@Raidendude153: Diablo 3 doesn't try to be POE, at all. I have beaten Diablo 1 and played hundreds of hours of D2 and I also really like D3ROS. Never was a fan of D3V, but RoS was a great time, just isn't all that fun after having played it quite a bit, like the original commenter said.
It is a total joke. Even streamers that are doing their best to try and hype every little thing think it is complete crap. The assets are ripped straight from Leoric's Tomb from the moment you walk into the first level, the only cool thing is the custom Diablo model at the very bottom. If they went with the core of the idea, built it in D3 and all, but actually made it feel like the original D1 everyone would have loved it, great fan service. Unfortunately we get a missed opportunity.
Downscaling textures for split screen has a been a common practice for years. Downscaling for the sake of mobility and battery life will be just fine, I am fine with these numbers.
@xcael: Yeah, that is probably one of the first things that I noticed after playing the game for a while and getting good enough to be able to notice individual weapons and classes more effectively. Then I noticed people were running around with shotguns on absolutely MASSIVE maps with few tight hallways. Absolutely necessary change. Now The Coalition needs to fix Gears' shotgun and I will be a happy camper.
@everson_rm: From my general understanding I don't think your CPU should be a problem at all. They just did some tests of the original i7 that had come out a few years ago and the differences in performance were really minor between that and a much more expensive modern CPU. I went midrange with my first gaming setup. I now have a SSD instead of HDD, 16GB of 2400mhz RAM up from 8GB of 1600mhz, and if I upgraded my graphics from the 750ti to something more modern I'd be able to push anything newer just fine.
@sugarboy79: A generic 1080p monitor (like mine), has a 60 FPS (frames per second) refresh rate. Nicer 1080p monitors have 120 FPS refresh rate. Then there are crazy 240hz monitors. All things considered, 60 FPS is a standard for a reason, above that the fluidity provides diminishing returns. A solid 1440p 120hz monitor would be amazing, 1440p would be very solid, and if you are wanting to go dual monitor just get 2 1080p 120hz monitors, a 1 1440p and 1 1080p at 120hz, or for supreme budget (like myself), 2 1080p 60hz monitors. Hope this helps!
The salt from all of your tears is delicious, having a blast with the game, freshest multiplayer experience since Halo 2 on console and Battlefield 2 on PC. Never played UT back in the day, was pretty strictly an RTS fan back in the day.
@no_concern Go to IGN man. They still haven't cashed in a review. And if you think this is bad, consider the sites that had a review in within 12 hours of release. Zzzzzz. Gamespot is just one site, and while I agree that this review is a bit of a joke (minimal details for a huge release and a middle of the ground not-too-good not-too-bad score) it IS just this one persons opinion. And if you are worried about this games metacritic and reception, just don't be, it is a well-loved expansion and its metacritic is reflecting that. Burning Crusade got a 91 metacritic and WC3: TFT got an 88. These are two of the best expansions I can think of, and currently RoS has an 86. That is really really good for an expansion.
