Diablo 3 is nothing compared to NS2.

    I'm not a Diablo player, but I've heard it's been disappointing. Glad you think NS2 is better! :-)

    And yet the unfinished one is already superior in fun and gameplay to the AAA title that took 10-something years to be dumbed down to its current un-fun state to appeal to casual gamers and protect the children from blood and gore while playing a satanically-themed game where one of the abilities lets you rip the bones and innards out of an enemy and make them fight for you. Brilliant job on <i>THAT</i> one, Blizzard.

    Day Z would be fun if not for the prevalence of PKs (most of whom are just killing players for the lulz, or being retarded f**ksticks like Bashur rather than roleplaying the setting), and a general inability to connect to the master server (and by extension play on any of the local servers you may choose).

    Actually it's the local servers that get flooded by impatient people joining and leave trying and ddosing yet another server: <a href="http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=3693&pid=34141#pid34141" target="_blank">http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?ti...=34141#pid34141</a>

    The times I played everyone I met was friendly, I even got an ammo clip off a guy, gave him some water.
    Well, except for that one time when I entered a barn and couldn't find my mic in time.

    As for the topic, yeah...

    Lol of course NS2 is better...but this is the UWE forum after all.

    I wonder what sort of response you'd get asking the same question (NS2 vs. D3?) on the Blizzard forums? ;)
  • Not FlayraNot Flayra Join Date: 2012-05-18 Member: 152282Members
    Probably the same kind you'd get asking about Halo, Gears of War, or Modern Dutyfield 7: Black Ops at any frathouse.
    A last-man-standing broken-bottle fight where the only winner is the one who doesn't bleed out, perfect for pay-per-view.

    That said, I've had friends telling me that they had to stop after Act II as they were just getting bored and burned out from the repetition and simplistic gameplay, and hoped they'd get some interest back after taking a break for a few days.


    ...uh, of Diablo 3 that is.
    I don't know how you'd last that long in a broken-bottle bloodsport fight unless it was just hours of Dragonball-esque grunting and flexing. Which isn't really a fight, as much as it is posing and trying to look cool, while failing miserably. Just like Dragonball!

    You would get people asking what NS2 is.

    And then you reply with: It's Starcraft with FPS and UWE will be swarmed with new sales. Dangerous in itself, because performance still needs to go up to really show it to the masses. First impressions and such!

    The only problem is the login server a la DRM and connection of always being online. The game is good and runs well. NS2 runs like an ADHD child with chocolate sauce on its face when compared to diablo 3

    I'm confused by this. Day Z uses a central login server for persistent characters and to avoid the already-full-of-jerks playerbase from editing their character file to give themselves tons of stuff. The dev team wasn't expecting the early adoption it received, so the main server is swamped, and gets slower as impatient CoD-kiddies constantly relog to try to force their way in faster, screwing things up for everyone.

    Diablo 3 uses always-on DRM by forcing you to connect to a remote server to play the game, much for the same reasons. Oh, and anti-piracy, which Blizzard has gone *crazy* over recently, as they're trying to catch up with Gabe Newell's Scrooge McDuck-like Money Vault, so people will come to their parties on the weekends instead.

    NS2... runs like an ADHD child with chocolate sauce... what? Wouldn't that mean it'd run along screamingly fast, running into things and just keeping on going, while demolishing the crotches of any male unwary enough to be standing at crotch-punching/headbutt height? Actually, that's not bad. I'm going to have to get Hugh to include that in the next video... '<i>NS2 will demolish your groin!</i>'.
    Maybe not.

    Mostly wrong. The central server isn't under great load, the amount of traffic it handles is pretty modest. The majority of problems are caused by people spamming join attempts at the game servers themselves trying to join a full server as soon as a slot appears.

    I'll say this one thing I dislike the most about D3 (besides being insanely streamlined).

    The whole game was stupid easy up until you reach inferno.

    I should've closed this instead of letting it go on.
