Beware of trading scammers!

A subreddit for anything related to games (but not sports). "Related" means that posts must contain gaming-related content in the link/post body, not just a "forced" connection via the title or a caption added to the content.

"Generic" image macros/memes (where the character itself is not related to gaming) like Scumbag Steve, Good Guy Greg, etc. will be removed. Something that "reminds you of a game", or "looks like something from a game" is also not an appropriate submission.

[–]V2Blast[M] 0 points1 point ago

Correct.

[–]Kasonic 8 points9 points ago

So why log on at all and come here and complain about it with unrelated gifs?

[–]Smoochiekins 3 points4 points ago

Sssh, we're circlejerking, get out of here with your fancy logic and subreddit rules

[–]BWO_Bookworm 0 points1 point ago

I pretty much log on to see if I've sold anything, then I log right back off.

[–]thornsap 9 points10 points ago

am i the only one that actually enjoys playing diablo 3?

[–]HelplessZero 5 points6 points ago

NOPE! I do :) I have faith in blizzard to spice things up eventually, but as of now, I'm still working for the BIS gear for my DH/Barb. I love games that require a lot of grind time, and especially one that can grant you real life money in return. I'm a creature of habit, and can see myself playing this game regularly for years to come.

[–]Cyrus23 1 point2 points ago

According to the polls, as of lately you and a handful others may be the only ones left playing it. Not to say it won't get better but once you have a couple level 60's and can't afford anything good on the AH and won't use the RMAH you will understand it just becomes gear grinding on the worse drop system invented.

[–]Smoochiekins 2 points3 points ago

"The polls"? Which polls? I see more people in public games atm than I have since the game launched. But hey...

It might seem that way but here ya go...

[–]Smoochiekins 0 points1 point ago

I saw those. But those are Xfire numbers. Not exactly statistically sound.

[–]HelplessZero 1 point2 points ago

Understand that because you're having trouble affording stuff on the auction house, doesn't mean other people are. We get it, you and "everyone else" are sick of farming, but that is the essence of Diablo.

[–]Cyrus23 0 points1 point ago

Because of reasons like this....

You will continue to see a rise in gear cost, both gold and RM. Yes it will become saturated and taper off but why sacrifice so many players within your first month of release? Refer to my previous comment if you don't believe the decline. You can watch the tread yourself from here on out.

[–]ajbot 5 points6 points ago

Every day I'm more and more glad I didn't buy into the Diablo 3 hype. Always wait at least 30 days to get into an online game to see if the community will hold up

[–]Bedeone 1 point2 points ago

If everybody did that there would never be any online communities.

[–]theMatrish -4 points-3 points ago

I bought it, played for 2 hours and got a refund from Blizzard. I just think the real-money auction house breaks the game. Also, playing on normal mode is a joke.

[–]slipperyfist 2 points3 points ago

Really, tell me more about how the easiest difficulty out of four is too easy.

[–]theMatrish 0 points1 point ago

Why do they make me play on normal mode? Why do I have to play through the same game 4 times? It's not worth grinding through easy modes just to get to the harder modes.

It's just not worth it in my opinion- we don't have to be so sensitive about videogames. Some games aren't for everyone, this game isn't for me.

[–]slipperyfist 0 points1 point ago

That's just the way Diablo games, and most games of this type, are. You have to beat one difficulty to unlock the next. Ideally it should feel like the gear and abilities you get from one difficulty prepare you for the next, but I'll agree that that feeling is missing from D3.

Edit: I'm not trying to be overly sensitive, it's just that a lot of these complaints would be easily addressed by people knowing more about the series. Diablo 2 was all about beating the three different difficulties, leveling up, and trying to find good gear. While I do agree that Diablo 3 is more boring for a lot of small reasons, it's silly to expect it to be completely different from Diablo 2.

[–]Pinworm45 -1 points0 points ago

The first three until act 3 of Hell is a complete joke. I don't mind the game but it's fucking retarded that I'm forced to play through the first two difficulties after I already got to Inferno. Normal and Nightmare are unplayable easy. I can totally see someone playing it for 2 hours and being like "yeah this is terrible" because all you do in the first two or even three difficulties is see something move, mouse over it, and it's dead, with absolutely no threat to yourself. Lame.

[–]DizzyQ 1 point2 points ago

i know the feeling i log in get bored after my first rare pack and log out because im bored... then i do the same thing like 3 hours later

[–]Spazit 1 point2 points ago

I'm happy I got my stint of diablo-playing in before they started nerfing everything they could see. I may have had issues logging in, but at least my demon hunter felt powerful and fun.

[–]Whompa 1 point2 points ago

I don't get it...I don't play Diablo 3 anymore myself but I don't get why this is funny.

pretty much the case for every game that has no replayability... (insert X console game or PC game)

[–]laserplane 0 points1 point ago

eh I got my $60 worth (~150 hours) and now I'm done. If they want to ruin the game they can go right ahead, I'm not interested any more.

[–]smishNelson 0 points1 point ago

This is what i do whenever i play Old Republic or EVE Online

[–]zazey_baby 0 points1 point ago

I know the feeling. The grind just doesn't seem worth it. I had my fun for the first few weeks, but it's died for me.

[–]shawnpeps -1 points0 points ago

I haven't logged in in quite a while, has it gotten that bad? What did I miss?

[–]methinks2015 3 points4 points ago

I bought Diablo 3 a couple weeks after it came out, and am still playing it. I have no problem with the changes that were made over the time I've played, I still find the game entertaining.

That said, I'm a fairly poor monk in Act 2 Inferno, and apparently the changes have been much better for us than for better geared people.

[–]Shiftycent -3 points-2 points ago

You haven't missed anything. Torchlight 2 isn't out yet.

[–]Zpierce5 -2 points-1 points ago

Aaaand he's gone
