Yoshi is a Blizzard fan?

[Diyne]

Oh no, Yoshi-P likes other video games!

Wrong forums. I hear they like to complain a lot.

That's because of the hype train though, you release a few good games, they become hits. Then you take your sweet time to produce your games as you mooch off the profits of WoW and with said hype/fandom of course they will sell like hot cakes. A company like that only thinks about hype and earning money through a single product and not taking many risk.

SE on the otherhand prefers to work their minds and produce a bunch of games, if they flop they flop if they're a hit (Kingdom Hearts) then they can expand on the series and continue it lol. I'd much rather have a game developer which has a 50-75% success rate with games and released 10+ a yr rather then a company that you could argue has a 100% success rate yet only released 2-3 games every decade.

Because FF high sales are not due to the "hype train", come on, be serious a minute. SE fanboys are just as bad if not worse than their Blizzard counterpart. Especially in Japan. Some people are willing to buy anything Square Enix sells, and not even games, even overpriced piece of merchandise (look a ring made of pure silver! Only ¥20,000 !)

Blizzard games are good, period. You may like or not like the direction they are taking, yet they make good games and it looks like Yoshi-P knows it as well . Just like how offline numbered titles of FF are good RPG. It's not a matter of opinion or whatever. Liking and disliking something is irrelevant with the quality of a title. It's just like food, you can eat something made by a 3 stars chef, and not like it. It doesn't mean that the food is bad.

Finally your statement regarding "success rate" is utter non sense. Square Enix have tons of IPs and focus mainly on console gaming. Blizzard focus on PC gaming (in before Starcraft 64 lol). Just because of that, they cannot release half of the game SE can release.

While SE can release Final Fantasy the spin off of the rehash IV International Version, Blizzard only release games on one platform, PC. I don't care about the amount of IP a company have neither about the frequency of their release. What I want is the game I play to be amazing, nothing more, nothing less. Could it be Blizzard or SE. Both made games that left me with amazing memories, that is what gaming is all about.

Blizzard could literally stick a turd in a box, sell it at 50$ a pop, and still sell over a million copies. Whether D3 was a good game or not is completely irrelevant.

I'd also like to mention that Yoshi-P likes skyrim too. If he can take ANY of the positives of elder scrolls and apply it to this game, it'll be a win in my book.

for all that is holy i hope any of the shitfest that is Daiblo 3 doesnt influence him. Blizzard completely ruined diablo. FF14 at its release was still a much better game. Diablo 3 is a catastrophe.

on the otherhand this game has improved much, become more enjoyable and the devs really have learned to understand there community;unlike blizzard who just ignored the Diablo 3 community and tarnished the franchise beyond repair almost at this point.


ps: i still have a slight problem w/ the relic system it was stated originally that they would be easily accessible to everyone and that is now the complete opposite.

Diablo 3 rocks, the game is just as grand as the other titles though I do admit the real money AH didn't work out as well as I or they probably hoped it would but the game is still a major success. Apparently you haven't really sat down and played the game without ignoring the minor setbacks and realize the game is just as solid as D1 and D2. Though a game like Diablo 3 isn't going to effect how a MMORPG runs because it is technically not an MMORPG.

Someone did one of these for starcraft 2 as well, mostly mocking the new battle.net "features." Well, the rock doesn't have FACEBOOK INTEGRATION!

Well I saw it like sometime last night... finally after I saw a friend posting it, I decided to share it here. XD

i love the blizzard ruined diablo did it ever occurred to you that d1 and d2 where so awesome because back then you didn't have much choice for games compared to now? d3 is doing very well just because it didn't end up the way you hoped doesn't mean it sucked.

What are you talking about? Rocks have been interacting with faces for millions of years!

I play Diablo 3. I am casual to mediocre at best. I like it for what it is, I don't worry about what it is not. I have fun playing with my friends.

One of the reasons that I never stopped playing FFXIV (probably the biggest), is that I am fortunate enough to have met some awesome people both in and out of my linkshell. If not for them, I probably would have stopped playing after a few months. If you can have fun, that more important than anything else in my book. Even the quality (or lack there of) at launch. As far as I am concerned, Yoshi can fend off all the fiends of hell he wants. Heck, I'd do it with him if he doesn't mind playing with someone who can't speak Japanese.

Keep on doing what you are doing Yoshi P. If it is any consolation, I am too busy playing your game to finish my first play through of Diablo III. I'll get to it someday...
