Haha really? One day?
Fair enough. Was that because of the login issues, or you just didn't like the game?
In a nutshell, Blizzard thought it would be a good idea make an online connection mandatory for play, even in single player. And surprise surprise, it back fired and pissed A LOT of people off. It's proof once again, that the only people not badly affected by DRM are pirates. The actual customers are getting screwed over, again.
I don't even have the game, probably getting Torchlight 2 instead but it's just dumb.
Pissed people off? I can't really think of a legitimate reason. I see no problem with it because I don't plan on illegally downloading my games, boting to get an advantage or finding a loop hole in the system and exploiting the game. I also don't mind if blizard want to keep an eye on my stats and how I play, where I die, what I'm doing with their game since it will in the end give them more stuff as to make a better game.
What they have done by keeping it online is fine.
Also if people are going to complain about not being able to connect for a few hours on day 1 release of a game that's been in development for 7 years; has one of the most hardcore fanbases of the genre and is a hugely anticipated release then they can get the fudge out to be quite frank.
Who DOESN'T have internet connection who can play a game like D3? If you're playing on a laptop on a bus where you don't have access to internet connection then to be honest you need to get a life
As per; people sending flak to a game that's hugely popular, well crafted and super hyped. For what it is, the games brilliant and I'm happy with my purchase. Been playing 4 player with some mates on release day and it was fantastic.
The only problem I have with it is we waited so damned long for it but that's not a valid reason to call it a bad game.
I plan on getting torchlight 2 as well, played the first one, it was alright. Very repetitive and the art style is a little garish but the second one looks to redeem it but ill make my judgement when I play the game.
Also in answer to that halo comment; halo is for kids. Take that troll.
