Blizzard on Diablo III: "Lower your expectations"

[MOnk]

Nostalgia makes you blind, deaf and stupid. Its the reason Episode I - III of Star Wars sucked, its the reason the 4th Indiana Jones sucked. Its the reason we will never get the Transformer's movie we want

Those movies weren't bad because of nostalgia they were just bad or at least mediocre. I watched the original Star Wars trilogy for the first time ever a few months before EP I was released so I had zero nostalgia there and the fourth Indiana Jones movie was just terrible beyond believe it's not even worth discussing.

It's one thing when a game doesn't live up to unreasonable expectations (like childhood memories etc).

It's another thing entirely when a game doesn't live up to expectations because of decisions made by the developers (like removing single-player and LAN from D3).

Still your expectation. Its their IP they can do with it what they want. If they feel, after testing, case study, market research, meta-data from D2, that the game would be better without those features its their decision. Your expectation of the game to come out the way YOU expect it to come out means it will never make you happy. If you, like me doesn't care that those features have been omitted then, unless the game is a steaming pile of shit, it will be enjoyable.

Oh I agree as I huge Star Wars Fan the Ep I - III wasn't bad it was just mediocre. Similarly I enjoyed Indiana Jones 4 but its no where near Raiders or Temple.

I just couldn't stand the 30min CG jungle scene and the stupid aliens.

Lol! Yeah the Jungle and the Inter Dimensional Beings didn't kinda go wayyyyy out there. But it was stil enjoyable. Could have been worse, could have been Dark of the Mood bad.
