What? Just because publishers are doing an anti-consumer thing and may not stop we shouldn't complain? Wtf? That's stupid. If you want to just take it, fine. I appreciate Joe for fighting the good fight even if it's a lost cause.
I can never figure out why we're so pro-corporation. People now are arguing for MTX because game prices are static, as if if they raised the price of games to $69.99 or $79.99 they wouldn't keep doing MTX and DLC.
. It's weird.
The "flaws" you pointed out aren't real. D2 apparently
has shit AI so they make up for it in waves. They didn't START with waves and tossed good AI, because nobody would do that.
And no, like Joe I was quite hopeful D2 would be a superior game that fixed all the flaws. I hoped it would deserve a 9 when all was said and done. If anything I left disappointed when I learned they hadn't improved nearly enough given they had 3 years and hella budget and leeway given they're one of the most well-known and financially successful games this gen.
