Playing like that really captures the vibe of the first Gears trailer and the new one, shooting the shit out of people while getting overwhelmed with music.

Got it on saturday :) have all the beta/gears1/2 unlocked I should have gotten, well maybe not that the one for beating gears 2 I'll see about that. Best Gears campaign to date :)

Yeh well Torchlight and co. just can't touch Diablo 3, like not at all. None of those other "clones" or genre buddies have actually improved upon Diablo 2. I mean most actually look absolutely pale in comparison to that game still to this date. And now you got Diablo 3 which you know, has actually a lot stuff changed from its prequel. There are just so many improvements such as the Health Globe system instead of potion spamming crap (@ Torchlight1/2, Path of Exile). Also this game got atmosphere, a proper story, great cinematics, overall more content, better randomization, actual diverse classes that have more differences than some plain stats and skills, male and female version of those, very smooth combat, the right "oomph" to it etc. pp. I could go on for ages but let's just say I'm glad the waiting time is over and the H'n'S King is back. Now all those other Diablo-like game devs need to actually create a good hype instead of feeding of that ARPG/ isometric H'n'S hype that's up since the announcement of Diablo 3.

You do know Runic Games (makers of Torchlight) were previously Blizzard North? And there lead developer is Max Schaefer the person who also made Diablo 1, 2 and LoD? Most key people over at Runic came from Blizzard North, including the person who did the music. Therefor calling Torchlight just a 'clone' seems a bit harsh. This new team seems to be a scrambled couple of old PC RPG veterans, while maybe a better choice for the Diablo 3 production, they aren't the Hack and Slash kings you claim them to be.

So, now we know what the second mod for Skyrim on the PC will be (first one is of course the naked mod)

Probably just the LIVE servers that suck. I've had a lot of problems simply logging into my account.

Also, a friend of mine experienced the same thing you did but in an hour-long mission, so you're not alone.

Aren't all 'Games For Windows Servers'' Peer to peer?

If this was a Starcraft 2 thread, this would be so funny ;D

I kind of just see it as an donation. Giantbomb is one of those sites I visit everyday and love to support. Also I have been digging through loads of the subscriber only content and really enjoying it.

Good thing I still use AdBlocker ;D

Game didn't look finished, so good on them.

As always, really great article Patrick!
