    The Blizzard we grew up with is no more. While Diablo 2 and Warcraft 3 remain high-water marks in gaming, the cash cow that was WoW attracted too many bean counters who systematically ruined Blizzard, culminating in the most disappointing video game of all time: Diablo 3. Don't bother getting your hopes up for Titan, which will have facebook connections and God knows what other casual crap in it. Blizzard is dead.

    Bioware seems to be going through internal struggles of its own, and Bioshock Infinite is more of a wait-and-see than it is a definite Day One purchase for anyone who's been paying attention to all the important people bailing out on the project. I'm cautiously optimistic but I'll wait to see what GAMERS, not crappy review sites, have to say about the game before buying it.

    Bethesda, on the other hand, just made a new Skyrim DLC that is already getting AAA scores. Fallout 3 and Skyrim are two of the best games of this gen, hands down. If you disagree you're either a 10 year old Sheep or a CoD knuckle-dragger - period. Bethesda is probably working on Fallout 4 as you read this, which should get every red blooded gamer hyped!

    So... is Bethesda the best developer left standing? I think so...

    Diablo 3 was a massive success, even if it was a disappointment to many.

    Bioware just released the ending to one of the most regarded series of the gen.

    And Bethesda has... DLC...

    yeah

    bethesda can't really even be called a devloper when they leave their games full of glitches. The PC community has to do have the work to mold the pile of **** they try to sell into an actual game. The console gamers just straight up get screwed. Bethesda is terrible so no

    Diablo III is a huge disappointment, but it's still better than every single game Bethesda has ever made. And Blizzard also recently released StarCraft II. You know, the best RTS game of all time. And you're comparing that to Bethesda's DLC and crap like Fallout 3 and Skyrim?

    Bethesda is trash. Even BioWare makes better games.

    Come at me.

    Not fair, Rockstar is a publishing subsidiary with multiple developers of which some are not even own by the parent company.

    No real gamer likes what they did, and they're even threatening to make facebook a part of their new MMO.

    I get it - you're young, dumb, and full of casual. Good for you, kiddo. Make sure you link your Titan account with faebook so your gramma can see that awesome pair of enchanted clown shoes you found. In the meantime, go back to reddit and continue ruining jokes started... elsewhere.

    I gag at the thought of anyone thinking either Bioware or Bethesda were ever near Blizzard status.

    Incorrect. Unless you have some hard data which indicates such.

    I'm a real gamer and enjoyed Diablo 3.

    26 is young? Attending uni for a Poli Sci Honours is dumb?

    You're a little b*tch who can't accept differing opinions. Grow up, you pompous douche.
