I would play it, but, i would just want to play SP, so i don't know how good the SP is, and doesn't the game look like...fucking ugly by now?

Actually, not really. I mean, for an 800x600 game stretched out on my 1680x1050 LCD, it actually holds up pretty well.

You can put your key in the store for a digital license and the most recent patch was nocd.

I know you are joking but that is seriously the scourge of the classic PC gamer.

I have so many discs crammed into CD wallets and binders that are useless because the corresponding key is attached to a manual or jewel case that has been demolished, forgotten, lost or left behind over the years. It's heartbreaking.

Candyflip · « **Reply #13 on:** June 28, 2008, 10:06:41 PM »

40 dollars for a 7 year old game? You can probably find keys for half that on ebay.

CajoleJuice · « **Reply #14 on:** June 28, 2008, 10:13:10 PM »

WTF, $40?

I'll stick to TQ.

Narag · « **Reply #15 on:** June 28, 2008, 10:44:06 PM »

$30 at amazon and $30 at GS/EB due to the game days sales i think.

Yes, I'm joking. But when I put CDs in binders, I put the inserts and keys in there along with them, and also put the keys in a .txt file. It's not that hard. I guess this is another way in which Steam points the way forward eh.

$40 is a bit much, I could swear I saw the Diablo II battle chest at Target for $30. I originally wanted to get the Baldur's Gate boxset that was $30 at Target but the day I went back to get it, someone had already gobbled it up.

About a year ago, I put all my CD games in a big binder and made a list of all my CD-Keys, and then put all my boxes and manuals into storage. Convenient, but if that binder ever gets stolen, I will cry for a long time.

that makes me feel a little better. where are you reading about this? I'd like to pile on Blizzard so they fix this shit.

Not even sure what would tip the game off like that...installing it on different PCs, accessing from different IPs?

BlueTsunami · « **Reply #37 on:** June 29, 2008, 12:14:38 PM »

I've read a bunch of comments in the GAF Diablo II and III threads. People doing the Digital Download thing try to use their keys and get the same error (basically, invalid keys). And yeah, I hope Blizzard rectifies this quickly. Some people don't do Offline DII which makes the product worthless if you can't connect to Battlenet.

Don Flamenco · « **Reply #38 on:** June 29, 2008, 12:40:08 PM »

I normally play offline, but thought I would give online a swing since everyone raves about it.

Actually, not really. I mean, for an 800x600 game stretched out on my 1680x1050 LCD, it actually holds up pretty well.

I've always played Barbarian, but during my solo I got bored with the nitty gritty. Now I wanna try something new, like a Necro or Assassin. I tried a little Assassin earlier, niccas didn't stand a chance against my blades.
