Hey, I paid $100 for my copy, and I'm not out whining like a friggen baby over this. It happens. I almost predicted it, being that it happened with WoW and SC2.
I know how to move on and not let it get to me. I know for a fact it'll get fixed in a few days. I can patiently wait, for I know I'll enjoy the hell out of it once all is said and done.
But if complaining about it floats your boat, then by all means. Continue wasting your breath repeating the exact same thing that has BEEN repeated since launch.
Oh god, you big friggen baby. BAWWWW!!! MY GAME DON'T WORK DURING LAUNCH!! EVEN THOUGH IT'S GETTING FIXED, I CAN'T PLAY IT NOW!!! D:
You are not special. You are what we call an elitist entitlement whore. You know, the kind that demands IMMEDIATE REFUNDS if there's so much as a shred of inconvenience accompanied with it.
No, they should not be willing to give people a refund. It was a server snafu that THEY THEMSELVES ADMITTED TO, and not to mention apologized for. The game will work perfectly fine once things are up and in order. In other words, find something else to do and wait like an adult.
I think it's more of a reaction to all the overreactive butthurt entitlement whores who think they're owed perfection when they buy a game on day one. Seriously, get over it. It's a damn game. There are plenty of other things you could be doing if you can't play.
Hey, I went and played some Torchlight to ease the wait, and I think I'm still alive. *checks pulse* Yeah, I'm still here. You'll f'ing live.
Years ago, you'd have a valid point. Today? Especially after the horrible server screw-ups they dealt with World of WarCraft and StarCraft II? Are you that naive?
Hey guess what. It happened. Blizzard stepped up and admitted the problem was on their end and apologized for it. Which is something most companies are too cowardly to do themselves. How about instead of being a douche about it, you just accept their apology.
At least they had the cajones to offer an apology barely 48 hours after release, unlike other companies like EA who don't even bother until almost a month later.
Yeah, GOD FORBID a company make a stupid mistake and then up and say they're sorry. They're soooo evil.
Yes, slight. The game's not gonna go away anytime soon, so once the problem is fixed, it'll be forever in the past. You know what I did while the servers were down? Something else. You should try it too.
I love the complaints. Hey, at least Blizzard's up to admitting to the problem and working on a fix not even 12 hours after release. Most companies ignore such flaws and work on fixing it weeks after it's pointed out.
Name one major release that HASN'T shipped with at least a couple little problems in the last few years.
Do me a favor and list at least ten people you know personally who use a keyboard and mouse with their console games.
The percentage is staggeringly low. It's not even high enough to even be considered as an optional playstyle in most games. In fact, some gamers have been known to be suspended from XBL for "cheating" (according to XBL and complaints from other players) on some FPS titles, like FarCry 2 and Call of Duty since it's an exploited advantage over everyone else.I didn't say it can't be done. But if you're going to use a keyboard and mouse on your XBOX 360, why aren't you getting the PC version instead? Hardware upgrades are often less than the price of a new console. Well... as long as you're not being foolish by buying the highest-end card.
Not only that. Blizzard normally scales down their hardware requirements for new games SPECIFICALLY so that more people will be able to play it on day 1.
They aren't Crytek. Hell, the minimum required graphics card for StarCraft II was a GeForce 6600 or an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro! Those were incredibly old cards for 2010!
There isn't? At all? I suppose you've never heard of a game called Torchlight then. It's not EXACTLY the same, but the basic mechanics are very similar.
Because they can't wrap the idea around their heads what an exclusive game is. Imagine these folks 15+ years ago when you had to have a PS1 to play anything Final Fantasy related, after Square jumped off Nintendo's ship. Imagine the same people whining because they can't play GoldenEye on their PCs or PS1s.
Heck, remember when Sonic only appeared on SEGA platforms, and the idea of a Mario/Sonic cross-over game was simply laughed at?
These crybabies want to have everything, and they want to spend as little as possible to have it handed to them. I have zero sympathy.
Want to play Halo 4 or Gears of War? Buy an XBOX 360. Want to play Demon's Souls, God of War or Metal Gear Solid 4? Buy a PS3. Want to play Zelda or Mario games? Buy a Wii. Want to play Diablo III or StarCraft II? Fork over the money to make your PC play it. It costs less than buying a new console, just an FYI.
You remind me of whiny little kids not getting what they wanted for Christmas. Boo-f'ing-hoo...
