battlenet and blizzard.com slightly sluggish to react, but I can click around in there and still get some action.
I'm going to wait on this one til the patches start coming.
When's the next SC2 coming, anyway? Next summer?

We’ll be back soon!
The Blizzard family of websites is temporarily unavailable. Thank you for your patience!

ha, blizzard feared their servers would go down with the rush of people trying to get in. they were supposed to have a 45 second waiting time or smth like that to lighten the load on servers, but i guess that wasn't enough.

yeah, the plot/characters are the dumbest thing by far. it's kind of charming how they didn't try to make the voice acting any better
― Nhex, Monday, May 14, 2012 6:07 PM (Yesterday) Bookmark
hah I actually thought the voice acting in D2 was pretty good, the voice acting in the D3 commercials/trailers was pretty cringe inducing tho

I agreed with a lot of this - IMO it's the same issue playing difficult NES and SNES games on an emulator, where you know you can just create a ton of save states and 'cheat' the game, which in turn makes the whole idea of playing it a lot less fun - you don't really feel like you 'beat' anything.

that article was a rollercoaster ride of TRUTH BOMB / WTF? for me. it did make me want to play his new game when it comes out tho.
― Roberto Spiralli, Tuesday, 15 May 2012 14:05 (eleven years ago) link
it made me wanna play diablo3 AND his game. The suggestion that a "number accumulator" isn't a game is ridiculous; I will buy D3 as farmville for hacknslash nerds though and own that. I love that he put up a number accumulator and his readers promptly played it to killscreen

I think that man fundamentally misunderstands the purpose of a video game (in re dinofarms)

There really isn't any sense in which that's beaten, though.

eh, he got through the normal playthru in under 13 hours.at the very least it's devotion.

I got a guest pass from a friend, so I'm installing as I type. It sounds like the servers are back up too, which means I might get a shot to play it as well.

Sadly, this seems too spot on (not surprised as it's by Tom Chick):

So, I got a few hours this afternoon with it and... I paid for the full game. Total blast with other people.
― EZ Snappin, Thursday, 17 May 2012 01:19 (eleven years ago) link
well, i just tried to play and got fifteen minutes into the start (which is the same damn thing as the demo, so gonna have to grind through act 1 again) aaaaaaand servers are now down.wtf
― (Name Withheld to Avoid Hassle) (forksclovetofu), Thursday, 17 May 2012 01:41 (eleven years ago) link
I'm sorry forks. Send me your tag in an email and, assuming the servers ever work, I'll join you for some clicking. That's assuming you're not crazy power gamer because I kinda suck so I take my time.
― EZ Snappin, Thursday, 17 May 2012 01:47 (eleven years ago) link
that would be neat, didn't even know that was a thing yet!i'm forkster btw

do you have some goofy # after your name? I'm EZSnappin#1388
― EZ Snappin, Thursday, 17 May 2012 01:55 (eleven years ago) link
I played with two friends this afternoon and it was such a blast. Even though there is no voice chat, just having a complimentary player can make it fun.
― EZ Snappin, Thursday, 17 May 2012 01:56 (eleven years ago) link
So, um, guys? If you have an authenticator, MAKE GODDAMN SURE you wrote down the restore code somewhere, because if you uninstall it from your phone after, say, realizing that you are terrible at Starcraft 2 and you've wrung all the enjoyment you possibly can out of its single-player campaign, you are now boned.
I'm trying to get Blizzard to reset it- including scanning a government-issued photo ID to prove I'm really me- and after two days, still nothing.

That's serious bullshit. Totally uncool.

no goofy bullshit. still can't get on though.
― (Name Withheld to Avoid Hassle) (forksclovetofu), Thursday, 17 May 2012 02:12 (eleven years ago) link
can you guys not play the single-player either? i mean obv the multiplayer is the point but did blizzard really release a game that can't get online after making their paranoid money-frantic decision to require games to go online?
― good men like my father, or president truman (difficult listening hour), Thursday, 17 May 2012 02:16 (eleven years ago) link
can't play a thing unless you're logged in. Absolute bollocks.

yeah that sucks
― good men like my father, or president truman (difficult listening hour), Thursday, 17 May 2012 02:17 (eleven years ago) link
this sounds like one of those forced activation DRM nightmare scenarios finally happened. you can't even play single player? that is bullshit

what characters are you playing ? i'm still very sad that there are no paladin/amazon in d3
― Jibe, Thursday, 17 May 2012 04:45 (eleven years ago) link
I tried a Barbarian at first because I was super rusty (I hadn't even used a mouse for a few years since I got a trackpad), and now I''m trying the monk. I like the monk more, I have to say.
― EZ Snappin, Thursday, 17 May 2012 04:49 (eleven years ago) link
monk is the thing to do for me
― (Name Withheld to Avoid Hassle) (forksclovetofu), Thursday, 17 May 2012 05:00 (eleven years ago) link
we were double monking the shit out of stuff
― EZ Snappin, Thursday, 17 May 2012 05:01 (eleven years ago) link
shit was straight monk no chaser
― (Name Withheld to Avoid Hassle) (forksclovetofu), Thursday, 17 May 2012 05:04 (eleven years ago) link
ok so monk sounds like a fun char. still havent bought this because no free time at all to play it, but soon i'll get to it. and then go mad because my internet connection sucks and i die all the time due to lags (at least that's what happened a few times during the open beta)

I will look up my tag thingy when I get home. I think I'm almost to the point of dealing w/the King Leoric situation -- just got the crown back.
