    I never understood people saying this, the story was always key to the diablo games. It has more story and lore than 99% of games out there, with spin off books available.

    I know it's not exactly a story driven RPG like mass effect etc. but the diablo narrative and FMV story telling is a massive part of the series now.
    All quite true but in the context of someone debating whether to pick up D3 now or play the older games first I think it's fair to say the story isn't so important that they should hold off.

    Totally new to the DIABLO series but my god I cant wait to get this in the morning....Some where will have the vanilla game. Looking for €85-90 for the CE but if I could get it tomorrow I would pay it :eek:

    Hmmm, how different is the style of play from BF3 guys!!!! :D:D

    Deffo, need to get a sticky up of players names etc.....roll on the good times!

    Un-employment FINALLY has a plus side.:cool:

    Downloaded and Installed.

    Eagerly waiting for the off at 11pm tonight. I stayed away from the Beta because I didn't want to ruin my experience of the game and I'm glad I did.

    Diablo2 was one of my favourite games. Even though some of the guys I played the old one with all those years ago have moved on....I'm sure I'll enjoy the new one just as much. :)

    Oh most definitely, as I noted earlier you would of course advise someone not to play the likes of Mass Effect 3 without playing 1+2 but it's not the same with Diablo.

    Only 2.5 hours to go, gonna watch GoT to pass the time. (Can't believe I just said that :p)

    Never played any of the Diablo games, any reason I should consider this without playing any of the other games?

    You are not a true gamer until you have played both Diablo 1 & II for at least 500 hours.

    Saying that, it is not strictly required to play them to enjoy D3...but some of the references may be lost to you.

    And you have to know what unique or green item droped without even indentifying it. Do Mephistopheles runs in less then 4 minutes.

    You can do both, solo or play with friends, randoms.

    Similar but different, D3 is an action RPG, the story wont be nearly as long as BG. But once you've played through D3, there are a billion other reasons to keep playing it besides the story.

    Just got an email from Amazon.co.uk about my order.
    Dispatched via An Post (estimated arrival date: Thursday, May 17, 2012).
    Wasn't expecting it till Friday or Saturday so if it comes Thursday I'll be pleasantly surprised. Not gonna get my hopes up though, plenty of other stuff to entertain me till the doom of what remains of my social life arrives.

    I have €79 in my bank account to last me until the end of the month.. :o Its a struggle to save up money coz of money I am on!

    Plus I don't think its worth upgrading my laptop.. seems like throwing money into a inevitable disaster!!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,042 ✭✭✭Groinshot


    I'm downloaded too, but debating heading to a midnight launch to see can I pick up a CE tonight. Still haven't got a code, but I can always jsut buy off blizzard.. Would really like the CE....

    If you have a monitor, you can buy a very good rig for about 500 that will run Diablo3 beautifully. If you have spare hard drives, dvd drives, etc you can push that to about 400. put away 30 quid a week and in 3 or 4 months you have enough. :)

    Ah laptops aren't the best to upgrade

    Not impossible to hawk around and find a very cheap core2duo desktop + 2nd hand graphics card for 150 quid, just a thought.
