I can confirm the Diablo 3 pricing error is real. Said $60 at the shelf, rung up for 17.

Dang, all of the Walmart's around me either didn't carry Diablo 3, or were sold out.

Another thing that is bad about not supporting the controller is this scenario:

You are playing the game docked and end a session by sleeping the console. You've decided to play something else, so you pick up your pro controller and wake the system. Since the game is still the active app and it does not recognize the pro controller, you can't use the home button to get to the menu to close the game/open something else. Mario Party does this nonsense too, but it is compounded with pokemon let's go if you are using the pokeball controller since that doesn't have a home button, meaning you must detach the joycons or undock your switch just to play a different game. :psyduck:

have you considered pushing home before putting the system to sleep or are you starring in an infomercial

I'm just having a hard time imagining them just allowing undiscounted stock go nationwide for more than 2/3 off when they know that kind of info is gonna spread like crazy. Or maybe we've moved into viral black friday sales, poo poo i dunno :psyduck:

So I caved into peer pressure and bought Odyssey. I have some notes:

1. It is cool
2. Do I really have to shake my whole Nintendo Switch Entertainment System when playing in handheld mode to do different cool moves?
3. Uncle amiibo is asking me for amiibo. Help.

My guess is someone is gonna have a REAL bad day at corporate on Monday because I could understand knocking off like 10 bucks or something but D3 just came out on Switch and it wasn't even like a doorbuster or a way to get people in for their sales at 6pm. If it was at my store I could've been in and out in like 5 minutes tops, my walmart was pretty dead.

A while back someone was bitching about Capra Demon, and from my years old memory I was like "oh he's not bad at all, just cheese the dogs blah blah" but now that I'm playing again goddamn he really does suck rear end. Wtf were they thinking with such a terrible boss.

Don't worry guys I had to drive kind of far but I got a $17 copy of Diablo 3 :)
Now I can see if this franchise is any good, even though my understanding of it currently is that its a Nethack ripoff where you find progressively better pairs of pants.

I got the Capra demon on my second go, but I was using the zweihander. You can kill the first doggo as it charges at you, dodge and run across, get the other doggo and then its a lot less complicated. God help you if you can't kill them in a single swing with whatever you're rocking

There's no better way to target a specific legendary in Diablo other than upgrading a rare item of the same weapon type right? Which requires a ton of Death's Breath? That you can't even get in Greater Rifts?

my method's always been that the dude's got bad knees and takes forever to recover from falling off the little platform so I bait him to follow me off it and deal with the dogs/beat on him. you need to break through the Dog Line first though which is easier said than done

The REAL objective is to kill the two dogs first.

Once their dead it's a matter of running up the stairs, having him follow, jumping down from the stairs, and striking him when he jumps down back to the ground. If you ever feel the pressure, repeat this.

Yeah it's how annoying it is to get around them that is wrecking me. It feels like a 50/50 shot to get a clearing to run around them. That and I don't remember the camera being so terrible in this little room. I pretty much got him on my fourth try and the camera went all bonkers. I'll probably get him in another try or 2 but drat he's annoying as hell.

I'm starring in an infomercial where sometimes I think my next session is going to be the same game, and then it is not, and I am minorly inconvenienced in a way that is not a big deal, but it's certainly not unfair to say that if I can wake the system with an incompatible controller for the game that is running, then I should be able to somehow get to the home menu from there.

you can turn off motion controls and there's only one or two moons you need to switch 'em back on to get. by and large game is completely fine without them

I remember Diablo on PC had one of the worst launches of all time. Online only, aand many people couldnt even play single player. Then the auction house system made it pay to win, and some were paying hundreds for items. And it had far less content. Buggy as hell.

I mainly got Diablo 3 when it came out because I got a new job in a new city and figured I would just spend a ton of time grinding gear for cash. I think i ended up selling an axe for $24 and nothing else. gently caress the cash auction house.

Don't forget that the game intentionally lowered drops for gear your class can actually use to force you into using the auction house.

I accidentally sold a ring for 2 dollars that I meant to put up for twenty. It was basically the only piece of loot I found worth a poo poo in like a month and a half of playing.

Meanwhile one of my guildies in wow built a nice for the time computer off his profits with some change left over.

I was intrigued at the time by it but boy am I glad that poo poo is gone. It's so much better now.

Tons of goons made thousands of dollars off the RMAH. It was basically a golden ticket to anyone with forums access.

Called a Walmart here in Canada just to see, Diablo 3 is scanning at $79.96 CAD like usual. No pricing error up here it seems.
