See Diablo 3 In Action On The PlayStation 3

The fact that it isn't D2 is a massive drop in quality from D2. I'd wager good money that there is no incarnation of D3 that would've pleased the fans save for a full-on clone of D2 (maybe with the improved graphics... maybe), were it only possible to peer into other dimensions to see how other versions of D3 fared. Diablo 3 was doomed the moment it wasn't Diablo 2.Shadowsetzer said:

Man, what kind of Diablo 3 are you playing? Send me a little bit of yours because mine is just a huge gear check.

To be honest, I thought people were quite optimist with the game. I for one, had a quite low expectation and the game still managed to disappoint me, because it was even less than what was shown in previews.WhiteTigerShiro said:
Not a bad action title, but extremely weak in story, RPG elements and itemization. And I mean extreme to the point of being amateurish.
On top of that, the auction house didn't really help - it made D3 a more competent skinner box and a much less interesting game
Note to self: Never, ever discuss computers with this audience. It's a bizarrely angry topic.ThePuzzldPirate said:
Ignore him. My last gaming laptop barely broke 1000 4 years ago, and still runs everything I want to play just fine today.Earnest Cavalli said:
(My new laptop is for research and work as much as gaming, but still cost less than 1400 for an iCore7 16GB RAM, and a discrete GPU. My only regret is that Win7 is shit at managing more than 4 processors currently.)
Gaming notebooks are becoming more affordable every year.
Well if you don't want to feel ripped off then wait for the $20-30 price point, then it becomes and acceptable game.
I'll think for the long term and get it for PS4. But since there's lack of backward compatibility, I won't be getting PS4 and the game for a long long time.
Co-op with friends should be a blast though.

On a positive note, playing the game on a PS3 controller may actually be an improvement over the original games.
Dodging projectiles with mouse clicks was always a nuisance. Playing on a controller will be like having additional WASD controls (only now it'll be a left analogue stick, so even better than WASD).
The only thing that will be lost in the translation is carefully placing your ranged area of effect attacks. For the PS3 version I expect the aim will always be centred on a hostile, because moving a cursor with the right analogue would be too unwieldy. Focus selection in addition to normal dual-stick controls would probably be the optimal solution.

Agreed.DVS BSTrD said:You may not be done with it, but we certainly are
Please stop trying to push this awful game upon us.
We don't want it, no matter how much you are paid.
With all the hype of this going to be "possibly the greatest game ever because I've been waiting 10 years for it" and in spite of a lot more content than Diablo II, it still looks like a totally mediocre piece of software. It didn't help that they were too lazy to differentiate its look from WoW.Shadowsetzer said:
Yay. I finally get to play Diabblo III. None of my computers could run it, or I was installing it wrong, or something, so I have a sixty dollar box just sitting in my room. So I'm excited about this.
Release date news is a big let down though.

Really cool. I'm looking forward to this.
Hopefully there won't be more currency problems for Blizzard..

I've been a Diablo fan since '96, when I descended into the bowels of Tristram to vanquish the Lord of Terror.
I looked forward to Diablo 3 for over ten years. Years of Ba'al runs, Uber Tristram, and Hell cowing, because I loved it. I was so ready for D3 to blow me away. I waited anxiously to find out the repercussions of Tyrael's destruction of the Worldstone. I mean, the fuck? The Worldstone is what MADE Sanctuary....well, a sanctuary. I don't recall anyone, not even Tyrael himself, mentioning it in the game.
And that's before the rest of the atrocious plot sinks in. Add the RMAH, online bullshit, and losing Hardcore characters to lag {in single player, of course}, I was totally crushed at how disappointed I was at I game I should have been loving.
My hatred of Blizzard would make Mephisto proud. My desire for the destruction of this game and everything it has become would see me rise as Ba'al's strongest servant. The terror I wish to inflict on those who mutilated one of my favorite franchises would make Diablo smile.
Like the Dark Wanderer, I have become the very thing I set out to destroy.
And one last thing: Fuck the Witch Doctor. I want my Necromancer back.

Given the now existent history, if this game sells like gangbusters, my disappointment will not be with Activision-Blizzard, it will be with the gaming community. If the game community keeps being so willing to reward crap, then crap is what will be made. Take a stand and vote with your wallet. Say NO to Diablo 3 (and any other crappy, over-hyped, DRM-crippled game).
Companies hear and understand only two sounds: the creak of your wallet opening and the slap of your wallet closing. All other sounds are considered noise to be ignored.
