Diablo 3

[BigusSchmuck]

Anyone try this yet? I went ahead and used my target gift card (had exactly $60) and got it today. So far I have to say its a lot of fun, but this DRM that requires you to be online all the time is a real killer if you have a crappy connection. It really reminds me a lot of the first game at least in terms of gameplay, but I'll probably finish this one real quick like.

[roflmao]

I'm really tempted to pick this up.  The DRM thing is a MAJOR turnoff to me.  I do a lot of RVing and don't often have an internet connection when out, but do bring a laptop for gaming in the evenings.  The shit they're pulling makes me want to wait until some hacker group has figured out a way to play it offline, and then buying it and cracking it.  

Alternatively, I could just wait until Torchlight 2 comes out later this summer for 1/3 the cost (which is developed by many of the same people who developed the first Diablo). 

D3 does look awesome, and I'll probably eventually succumb to temptation, but it's a really sucky move they did.

I was originally going to go that route to try it out, but after I found out what was involved cracking it (basically some sort of server emulation) I caved in and got it anyway. Not only that, but I didn't pay anything for it, just used a gift card.

[roflmao]

Yeah, I don't think I can wait until server emulation happens (though it's probably inevitable considering all the WoW pirate servers out there these days).  I just wish I'd be able to play it without an internet connection.

UO as in Ultima Online? Man I thought I was the only one addicted to that game.

[Arkhan]

yeah I go back to UO all the time because I'm retarded


I like the new client though

I don't like that my necromancer paladin samurai got nerfed.   Wraith forms all gayed up now

I don't remember anymore. Maybe it made me laugh?

A friend of mine is pressuring me to play this. It's far outside my usual realm of gaming (Japanese console gaming). I don't tend to enjoy many PC gamer-type things. Do you think there is anything to enjoy here for the turbo gamer type person dude?

For me, the ultimate keyboard/mouse controlled dungeon crawler will always be Brandish 3. There's no way D3 can possibly top B3. 

[RegalSin]

Dungeon Explorer = Guatlet = Diablo. That is pretty much it, unless it is differnt from the original diablo. I believe the movement was, updating RPGs to modern times, when FFVII was released. These Isometric games, all started to take place in meteropolis atmospheres.

[Arkhan]

meteoropolis!
