When it come to their existing Warcraft, Diablo and Starcraft franchises... no.

I am a tiny-bit interested in finding out what Titan is, but only because I would *hope* they are smarter than they seem (lately) and would make a product that is so divergent from WoW that it would be impossible to compete with it. Thusly, it might be up my alley - though, that might be giving them way too much credit at this point.

It's getting harder and harder to want to but I've never had a problem with customer service which would be my main issue. The games are necessarliy bad, but they arent heading in a direction I really like.

I would buy another Blizzard MMO, but only if they deviate from the typical MMO formula.  Since I expect the likelihood of that to be approaching zero, I picked absolutely not.

I can't stand people who think that because they don't like something, or believe they are above it, that it must be bad.

 

Take your opinion and swallow it, it's yours alone, not everyones (especially not the majority of the MMO genre's.)

 

Also, whats wrong with McDonalds, it's so nice (as is WoW.)

 

 

On topic - Of course I will buy another Blizzard product. They're the only company actually able (so far) to release a MMO without game breaking bugs etc (every WoW expansion.) Also all of their games are at least good, if not excellent (Diablo being just good, Vanilla WoW being excellent.)

That's funny because i'm a casual gamer, on of the majority of gamers, and i agree with him completely. They did mess up the mmo genre because now just about every company is trying to emulate them. Hopefully GW2, TSW, Wushu, Neverwinter and the like will break the mold and prevent this mistake from being made in the future of mmo games ever again. 

but whats to say that those games you pointed out wont do the same thing?

WoW only fault was being a good game that appeal to most MMO gamers. So future MMO built from there.

if GW2 became as popular, than whats to stop MMO developers making lots of GW2 like MMO? wouldnt you get tired of that as well after 8+ years of GW2 like MMO, since you complain about the same situation with WoW?

This, basically.

It really all depends on whether they make any interesting games in the future.  I wouldn't be surprised if they did, and I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't.

Not in a million years.   I still have Facebook friends who say Diablo 3 is not buy-to-win though, so I guess opinions vary.  It only takes one b2w game for a company to be a total failture IMO though, and D3 is that game and more. 

Edit:  It really boggles my mind when I see people claiming "server instability at launch" as Diablo 3's big flaw.  No, the big flaw is that all paths point to the RMT auction house, and it's one big boiling frog experiment for the future of their company.  What is a boiling frog experiment?  Biologists say that you can put a frog in a pot of hot water, and slowly raise the temperature.  If done gradually enough, the frog will stay in the water until it boils and the frog dies. 

I buy games that I find fun. I don't make a point of seeing who made it.

Yea.  But only Diablo titles.

Starcraft is dead to me. 

Starcraft 2 sucks ass, and is the biggest scam of the century.   I'm not paying full price for 1/3 of a game.

Anyhow.

I honestly feel like the only guy in the universe who's actually 'enjoying' Diablo 3 and having fun.

As long as it isn't another disasterous Diablo title then I am ok. They know Warcraft and Starcraft but that is about it so far.

There is no entry for my option which is: Blizz went from being a day one purchase to now being a wait til reviews/free trials possible purchase.

I am not a Blizzard fan, but Blizzard has the most outstanding gamehistory of any developer out there, All blizzard games had the level of awesome epicness.

 

Sad thing is the server problems in Diablo, but other then that, they still have a straight A record.

 

Or did the real innovative people leave Blizzard over the years?

Haha funny how you only mention the server problems in Diablo. The release of WoW was alot worse man..

 Look at it like this, considering that I could take a level 30 character in GW2 and go to a level 10 zone and still get good dynamic content, rewards/exp/and challenge, then one would get an insane amount of replayabilty, thats literally more pve content than any game out there.  Not only that, It comes with an entire world ment for the sole purpose of WvW pvp, and a structured pvp system for tournaments.  GW2 focuses on fun and skill progression, WoW focuses on endless gear grind and no customization, I have no idea how anyone finds that fun anymore and theres no comparison of the two.   

Blizzard hasn't wronged me so my answer to your question is 'Yes, I will continue to give Blizzard my money in exchange for their wonderful games.'

I won't buy a blizzard game as readily as before. Slow content development, slow patches, and weak QA. Compared to other companies, they're being left in the dust. 

I was worried about Blizzard at points during WoW's life cycle, but since they did such a tremendously good job with StarCraft 2 and now Diablo 3, my faith's been restored.

I may even give WoW a chance again now that they're at long last making Pandarens playable.

Will I ever buy another Blizzard game?  Only every single one they release from now until the end of time.  I always know I'm going to get a quality game from them.  Some are better than others, but they always keep me interested for a good amount of time.

Riiight because D3 has so much quality and content. Now if you are talking about the cinematics yeah those are quality but everything else about D3 was a complete let down especially for those who played D2.

It actually does.  I played D2 and I love D3.  I know you spend most of your free time on D3 threads trashing the game, but it doesn't mean you are right about it.  

Yeah i am right, unfortunately, it is a mere shadow of what D2 was. I stopped playing it when i got to inferno and they A: reduced the useful drops to almost never B: activated the RMAH and then everyone required RM for purchases and C: didn't add the much needed content boost they claimed they would put in shortly after launch. That's why i'm here. That and GW2 isn't out yet :)

I would totally believe you if you weren't completely talking out of your ass. You've obviously not actually played the game for any good amount of time at all.

Reduced useful drops? They actually increased them.

Required RM for purchases? There is still an up and thriving gold AH you can use where you can find a boatload of gear. And you don't even need that since they've increased yellow drops on bosses and made inferno easier.

Content boost? What "content" boost are you talking about? In all likelyhood they are working on an expansion while they tweak the game now.

The only things they've nerfed is stuff people were exploiting and botting for gold farming.

Really? Weak QA? There is coined term in the industry it's "Blizzard Polish" look it up somtime. From what I've seen blizzard has less game breaking bugs than any company I've seen.

Diablo 3 "Buy-to-win"??

Against who? What for? Win what?

It is not Battlefield 3. It is not League of Legends. It is not a pvp game, you are NOT required to compete against anyone or get left behind or get ganked and laugh at.

Therefore I find your notion of Diablo 3 as "Buy-to-win" as being quite funny and lacking logic.

Diablo 3 is nothing more than a single player time grinder game with an engine that can allow you to play with other people easier. You can grind just fine with whatever you looted/crafted by yourself.

Since WoW I haven't bought any of their games. They used to make games that I found fun like D2 and Starcraft but not anymore.

Titan has me mildly interested.
