Blizzard Employment

Like I said before ALL their games are the same, all to do with strategy games, so no they don't have a wide range. I would rather work on a game like counter-strike, or grand theft auto.

Ok all the GTA games are exactly the same. Three and vice-city are different because of advancements in technology but other than that they are exactly the same. All first person shooters are almost exactly the same. So that's not a very valid arguement to me.

OMG NOT STRATEGY, THAT'S OBVIOUSLY SUCH A NARROW MARKET. Frankly, first person shooters bore me because they're all the same, WW2/War FPS are even worse, and Grand Theft Auto is a repetitive game. Also, why wouldn't Blizzard stick with Strategy games? I have yet to play a strategy game that comes close to the quality Blizzard puts out.

Oh wait, Diablo 2 is an RPG, doh?

Wow joker settle down, its just a discussion. I was just facing my opinions, I wouldn't want to work for blizzard period.

That isn't an opinion statement. Also, settle down? I was proving my point, and didn't get excited at any point while posting.

Why was it brought back up it seems like a pretty dead end conversation. You've already stated that you wouldn't work for Blizzard over and over again.

Perhaps he is alluding to your excessive use of caps in your last post? That is unnecessary and trollish.

Diablo series, starcraft "series", warcraft series, vikings. I don't know what else you'd be looking for?

What about ghost? Or was that cancelled?

There's a link on blizzard's main page to Ghost, however I've heard over and over it was cancelled. Ghost is a part of the starcraft "series" (which fully includes a game, expansion pack and half-done game).

Akamas made a stupid statement, and I responded with something just as stupid, and he seems to understand.

I thought ghost was going to be a fps though. Which was the main category missing in Blizzards games.

Oh yeah I forgot totally about the genre of it. From what I've seen it looks a little bit like (uh, that game where the lead character is snake) and Splinter Cell, but she does have a rifle and I believe you do use it.
