    Wow. Yes they may both be RPGs, but they are at opposite ends of the fantasy RPG spectrum. The Elder Scrolls series is about open world exploration, flexible first person combat and a very wide range of character attributes. The Diablo series are closed world loot centric dungeon crawlers where your equipment is the most important aspect of your character, Diablo 3 has more in similar with roguelike RPGs than Skyrim.

    Diablo is more like a hack and slash, dungeon adventure RPG with an isometric view. Items in the other ones were generally randomly generated. So you had to sometimes grind for a weapon or such that you really needed.

    Skyrim can be played in 3rd person, it's more story driven and is an epic rpg in terms of storyline and the world around you. It has a really rich indepth HUUUGE world.

    Tash you might aswell buy every other ****ing game which has weapons attributes and quests, as they are all like the same. ****ing think before you write even watching the videos on them you can tell they are different types of game.

    EDIT: I am repping you Calaye for being faster <3

  5. Wow, throwing your dummy out the pram over a discussion about video games? Grow up you child.

    I'm not saying they're exactly the same at all, all i'm saying is that if he likes Skyrim he may like Diablo because they're the same type of game, which they are. I'm not saying he WILL like it, he might.

  6. You are encouraged to explore the realms within Diablo, it's not as in depth as Skyrim, but there are open worlds and closed dungeon type scenes in it.

    There are some aspects about the games that are different but overall they're the same type of game. I'm not saying the gameplay within the game is the same.

    And your equipment is not really the dominate aspect of your character, your abilities that you choose to level out matter massively, and also your attributes. You need to boost your attributes and abilities/powers to be able to use certain weapons, and to wear certain pieces of armour/clothing.

    You can find weapons and items by random looting to creatures, exploring the realms and finding them, completing quests and being rewarded, or you can buy weapons from traders or from other users if you choose to play online.

    Diablo is more complex than you think mate, it's just most videos on youtube only show waves of monsters fleeting towards you. It would be boring if you just watched someone randomly explore, but it's kind of exciting doing it yourself.

    Try as an obscure Australian team, thats what I did. Really good as you ahve to think a lot about players, as the quality is pretty low. I managed to get a few old Prem players to play for their final season, andf managed to build a team from the success that brought.

    Looking at Ninis, Gotze and Eriksen (all CAM) on Fifa 11.. wondering if anyone knows the best one to go for? I've had Gotze before so don't know whether to go for something new or go with him again (he's virtually impossible to sign after the first window too)

    edit; and Dzagoev too... so many CAMs, so little.. room in the squad and cash, I suppose..

    Tash you have enlightened me, I will now become a bigot and a racist, you are a good role model for a "child" like me.

    But you are still wrong in saying they are the same. Play Oblivion, then play the older Diablo games if you hate the graphics playing something like Torchlight, they aren't the ****ing same, but I guess it's too hard for someone so bigoted to understand.

    EDIT: I miss Sanchin0 in this thread :(.

    Nah I haven't but I don't know I think I would just feel that if I am gonna play it I might aswell play the pc version. I had Footy Man on PSP years ago, and I rarely played it.

  12. I'm not a bigot or a racist and it just shows how pathetic you are bringing things like that up. I've used racist language in the past, and regretted it. I said it out of anger in the spur of moment, and i apologized for it, which was the mature thing to do. No doubt simply because it was me, people were calling me to be banned straight away, which i was, even though idiots like Edge do it all the time and never get a warning.

    You threw a tantrum over a discussion about video games, which is what makes you childish. I've been playing Diablo 2 since you were in nappies mate, or at least you act like someone who would have been in nappies around 12 years ago. I've been playing Diablo 2 since i was 7, i think i know what Diablo is all about. And i have played Oblivion. I remember a bit i got stuck on, on the arena where i had to kill these 3 blokes at once and couldn't do it.

    The bits where the guards faces pop up on your screen shouting "Halt, you violated the law" frighten the **** out of me sometimes because it's like all quiet when you're robbing someones house, and then full blast it pops up at you lol.

    I know what i'm talking about, and i know i haven't got a perfect record, but at least i didn't get bitchy over a computer game...

    :emoticon-0149-no:

    I don't understand where I threw the tantrum (Oh btw pot, kettle, black right there) I used two expletives in my text to emphasize how idiotic that you stating two games with BASIC RPG elements are THE SAME that if you like one you will like the other.

    Even Calaye agrees with me, and probably many others, the RPG genre is really broad, but because they are classed as RPG's does not make them the same or similiar, especially as Calaye pointed out they are on opposite spectrums. By your definition of them many other games are the same, you may aswell go buy all them.

    Tash I am actually older than you by a few years, so I doubt you were playing them while I was in nappies <diva>.

    Why do you have to bring in EDGE into this discussion, I don't care if he makes racist remarks, he's obviously overtly racist he's like Skyrim and you're like the Diablo 3, covertly racist. <monster>

    And by the way the way you go around you do seem very bigoted.

  18. By saying should, it wasn't like i was saying "get your fat ****ing arse down to Tesco and pre-order ****ing Diablo 3 you fat ****".

    It was just a suggestion, it was you that turned it into a squabble mate.

    You shouldn't have brought the bigot and racist remarks into this discussion, but you did because you're a cretin.

    Can't be arsed to continue in this crap btw, i'll let you have the last word in this if you want, because i know kids love to get the last word in things all the time.

  19. On to another subject...

    Do do you lads reckon Sammy will be put in Fifa 12? He wasn't in Fifa 11, but now he's made a PL appearance he should surely be in the game?

    I'd rate him at around 68/69.

    Some more bigoted behaviour right here.

    Tash me and Calaye both gave similiar opinions against what you said. Then you go on to personal insults calling me a a child and stuff. You started the squabble stop acting like you are taking the high road, I know you are trying to show everyone mature you have 'become'.
