I know he means it is not a bad game it is just his connection speed is slow. You are right it should not have a always on feature being it is a single player but look at the trend that is happening. More and more companies are about to adopt this method and due to the fact the internet has evolved they are taking advantage of it. The only recourse that is available to anyone if you are against single online connection just do not buy the game. I am lucky I have a fast connection and it rarely goes down(The only good thing about having Comcast) and it is usually the developer's servers that goes down.
@snakebite6x6x6 @lonewolf1044 I haven't played D3 for awhile and I am not saying it is a bad game, but it just does not have that draw that D2 had. I also have TL 1 and 2 and like them very much
@Scorpion1813 @lonewolf1044 Maybe for you it does but not everybody has a slow connection. As I said not all games that require a connection does not necessarily mean it is a bad game. Sorry you have a crappy internet connection but if your service is that bad do not invest in games in that requires a good connection. It is not the companies fault that your internet service is slow.
Yes, it sucks to have a always on requirement but that still does not mean a game is bad because of it and if a game is really good many will still play and overlook that one dark spot. I do not like the always on requirement but why should I miss out on a good game.
It should be both our visions EA's and it's customers and EA chose it to be their vision. However, as sad as one may look at it, it is their product and they can promote it anyway they see fit. it is also the customers that do not wish to be part of this, has the right not to partake in the product. I played it and it is not a bad product. The problem with this type of program whether it is a MMO or just have the online requirement if the servers or even the customers ISP goes down, the game becomes unplayable and who knows when it will come back up. I think EA could have asked it's customers whether they want this type play and had a vote of some kind. But right now it is what it is and EA will not back down regardless of the negativity it is generating.
@Elann2008 @lonewolf1044 Apple does the same thing with their ipads and iphones. personally I avoid devices like these but some overlook these limitations and will still buy them. As long as there is a market for them and people will buy them there is no bad trend.
@ChiefReaver @SickHammer While I think the price is high and I understand the cost, but there is a bigger picture here. This device is only the beginning and in time as the technology grows. Handhelds may become as powerful as a laptop or PC. However, I rather wait until a few generation is made. PC started out small and worked it's way up.
