"Easy Mode" Ruins Diablo III Forever (Again)

Marc "DjinniMan" Allie October 01st, 2008 at 6:41 PM

Well, Blizzard has done it again folks.  Another new "feature" of Diablo III has been revealed, and if you thought the rainbows and unicorns were bad, you'll hate this.  A checkpoint system will likely be put into place, which means no more totally fun and enjoyable (in a masochistic way) trips with no gear back to retrieve your corpse.  BLIZZARD!  Throw us a bone here!  There is no greater feeling than dying repeatedly to the same monsters over and over, with a long walk in the nude in between each death.  And what about the challenge?  Defeating enemies without any of that overrated gear weighing you down is a nice change of pace. 

In the tradition of other famous fan edits, we've gone ahead and created our own rendering of Diablo III above.  This time, it's not what we want the game to be, but what we fear it will turn out be like.  Rainbows, Care Bears, and EZ MODE.  You heard it here first, folks.  I'm trying to get an internet petition ready, because I know that's the single best way to make our voices heard.  We like our Diablo dark, shady, and mind-numbingly difficult and/or boring, thank you very much!

*shakes head* Marc, are you setting more troll traps?

Completely got the style wrong. Fixed it for you.

Funny, I thought WoW was like this compared to EQ. People complaining of having to run back as an invisible ghost, made me laugh at least.

Eh, I kinda support the decision. Pissed me off to no end to have to run back to get my body and then have to re-equip all my potions to my belt only to be getting squashed by Hell Diablo while I click away. I'm sure they'll make it awesome, it's diablo, it's blizzard.

I think they should enable a choice for the gamer in things like this. Options are always best; those that want the hardcore experience can disable the checkpoints, those that want a mellower experience can enable them.

I'm paying for the game; throw me a bone and let me make a choice as to how to play it!

Can we skip the retarded personal bias and just report the story?

Uh oh - here we go again.

It's Satire dude.

Looks like we have another one.
IGN or Kotaku?
 
DjinniMan at 09:03 AM on 10.6.2008
Clearly, I am slipping. It took until page 2 and post 11 for the trolls to show up.

Here I go again...

Except that you were never on your own. We got your back.

if it's like the 360 version, I think you can make a custom game mode with infinite respawns.

No you CAN play it by yourself, but the FUN is playing WITH others not AGAINST others.
