Since many of there games are online only or online required when the servers go down( and they will) there games are nothing.

Soo noo.

(diablo3 on consoles ia awesome thou all haill offline play)

That's the entire PS4 library untli they allow easy use of external hard drives to save downloads and patches for the long term.

Seriously, no game you buy for the PS4 or Xbox1 is actually on the disk you receive; the moment they stop supporting it those games are gone, which is fairly true for most games these days.

Yes, parts of games that doesn't fit on the disc are sometimes patched in but it's often multiplayer content (for instance Uncharted 4) so that when servers are shut down, it wouldn't make any difference. You're still able to play the singleplayer content with only the disc and no online (server) connection.

Well, unless of course your game is Assassin's Creed: Unity where you'd be pretty fucked without patches :p

Well I just like Diablo and Overwatch.
But they do seem to produce a lot of quality titles, and one thing I like about Blizzard is that they support their games long term, and are dedicated to making them better. Diablo 3 upon release was not a good game. Today it is, thanks to years of updates from Blizzard.

While you're right, it's kinda funny that other studios are crucified for bringing in the quality through patches post launch XD

I find your lack of CD Projekt RED disturbing

They are also another example of a company that keeps working on its products for a long time, keeps on adding content and doesn't get backlash for it. Strange how it works for these two, while others get crucified. Granted, their games are usually very good on release and they do work from day 1.



Wii U is a GCN 2 - I called it months before the release!

My Vita to-buy list: The Walking Dead, Persona 4 Golden, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, TearAway, Ys: Memories of Celceta, Muramasa: The Demon Blade, History: Legends of War, FIFA 13, Final Fantasy HD X, X-2, Worms Revolution Extreme, The Amazing Spiderman, Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate - too many no-gaemz :/

My consoles: PS2 Slim, PS3 Slim 320 GB, PSV 32 GB, Wii, DSi.

I can definitely get on board with that :)

Honestly I've simply overlooked CD Red so far, but I'm planning to play Witcher 3 once I upgrade my PC.

CD RED gives A LOT to its supporters. There are 18 free DLCs for Witcher 3, and 2 paid expension. For the price of those 2 expensions (25$) you basically get a new game's worth of content. 

I did Hearts of Stone, and am now going through Blood and Wine, and by the time I'm done, I will have clocked over 40 hours compined with these two. And both are of really high quality. They put as much care into those expensions as they did in the main game. Even adding new gameplay features and mechanics!

So yeah, they don't get the backlash most other devs get because they respect gamers and their expectations (although someone might bring up the PC version of the game having been downgraded visually... But those are a minority of the PC gamers who have an overgrown sense of self-entitlement xD). CD RED don't nickel and dime gamers, and they are quick to release updates and patches when problems surface.

Do you want me to answer that question? It's a long list of running and defunct companies and a lot of text rants... 

Let's just say Eidos and Bethesda have their fair share of good stuff...
