Diablo III

[The Observer]

I'm surprised there isn't a topic about this already, or at least a recent one. The last ones I found were from years back, so I'm going to go ahead and make a new topic.

 

New Launch trailer:

 

 

Does anyone have the beta? I applied, but I haven't received anything yet.

[Randox]

This is the first game I can ever remember being excited for. I've been waiting for this one for years. If they are doing a beta now, I guess that means it's finally getting close to release.

[sohkmj1]

I couldn't get into the beta (at least I probably won't able to be). I'll probably buy this despite not delving into Diablo that much. I love the game, but I'm complete garbage at it (I could not, for the life of me, beat the desert dungeon with a level 18 Necromancer).

[Ieyfura]

I should probably get my dusty copy of Diablo 2 out of my closet and refresh myself with the Diablo universe. Trailer was well done, although it kind of leaves you guessing as to what's going on. I mean, yes it's obvious demons are attacking, but for those who either haven't given Diablo 2 much play time, or are new to the series, nothing much to get from it story-wise.

[Randox]

Yeah, you have a better idea of what is going on if you have beat the expansion to Diablo 2. I suppose in defence of the trailer though, there are very few humans who would have ever known what happened, and since this seems to be transpiring a goodly time after the events of Diablo 2, your actions in previous games are probably already becoming mere legends. Who knows.

I don't have the expansion, only the original version. If I end up loving Diablo II as I remember from 8 years ago, then I'll pick up the expansion. lol

[Bows]

I want a damn release date. I've been waiting for years.

[Furah]

I pre-ordered this game after an extremely convincing argument from my friend.

[unkn0wnwarrior]

I've been waiting for this game since they announced it. If the previous 2 are any indication, it should be amazing. I didn't pre-order it, though. I'll just wait a bit longer to buy it when it does come out (I think I heard 2012 Q1? That could change anyway).

[sarg1010]

I pre-ordered this game after an extremely convincing argument from my friend.

Was the argument "Hey, you should go pre-order Diablo III, since it's Diablo III"? That's the only argument someone needs :grin:

That's what I was thinking. "It's Diablo III" is really all you should need to say. This should be one heck of a game release.

[JeremyM]

Aww man, Cain's dead? No point in playing now!

Nah, it was "I was online the other day, and I saw you could pre-order Diablo III." I then went and pre-ordered the collector's edition without knowing what it came with since the store we were in at the time didn't have any promo posters.

[Crocefisso]

If Jagex knew that Blizzard was being discussed on these forums, they'd probably remove Tip.It's gold status. :-D

[hide=Spoilers... sort of]

Class Selection

 

 

Barbarian Gameplay

[Th3_Crusader]

I've been looking forward to this game for a whole decade. I don't know though. It reminds me of the game Gauntlet.

[meb]

I really hope I can run it. And if I can run it I have to not buy it until after my exams in january.

 

 

Which class are you all going to play? I dislike melee classes in a game like this but I still can't decide between wizard, DH and WD. Leaning towards wizard though, I like the resource system. I hate mana.

DIABLO III LAUNCHES ON MAY FIFTEENTH. HERE WE GO.

[Skully]

I'm not gonna get my hopes up, it'll probably just be pushed back again.

[Azvareth]

I'm not gonna get my hopes up, it'll probably just be pushed back again.

 

Nah, not when Blizz releases a definite date like this. It's happening. It seems like the thing that's held it back a lot is them trying to balance the PvP stuff, but now that they've decided cut out that part from the release (it'll be added in a later patch) they can focus on just fine-tuning everything else which, at this point, is pretty much done.

 

I've been playing the beta, and while I don't like how they've dumbed it down in order to appeal to a wider audience/console players, I'm still preordering the shit out of this. Playing Diablo 2 with my friends back in the day is one of my fondest gaming memories.

Weren't all the older "release dates" definite though? Idk I haven't really kept up with it much. I really loved Diablo 2 but this has just taken so long I can't keep a major interest in it, i'll still get it, but I can't say i'm overly excited. How did you get the beta though?

I don't think they've released a specific date like this before though, just "oh, sometime next quarter"; at most sort of speculating on a month. Also like I said, two weeks ago they said they'd skip the PvP stuff on release, citing it'll speed things up considerably.

 

I applied for the beta and was picked.

Hmm, on play.com it did have an actual date named for March a while back.

Oh yes, game retailers love to do that, I guess in an attempt to gradually amp up the amount of pre-orders or something. But when a date is released by the very company that is actually making the game it usually tends to hold a slightly higher degree of legitimacy.
