You obviously didn't read the article. It tells you why, and I agree with them. That's the way it should be done.

But if you haven't read the article then you still don't know what I'm going on about.

N4GFTW!!!

Abriael3955d ago

because Blizzard said so?

"it'll be ready when it's ready" :D

ifritAlkhemyst3955d ago

Freaking Blizzard. They've become about as lazy as 3D Realms was.

jeffgoldwin3955d ago

Nah blizzard makes top notch games. 3d realms is irrelevant.

Brucis3955d ago

Diablo III was 'top notch'?

Perjoss3955d ago

"Nah blizzard used to make top notch games."

I fixed your comment for you.

3-4-53955d ago

So if they release a rushed buggy game that doesn't work that makes them not lazy ?

Where is your logic man ?

thekhurg3955d ago

Delaying this game only lessens interest in it. Launch is the perfect time too much awesome coming out in 2014 for people to want to play an old game.

sorane3955d ago

It's a bad game so who cares....

Alexious3955d ago

Honestly I enjoyed it for 85-90 hours or so. Sure, it doesn't have a lasting appeal, but the first time it's worth it.

I couldn't get myself into either Torchlight II or Path of Exile, though.

not mediocre, just kind of cool

The main issue I had, apart from the DRM, was that they removed pretty much all non-gear based RPG mechanics.

You can no longer allocate attribute points, and worse the skills are given to you automatically upon reaching certain levels.

One of the best parts about D2 was agonizing over where to put that shiny new skill point. In D3 you're given every spell and just need to put it on your hotbar. It ends up making every character of your class and level the exact same except for the gear they have equipped.

CalvinKlein3955d ago

I thought it was awesome for a dungeon crawler. Just because it wasnt as good as diablo 2 doesnt mean it sucked. Playing it with my friends was alot of fun.

The worst thing about it was the needing to be connected to play it and their servers went down alot when it came out.

Another L for Xbox, when are they going to have good news?

MrDead1d 7h ago

I would read the article but the giant pop-ups from the top and bottom of the screen made me close it.

Without reading $23.4 million isn't a deterrent for a company that size.

peppeaccardo1d 7h ago

Boss: Let's fire a few people to recoup on that loss.
Slave: Cortana has decided to get rid of Arkane Austin and Tango Gameworks.
Boss: Let's get those Firing Letters "Copilot Approved" and send them through the power of the cloud.
Slave: Long Live Phil !!!
ALL in the room: LONG LIVE PHIL !!!!

Well another troll company with a patent trying to extort money out of companies. Seems like they’re going to try and sue everyone.

Not enough drain them for more, fuck Blizzard POS company.

An Update on This Year’s BlizzCon and Blizzard’s 2024 Live Events

Blizzard writes: "After careful consideration over the last year, we at Blizzard have made the decision not to hold BlizzCon in 2024. This decision was not made lightly as BlizzCon remains a very special event for all of us, and we know many of you look forward to it. While we’re approaching this year differently and as we have explored different event formats in the past, rest assured that we are just as excited as ever to bring BlizzCon back in future years."

Diablo 4 storefront being a cash grabbing shitshow does unironically attest to that, kudos.

kythlyn22d ago

Microsoft needs to be guiding Blizzard to be what it USED to be, not allowing it to continue to be the greedy bastardization of itself that it has become.

XiNatsuDragnel23d ago (Edited 23d ago )

Okay i will be interested if they become old Blizzard but might as well be dead.

Rynxie23d ago

They will never be old blizzard. Most of all the OG's left from developers to those on the top (even some decision making folks left).

Vits23d ago

Shame most of the people that made Blizzard what they were, have already left a while ago.

ApocalypseShadow23d ago

I was about to say this. How can they be blizzard when they're no longer blizzard from yesteryear?

blacktiger23d ago

Rare was the thing I lost heart

victorMaje23d ago

Exactly. Blizzard hasn’t been Blizzard for a long time.
Oh how the mighty have fallen.

Knightofelemia23d ago

Blizzard is not the same Blizzard like it use to be.

PassNextquestion23d ago

Were you expecting Microsoft to hire everyone that had left Blizzard long before they purchased the company...

Microsoft has let the Blizzard company they purchased continue to be the Blizzard company they purchased.

thesoftware73023d ago

Wow, PassNextquestion,

You fully understand what that saying means, unlike some people on here who just have to say negative garbage talk.

When someone says, "Just let *blank* be *blank*, "they are just letting them operate how they operate.

It's pretty much how Sony "let Bungie be Bungie."

This comment section is full of outright haters, but you have to "let N4G be N4G"

GamerRN23d ago

This site leans so heavily in one direction...

BISHOP-BRASIL22d ago

I don't think people commenting are necessarily blaming MS for anything here, this is just collective longing for what Blizzard/Vivendi was before Activision's meddling.
