    Immersive... :P

    Realism in objects was a part of Diablo. If they really take that out... i dont know.
    An adjective is not an argument. Try again.

    Realism never left Diablo. Look at the walkthrough. Wait for the zoom on the barbarian, you'll see he's very photorealistic. He's not cartoony or anything. You're arguing for monotony. By saying that Diablo is much darker than this upcoming sequel, and that that is realistic, you are saying the world is dark and monotonous. Good job.

    What do shoulder pads have to do with ANYTHING?! Barbarians are big guys. It's totally reasonable for big guys to have big shoulder pads. End of story.

    and any one with brain and eyes(even one eye) will notice that diablo3 veered from the franchise in many aspects like :GRAPHICS,GAME MECHANICS


    Of course there was a change in graphics, they went form 2D to 3D, you dumb shit. The artistic style is similar though. I can't agree with you in the slightest about the game mechanics. What's changed? We have orbs now? I don't understand how that's bad. And how exactly is the inventory bad?

    AND PLEASE DONT REPEAT THAT BLIZZARD FOLKS IS TRUSTWORTHY AND KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING
    THEY ARE NOT ANGELS OR FROM HEAVENS THEY ARE PEOPLE LIKE YOU SO THEY NEED TO ASK FANS
    AND KNOW WHAT THEY WANT FROM THE GAME (((AND THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO PEOPLES
    WHO REPEAT THIS CRAP YOU ARE NOT THEIR LAWYERS
    )))


    I guess that would make you the prosecutor in this analogy because you're attack Blizzard for simply using color. They aren't angels, but they are video game moguls. Every single game from their three franchises has gone gold. Scratch that, platinum.

    Ok, so you got a different address.

    Now give me some exclusive titles besides Final Fantasy 49 and Metal Gear Solid 27.



    And yes, we know, Nintendo has to fix the Wii's library. Xbox is still a helluvalot better then the PS3.

    Which one is better is a matter of preference. But if you want to argue the overall quality of games, Gamefunk has proven that the PS3 focuses on quality titles. What you're asking me to do is irrelevant in light of the research I just showed you. But I'll humor you. By the way, you can't exclude titles from my mentioning. That's like asking me why Communism is bad, without mentioning Stalin or Ho Chi Minh.

    But fine, Versus XIII, Killzone 2, Resistance, Resistance 2, Little Big Planet, Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, God of War III, Rachet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction, Rachet & Clank: Quest for Booty. That's what I found in one minute. Probably only a few that I missed, but you see my point.

    My assistant manager has told people to "Get the hell out of my store, Sir." all the time. It's really quite funny.

    Oh, and we are making twice as much as we used to three months ago.


    EDIT!!! My manager called my assistant a "BASTARD" before in the middle of the store. And we make 2 grand a day. For a small store, thats pretty good....

    Edit again. No, I'm not telling anyone where I work. You fuckers would end up breaking in and stealing shit...
    I make a hundred a night as a food runner at some Japanese restaurant. But after football season, I'll be a waiter and I'll make 200. Rolling in the dough son. Honda 600 CBR here I come.

    By the way, are you saying that the profits you reel in a day are $2000 or are you saying that you, personally, make $2000 a day?

    He also likes to quote wikipedia in an attempt to prove his point, but if he had actually gone to college he would understand that wikipedia is a bad source for ANYTHING because if so many people agree the moon is made of cheese, the entry says the moon is made of cheese. If he spent actually two minutes in google instead of quoting a wikipedia entry, he may actually have something intelligent to post one day.
    Correction, if he had actually gone to any form of school in which classes might assign research papers. I'd say around a middle school education is what he/she might be lacking.

    Ever heard of GameRankings? It's an aggregated rating site. That means major game reviewing sources that rate the game are included. That means the most fair and balanced review possible. The only thing that PS3 fanboy did was post the article up for PS3 fanboys to revel in.

    Here's the original article. http://gamefunk.net/?p=57

    It's fair and balanced. It accounts for ALL games released on all three consoles, not just good ones. And the fact that I found it on PS3 Fanboy is moot because they themselves did not do the survey.

    hey i dont recommened a ps3 they have crapy games and that it is overpriced for what it is so go with the 360 for games i used to play ps2 as well and i said i would never get an xbox but i did and eventually i got used to the controllers as well so go with the xbox over the playstaion

    You couldn't be more wrong.

    http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/05/01/ps3-software-has-leading-percentage-of-good-games/

    The PS3 is a very legitimate console. Although I own a 360 for monetary reasons and for the fact that I'm waiting for Killzone 2 and FF Versus XIII.

    I like to buy games. Renting doesn't give me the same feeling. Not to mention that with something like GameFly, I'd have to wait a few days just to play a different game when I might feel like playing a certain game at a certain point in time.

    You are blindly trusting Blizzard and taking everything they are offering to you.

    Gamers gotta fight to get the best of games, not accept everything that game devs throw in front of them.

    I don't see how graphics break the game. Especially this game. Blizzard made a good case to justify their decision. Monotony is boring. And those photoshopped images are a testament to that. Besides, I don't see a reason not to trust Blizzard. All the games of their three franchises are best-sellers and have earned numerous awards and praise from the masses. Not only that, but I have personally played each one and I have been thoroughly satisfied with each. You're just knit-picking where no knits need to be picked.

    wind waker used cell shading... diablo 3 looks like it uses cell shading.. dont know what is look it up. thats what gives the cartoony appearance.

    No, this is cell shading.


    Watch a D3 video. No bold outlines on the models. They don't resemble cartoon characters in the slightest. In fact, watch the developer walkthrough and when he zooms in on the barbarian, it's extremely photorealistic. You could not be more wrong.

    I never liked Robin anyways. I'm pretty damned sure Two-Face is dead.

    By the way, I'd just like to take this moment to say that this movie was ridiculously badass.

    I wait for an answer. Why dont you show me some scientifically and practiacally backed up article on the effectiveness of the methods you mention, Archie? Or muttonchops.

    Whereever i look i see 1-5 = strength, 6-12 = hypertrophy


    You dismiss the importance of hypertrophy. Also, you can do 8-12 reps without gaining unnecessary mass. It's called running. Also, your articles don't say that the nervous system is the only basis for strength. And it would be stupid to say it is. That's basically like saying you don't need muscle, as long as you can feel. All those olympic weight lifters focus on being able to lift a massive amount of weight in one go. The hypertrophic range offers strength and endurance.

    The nervous system and muscular system are important in relation to each other. Therefore, I cannot give you the grounds to say that mass does not add strength. It's a matter of physics. For instance, one player on my football team. He was 6'8", 300 lbs. Big fat guy. But he could squat 600 lbs and bench 400 lbs. Needless to say, he was a lineman. And he did the same workout that I did. Also, he was about 100 lbs lighter with about half the weight lifting capability. Explain to me how hypertrophy does not contribute to strength.

    The article you quote basically does the same thing with hypertrophy that most nutrition magazines did with calories, which is to say that they're bad. If you read the links, including that muscleventures.com website, they acknowledge the importance of hypertrophy.

    You're painting with very broad strokes as far as I can tell and it's very difficult to address everything when there is so much involved with it. I just had to hand in a research paper today, so my brain is pretty much fried, but I'll address a little later.

    i think demons would have sex organs, because they're demons- evil, visceral things. Angels probably dont have sex organs, because they're just a bunch of light anyway.

    And to the dude who asked about Lilith and Inarius, isn't Lilith back in the void? she's probably not doing anything to inarius in the burning hells.

    What kind of logic is that? When I think penis, I don't think satan. Friggin' ridiculous!

    What does this have to do with reps? Of course you can do heavily weighted squats if you have the muscles on your legs to do it. I don't see the point you're trying to make about how 1-5 reps is acceptable for maximum muscle gain.

    That dude can deadlift 500, hes not even training the deadlift.


    Whoop-dee-fuckin-doo, so can I. My squat max is 535, my deadlift max is 505, benchpress 315, and my cleans max is a mere 285. Trust me, I'm a lineman. We live off lower-body workouts. And I am telling you, I train with division 1 atheletes. And we have even been told by an NFL Giants player who came from our school, David Tyree. 1-5 reps does nothing but affirm that you can lift that much weight. There isn't any progress, it just maintains what you already have. Anything over 12 reps is excessive and if you can do it, you need to move up in weight. 8-12 reps has been determined as the hypertrophic range.

    I can believe that some guy can be good at deadlift without doing deadlift. I hate deadlifts with a passion. It works many of the muscle groups that squats do. You're just moving the weight from your shoulders to your hands. As long as I do enough squats, I am still good at deadlifts. I like to keep it at squats and toe-squats. Toe-squats are ridiculously intense and your calves get a lot of definition from it.
