| | I'd be surprised if that 'fix' arrived any time soon. Its not like the game does a quick online auth check and then everything is client side. All of your actions from hitting a monster to what it drops comes from the server. You don't need a cracked exe, you'd need an emulated server. Groups made some poor attempts to do this for WoW, and I'd guess this will turn out the same. Flag this | Edit this post |

| | I played the beta off and on for the last couple of months and if it taught me anything, it was to not even attempt to play this game for at least week after launch. The beta had intermittent connection issues even with its limited playerbase, so it was guaranteed to be an absolute clusterf*** at launch. I would have thought running WoW for this long would have prepared them for this. Flag this | Edit this post |

| It's not said explicitly, but from the last guy's comments this video is aimed at current beta testers. The portion of the game we have access to is outrageously easy. There's really nothing in there that's even remotely threatening. You can make a glass cannon style wizard and just tank/melee the beta boss down without even reaching for a health potion.
With that as context, its reassuring to hear they haven't forgotten how Diablo is supposed to play. Flag this | Edit this post |

| The indie games on xbox live are buried. There's a ton of them, and they're overwhelmingly crap. If you've made something really good and not doing your own advertising, I can't imagine anyone will ever find it on their own. Zeboyd's games are like 2 of the 4 xbl indie games I've actually heard of.
Still, it seems like it's the only accessible path for aspiring console developers. Flag this | Edit this post |

| | I guess this is nice because its so simple, but for not much more money you can get a router to run in wireless bridge mode and provide internet to 4 devices. This is handy if you have a concentration of internet enabled stuff in your living room that doesn't have wireless (xbox, bluray, tv). Flag this | Edit this post |

| | I like the idea at least. They're using the anticipation for their AAA title to help out the little guys. If it works out, little guys make some cash and everyone gets Portal 2 early. If it doesn't, the little guys still get a bump and we get portal as scheduled. Win win. Flag this | Edit this post |

| Oddly enough, I like this game more than the first one, even though signs of its being rushed are everywhere. I can't wait to start a second character in this game, while in the first I would always get my 2nd/3rd/4th character to the fade or the deep roads and stop playing because the combat sections were too long and not fun. The combat in the sequel is more enjoyable.
On the other hand, the blatantly reused environments are inexcusable, and whoever thought spawning new waves of enemies in random locations (coming from places you've cleared, or spawning on top of you) should be fired. Flag this | Edit this post |

| The new skill system doesn't seem obviously dumbed down to me and I think it works just as well as the first game's.
The limitations on how you can equip your party though, that seems like a pointless change to me so far. When you play as a warrior and find a great piece of mage armor, you can't give it to anyone else so its essentially trash. Flag this | Edit this post |

| | I have a solid 10 hours into the PC version, and it's very clear that I've barely gotten anywhere. So far I'm liking the faster combat and the improved conversation system, and I feel like there's much more depth with how you interact with your party members. Still, I've been playing a while and my hero still has no obvious purpose besides making a name for himself. It's sorta Grand Theft Auto in that way. Flag this | Edit this post |
