OK, I am playing with a guest pass, and the game is quite solid and fun. And a bit brainless as well, as I played for an hour and didn't need to do anything other than click-click-click, all with my mouse. I'm gonna get it in the future, but it's still too expensive at the moment. But it's pretty fun and addictive.

Trust me. You haven't seen 1/10 of the game yet. The game is NOT brainless.
 
I don't get what's going on with this game's texture settings.

One of the following screenshots was taken with the textures set to "High" and the other with the textures set to "Low". I'll not say which is which. Decide for yourself.

Screen 1 | Screen 2

First low, second high?

The textures seem a little more defined, but it could just be my brain wanting to pick something out. If you look at the bricks, they look a little less one dimensional.
 
thats pretty ambitious! is each act relatively the same length?? I'm at 6 hrs and think im like 2/3 -3/4 done with Act 1. so I'm assuming the 4 acts will take me about 24 hrs

I'm hoping it will take me this long - I am in no hurry to finish. I'm at 3 hours played and I have only done one quest after the beta boss...

S#1 = Low ;)

It's actually pretty easy to tell in a static image if you ask me. Not a real spoiler:
Check the map area. Check the shadows on the trees near the characters. Look at the main character. They're worse if you look at them.
 
I'm beginning to hate public games
That's discouraging to hear because the only one i have joined ended up being really good.

Then again you have to realize it's a new game, a lot of people are coming over from wow with 0 experience with the series and people who haven't played this type of game in 12 years.
 
So, I just bought the game. Haven't really followed the kerfuffle since last night. Am I gonna be waiting hours before I can play, or has that stuff been ironed out somewhat?
 
Game's getting slammed on Metacritic, I swear this happens with pretty much every major PC gaming release.

Why are you guys the 'Master Race' again?
It's getting slammed by idiot kids who skipped school and couldn't play their game on day 1.

Besides who goes to metacritic? i always thought metacritic was the fanboy site where the drones and bots bashed each others exclusives.

I have been playing since 9am(EST) this morning with absolutely 0 problems.
 
Really? The monk has so many survivability abilities it's insane. Im pretty sure there's a rune to make every skill heal/add dodge/add armor. Not to mention the mantras and passives that heal and dodge. Its basically all about finding just the right amount to use so your offense doesn't suffer.
I'm probably too DPS-focused. The one thing I have going for me is 20+ HP gained per smack. Nice with duel wield. I can basically sit there and tank most mini bosses and watch my life climb.

The problem is big hitters and casters...just over 1k HP at level 25. Two hard hits connect and I'm a goner.
 
The metacritic user reviews are so stupid. Makes PC gamers look like children. Same thing happened with SC2. I also hate when the media outlets bring it to light.

Slammed? It has 90 90 80. (user comments are usually people who are trying to be cool hence log into metacritic just to bash things)
 
How are you finding the game? I'm out of sync with what's happening as I'm not playing it myself, but is this sudden user backlash justified?

A lot of people are angry over the server issues and are taking their frustration out by doing that with Metacritic and leaving bad reviews on Amazon.

The game itself is fantastic but the server issues are annoying. It'll all get sorted out.

It's generally fantastic. I haven't even reached the end of the beta content, though, so I'm not in a position to judge the entire product.

The thing is nobody gives a shit about the people who were complaining.

Games have problems and the game works perfectly now, god forbid someone can't play a video game for 24 hours and most of that backlash was out of pure ignorance of how servers work. And as for the game it is really really fun.

The backlash was of people not knowing how servers work? What are you talking about?
 
Taking a break from leveling (because I can't progress anymore) to watch some streams of my man Kripp :)
 
It's metacritic. I mean really, I shouldn't have to explain anymore then that.


BTW 5PM est server down in T minus 59 58 57
 
Act 1 is longer than I thought :o

Thought I would pass it today but it keeps going :lol

Also I'm having the best luck ever! Just now I found another yellow item, this the 5th one today! My Monk is just wrecking shit now!

JUNIE!!! You live!!! I was worried.
 
Wow, sorry guys, it's abundantly clear on many popular sites that there is a strong (user based) backlash against this game, your touchiness isn't really convincing me otherwise. I just wanted to know whether it was down to the quality of the game or the current state of the game's service.
 
3 o clock! Time to leave this shit hole called work! Gotta hustle through errands to go play.

Wow calm down guys, it's abundantly clear on many popular sites that there is a strong (user based) backlash against this game, your touchiness isn't really convincing me otherwise. I just wanted to know whether it was down to the quality of the game or the current state of the game's service.

It's the service and the fact that it's online-only that has people upset, for the most part.
