Funny that many of the same people complaining about Mass Effect 3 are complaining about Blizzard "never releasing" games. Well, Blizzard doesn't rush games, even if it pisses people like you off, and for good reason. You know all those complaints you have about ME3? That's what happens when you run out of time and only give yourself a set-date to release a sequel. They delayed it what, 3 months? That's not a lot of time and probably had to do with balancing/tweaking the multiplayer. We know it wasn't spent fixing the face-import bug, or re-writing/expanding the ending in a satisfactory manner.

So yes. Blizzard takes a lot of time between games. I for one am glad for it and wish Bioware took another six months, or even a year, to fix Mass Effect 3. The whole Earth sequence could have been epic...but it just fell flat and led to Starchild. Where were the hard decisions? The friends who give their lives to give you a chance? The ability to command my war assets and see them in action? What was the Normandy up to?

Oh another company joking about other company? Big deal.

You guys ever notice how Blizzard never releases paid DLC? All of their stuff is considered "patches", instead. I guess MAYBE that's why they have such a loyal fanbase who sticks with them through the years. Heck, I've waited for Diablo 3 for 10 years...10 YEARS, god@#$%it!!!

Maybe Bioware should take a hint...

It's really kind of funny everyone criticizing Blizzard for taking so long to develop a game, and we all know they're the same ones who would rather Bioware have taken more time to fix mass effect over this...

[Rafe34]

LOL!

Beautiful, Blizzard, just beautiful.

Nice going Blizzard, I almost started to reconsider buying your games again.

Yes, let's get upset over a simple April Fool's joke.

I am not upset. The joke was pretty decent.

Really? You seem pretty upset...

[Wikkr]

i guess you could call the expansions DLC but i see yer point Daosx. Least they dont steal their endings from other games. I was pleasently surprised by the little dig blizz put into their april fools bit this year. Goes to show that even the big dawgs are paying attention.

Ive pretty much lost all faith in bioware but im hopeing this cluster f$*k teaches other games devs to not break all the promises they made during development and try a stupid 'artistic' deus ex style ending for their new games.

So why did I pay 15 dollar a month for 2 years then?

[XRelakX]

You got to admit WoW being an mmorpg has a ton of playability, hell I know people with hundreds of days played.

WoW? Or because you've been doing it wrong. If you've been paying 15 dollars a month for not WoW, lolu, and if it was for WoW, it was an MMORPG, lolu if you didn't expect monthly payment for servers

Diablo 3 not sucking is a safer bet than any other game that came out or is coming out this year. I love Mass Effect, but I guarantee people will be playing diablo 3 much longer and it won't have retarded things wrong with it.

[Desteron]

lol ouch thats funny xD

[Narayan23]

I love blizzard but i wish they would wake a new proper warcraft game

[Flextt]

Discredit Bioware, biggest competitor on MMO market == Win

[spychi]

BioWare should point out their greediness and **** quality

Why do people keep listing Diablo 3's long development time as a bad thing? Isn't one of the main reasons Biowares games have been failing lately (Dragon Age 2, Mass Effect 3's ending) the fact that they are rushed?

I personally am glad that at least one games company still spends a long time getting their games right, rather than throwing them out as soon as possible. It's a lesson Bioware/EA need to learn.

This, Blizzard is great but I think WoW wasn't the best thing for the Warcraft franchise. ( sad thing is I play WoW ) Only
reason I play the game is because I pretty much grew up with the company and plus I still have family and friends playing so it's nice to play with them since I don't get to see them all to often. They may screw things up ( SC:Ghost  ) 
but I still like what they did with SC  and Diablo franchises.

[zephyr2025]

Oh you guys supporting Blizzard haven't realized what they did with Starcraft 2. There's so many problems with that game it's turned me off from playing any Blizzard games. Blizzard and Bioware are on my short list of gaming companies to be weary of.

[Jarcander]

Blizzard love thread?

I suppose they are "fine" but damn if they don't take their sweet time with game development. Diablo 3 looked pretty finished 2 years ago, but I suppose they needed to "balance" the game and work on the auction house. Only game worth my time from them is their Starcraft franchise.

How can Blizzard make fun of people who release games? They rarely do.

ps: If it was up to Blizzard, we would be playing ME3 by 2022.

I'd take practically flawless games (like Starcraft 2 and Diablo 3) every 4-5 years over unfinished schlock like Dragon Age 2. I think Blizzard's earned the right to poke fun at just about anyone.

Uhh.. ok I prob shouldn't be doing this, but calling SC2 a practically flawless game?

Here's a post on Team Liquid about all the problems with the game just on the UI side:
http://www.teamliqui...topic_id=308482 

Blizzard even responded to these criticisms, which is one of the funniest/saddest things I've ever read.. they're going to allow us to resize chat windows!
http://us.battle.net...wder_-3_12_2012 

This doesn't even touch on the huge balance issues in the game, which some people are trying to fix by changing maps
http://www.teamliqui...topic_id=321242 
Though changing the maps like that thread suggests still won't fix the other game/balance designs issues.

On top of all that, Blizzard doesn't even really support the competitive esports scene, which is pretty much plateaued now. Compare that to how much the League of Legends developers are supporting the game and you can see why LoL has been getting much better numbers.

EDIT: And there's no LAN, which pretty much has killed the potential for SC2 to get big in China. And don't try to argue about why games shouldn't have LAN, Valve has said Dota 2 will have LAN.
