I’m currently playing Diablo IV (and having a blast with it) but finding one small gripe which I only think is going to get worse and probably stop me playing it completely in the long run.

My girlfriend is currently pregnant. This means in 6 months time we’ll have a newborn. With this in mind I’m expecting to only be able to grab a few minutes at a time to game and even when I think I’ll have longer I may end up jumping off at short notice. This means I’ll almost certainly come to rely on games which I can pause. Unfortunately this isn’t possible with Diablo IV since it requires an always online connection even though I’m essentially playing it as a single player game.

What are other people’s thoughts?

    Man, I miss the days of offline multiplayer. Split-screens, one person hogging WASD and the other the arrow keys.

    Shit, I’m old.

      Not that old, I remember those days too. I used to play Descent with my friend by being the “missle specialist” and he would be the pilot. We had the right side of the keyboard mapped to the secondary weapons and he would control the primaries. Wait, fuck, I am old.
