Diablo III Beta Rises from Hell This Summer

[-Samurai-]

I'm still worried that Diablo 3 will have too much WoW in it. The new crafting system has me extremely worried.

nice, although i'm not that excited about D3. It doesn't seem like a diablo game more than a generic (albeit probably fun) dark fantasy action game.

Isn't that the genre that Diablo pretty much invented, though? So isn't that pretty much exactly what Diablo 3 should be?

Yes and no. Diablo pretty much DID invent the genre BUT in its latest instalment it has (to me) lost a lot of the charm and flavour of the previous two titles. Will it be a fun game? Im sure of it. Will it feel like a diablo game? Im not so sure about that.

to anyone complaining about no LAN...seriously, it's not 2001 anymore.

While on that topic, damn I'm pissed that they got rid of Direct Connection and IPX.

Most pirated game/demo of the year?

DO WANT.

I think I already applied for a place on this a while back, but then so did hundreds of thousands of other gamers, so you know...

Still, if I did get on it, that would be friggin' amazing.

*Sigh* Another day, another game that's been in development hell for years is almost here. Oh well, at least it's almost done.

I hope they let me join the beta this time without me having to pre-order it... I mean, I would pre-order it anyway, but it doesn't give much time to play. Only a few weeks.

I would sacrifice Lord Inglip to Lord Diablo to get into the beta... WAIT I TAKE THAT BA

 

[Atmos Duality]

Well that's somewhat reassuring. I think I am just bitter about LAN being phased out by the industry. I have so many fond memories...

I too, miss not having to jump through hoops just to play at home or with my friends.
Bnet 2.0 is the #1 one reason I stopped playing Starcraft 2 so quickly.
