Gods of War or D2 could be considered a theme parc as you'll …
Better game, more options, better polished for the vast majority of paying subscribers.
The others tried and and still try and they don't come close. It's not even a question of inches but miles.
Rest is forum talk of whiners. You can whine 30.0…
So silly these arguments.... who else would want to run around in the same unwashed pants the last 4 years.
