That's way too much effort.....

My rig for launch will be a laptop with a cup of tea and a packet of biscuits on the table next to it....

and a share size bottle of coke for when the tea goes cold because you're just not paying enough to attention to those pesky real world things when you're playing your heart out on hardcore!

There's no room on that desk for junk food, so he'll be losing time going back and forth to the fridge.

Kudos for the effort, but it's a little OTT alright. Just play the damn game!

I'm torn about whether to get this on launch or not. Still have to get through Batman: Arkham City and a full playthrough of ME3 again before playing something else. That and win a PL title with Liverpool in FM2012. I can do that all in 11 days, right?

Dont waste your time mate

They patched the game last month as there seemed to be a bug wher Liverpool were being displayed in the top half of the premiership.

The fix just blue screens the game when you are just about to hit 9th

TBH I think their stories are ****e.

Not why I play them. It's a testament to the quality of their games that I hold them in the highest regard of any game developer.

I've seen my 12 point lead evaporate to 5 in a handful of games. Stop jinxing it man.

F*ck it, I'm going to get this when it comes out. What's the point of having money and time if you can't enjoy them...

To be fair the Diablo story and lore is very good for such a high fantasy setting and combined with their excellent use of FMV it makes for a very satisfying experience.

Granted it doesn't have the depth or emotional attachment you get from the likes of Mass Effect but it hits the right tones and keeps things moving quickly which suits the style of the game perfectly imo. There's also a tonne of lore and history there outside of the games if you want to know more about Sanctuary, the Sin War and the main Angels and Demons involved.

Blizzard's lore and stories are brilliant imo. Although i haven't really played Starcraft (I have heard the lore behind it is great as well), both Diablo and the Warcraft series have always been full of depth lore wise. Even World of Warcraft endgame was awesome in terms of story telling... at least for an MMO.

In Diablo your character is a nameless observer that doesn't really interact with the story much other than in a very shallow way. That's more of a design choice than a weakness and not really what I was talking about.

In the more involving stories of the SC and WC series (haven't played WoW) the lack of quality of the writing is fairly apparent.

It's May 5th 2013. You are almost a year late. Looks like you over-hibernated.

What? So PvP is out and the game has been patched 14 times and is now perfect?

YAY!
