Good game though, not great, but good, and quite a lot of fun. Extremely buggy, however. :( But, rumor has it a patch isn't too far away, assuming they didn't take a lesson from Lionhead. =/ I’ve never played Diablo either…took me a while to get used to the top-down camera (especially during co-op).

I just youtube it. Looks pretty good, thoough it sounds a bit buggy. 4 players online and 2 offline sounds great. How'd this game fly under my radar? Nevermind. I just youtube it.

That's good, right? I’ve heard people compare this to Diablo. That’s good, right?

As for the pausing thing, the only way to truly pause it is likely to hit the PS button in the middle of the controller to bring up the XMB. On the 360 version, the only way to really pause it is to hit the menu button, so I assume its similar functionality. I dislike this as much as the next guy, but that's the way it is. The quests are all tracked on your mini map and large world map. Main quest targets are in color (orange, I think), and all others are grey-ish. Although, sometimes it buggy for me in that one minute it will show the target, and the next it will not show at all, or either show the previous step in the chain, which you've already completed. Besides the buginess, I found the quest tracking fairly easy to handle once I figured everything out. If its not showing correctly, try making it the current quest in your quest log (even if it already says it is), and that should fix things and update the maps to show the correct next quest target. Its still rather clunky having to open up the large map to figure out where you need to go every time you turn around. Overall, I'm actually enjoying the game and the graphics are pretty darn good. There's nothing major wrong with it, but all these little issues do add up.
