Blizzard releases games when they're ready. Blizzard Has released some of the best, most memorable games of all time. Perhaps there's a link between these two facts....?
 
yeah but seriously these delays and setbacks are starting to get ridiculous... how many friggin wow add-ons are they going to make before they make a new game worth playing?
 
Half the people that CAN even remember some of their great games dont even play games anymore because they have grown up and moved on past playing games. About the only games they watch now are sports and fantasy football leagues while taking the kids to soccer practice... Come on Blizzard, finish a game while it still matters to some of us out here and for f^&ks sake, put LAN play in it!!
 
The time they release a Diablo game is when was a kid to now I am an old man. How long does it take? I will get, but not sure I will have time to play much in 2011? I played the orginal Diablo on the PS1 and PC. the Pc was made for these game, but the Ps1 wasnot too shabby, just a little difficult to do some things, but the basic commond were fine.

That's the point. I'm not going to play their games. The last decent game they produced was almost a decade ago. They have this reputation for "putting the time into" their games, but the one title in the past ten years that wasn't vaporware was a money pit. What does it actually take for a company like Blizzard to lose all their nerd cred and finally get looked at in a realistic light. What have they done lately? In the meantime Blizzard has decided to triple-dip on one title and remove functionality that people actually want from both titles. Forget all you ActiBlizzard apologists, we should be boycotting these games and pointing and laughing at all those morons that are dressing up and attending the annual Blizzard nerdfest costume gala just begging for a new WoW installment news about these mythical titles that get worse by the month.

Okay, i think we get it. You don't like Blizzard. But guess what, i'm pretty much gonna go on a limb and say that at LEAST 11 million people out there disagree with you. Sure, they aren't working on the titles you want, or it the way you want them to. They sure as hell haven't done everything that I would LOVE for them to.. But they aren't making games for you. Or for me. But for a VERY large, and diverse crowd. With ALOT of different preferences in game play, feel, artwork, direction, etc.

But seriously, back off. There is no reason to call people who DO enjoy their products names, and make fun of them. They obviously don't agree with you, and in a broad view of things, neither do I.

So go find a hobby, and stop trolling about something you don't like...


..Your only giving them free publicity. And making them famous.
 
I like the "You haven't seen a monk like this before". This might be true if you're a pathetic follower of crap games from blizzard and never played anything else. Their "original monk concept" has been done many times in the past. Sorry not original at all.

Monks in EQ2 had teleporting attacks and could chose to use staffs, hand-2-hand, whatever. In Vanguard:SOH, monks have teleporting attacks as well, on top of some other very neat utilities (Like being able to jump much further then any other class, and to shield themselves from damage, and to dodge all attacks for a short time). Not to mention that the staff, martial sword, and hand-2-hand fighting animations for monks in VG:SOH looks awesome, stuff right out of kung fu movies.

Oh and lets not get started on graphics quality. D3 looks like junk compared to many new RPGs out. Typical Blizzard trash. I guess it's a good strategy through, the one that worked for WoW so well. If you make a game with a simple engine and dated graphics then anyone with a POS Emachine can play the game, and anyone who is stupid will be able to play it without much confusion.

I'm sorry, but trying to convince me that D3 and SC2 are going to be good is going to be like trying to convince a person who just played Crysis on max settings that Super Mario World has the best graphics to date.

Ain't going to happen.

 
[citation][nom]pakardbell486dx2[/nom]Enough already. I am sick of this. I knew all long, just like Duke Nukem Forever, it will never come out. First Star Craft and its stupid 3 title release one after each year and then no Lan. Sorry, i am not sure if every one is with me on this, i WILL not buy anything from Blizzard or rather Activision ever again. 13 years is far to long[/citation]
I have 0 problem with the 3 title release. That means there will be 2 expansions, and a total of 90 campaigns. That's nuts. Instead of getting 10 Terran missions, we get 30! The multiplayer looks great, and the modding possibilities are going to be ENDLESS.

There better be a work around for LAN though. The lack of LAN in a LAN party STAPLE is just stupid. I play SC over LAN from time to time even today...

Each time I see that 11 Millions people argument. How fucking stupid you got to be to bring that as an argument is beyond me. People living with HIV/AIDS in 2007 33.0 million 30.3-36.1 million, doesn't make it a reason to get HIV. Just accept the fact there's still people out there with a brain which aren't infected by the diseases Blizzard is spreading.

How is that being a fanboy? Like... in any way?

Why does everyone bitch about everything? It's true. It doesn't effect you in any way. Don't like it? Don't buy it.

Complaining about a game that you don't like or own is about as smart about complaining about how they make XXXL T-Shirts. You don't need to buy it, it won't suit you. There are other options out there, and yet you sit here and complain about it.

It's called freedom of speech dude. The reason one got to complain about something is the fact that he probably did care about this company and their games in the past, but is now unsastified. Criticism can be as constructive as praising, as long as it's fairly done.

This is also stupid. How is AIDs even remotely relevant to video games?

Are Americans purposely spending their money on AIDs for entertainment purposes?

I hardly see the point you're trying to make. Please stop posting here before you look like more of an idiot.

The question you bring here doesn't change the fact the argument is as stupid as my analogy can be. People spend money in many ways that hurt them directly or indirectly, but that's not the point. The point was just to show how this argument is stupid.

Alright. I can dig that.

But there were better ways to get your point across lol.

I know, I'm not an expert at arguing. Glad you see my point though.
 
It does not matter one thing that they are testing the ass of the game when we see the first trailer and demo in the beginning of 2009.
We want it NOW...when it comes out it will be too late and too little...
Go to hell blizzard
 
I watched the whole trailer and I can say without doubts
playing with the monk will be boring, its just plain hitting and you always deal dmg to a single target that teleport stuff is weak as hell and fugly!!!
Blizzard mix this character deserves charged atacks like the assassin in diablo 2.

People play with Hammerdins / Javazons / Sorceress because these characters can kill multiply enemies.

The monk Class just born dead, blizz I think all the fans will miss D3 and SC2

 
At least I know I can buy a Blizzard made game and not be disappointed by it. They release their stuff when its good and ready, as other publishers should as well.
 
Maybe if other publishers didn't rush their releases we'd have a decent game every time we bought one, rather than 9 disappointments for every 1 decent title that hits the market.
