ANTHONY BURCH... !!!!!!!

WAH... !!!!!!!

Beat Diablo! Adventure mode is better, like the mission structure. I went straight for torment 1, still pretty easy. Did my first rift, I actually was in danger, I had to roll around, I had to retreat at times, I actually used a health potion!!! I also died once, only cause the rift guardian spawned while I was fighting another yellow ranked enemy. Still most enemies hardly hurt me and simply take more time to kill, that is not a good combination. I guess I need to go to torment 2 but then o fear enemies will simply take extra long to kill and still won't hurt me.

Here is why the difficulty is all messed up in this game. Let's take a game like Dark Souls, when you reach an era with hard to kill enemies you know this because, THEY KILL YOU QUICKLY. If I fight a boss and three hits kill me I will be on extra guard, I will have to play it very safe, every moment is thrilling cause one mistake means death. Now take that same boss and make it so that difficulty only means raising the HP, so now I reach the boss it hits me and does tiny damage. I hit it and do almost no damage, the resulting fight is just me smacking it with a weapon for 10 minutes with no worry of death, no thrills, no reason to play it safe.

Diablo is an entire game built around the second example, a bunch of enemies that take time to kill. Not skill, not stratgey, just time. It is a terrible way to do difficulty. They need the enemy damage to be very high and lower enemy HP, that creates gameplay where every battle is thrilling and not tedious.

Those aren't the only colors in the game. But how would you suggest (for the areas that have those colours) they better create a diseased, unsettling atmosphere than with muddy colours like those?

I am not saying they shouldn't use them, just that it is ugly to me. MP was far more colorful and easy on the eyes, partly cause it does the classic game areas (forest, ice, fire, earth).

Ran some rifts with solid tonight, we were on torment 3. I died a lot! But then I learned there is basically no penalty for death. There is supposed to be some armor degeneration but I have armor that negates that. Another thing this game gets wrong. Death needs to matter.

We all don't get some games. Bayonetta got fantastic reviews but the little I tried of it left me cold. If he doesn't like it he doesn't like it.

Absolutely....this is why I don't play music games, because its just not my thing. Could be the most incredible music game ever made, but I'm going to hate it. That said, I could at least respect it for what it was if I did play it & I wouldn't be trying to ram it down everyone's throats with paragraphs of my opinions spouted forth as facts that the game is "garbage".

Vader even said he's not a fan of the genre....oook so why even play the game? Makes no sense to me but whatever.

Anyone else try the STEAM demo yet?

Steam demo? I already have the full program. Valve rocks.

I never even heard of this but now I must see it!

It's basically if you took a movie about LARP'ing and turned it into Evil Dead 2 or Army of Darkness. It's the best "bad movie" I've seen in a decade. And hell..... Peter Dinklage. That should sell the movie right there.

And I believe it's on Netflix right now.

Evil Dead is some of my favorite shit of all time. Made my girlfriend watch Army of Darkness with me last year...she was not amused. But that made it even better.

All righty then. Your mission for today is to watch Knights of Badassdom. You will be happy you did. Any metal head will love it.
