Diablo2 Sorta Gone Gold
by Steve Gibson, Jun 05, 2000 6:17pm PDTI've gotten a few seperate reports in that the US version of Diablo2 has gone gold. Blizzard however is looking to do a worldwide simultaneous release (much like Quake3 did) and the international versions are still being worked out. It should be within a couple of weeks though is what I've been told via Blizzard. This is certainly not an official statement from Blizzard but it is on a pretty good source. (Two of them, no less). Also a couple of more RPG'ish bits for you guys: Icewind Dale screenshots , Technomage screenshots. (Thanks Blues)

Do they do that to try and cut down on the game being pirated?
Also Diablo 2 is a mindless click fest.

So much disinformation posted on this board, it's sad.
To attack a monster, if you choose the melee route you don't spam click them. You click them once and hold it down, and you'll attack at your fastest rate possible until they're dead.
Spells? Hotkeys available to bind a skill (yes, no more books that you can find so your level 49 warrior can also cast a level 18 firebolt) to either left or right click, then you click ONCE anywhere on the screen to shoot it. Hold down shift and you can fire without selecting a target.
Argh, so much more to it.. Just pisses me off when reading thru the total SHIT that is being posted about the game when people haven't even played it. Check out the depth for starters at: http://www.diabloii.net/characters/

The game starts off good. The train ride was kinda boring, but I'll let that slide. Running around the complex was kinda cool. A little different then being dropped right into the action like in previous games.
I'll have to say the entire first half of the game is good up until that part where you ride around in that maze using those little trains. That part was annoying. And I did'nt care for that entire coolant thing at the end where I had to turn on all those pumps.
All those Xen levels were totally ridiculous. Too hard. I hated those maps.
All the parts where you were running around in the complex and all the outdoors parts were really cool. There should have been more outdoor areas.
I'd like to play a custom version of the single player game. It would be shorter and more enjoyable.
I would cut out the long train ride at the begining or make it a lot shorter.
I would remove that part where you have to turn on the fuel, oxygen and one other thing to fry that damn tenticle. That tunnel underneath it was cool though.
I would take out that entire maze part with the trains.
I would take out that entire pumping station thing at the end.
I would take out that DAMN part with that little tower with 20 warps in it that warp you around and make you keep going in circles because it's so frustrating.
I would take out all the Xen levels.
Then I would have a nice little game that I could play through in one afternoon.
There were some really, really cool parts in Half Life. I wish there were more of them.
I remember a few battles with the marines and all those outdoor areas. Remember that huge cliff?
I played the OEM version of Half Life before it came out. That little piece of the game was GREAT. That version was totally fun. That large outdoors battle at the end was just great. I wish the entire game would have been made up of the elements found in the OEM version.
(For those of you who did'nt play the OEM version, it was like the first 1/4'th of the game. From the train ride all the way to that part where you right that elevator up and you have that large battle with the marines and they have that large helecopter/airplane thing flying around and they are hitting the building with artillery or mortars.)
That giant 2 legged thing with a huge swinging nut was just dumb. I hated fighting that squeling noisy thing.
And that big baby floating around at the end?? I hated that.
The game should have had a much better ending.
I can remember endings on old Super NES and Genesis games that were much better.
Did anyone here ever see the ending to Super Castlevania on the SNES?
It might not be so cool today, but I remember it being neat back then. Way back when ever that was. What, about 10 years ago?

By far the most thought provoking rap work done yet.
Even if you hate rap, you MUST listen to this. *snicker*
This could possibly be Maarten rapping.

If you've never played Tribes or you don't own the full version, and you want to play it, download the demo.
It has like 4 maps and you can play it online. There are about 20 - 30 servers and they are all full 24 hours a day.
