Ugh, ****ing hate games that you can complete in 20 minutes, then its like "Hey, how about you start from the beginning and play it all again on a harder difficulty?"

Erm....how about "No, Blizzard, make your games harder from the offset so i can't faceroll it in 20 minutes, and stop being lazy and make the actual ****ing game longer with more content."

That was the vanilla game, not sure I want to subject myself to an expansion. Gameplay was dull and repetitive as ****, and once I had completed the game 4 times to get to hardcore mode, I was so bored of the game.

Not just an expansion, overhaul of the system entirely. Level up much quicker, get the legendary drops more often and for your character ( not waiting and waiting and then FINALLY...... for another character). I was able to import all the stuff from PS3 so able to jump straight in to the nightmare mode etc.

Much improved version of 3. I know what you mean from the ps3 version though, it was a bit frustrating with some of the ease it took.

Nah I play on PC only mate.
PC snob me.
I vividly remember Diablo 1, played it to death back in the day on Battle.net back in 1996 on my dial up modem :)
 
The original Diablo on dial up was ****ing epic, hahahahaha, no-one got anywhere near a house phone in my house for a very long time!

With a friend of mine we collected every item in game :p

...we where sad kids hahaha
 
Did any of you ever play games on the BBS before the internet became popular?

I remember playing games like Legend of the Red Dragon, Land of Devastation and Operation Overkill on dial up. ASCII art... woohoo!

The old forums on Bulletin Boards would be interesting... you could post messages in real time to people local- but if it was international forums you would have to wait until the BBS you were on uploaded/downloaded the most recent conversations. So anyone out of town you'd have to wait 24hrs per message.

Diablo 2 was the tits, the titty ****ing, and the spunk all in one. <ok>

I have FIFA 15 preordered for PC but no early access
 
Identical to 14. EA continue one of the longest running scams ever. I see the price has gone up as well.

From my limited time with the demo, the gameplay has actually improved a lot. It seems genuinely more fluid. Previously through balls were useless since they were scripted to go directly the the opponent's feet. Now the ball seems less locked to predefined paths.

EA are total ****s like, but FIFA 15 seems decent.

Pure joy at getting Sterling, then remembers he's a Manc <laugh>
 
Been playing Skyrim forever now, also went through Max Payne 3 again as it was £5 but will be looking for a new game soon. Destiny looks good but I'm not online, Titanfall looks ok but I've heard it's repetative?

GTA 5 is probably going to be the one I get as it's around the £20 mark now.
 
FIFA15 is decent in Career Mode with the 20 PL grounds all in the game. But in a few seasons time that will be ruined as teams get relegated etc...

Career Mode is 110% identical to what it was in 14. The only game mode they give a s**t about anymore is UT.

So its still the same scouting network system for searching for new players? If so, it's time to retry PES for me.

It's where they make most of their money.

...and the direction all games are going in now. Its not enough paying £350+ on a console and £50+ for a game, you have to pay a annual online subscription too. Plus, if you want a decent team (in terms of Fifa) you have to buy credits too. Its ****ing ridiculous!
 
Who the **** spends money on points, never mind £15.99 <laugh>

Paying is ******ed. Improving the team naturally is more rewarding. Plus who wants to buy the best possible team day 1 and then have almost no changes for the rest of the year?

Anyway a lot of the people who pay money for points and open packs for youtube videos make the money back on youtube ad money so it's just an investment for them.

In my opening packs I got a lot of German players so I built my side around them while adding in PL players as I earn coins

Yeah, I've never paid a penny towards FUT. I don't even get the points with buying the game <whistle>
