Ironically enough, most games feature long range weapons that have an effective range well below that of a real world shotgun; when I go bird hunting or clay shooting, I’m firing at targets more than fifty or sixty feet away.

If you mean the identity of the victim, I don’t think it’s an issue. The reveal is only like a page later, so you’re not losing much, and the panel in the cave shows they’re willing to show things up front that were hinted at in the story.

I think the only thing I don’t like about this is Lestrade himself. He was always described, if I recall, as a small ratlike man.

The Vigilante 8 games were part of the Interstate series, weren’t they? I loved Second Offense.

Bulbasaur is Bestasaur, and cube Bulbasaur is clearly Best Bulbasaur.

No joke: that’s not too far off from the plot of the original Fallout 3, which was set in a Florida overrun with aggressive carnivorous plantlife.

Here’s a couple of things I dearly wish I’d known my first time through:

I liked Dillon’s Rolling Western quite a bit (never played the sequel), but the touchscreen controls to spin him up kind of grated on me. I genuinely got worried I was going to damage my 3DS screen!

For what it’s worth, Amazon’s preselling the Steam version, though they don’t offer the Prime 20% discount for digital games.

Well that’s certainly good then. I bowed out of D2 pretty quickly after launch and haven’t been paying too much attention to it. All I hear is the bad stuff.

I’d be shocked if it weren’t for the fact that Court of Oryx and Archon’s Forge did the exact same thing.

Tuna Noodle Casserole is my vote - my mom used to make it for dinner all the time, and while I loved it, there’s definitely room for improvement.

On the other hand, I still haven’t played LttP and I thought LBW was delightful.

If you bought it for PC, it should be linked to your Battle.net account. All you’ll need to do in that case is redownload it. If not, Blizzcon’s right around the corner, and I’d be surprised if there aren’t a few sales to mark the occasion.

Oh yeah. Don’t get me wrong, I played and enjoyed Vanilla D3 well enough, but post-RoS is night and day. It’s genuinely inspiring to see a company recover from such a rough start. Hopefully there’ll be some Diablo news at this years Blizzcon!

One thing to keep in mind is that some of the improvements will require a Reaper of Souls purchase. I don’t remember exactly what’s RoS-exclusive and what isn’t, but at the very least the Crusader and Adventure Mode are, and they’re absolutely worth the price.

It’s definitely still grindy - that’s just an inherent part of the genre - but (I think) it’s a better grind.

If you thought the core gameplay was fine but didn’t like either the AH or the ‘play the campaign four times on different difficulties’ gameplay loop, yeah you absolutely should. The AH is long gone, drop rates were hugely boosted (in a good way), balance is much better, difficulty levels are much more granular and…

Vanilla D3 was rough, and I say that as someone who played Vanilla D3 a lot. But while Blizzard DRASTICALLY improved it, for a lot of people the damage was done to their opinion of it.

As I understand it, Blizzard and Activision operate largely independently of each other.
