Bigfoot Posted June 28, 2008 Posted June 28, 2008 Best thing to wake up to after 2 hours of sleep. Quote

Malaki-LEGEND.sys Posted June 28, 2008 Posted June 28, 2008 I think the entire internet just had an orgasm. Also fuck, now I HAVE to build a new PC. Starcraft 2 was tempting enough, but now DIABLO III!? Well played, Blizzard. Well played... I seriously think WoW was just the money maker so Blizzard could totally DOMINATE with the return of two of their best series ever. Now they just need to make a next-gen Lost Vikings game and we're all set. ...Of course we know that chances are we won't be seeing this OR Starcraft being released until Winter 2012... Quote
Dunnowhathuh Posted June 28, 2008 Posted June 28, 2008 The new health orb system seems like a quicker way to die. I guess that's what they intended though with their intention of making the battles the central focus. I like what they came up with to fix the whoever doesn't lag when a boss dies gets the item problem. No doubt every D2 player has clicked like fucking crazy when the items drop at least once in their lives. Quote
Barnsalot Posted June 28, 2008 Posted June 28, 2008 Hopefully production is pretty far along since they're able to give us that much gameplay footage. I don't know if I can wait very long for this without going mad. Quote
The wingless Posted June 28, 2008 Posted June 28, 2008 All I have to say is: Stay awhile and listen! Quote
Triad Orion Posted June 28, 2008 Posted June 28, 2008 DO WANT. LIKE RIGHT NOW. Also, maybe I *will* stay awhile and listen. If Deckard Cain's still in this game, hot damn, it'll be fun. He's been my favorite NPC since the original. EDIT: HA! He's on the gameplay video. Quote
TheHands Posted June 28, 2008 Posted June 28, 2008 My pants are now soiled with glee. Blizzard must reimburse me for them. Quote
Equinox Posted June 28, 2008 Posted June 28, 2008 Gameplay video was amazing. I will enter a deep sleep and wake up only when this game comes out. Quote
Dhsu Posted June 28, 2008 Posted June 28, 2008 Yeah I'm almost done with Lord of Destruction and it's a good game but I'm not seeing the big brouhaha. Quote
Sindra Posted June 28, 2008 Posted June 28, 2008 So um, what's the big deal? Seriously? Diablo was always basically the darker, grittier version of Warcraft, only with a better story and they were doing WoW-style gameplay long before WoW came along. Diablo 2 was simply that much better, and garnered a following not unlike WoW though on a smaller scale. It's been 8 years since Diablo 2 came out, so you can imagine the anticipation fans had about not knowing whether or not another sequel would ever come about. Quote
DarkeSword Posted June 28, 2008 Posted June 28, 2008 Seriously? Yeah, seriously; I mean I've never played any of the Diablo games. Diablo was always basically the darker, grittier version of Warcraft, only with a better story and they were doing WoW-style gameplay long before WoW came along. Diablo 2 was simply that much better, and garnered a following not unlike WoW though on a smaller scale.It's been 8 years since Diablo 2 came out, so you can imagine the anticipation fans had about not knowing whether or not another sequel would ever come about. So is it like an action-RPG or a point-n-click-RPG? My problem with Blizzard is that they make games that look amazing, sound amazing, and are just amazingly put together, but they are simply not the types of games that I usually enjoy playing (MMO and RTS). Maybe Diablo III is the way to go? :\ Quote
Dhsu Posted June 28, 2008 Posted June 28, 2008 It's a hack-n-slash type thing, except with cooler equipment, items, and spells. Pretty much defined the genre really. Also has randomly generated maps to keep things interesting. Quote
The Coop Posted June 28, 2008 Posted June 28, 2008 Well... it's about fucking time. We all knew a third game was needed after the ending in Lord of Destruction, but it sure did take a while for it to even be announced. This makes me a happy little camper. Now to wait the additional three years it'll likely be before it gets released So is it like an action-RPG or a point-n-click-RPG? Both. You use your mouse cursor to move your character, and pick which enemy to hack on (and pretty much everything else). There are no turn-based fights, as it's all real-time, and there are copious amounts of enemies to defeat. Basically imagine Baldur's gate: Dark Alliance for gameplay (only many more enemies on-screen), but you're using a mouse instead of a controller to do everything. It's point and click, meets hack 'n slash, meets action-RPG. Quote
