The moment they announced Diablo 3 will use that DRM (was it last year or the year before?), it killed my desire about the whole franchise altogether.
Same with last year's announcement that STALKER 2 will use a similar online DRM. Call me heartless but I laughed when the studio went under several months after the announcement.
For once I'm truly excited for a Star Wars game. And love the way how fast and punchy the blaster beams look in this game. I guess Lucas Art took notes from the Star Trek reboot about how beam weapons should feel. Did the protagonist use some sort of Jedi push power to send stuff fly around?
I love the part when he revealed that it's a real time demo running on a high end PC with nvidia hardware. Let's hope they don't use that it as an excuse to delay the PC v...
I stopped caring for Microsoft gaming side ever since they ignored PC gaming ever since the X Box came out. I only gave attention to MS's E3 conferences hoping they would change their mind but so far I've been consistently disappointed every year.
Now, even IE is being integrated into X Box so I guess that's that then.
I've just returned from a week of gaming from a friend's house (in his hometown which he's visiting for a holiday) and I see this article.
And we had a blast along with his cousin playing the Diablo clone, Nox, over LAN. Now we've return our own cities we can still play the same game solo (his workplace doesn't have good internet connection). And in a couple month's time we'll meet again for another round of Nox....
Wait, Torchlig...
I regularly visited a particular tech review site besides the usual gaming site. There was a 300+ pages long forum topic discussing about always online DRM.Most of the posters on the thread are full of rage and disgust about that DRM.That was a year ago.
Now I see most of the moderators are playing Diablo 3 and have high praises for the game. One even put up the an article boasting D3's 6 million sales record.
Yes: the same moderator that started the &quo...
First : WOW!
Second : He's cheating.
Like the article/infographic said "moderation is key."
While my friends were all crazy with Diablo, I discovered Nox. That was panned as a shameless Diablo clone but I had tremendous fun with it.
Same with Torchlight. I initially dismissed it a cheap game but when I tried it, it seemed to suck the soul out me.
I've seen the offer. Not really interested with LA Noire though so I'll pass. I've been on spending spree for the last couple of weeks (first time using Paypal and buying games online) and now I have a backlog of games. Adding another one (or three if you count the free Max Payne 1 and 2 pre order bonus offered last week) would certainly stretch my time between games even more. I don't even remember some of the games that I've bought.
It was a hard couple...
Still wondering whether to order the download version or the disc version. I have a lot of hard disc space but downloading 35gb of game files does seem daunting for me.
I'm wondering whether whether part of the 6 millions who bought Diablo 3 are actually gamers or just future gold farmers adding another side income with the online auction.
Should we call it a game anymore because once the auction house is open we will see people going in and out of the same old campaign maps just to loot stuff and sell them. If the prospect is grinding through those maps in yielding potential hard cash is the reason for replaying D3 over and over again (...
Half a decade ago all you have to worry about your games was whether your PC will meet the system requirement.
With Diablo 3 you are worrying over pings,lag and disconnections for a singleplayer game.
"humans don’t see more than 24 hz”
and yet somehow we know that a game that runs at 60fps feels smoother than a 24fps game. Even without using FRAP to tell you what FPS that game is churning up, you can still sense/feel the difference.
I already downloaded the mod but too scared to commit. I've read the horror stories from the field. They were...horrifying to read.
No, I don't mean the zombies. It's the real, non-scripted, back-stabbing humans who scare me the most. Zombie just want your brains. Humans just want to screw you over just for a can of beans.
"...every 6 months..."
THIS AGAIN! Really? We really need somebody at N4G to clear this up. Give them some charts, pie grafts or hire those Mythbuster guys to do a special episode about this.
Anything to clear this up so console gamers stopped giving these 'facts' and PC gamers stop correcting them all the time - usually make them into some sort of elitist snobs in doing so (unless that was the real reason for some console gamers to delibera...
Console games were also supposed to be patch free due to higher quality control in development...well, that's what they said when comparing the PC to the PS3 and X Box 360 when those two first came out.
Now, console gamers acted as if they NEVER said patches is one of the main reasons for them to leave the PC for consoles.
Blizzard NEVER said this game is an MMO or MMO-like.
MMOs are either subscription based or free-to-play. Diablo 3 is none of that.In fact it's the exact opposite where players are the ones who get real money off that game.
Or that one rat stabbed in BF3.
I'm not sure which camp I should be supporting here.
Ubisoft did made a big deal about going back to basics with Far Cry 3. In Far Cry 1 and 2 you have the freedom to approach an objective anyway you want. In the footage you only have ONE.
Granted it's the opening sequence so it should be setting the mood for gamers. There's no way about it if you want to wow your audience in the first several minutes of the game - you need scripted events.
That's weird. They made a PC version of Ninja Blade in 2009...anyone remember that one? It was a pretty decent port on their part although I hated that you have to finish every level from start to finish thanks to the QTE heavy gameplay (no mid-game saves).
