[QUOTE="mmu1, post: 39125, member: 319"] Well, now... I have no idea what the precise reason Blizzard makes decent games is - talented staff, I suppose - but I doubt it's because they take so damn long. (if that was a deciding factor, Pool of Radiance 2 would have been one of the best RPG's every made) The development time between, for example, Warcarft and Warcraft 2 was much shorter then between any other two games they've released AFTER they started to get serious name recognition. They take so long because they can afford to, now... And conisdering that of all their games, none have been technologically or conceptually innovative, they really do take shamefully long. What was the dev time between Diablo and Diablo 2 again? Not that, like I said, they don't make pretty good games once in a while... But best? They'd have to stop doing the same game over and over... Hell, Warcraft III was changed to make it more like their previous RTS games after a lot of noise about how revolutionary it would be, just to play it safe. [/QUOTE]
