Don't get me wrong D4 is getting better but it sucks that all the people who bought the game ended up paying to be beta testers for 12 months in everything but name.

Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened. Blizzard games were some of the greatest of all time and those memories will never leave us. Been playing their games since Lost Vikings on SNES and Warcraft 2 and it's hard to understate the quality of life Blizzard games had compared to the jankyness most PC games had in the1990s, playing multiplayer flawlessly on dial up modem was huge. The personal story about your journey to change your life for the better was really heartfelt, could feel your struggle and need for change. Honestly these modern service games are just cynical money making machines, they are not primarily designed for fun. Indie games are our future, our hope.

I played a lot of Warcraft 3 Reign of Chaos and Frozen Throne when I was in high school with a lot of my friends. The custom games were some of the funnest mini games. I remember bringing my laptop that wasn't even a gaming laptop, but my dad's spare work laptop to my friends playing helms deep, kodo tag, tower defense, hero seige, and many other custom games. Then WoW came out, and the same thing I brought that laptop to many friends' houses to play WoW. Playing WoW for the very first time with everyone else who was new to the game was probably one of the funnest times I had personally with any video game. Such good times. I remember that laptop getting so hot and thought it was going to overheat or explode from WoW.

Fun fact, you can drag select in Warcraft Orcs and Humans! You just have to hold Ctrl while doing it! Though it was limited to only 4 units lol. This was a great nostolgiac trip! I was 5 years old when Orcs and Humans came out, my cousin played it and my brother and I would watch. A few years later when my family got a PC, my older brother and I got the Battle Chest with WC1 and WC2+Expansion. Have been a Blizzard fan ever since, played Starcraft, Diablo, and way too much WoW even up until recently with the official hardcore servers. These days i don't really play their games anymore, Diablo 4 just didn't hold my attention like past Diablo games and every WoW Expansion I have played recently I play for a few weeks and then eventually get bored. It's been a good run, but I've accepted that no company can stay at the top forever and continue to raise the bar for themselves, especially with how much they've released over the years.

Couldn't stop watching. Fantastic editing, great humor, and tons of awesome info. This is Blizzard quality content.

I do miss the experience of going to a game store to buy a physical game in a box. Before you even install the game, you’ve got this sense of epic wonder regarding what the contents will be.

You know, despite knowing Blizzard used to be called Silicone & Synapse, I never realised that it was the same company whenever I played Rock N Roll Racing. Probably makes me a little silly but I genuinely never put 2 and 2 together. Edit: Genuinely can’t wait to hear your thoughts on Snake Eater

They better have Blackthorne back in some form or another, like say, as a new character in Overwatch 2. Fact: Starcraft's John Raynor is inspired by the 90s Jason Patric movie, Rush. Heck, it can be argued that Kerrigan's story arc is inspired by that movie.

You missed a perfect opportunity to mention in regards to Overwatch and WC3 refunded about the destruction of video games and shout out the stop killing games initiative to try and defend our right to own the games we purchased.

You absolutely didn't get what "The Lost Vikings" is about. It's a puzzle platformer with a big emphasis on "puzzle", and it gets quite complex later on the game. And it's really good.
@Drake50173 ай бұрын
@InsidiousOne I'm very sad he glossed over The Lost Vikings. He shoulda done Norse by Norsewest even if it's just worse Lost Vikings 2. The only game I can think of that tries to be this kind of puzzler is Trine.

Yeah, it was so much fun as a kid, I loved it. but.. not the first world or two, which is what he said, mostly walking. I guess he gave up after an hour, which is understandable when you have such a massive undertaking to accomplish.

I still play Heroes of the Storm weekly. It is hands down my favorite game I own. Even after I unlocked all the heroes, I gave Blizz $60 because I play it so much. Also, that Overwatch transition. 🤣
