Normally I might check it out, seeing as Diablo has a history and all. But I'm gonna be a bit busy with another public beta...

After 6 hours of playing in the Open beta, I can safely say; Love it!

I had some doubts about all the changes as an outsider, but after getting my hands on the game, I still feel the Diablo lure in Diablo 3. Getting equipment is still alluring and most of the abilities are incredibly fun to use. The big packs of monster are also quite exciting to fight as you have to duck and dodge around when you're level appropriate.

I think I'll stick with Torchlight if I want to play a Diablo Game.
While I appreciate the "fuck Diablo 3" sentiment present with the people saying they'd rather play Torchlight, I have to turn your attention at another game.

Path of Exile. [http://www.pathofexile.com/] It's [going to be] free, too.

Oh wow, thanks for bringing this to my attention. I'm definitely looking forward to that now.
Is there some other video I should be watching? I checked out the Templar trailer...it kinda looks bad. It's pretty, but it seems slow moving and clunky.

The skill tree [http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/] in that game makes me want to throw up.
...
And I played Final Fantasy X.

I wouldn't dismiss it out of hand, as someone who plays in the beta, i say it's worthy to stand beside Diablo 3 and Torchlight 2.

My only question about this game is, will the dungeons actually be different from each other throughout the game? So far it seems all the dungeons except the cave in the beta all look exactly the same, with the same hallways and rooms just rearranged in a different order. I never played the other Diablo games or games similar to it so I really don't know what to except but will their actually be different looking areas or just the same dungeon look just rearranged and randomized with harder mobs and bosses?

That's how it is pretty much, and has always been. Same dungeons, rearranged everytime.

That's actually wrong. Some dungeons don't show up on every playthrough, the same with some enemies or events.
He asked about dungeon layouts and looks, not if they show up or not.

Via the pubclub here I donated a beta key to my friend for his birthday a while back. I have no interest in the game myself but I thought I'd flout the superiority of being a premium member mention it.

The always online requirement popping up more and more frequently these days is really getting annoying. I dunno if they changed their stance on it but EA said the new Simcity title would be always online singleplayer as well. Oh Maxis, I miss you being independent and hilarious.

I hope the game's more stable after I pay munnies for it. I had some lag problems and my PC's pretty damn god.
My friend had issues with lag too and his computer is almost brand new.

Never got into Diablo, tbh, but I've heard a lot of hype and good reception from it, so I might try the beta just to see if I should pick up Diablo 3 when it comes out.

Always nice for public betas to be released to virtually everyone. ^_^

Hi there welcome to The Escapist.

Just FYI if you don't try and have proper spelling, grammar, and punctuation, people tend not to take what you have to say seriously. So if you want people to read and respect what you say I suggest making more of an effort to make what you say readable.
