Itagaki...i expected more from you.

I wish it was futuristic because thats how I prefer my shooters, but another shooter?
Well I cant complain on that considering its not another military war shooter.

The whole Grindhouse-modern realistic-kill bill stuff isnt my type.

But I am willing to wait and see much more, especially if I see more of the hack and slash part, even if its little, Itagaki is a master of doing this.

hmmm. i'm getting some major "wet" vibes. which isnt a good thing AT ALL. i'm not a fan of itagaki in anyway due to the games he's responsible for. seems this new game isnt going to change that much.

Agreed. That clunky faux-Tarantino nonsense is NOT the kind of comparison you want to draw. Like Wet, it'll depend on how good the combat and controls are.

Also, he's no business talking about Dead or Alive and epic masterpieces right next to each other. XD

What's up?

GriftGFX the first couple of difficulties (19 minutes ago)
GriftGFX It's not completely unenjoyable, but it's not the return of the king either. There's no way I'd have paid full price for it, but since someone gifted it to me for my bday I'm certainly going to play (19 minutes ago)
JMadden @Moonwalker: Well, yes, like Ivan, but I meant more like the decision whether to do the Deal or do Revenge, or when you chose which McReary brother to kill. (20 minutes ago)
GriftGFX MTYF would be able to appreciate what Diablo 3 is and isn't more if he wasn't so stubborn about not playing the beta. He would be over his disappointment by now maybe. (20 minutes ago)
IRAIPT0IR @ManThatYouFear: Diablo 3 is good, what are you talking about? (36 minutes ago)
Moonwalker No what i meant was that i waited so long for it, i ain't giving up on it. And these reviews are a good sign, but i will know for sure when i play it for myself. (44 minutes ago)
ManThatYouFear @Moonwalker: just cause you waited dont mean its going to be any good, shit i waited for diablo 3.. (51 minutes ago)
