    i cant believe i will say this, but i am sooooooooooooo dont give a flying poo about it. if i would have said this date before xmas i would cream my pants.
    I just so burned out of diablo 3. it takes them so much time that i dont have any excitement left over. i will still pick it up on may 15, but i am not counting days an hours now. i will just go pick it up like any other game.

    Ridiculously early game announcements are the worst thing ever. Diablo 3 was first announced in June 2008 ffs.

    indeed. 4 years in now. all my hype fizzelled out back in 2011 :D.

    i was expecting it for xmas or after xmas. was saving up my holidays so i could take few weeks off and enjoy some diablo 3. now i wont even take day off and most likely pick up my copy of diablo after work etc.

    i am saying this now, but who knows what will happen 1 week untill launch, i might be like a little girl in candy store again :D.

    It's Diablo one of the most called for sequels of all time. I Remember exactly when I first heard the news and im delighted they announced it when they did.

    It's been a long wait but i'm confident it will be worth it!

    What I don't get is the crazy amount of WoW players who never played 1 or 2 getting hyped up about this just because it's blizzard. Boggles the mind really, its a game that is heavily focused on its story and lore and plays nothing like an mmo. :confused:

    That is well spoted. I loved the QQ of wow players when they started Starcraft 2. They were like: wtf is this?! I need to think and stuff here :)

    On the other side it will be easyer for them to play diablo 3 as it's I loot whore game, same as wow.

    I never get CEs as they are usually never worth the asking price but i'm going to have to make the exception here. I still have D2 and Lod in there original rediculously large boxes so the CE will sit nicely beside em. That's my excuse anyway! :pac:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,447 ✭✭✭richymcdermott


    This be my first diablo title , what sort of game is t like , from youtube looks similar to lara croft and the guardian of light

    i think that blizzards collectors editions are the only ones that are awesome and not stupidly overpriced for what you get.

    It's a click intensive combat game based on gathering **** tons if loot. Youtube Path of Exile or Torchlight for some of the most recent implementations.

    i newer though that we will live in time where we will need to discribe diablo 3 as Torchlight :eek: . i think i am really getting old now :(

    No subscription, you buy it, and its free from there on, barring expansions or dlc which i have no doubt they'll keep pumping into it.

    Whereas I don't want to hear about a game until 1 month before release. Doesn't matter whether it's Half Life: Ep. 3 or Kiss Pinball 2. Doesn't benefit me to know about a game 2+ years before I can play it.

    2 questions

    1.How will this game compare to Dark Souls and Skyrim?

    2.Will I need a powerful computer to play it?

    1. Has nothing to do with both of those games. It is a hack and slash with very very deep itemisation.

    2. What's your spec?

    Boards-Games, how you've changed....


    Pick up the Diablo 2 and see what you think, still very playable today.

    I am honestly can't believe so many people have no idea about Diablo 3... Makes me feel very very old. Back in the day everyone knew what is Diablo :(

    This is.my first diablo title.too :-)


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,779 ✭✭✭Spunge


    definitely worth playing D2 for a bit before D3. One of the most addictive rpgs ever.

    1.It would be akin to Dark Souls in item loot and that is about it.
