Diablo 3
« on: May 24, 2012, 03:11:12 PM »
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.

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. :P 

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. :P

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. :(

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.  :P

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.
