you belong to the 20 % who do, the game industry doesn't care about you.

You cannot change it because most people simply can't be arsed to care about anything besides themselves.

Divide and conquer, it's the same old thing - the Romans already did it. You will adapt, or you will perish, because you're powerless and you're a minority if you care about these things.

You're a minority if you're smart, pretty much. Which is a flaw in evolution theory.
