-or-

they're releasing the expansion for starcraft 2 this summer and therefore cannot release diablo 3 until next winter

Don't you put that evil on me Ricky Bobby!

For real though I wouldn't mind HotS, but I want Diablo 3 first god damn it. After having played Beta this is easily game of the year (and for me many years to come).

 

[Liverslapper]

Paid off ME3. That was money I really didnt have to spend but fuck it. Im four hours early for the launch. *taps foot*

Oh and im staying away from this thread until i beat the game....same as the IRC channel.

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

Yeah, same here.

 

[Det Som Engang Var]

I got my HD. But not a 360. Hope to play Me3 soon.

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

Holy shit, only a few hours in and I think this has a REALLY good chance of being WAY better than the first two games.

 

[Pitiless Wanderer]

well it'll be better than ME1 that's for sure. that was a disgrace of a game.

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

You are a terrible person. Just terrible.

 

[Talking Backwards]

You are a terrible person. Just terrible.

Heh. He's kind of right. By itself I don't agree, especially since it was the newest in the franchise, but after so many playthroughs of ME2, the first game is downright archaic in design.

I'm about fifteen hours into the third game (no spoilers), and so far I'm greatly enjoying it, but I'm not sure it's going to actually be better than the second game overall. I won't ruin why, only to say that the supposed gravitas the game was said to have all feels entirely forced and fakey (you should see why...), orchestrated only with the intent to manipulate, but they went overboard. It also doesn't feel anywhere near as personal as the second did, with carrying over events from the first.

The aesthetics are definitely much better, biotics did an almost 180 from the second game, but I still hate his walking speed. Even with the dodging mechanics, Shepard still moves too slow in this. So far I think I'm liking the inside jokes the most as far as the script goes.

 

[Det Som Engang Var]

Just a little longer and I can play it....

Can anyone tell me how badly I'll be punished for cheating on Liara? Is Miranda even in this one? Should probably answer that with a spoiler shield.

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

Pretty much everyone who had any involvement in the first two games and survived makes some sort of appearance, i've gathered.

This makes me really sad. It was tied with Shenmue and Morrowind as my favorite game ever. If TOR's community is anything like WOW's, it's a plague. But this game had some genuinly kind, caring people who just wanted to have fun.

I never even had a max level character, I would make alt after alt after alt.

But I'll remember two in particular. Dromer, the Dwarf Warrior, and Nerever, the Dark Elf Shadowknight. My first guild, Clan of The Divine Wind. There were only 5 of us, two older couples and myself. I'd try to recruit more, but they always abandonded said characters. It was still the best damn guild ever.

As excited as I am to play Mass Effect 3 you know I have to shit on Bioware at least once per page.

 

[ShadowsWithin]

I just like the fact that Everquest 1 is still around on PC and hasn't gone FTP.

 

[Lord Foul]

In fact it just went F2P

 

[Det Som Engang Var]

PC players definitely need to watch this. Not only to see how Bioware lie to you, but also so you can get the DLC for free.

[Captain Beard]

I've no interest in reinstalling ME3 at this point.

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

It really is a shame that the mediocre final 15 minutes overshadows 30+ hours of near perfect gameplay.

 

[Night Reaper]

this is why people love bacon

[Det Som Engang Var]

I haven't got play it yet, but I know about the endings.

Rumor is that it's all a hallucination and the real ending will be DLC. I think it's pretty obvious Bioware would pull some shit like this.
