I am surprised, Blizzard run the largest online service dedicated to gaming, how can they fuck up this bad?

*Hand raised*

In the beta, I can't wait for a full release.

[Strike the Wolf]

Gawd, that's amazing.

[beardedwalrus]

Gawd, that's amazing.

I'll be honest. That looks awful.

[Daemon]

I'll be honest. That looks awful.

I kind of agree. I can't put my finger on it but something just looks really off.

Square Enix Registers Just Cause 4 Domain Names

Square Enix hasn't announced a Just Cause 3 or 4, but it sounds like it may be preparing some kind of sequel in the franchise.

According to Fusible.com, Square Enix has registered domain names for JustCause4.com, JustCause4.fr, JustCause4.co.uk, JustCause4.de, and JustCause4.it.

Hmm...

That's exciting, I have only played the Demo of Just Cause 2 but will definitely pick it up when I get the chance. It's quite a good game from what I have played, so I would welcome a 3 or 4 as long as they were up to the same caliber and aren't just the same game re-skinned (Given the CoD treatment).

Yeah, Just Cause 2 is great; the demo got me into it as well. I definitely recommend getting it when you can.

As for sequels, I'm alright with them. As long as they don't over-do it, like you said.

Just Cause 2 to me seemed kind of broken gameplay wise, and I didn't care much for the controls. I only bought it on Steam because a lot of people hyped it up, and I was getting more and more curious as the price dropped over time.

Just Cause 2 was neat, but it got old pretty quickly. Hopefully JC3/4 introduce a bit more variety.

Diablo III accounts hacked

Eurogamer has received multiple reports of Diablo 3 accounts being hacked.

Over the weekend Eurogamer writer Christian Donlan saw his account hacked and transferred to the control of the mysterious Anna. Her conversation with Eurogamer reviews editor Oli Welsh is documented below.

A quick glance online shows multiple reports of Diablo 3 accounts being hacked, suggesting it is a growing issue. Players have seen the loss of items stored in character inventory and stash, and gold removed as their accounts are stripped bare. Blizzard has been working to "roll back" affected characters to a point before accounts were compromised, but some progress is lost.

The reports coincided with the EU Diablo 3 servers going offline on Sunday afternoon for around four hours, preventing players from logging in (error 33). It has been suggested that the EU servers were taken offline following a SQL injection attack, but this remains unconfirmed.

Blizzard offers an Authenticator designed to provide extra security to your account. Donlan did not have the authenticator before the hack, but reports suggest accounts have been compromised even with this enabled.

One theory suggested by players on the Battle.net forum revolves around hijacking session identifiers, which would allow hackers to take over accounts without alerting Blizzard's authentication server. Again, this remains unconfirmed.

Whatever the cause, Blizzard will be keen to address the situation quickly, especially in light of the upcoming release of the real money auction house and the growing complaints from players. Blizzard said last week it was set for release at the end of the month.

Eurogamer has requested comment from Blizzard, which is yet to address the issue.

Has anyone here been affected?

[Daemon]

Jesus, Blizzard, get your shit together.

[Necromancer]

Jesus, Blizzard, get your shit together.

Yes, because someone hacking players accounts is definantly Blizzard's fault. How dare they!

[Throavium]

The fans are harping so hard on Blizzard right now.

Watch out when you use the word "Dragonborn", ZeniMax just filed a trademark for it.

Watch out when you use the word "Dragonborn", ZeniMax just filed a trademark for it.

I'm pretty sure TES wasn't the first game to use that word. Also, that's bloody stupid.
