Let's get back on track and not derail this any further. I stated my 'legitimate' and constructive criticism about the story earlier (it was also flagged as popular) so there's no need to repeat that. The only thing stopping me from returning now is the lack of an offline mode.

It's not like nobody will play it on Battlenet just because we can play it offline. Just look at the success of Diablo 2. You know what killed Diablo 3 for a lot of players (besides a terrible story)? The problems coming from having to be online. Everybody remembers the catastrophic launch and we still hate server maintenance.

I tried to come back a couple of times due to all these positive changes, because I stopped playing a long time ago. Guess what happened on the random occasions that I wanted to play again? Server maintenance. No way too play. Probably dumb luck but I uninstalled the game all the same. I have no need for trading, playing with others or socializing within in this game. I'll do that when I play it at a LAN with my friends. Sometimes I just want to play on my own but I can only play when you allow me to play. That's not right. What wrong with a offline character? What's wrong with people having fun offline? Who cares about mods and stuff? The online component is still secure right? I will only be coming back for ROS if they add an offline option and trust me, I'll play it online too.

My colleague forwarded an e-mail that went around the office today. Translated + picture:

If I remember correctly it was against hacks/cheats/goldfarmers/etc. One of the reasons why they came up with the auction house as well.

Most people are very happy with this news but I'm just wondering: How will you trade when the auction house is gone? How are you going to find the items you are looking for?

If the auction house is shut down there's really no reason to keep it online only.

So for those who played it, i'm really interested to hear about the shooting. Is it true the shooting is more like Max Payne 3, only better?

Yes, it's true. Better is arguable but it's by far the best system ever in a GTA game.

Never ever preorder stuff online and have it delivered. Trust me, I learned it the hard way. Always preorder a copy at a local gameshop. Saves you troubles like this. Good luck to you all.

Oh...this game is just, massive. It's 3 GTA's in one. I'm loving it. Nothing is used as filler. There are details everywhere. An example (not really a spoiler but just to be sure):

I'm out in the desert, middle of fucking nowhere. I spot a trailer, it's shaking back and forth. It soon becomes pretty obvious people are having sex. I smile, all of a sudden it stops. They've heard me. Guess what? Two guys come out all upset about finding out about there special time.

The writing is superb. Great satire too. All flaws of the previous entries are fixed. Better shooting mechanics and no more driving to a mission after you failed it. It's just......perfect. Can't wait to go online in October.

Oh nice, you got the Gamecube addition.

If you change contrast you'll see I've got the NES/SNES/WII/Megedrive/PS and Xbox 360 edition as well

Sorry to hear that Blackdog. My condoleances. I can imagine that causes you too looks at it in a different perspective. Hated the review though. It's a game FFS.

Just woke up from a long night. This is for all you all that can't play:

Me, I'll start playing again right now. Shower/breakfast/getting dressed is for pussies.

Yeah, do tell!

It's 5 hours of waiting before I can pick it up at the midnight launch. I made sure I have the graveyard shift tomorrow and Wednesday which means I can game...uh... work from home. Also, the wife has 2 morning shifts so I've got the house to myself until 5. The gaming is going to be good!

Don't pay attention to the misaligned textures, the BSP compiler did weird shit.

Same comments as on Func. But I was wondering what editor are you using? Trenchbroom?

I'm waiting for this:

I just finished Company of Heroes 2. I heard about pissed of Russians downvoting the game on metacritic due the game's portrayal of them. They go way too far in this because there's a lot of truth in the story and they need to accept that. However, I can understand where the offensive is coming from. The game's primary focus seems to show how horrible the Russians were. It gets old pretty fast and they could have toned it down a bit. The Germans look like choir boys in comparison to that.

The game itself was very enjoyable. Just more of the same really and the original was already great, so no complaints. The only thing that bothered me was the "always fire" attitude of your own army. Never in a game did I loose so many troops to friendly fire. Oh, your fighting close combat with your veteran squads against a outnumbered enemy. Fuck you! You've just stepped in range of my mortar fire, bye bye now!

It looks like Reaper of Souls will be adding a ladder system like the one in Diablo 2. There's also talk about an Adventure mode which let's you play the game without the story or quests. The story mode itself will have 103 quests added divided over all acts and should make it better. This and a shitload of other changes. Nothing is set in stone but it's a reliable source. Will Diablo finally become the game it should have been at launch?

Quote from D3ads

Agreed with most of the opinions here, great visuals, awesome technological details and effects but the storyline was lacking and the ending was just... impossible;

Sharlto Copley was awesome...

It's not.

It's about being safe from robots (everyone is a citizen now) and getting care (thus the dropships).

Was everybody so in awe of the effects that they weren't paying attention? What's wrong with you people?

Praise Warby! I've been thinking about this movie for a long time and didn't remember what is was called nor did I find it on my own. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
