How would hacks effect you if you played offline though?
And who the heck is this phantom disagree-er going around adding disagrees like someone punched him in his only good nut?
You used your one bubble well, my friend.

Interesting...but aren't some authenticators free?
GFWL
Enough said.
Steam already has this feature and it's not met with aggressive resistance.

Exactly man.
GFWL literally does not work. I mean, wtf are PC gamers supposed to do with a game you pay for that literally just does not work? I don't get it. It's a load of BS.
LOL this article reminds me of why video game journalism fails.
If a game is going to be short (like Limbo, Uncharted, etc.,) it should be highly replayable.
A lot of these so-called AAA blockbusters aren't replayable.
Gotta love how everyone glosses over the fact that always-on DRM WILL become an industry standard if enough people don't put it in check.
Seems like most gaming sites are saying "Yeah it sucks...oh well, need some guides beating this boss? Here lap it up and click some links!"
Actually Far Cry 2 was GTA-open. It was huge.
The problem is that they didn't do much with it.
I really liked Far Cry 2 but they needed it where players could join factions so you weren't re-killing the same people over and over again.
They also should have tossed in co-op because when you were in a car there was nothing you could do to defend yourself, which was ignorant.
If the Ubisoft had advanced on what was est...
Call me crazy but I liked Sam Lake's face for Max Payne, it was so freaking unconventional and unique to the character. I wasn't very fond of the "generic handsome white guy" look they went with for the second game.
Why do they assume that when a game gets popular with a white protagonist he has to be "generically handsome"? (well, except for GTA games)

Eh, I copied the wrong part of the link, check out this part of the article further up:
"Shut up. Seriously, stop whining."
Hmm, very sound advice. I'll remember that the next time I buy a car that doesn't have a working engine or a house with faulty plumbing. I'll just say "Me...shut up, seriously, stop whining".
Uh yeah, VG 24/7 did tell people to "shut up"

Yeah when did a pseudo-porn site become a gaming website???
Great piece.
I thought it was pretty stupid how reviews (positive reviews) are already sprouting up for a game that's barely a week old and they're the typical fanboy glowing reviews.
I'm sorry but even after it took me forever to conquer GTA IV it took me several days to process it: what I liked and what I didn't and that in the end, it truly was an amazing experience, but not without its faults.
The sad reality is that fo...
That's a good point.
Just recently Orion Dino Beatdown didn't work "out of the box" and look how the reviewers treat that game? It's actually a fun title that was made on a $50,000 budget. Diablo III comes from a company with $4 billion in capital...I don't even think we need to draw comparisons on the kind of quality we should expect from one or the other.
So long as the issues aren't ignored and that loooooong report piece doesn't magically turn into a 9/10 or a 10/10 because it's Diablo III, maybe this review will be okay.
I wonder if IGN will toss up an "entitlement" article just for good measure over the weekend?
LOL @ admiralthrawn87
That seems to be the common response for most people oblivious to the real issue.
The real issue is that this will never go away, lag will never stop, disconnects will never cease...it'll happen, maybe less frequently than at launch but it will happen.
And even people with 200ms or lower will still get hit with spikes. No one will ever be able to simply play Diablo 3 like you could play any other single-player game...
