Re: HOW IS THERE NO THREAD ON D3's RELEASE DATE?


I might get it but I'm not into dungeon crawls. I liked D2 due to plot and that I could play as a necromancer. Though I'd rather have hacked gear as most of the fights to me were just muck I had to slog through for the next bit of content/discovery. Never really bothered with PvP or co-op but I did have two outfitmates who were really into it. I also really liked collecting sets for some reason. Probably has something to do with my completionist mindset.

Re: HOW IS THERE NO THREAD ON D3's RELEASE DATE?


For me, Diablo 2 was all about having fun with my friends. Played D2 with my neighbors a lot.
(than in 2004 I was told about EQ2, my first taste of MMO, and I seen what could be done when it is an MMO opposed to whatever Diablo2 was called, and never went back. PLUS Diablo is totally infested with SPAM BOTS AND HACKERS)

(it came out in 2000, was pretty young back than)
Kept in touch with them on facebook and plan to play a little D3.
so for me it's not so much as "YAY Diablo 3 is coming out!" as it is more like "YAY I can relive a part of my gaming history!"

Was a little peeved that there will be no LAN/single player this time around. Used to love playing my old copy of D2-LOD solo on my laptop if I had to leave town. but I guess now with smartphones I could tether and play anything

So I am a bit excited about D3 but it is not going to be my main game.
Plus I don't really trust Activision/blizzard to not totally bastardize the series.

I am a huge fan of the Diablo Series. I started playing it back when D1 first came out with my father and sister. D3 will be a must buy for me. Will all be playing it when where not playing PS2. lol.

My only annoyance is that they are releasing the game right in the middle of the frigging beta. ><

I bet if Lucas Arts said they were going to release another indiana jones action adventure game, just like Fate of Atlantis, you bitches would all be like.. screw that shit!

losers... D3 is going to be awesome, if simply because it will give me a chance to game with my NON-GAMER friends!!! (also read as console-gamer friends)

I can't tell if your disclaimer was also sarcasm.

Personally I have more interest in TL2 than D3, but I also have more interest in Grim Dawn than either of those. I loved Titan Quest, so I'm excited to see how GD turns out.

Haven't decided if I'm even going to bother with D3 yet, but playing around with the character planner has sure been fun.

Re: HOW IS THERE NO THREAD ON D3's RELEASE DATE?


Phantasy Star Online 2 is the same sort of concept as Diablo, and will be much better than D3 imo.

I pose this question to all: is the top-down, click-here-to-move, style of Diablo still relevant in today's gaming world? Is it still fun when considering what else is out there? Can it hold your interest? I want to know what you guys think.

Its going to depend on if the third one can live up to the second one.

I still play it.

Yes. Why wouldn't it? You could ask the same for driving games, first-person shooters or platform games.

So long as a genre keeps up with the times, there's no reason it should stop being fun. Hell, just look at Legend of Grimrock...That's a type of game that hasn't been seen for a long, long time, yet they're still fun if they're made to today's standards.

Re: HOW IS THERE NO THREAD ON D3's RELEASE DATE?


I wasn't excited for D3 at first. Diablo is always synonymous with repetition, grinding and more repetition. It's fun for awhile, but after so much time it finally starts to get dull.


However, after seeing a few gameplay videos, it could prove to be a nice distraction at least for awhile up until PS2 comes out. There's a few concerns I have about the game though.


1. The low level cap/longevity of the game.

Max level is only 60 in the game, which seems low compared to the previous 99 max level in D2. Of course, this all depends on how large the XP values are. If level 60 in D3 is equivalent to 99 in D2 then I wouldn't mind it too much. But that doesn't seem to be the case.

Sounds like a lot of the games longevity is based around in game content and Inferno mode (the new hardest difficulty). To me that sounds like getting 60 won't take that long to get, since you're supposed to be spending the majority of your time trying to get the best loot from Inferno.

Of course, we'll have to wait and see exactly how long it takes to get 60. My point is I just don't want to get the game, get 60 in a week then roll a new character. I never had a 99 in D2, or played that much of it to be honest, but I know that 99 represented commitment to the game since it took a long time to get.

Sounds to me like the end game content is just getting 60, then getting the best gear from Inferno.....Then what? I guess roll a new toon. Again, it all depends on how long it takes to get your gear and how long it takes to get 60. Inferno is supposedly brutally difficult, so hopefully it will take many, many moons.

2. No more assigning skill points or attributes.

This one has been discussed to death and addressed by Blizzard, but I still think the removal of that system kills a lot of customization you could've potentially had.

No longer can you pick how much of a certain stat you want, instead it's just automatically given to you as you level up.

Their reasoning behind the removal however was that a lot of people would find out an uber build, then everyone would do that, so in the end everyone is running around with the same builds. Which is lame, admittedly. But I think it's also lame not being able to assign what you want. Another wait and see thing I guess.

People say that's made up for with the new rune stones that let you customize specific abilities and spells, which does seem pretty cool, but there's only so many variations you can do. Being able to assign skill and attribute points on top of the rune stone system would've be an amazing level of customization.


3. No PvP at launch.

This one I could really give less of a shit about, but I'm more confused at why they chose not to ship it at launch. Considering how PvP is not the main focus of the game and they won't be balancing it for the game. Even if the system they had was complete shit, they might as well of shipped it with the game to appease the people who want to do some PvP for fun until they updated it to what they considered shipping quality.


4. The WoW/Casual community.


I don't consider myself and uber pro gamer or anything like that, but I'd definitely say I'm more hardcore than most other gamers. I put in many hours and I'm generally above average in most games being played. That said, I worry the "lesser skilled" players might find the game too difficult coming from a WoW/casual gaming background.

Companies always make comprises to appease the casual crowd. At considering a large number of sales are going to be from players who purchased a years worth of WoW subscription to get the game for, it's fair number of the WoW community will be playing and giving their two cents on the information.

And yes, I consider WoW players to be the scum of the earth, lowest common denominator of "gamers". Sorry if anyone here plays WoW, but I just can't really consider anything in the game to be skill based. Any accomplishment in that game is just an investment of time.



But anyways back to the main point, I just hope the company doesn't give in and make comprises (whatever they may be, lowering the difficulty etc.) because the majority of their playerbase are more casual players. I want the game to be hard as shit and kick your ass all the time so only the most hardcore of players can be successful within the game.

I don't know...Just my two cents on the game. A few complaints that are highly speculative here and there, guess I'll have to wait 'til Tuesday to find out if my suspicions are true or false.

Also, if anyone wants to form a group and play together let me know, I wouldn't mind playing with some PSU folk.
