No. If I left the squad leader alive, than only he should still be behind the lines.
this sounds more like an issues where you fear change and look back on the past with rose colored glasses and ignore all the horrible mechanics that existed in some older games that have been removed or improved in newer games.

Pretty much.

I used to think that PS2 was 'dumbed down', until I replayed PS1 and realised its so painfully dated.

That's what people are saying in the Diablo 3 forums, "Rose colored glasses."

Let's see what the user reviews are at now: http://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/di...i/user-reviews 3.9? Wow that's horrible.

I'd like to see SONY pull a Diablo off with a no purchase, free to play game.

The graphics are dated, not gameplay mechanics.

Signed, A very angry person who just bought the dumbed down Diablo 3.
Oh come on at least give them a PENNY for attempting a remake on a very unsuccessful prequel.

Clearly we're all way too smart for video games.

And yet it was the fastest selling computer game in history, remains as one of the most watched games on streaming sites like twitch, and those people who bitch on metacritic still log on every day to play the game they supposedly hate.

Try again.

The graphics are affecting your judgement, no offense.

Only because of the Diablo name. If it had been named anything else it would have been a huge fiscal failure.

And user reviews are the only thing to trust, not professional reviews that only look at graphics.

I haven't played that in a couple years actually. It's funny you suggested that, I was tempted to redownload it, since Stronghold made me want to play it.

IPs like star wars and final fantasy are huge names with huge fan bases and that didnt stop their games from failing.

Also metacritic reviews are lawl.

Fact remains diablo 3 was very successful. The only people pissed are the guys who want a diablo 2 clone with better graphics. Such will be the same in planetside 2. Those who want a PS1 clone will undoubtedly be disappointed.

This has nothing to do with "dumbing down" but more of "wah it was not like the last game that came out 10 years ago!"

What is the point of this thread again? Is it about PS2 or is it about gaming evolution in general?

*shakes head*

If you enjoy modern FPS so much, why aren't you playing one right now? 2 new ones are already out. COD and BF3. Did you like them?
