Suck it.

All game companies at some point in 2006 or 2007 began looking back at everything that was ever moderately successful in the previous 20 or so years and began rounding the edges off and remaking it, and yeah if you take a violent, hard game and you make it a violent, easy game and update the textures and animations to sell it to 10-35 year old men, and very quickly women, you will make a lot of money

Blizzard hasn't had an original idea for a game in 20+ years.

lol if you buy a game because it was made by Blizzard.

GWS and blizzard are profiteering shitheads literally making piles of money on basically a divergence and reiteration the same two loving IPs and i will never amount to a significant fraction of its value nor will i contribute to anything close to it in my lifetime.

please ignore the dumpster fire that reads 'starcraft 2'

starcraft 2 is fun, lovely storyline aside. Legacy of the void fixed some of the problems i had with multiplayer design. Not perfect but quite good

I liked the first sc2.The storyline yeah but I had decent fun playing multiplayer up to gold 1v1 plat 2v2, so terrible, I think but I could not come around to buying the zerg thing and i didn't even know legacy of the void was out.

I've never played heathstone but I object to it on principle. It's a digital CCG and the monsters don't come out of the cards and attack each other. The whole. Entire. Point. Of having a digital CCG would be so the monsters could come alive and fight. If you're just going to make a regular card game then you might as well buy real cards.

Hearthstone is not a game it is a farce.

wasn't that the case in D2 though? Look, I did not play these games like a lot of people did and I used editors on open bnet to murder baal more times just for fun than actually loot collecting so i dont sympathize, but without actively cheating like i did, or gaming imperfect systems to get loot, you did not run into REALLY GOOD LOOT very often, and if you were playing with other people well good luck clicking first

its forgivable when the developer isn't getting a cut of the cash item trading. taking a cut of item sales creates perverse incentives to develop a bad game

So, I never bought the D3 expansion pack or used the RL Cash shop and I logged about uh 30 or 40 hours + some time in the beta which i admit had some better gameplay systems that were replaced with cheapo poo poo by the time the final builds came out, and I can't say I had a really bad time because you don't play 40 hours having a bad time, but what exactly went down with the cash shop that makes every grognard who used it really mad at D3 and caused it to get removed? I had stopped playing, by the time that happened.

it probably does seem like a nerd rant but you just need to really be old i guess, and remember this:

diablo II had every single motherfucker with a computer at my school playing together, and if you played for 3 years you got to level 96 of 99 or whatever the cap was

i never got past like level 72

i bought the new, more expensive sequel they spent 10 loving years making and as a still bad, still stupid, still casual gamer, i hit the level cap of 60? in like three weeks

literally the only thing left to do is grind or pay real money for gear, over and over until you die, no cow level no PVP, no joy of seeing the EXP bar go up like when we were kids, they sold us 1/10th of the old game for more money
