I lol'd at the last one.

blizzdrones are very defensive right now, the guy wasn't even saying the game is bad. He was only pointing a fact

>>139685524
Nuh uh, it's not a fact because you have to beat a game 10 times in a row with one hand on maximum difficulty to REALLY beat a game.

Why don't you go back to elementary school, kid?

every official forum of a hyped game becomes this stupid when the game is released.

You should avoid it OP is like reading youtube comments for more than 5 minutes, no good for your mental health.

>>139685092
Superdave is right.
You also gotta beat it on Easy to be Hardcore.

They seem more reasonable than most of /v/.

well the one guy is right

if you beat it in 6 hours, you probably skimmed most of it

>>139685092
Good lord. diablo 3's internal testers must be terrible. these guys hitting the ending in 6 hours is actually considerably slower than other groups, some of which have managed to reach inferno even with the server problems. Hell he even says one of their players couldn't log in for hours.

How the fuck can a company like blizzard be so shit at vidya?

>>139686643
not really, because most of the story is voice overs that you're going to run into regardless. it's pretty much designed around "rushers", so I don't understand why people think you'd miss out on the story if you steamrolled. I guess you guys don't play with sound turned on?

Video games are just getting shorter and shorter. This isn't news, but it is disappointing. If this becomes the norm along with this shitty online singleplayer drm it'll pretty much be the end of video games for me.

Unless they get much, much cheaper.

>>139686657

just look at what became of WoW

up until recently, their numbers were ever increasing while the quality ever decreased

>>139686657
Activision happened and most people that made the good old games left the company. People forget that it's not the company that makes the game, it's the people. And people move around, quit their job, get fired, get hired, etc.

>>139686657
They probably didn't test 4-man speedruns. The game speeds up considerably with other players.

>>139686643

>blizzdrones assemble!

While I kinda' get what they mean, that for most people Diablo isn't just about getting from A to B and then never playing it again, it's still pretty weak.
The game is short. And they somehow act all fucking insulted when someone points that out.

>>139686976
That's what I don't understand. If you're going to make a game while not really giving a shit about a lengthy campaign, why get assenraged by comments about how short it is?

Makes about as much sense as how angry they were at people who said the game was cartoony. They chose to make the damn thing cartoony and then get bitter when people point it out.

Yeah, it's pretty fucking dumb.
If he'd claimed the game was garbage or said that there never was any reason for him to play it again, then they could bitch about it.
He's simply stating the fact that he beat the game in 6 hours, and they freak out.

>>139685092
>you have to play the same content over again 3 more times
I swear this is sarcasm

Everything they said is true though.

Just because you poorfags are so mad right now doesn't mean there aren't millions of people enjoying the game right now. Millions of people who will be playing well past 60 hours because it's fucking Diablo, you don't just run through once.

>>139686976
It's a Diablo game. Making it longer just means adding extra procedurally generated levels to each of the dungeons.

While I do feel like the dungeons should have been a little longer, it's not like making the game longer increases the quality in a huge way.

>>139686767
im talking about skipping events, not exploring every cellar, running past enemies, and probably skipping dialogue that stops the game from progressing forward

>>139687342
Nope, you should've seen that other thread where OP was asking for a refund because servers were shit, while saying that he hoped people who had more patience would have a good time playing D3.

Hundreds of posts about how OP was an entitled troll.

>>139687207
Probably because they know the game has flaws and get incredibly defensive if anyone points any out - in this case it's even debatable if it's a flaw, but they still react like someone is hating their precious game.
I've never understood fans like that.

>>139687307
We don't really know the context of the post, the previous one had been deleted.

it's actually shorter than diablo 2 in story content. they could've "made it longer" by having more/deliberate quests instead of a bunch of beelines to dungeon bosses.

Dear god, the stupidity.

I hope he's complaining about the general quality of the BNet forums, not that everyone is rightfully angry that they couldn't play a game they paid for for nearly 14 hours at best.

But he isn't claiming that the game is rubbish.
He'd said that he beat the game in 6 hours, someone doesn't believe it, and he provides proof.
The only thing he's saying is that he beat it in 6 hours!
Maybe those were the best 6 hours of his life, who knows? But people still took it as an attack on D3.

There's a speed run of Diablo 2: LoD that's under a hour on youtube, so I guess D2 is even worse.

My coleslaw.

I was going to post a thread on this, but since Im on my phone it won't let me, but how come we aren't talking about Blizz's attack on The Pirate Bay? My father in law is a programmer and he and a couple of his friends noticed that everyone who has SC2 and D3 installed basically has a client that DDos's the Pirate bay website. Go there now, it's still down. And I think it's working it's way into the news as I write this. I think this surpasses any evil that EA or Capcom has done so far.

tl;dr Blizzard is using your game client to attack and shut down The Pirate Bay.

>>139687935
You can't argue that the business model isn't

You beat CoD in 6 hours? On Normal? Go do it again, on all difficulty settings, and using every single different gun. Then you've truly experienced CoD.

All official forums for all games are like this.

Shouting HEY LOOK AT YOU YOU HAVE DOWNS SYNDROME when you see downs people means jack shit really, pointing it out doesn't change the fact they always had it and always will.

>>139687827
Pretty sure people were speedrunning D2 within months. Difference is people had access to D3 beta so they know where everything is, what to do, etc. by launch.

Meh, Skyrim, Oblivion and Morrowind to name a few, all easily beatable in a very short time by following the mainquest and skipping conversations.

bullshit

At one time i thought all the good people who made Diablo had left. But they retained some people from Blizzard North, and the people who left have made terrible games ever since(except mabe torchlight). Remember that "blizzard north" wanted to make a turn based RPG with claymation graphics before the big wigs at blizzard had their way. Blizzard is the reason we fucking have diablo, they where heavily involved in the creation process of both games.

Diablo 3 has...no content.

>>139688240
>Blizzard is the reason we fucking have diablo, they where heavily involved in the creation process of both games.

No shit, they were made by Blizzard North, which doesn't exist anymore. Blizzard now has nothing to do with the Blizzard that made Diablo 1 and 2.

>>139687704
That's not why you overturn every stone... you overturn every stone because there might be loot under them.

>>139688069
Yeah, but at least with Morrowind you need some knowledge about the world and the rules of the game. Nobody could do that a few hours after it was released.

Anyway, those games are for creating your own adventure. The main quest is always short, but in those games it's not about the goal but the journey.
You have a ton of other quests available, stuff to explore, characters to meet and skills to grind.
You can't fairly compare two different genres like that.

>>139688454

I'm talking about the "core blizzard team", not "blizzard north" or former condor studios. The core blizzard team was involved with diablo and diablo 2 quite a bit. They're the fucking reason diablo is diablo. Condor would have made a turn based claymation RPG without blizzard

>>139688431
>they were not even rushing
You're not that stupid right? Right?

Yeah, I'm sure they read everything, explored, tested out combinations of skills and runes, all that stuff you generally do in an RPG.

Sure /v's behaviour over the game is over the top and generally silly. But at the heart of this is the fact that the game isn't that good, isn't that big, and the brutal DRM is a proper slap in the face to their paying customers.

No, blizzard had hardly anything to do with the original diablo games. The only thing was Metzen co-writing, though nowadays he claims his old writing was shit and that his new hollywood action style is more to his liking, which means he was probably shitting everything up and being held back by other writers.

They still had decent staff up to WoW. Afterwards they may as well be a completely different company.
