| Bitmap, please stop going full potato and listen to reason for a moment. Diablo II was over a decade ago. In that time, they've had World of Warcraft, a game rife with hacking, yet it has taught them a lot on how to prevent hacking overall. Now Diablo III is out, and they are simply not using their experience beyond ripping the player off $6 for something that is the equivalent of showing a police officer your ID when pulled over on a highway. That's not acceptable, that's just moderate greed. Secondly, Diablo II had a Level 85 cap. Now, over a decade later, DIII stops at 60. This is either a sad sign of casual players' influence or the factor that they may use this tactic to release an expansion pack that lifts this, making themselves far more money for something that they could've done from the beginning. Also greed. Not only this, but in the time between the second and third games, they didn't use third-dimensional rendering. The usage of two-dimensional fields made sense during the heyday of D1 and DII, but now with how powerful modern computers all, they gave us the prerendered graphics instead of a top-down view of a real-time rendered area. This is just sad when you consider that this is a game that took over a decade. Finally, I'm just going to say this ahead of time just so you don't try to justify how bad it is- Always Online DRM is a horrible thing. With it, the end user cannot own the maps, which, if you haven't realized it, are pretty much needed full-time. Imagine when the servers are taken down one day. The game discs, along with all download files, would be as valuable as the old AOL trial disks until we get player-made maps a few years after we break away all the DRM lockouts, which might take a year or two. Please, please don't be a Hammer Legion Member. Listen to reason, man. ____________________ Cyber razor cut, sir? To be this good takes AGES. To be this good takes no pants. |
