I'm actually going to defend Predisher here. Wow, Quiztis, you were a real dick in this entire thread.
I'm going to have to agree with Pred here on the grounds that I played Diablo 1 and 2 and they were fine. Got tedious, but otherwise fine. Diablo 3, on the other hand, I hear is garbage that you couldn't play offline on launch day because of some Sim City level "DRM" that ended up locking out paying customers. (which is why you should torrent EAs titles since you can easily get screwed by them).
I played Starcraft a long time ago and ended up ducking around and placing mushrooms everywhere, but I'm sure it's a decent enough game. If I played it legitimately, it can't be that bad. Starcraft 2, maybe it's the same. But I'm not going to play online with some ultra competitive Korean players who do it all day. I'll get wrecked. No fun.
I don't think it's just "WAAAH, OLD GAMES WERE BETTER!", I think it's just a case of...well, maybe Blizzard does suck these days. I mean, this is the company that still charges up the ass for World of Warcraft and has expansion packs coming out every nanosecond. And I didn't hear anything good about Mists of Panderia. Haha, Panderia. Pandas. What genius. They must truly be out of ideas. I'd play this game if I didn't have to sacrifice all the money I ever obtain to the all mighty lords at Blizzard. Yes, World of Warcraft is considered to be the original/best/ultimate/whatever MMO and every MMO after copies it, but holy damn. It's overpriced. Subscriptions to a game can duck off. And so can the FTP model.
Someone tell me if Guild Wars is worth it, because that game is a "You bought the game. Here's all the content" sort of thing. Or is it true what they say about it becoming pay to win with a shitty item mall where you can spend 80 dollars for an hour of double experience?
And Quiztis, what the hell is this "be an accepting gamer" crap you've got? You want us all to look over at EA or Activision and say "Oh, those silly corrupted game developers. Hahah, they made 34 Call of Duties and 44 Madden games this year. Hah, look at all those expansions to drain more money. Heheh, oops. Looks like some crazy customer got ripped off over there. He was promised a fun game, but what he got was a registration key that doesn't work. Oh, well. It's all well and good. Let them get ripped off how they want." - How about no. Let's speak up against whatever shitty company we want.
In Conclusion
