Diablo 3...Should I get it?

[jetpickering]

Something I also wanted to know is whether or not there will be a subscription fee? Because that would be a game breaker for me if there was one.

Now this I can objectively answer.

No there will not.

Im sold then.

I'd say no, purely on the basis that Blizzard is a bunch of sodomites that crushed my hopes and dreams when they declared "We want you to pay 3 times for Star Craft II! Why? Because we fucking know you will you sheeple."

 

[Fappy]

I thought the beta was laggy, boring and the class paths looked maddeningly restrictive.

Yes.

Torchlight 2 is coming out in June/July and is 20 bucks....

and if you pre-order on steam you get the first one free...

Which is still great..

So stick with Torchlight 1/2 and Diablo 2.

YES!

I'd so no, purely on the basis that Blizzard is a bunch of sodomites that crushed my hopes and dreams when they declared "We want you to pay 3 times for Star Craft II! Why? Because we fucking know you will you sheeple."

I am on the Torchlight bandwagon >.>

Diablo 3...Should I get it?

That is for you to decide.

Personally, the need for permanent internet connection is a no deal for me.

Dungeon Crawling games are something I play when I don't have an internet connection.

I mean, what is Blizzard and Activision afraid of?

People cheating in the friggin' SINGLE PLAYER MODE?

And before anyone says it's an anti-piracy method, Steam does DRM better seeing as it has a functional offline mode.

No, it's because of the real money auction house. If they made the game available offline, people could easily find a way to hack in items and make tons of money.

Well golly gee-willickers! Maybe Blizzard shouldn't be a bunch of fuck-bastards by making a Real Money Auction House! Ohhhhhhh that's right, Blizzard is run by people that make EA seem charitable and not at all prone to ripping off their fanbase.

Seriously, back when I used to play WoW, I started feeling like the game was becoming more of a job than a source of entertainment. Log on, do dailies, faf about, rinse and repeat until it's raid not, put in at least 4 hours of concentration and focus only to have the 1 item you need NOT drop, then wait till next week.

Now they're officially making Diablo 3 into a job. How many people are going to spend hours and hours grinding away for teh phat lewtz so they can sell'em on the AH? The world is full of pitiful losers, my friends, and Blizzard knows this.

I'd recommend you wait and play League of Legends (as it is free to play) and same style of game.

Diablo as a series is widely considered to be the best that the genre has to offer and is highly recommended.

If you're remotely interested in the gameplay offered by League of Legends, or have had experience with Torchlight series, you'll probably love Diablo 3.

I wouldn't compare LoL to Diablo really. Both are controlled by mouse sure. That's about it.

I'm huge fan of Diablo series, and hate LoL above all.

Well, I'm picking it up. What ever doubts I had were sufficiently snuffed out when I got to play the open beta that weekend.

 

[Aircross]

No, it's because of the real money auction house. If they made the game available offline, people could easily find a way to hack in items and make tons of money.

So in short, they created their own problem due to Activision wanting to exploit people who spend REAL money on VIRTUAL stuff, and they "fix" this problem by requiring always-on internet for single player mode.

Yes but only because if I'm going to suffer from it then I rather not suffer alone (misery loves company)!
I'm only getting the game so I can co-op with my mate (a hardcore fan) since the intially the alway online thing put me off in the first place.

 

[MysticToast]

I have one word why you should get it:

TYRAEL!

 

[hermes]

Try torchlight. All the mayor online stores has demos on it...

That should give you an idea of what to expect.

Yeah that's called WoW.
of course not friend. They might as well just make it an MMO if they did.

It's an anti-hack system.

If you can develop a system that works in single player (maphack), you can with relative ease do it online.

And if your account gets banned on B.Net, you can still play single-player.

This way, if you try to develop/test a hack online, you get a ban on your Battle.net account.
