Why all the elitism?

Re: Why all the elitism?

No offense, but that sounds crappy to me. It's like Diablo II had unprotected sex with Major Stryker and for some reason didn't abort the hideous arcade game hybrid they got pregnant with.

Next time try thinking of some meaningful criticism to say other than your childhood sex fantasies.

And some general advice ... if you don't like a mode in any game or lack the skill to tackle it .. DON'T PLAY IT.

The Sims sold 100 Millions. Mario sold 210 Millions.

Yeah yeah. Technically it's 23 million versus 40 million - but SMB came with the NES. If you want to split hairs, Wii Play sold more than SMB.

I'm pretty sure my criticism was quite obvious in my "childhood sex fantasy", in that it sounds far too much like an arcade game and far too little like an ARPG.

As to your general advice, I don't play games I don't like, so I suppose I can count myself lucky that you're not on the dev team for this one. And don't get all butthurt, I said "no offense", it's not like I was insulting your mother

Lols, i suggest you wake up .. Diablo is arcade ... beneath the thin layer of RPG it is very arcadey at its core ..... not to mention ... all arcade/action games now implement RPG features as well .. so it isn't far fetched actually it should be expected.

Want to play a true RPG ... look elsewhere cause Diablo never was .. it is arcade and it is Hack & Slash at its core .. just with added various RPGs touches.

And still that still doesn't count as meaningful criticism.

As to your general advice, I don't play games I don't like.

So becasue a game has a mode you don't like you simply don't play the WHOLE game .. well guess you don't play much games altogether then XD

so I suppose I can count myself lucky that you're not on the dev team for this one.

Hahaha .. same here.

I didn't say Diablo was an RPG or that I'm looking to play an RPG. It's a hack & slash ARPG, but you can cry genre all you like even if you're wrong. What you described I could imagine playing in an actual arcade in my childhood. You know, those places people went in the olden days, before mainstream video games made it to the home. Oh noes, I died on wave 36, quick insert coins so I can rez my pally! Lame. That is not what Diablo is.

And still that still doesn't count as meaningful criticism.

Objectively it does, I told you I thought your idea sucked and I told you why. You want Galaga and I want Diablo.

So becasue a game has a mode you don't like you simply don't play the WHOLE game .. well guess you don't play much games altogether then XD

That's actually not what I said. If Blizzard implements your linear arcade-style idea as the only way to get the best gear, it would wreck the replayability for me, and I suspect a lot of people. It's not very clever end-game content.

Hahaha .. same here.

Don't worry, I've dealt with plenty of noobs over the years

Re: Why all the elitism?

I won't read all 9 pages, I read a few but when a friend linked me I thought I'd take a little extra peak..

And a Survival-esque mode doesn't belong with Diablo imo, sure it can fit in RPGs but I can't imagine it'd be the same game with the arcade-themed beatemup/devil may cryness minigame of survival :smug:

I personally think Diablo is an RPG and not an Arcade game. I think practically everyone will argue that

Re: Why all the elitism?

Generally threads like these tend to not go well. I see that this one isn't the exception proving the rule. Now listen very carefully, I shall only say this once. The next person to insult the person he is replying to (and I don't care how tactfully you do it) will be taking a three day vacation from the forums. So think hard about your next reply. I am sick of having to read three pages of people finding new ways of calling each other noobs, idiots, elitist jerks and arrogant prats every day.

Ah, that's one of those we don't ever hear over in the states. I wonder what the etymology is.

Re: Why all the elitism?

It's hard to imagine a thread with a topic like this not turning into a flamefest..

Re: Why all the elitism?

Nevertheless, you should all know the forum rules by now. You did check the box that stated "I have read and understand the forum rules" when you signed up.

The rules apply to all members regardless of how long you have been here or how many posts you have, and you are expected to follow them., this includes treating others with respect.

End of discussion.

The English tend to use it a lot. I don't think the Americans really have a word for it.

Funny, I thought the same thing. Glad there's another dorky linguist here.

All I found was c.1560; origin unknown.

(What? Like this thread is going anywhere. )

LOL perfect statement coming from you when you write this

^^ I bet you were one of those people who played almost 24/7 and mommy had to take away the keyboard and mouse and you had to go buy another.

And I wasn't insulting him if you look at it and take it into context how it should be taken.

It's more of a scenario of like in a game where 1 person says he is better than the other person. It isn't an insult but simply a challenge. If you specifically didn't take it that way, doesn't matter cause it didn't relate to you anyways.

The English tend to use it a lot. I don't think the Americans really have a word for it.

I have actually heard this term used a few times, be it in high school / college. But the person who used it in America tended to get laughed at for using it. Why? I dunno i have no idea, but I know that every time I've heard it been used the user got laughed at. We Americans are a-holes.

He's a moderator.
Everything that goes on in here directly relates to him, because that is his resposibility.

Yeah but after his one words(that I quoted), he will never get treated like a moderator from me. No respect, lost it all. Not that he cares(or maybe he does?) but I dunno. Just sayin.

This is like sitting outside a bar and watching a drunk guy argue with a cop.

You just need to be patient and wait for it.

Rofl, I had that once. Because I was arguing with him, and in the car they were driving like 100 mph in a 60 mph speed limit road so i told him to slow the fook down(i dunno if cussing is allowed in the forum) and they told me to shut up and yeah. Anyways they took me to jail and were total a-holes. They put me on this bench and wouldn't let me go anywhere while they did w/e they had to do.
I told him I needed to go to the bathroom but they told me to bad hold it in blahblah. So I just pissed my pants so it went all over there bench and floor so they would have to clean it up. Yeah they were pissed, they hit me a couple times and threw me in jail for the night, released me in the morning.
I tried to sue them but it just so happens that they decided not to keep any records on me being in there, so I couldn't sue them because there was no evidence I was ever there.

CORRUPT COPS!
