Diablo III

After several years of development there's still no
"It's too early to estimate Diablo III's release date. As with all Blizzard Entertainment games, our goal is to create a game that is as fun, balanced, and polished as possible. We intend to take as much time developing Diablo III as is necessary to ensure the game meets our own high expectations and those of our players. We're aiming to release Diablo III on both Mac and Windows simultaneously in as many regions as possible, and to localize the game in several languages. We'll have more details to share about countries, languages, and specific dates as we get closer to release."
For those who of you who don't know the Diablo series, Diablo2 was one of the most populair online RPG games in 2000-2004
Since I was somewhat addicted to D2 for several years I'm planning to buy it as soon as it gets released. Anyone following its progress or waiting for its release?

diablo2 is very active and when u think about it that they released 2patches in the last 2years. that isn't normal for an old game like this.

D2 was a H&S not a RPG. all the clicking pissed me off but besides that it was no doubt a really nice game. If however Im still busy with dragon age 2 (+ DLCs) , the witcher 2 or two worlds 2 DLCs, even shooters like ME3 or Dead Space 2 (DLCs by then) Ill not be playing it.

two worlds 2 is one of _the_ best games 2010. cant possibly imagine what you disliked about it and i honestly dont know of anyone else disliking it. played the first one and i think its one of the best sequels ever made. "time it takes loading"? it does not have any loading times besides being huge open world with beautiful graphics, awesome (continued) story, everything in speech, [...] which makes it a masterpiece of coding work as well.

two worlds(1) was without a doubt a masterpiece.
it didn't have any longer loading times for me either. which is my point exactly...
the movement and fighting mechanics are just bad imo. do as many clicks as you can OR do one while someone is attacking and voila, instant kill; you don't have to practise or be talanted at all, to not lose health in a fight. and the bow aiming is just a joke and some of the dialoges are plain stupid/annoying (plus it has quite some bugs left in the release version...and the graphics are not as exceptional as you say imo, even gothic 3 had those graphics.

the game looks rather pretty on max settings with dx11, maybe nothing too out of the ordinary. i didnt go for the bow route but i have a mage and a double swords man. fighting gets harder 8and you might not wonna play it on easy) to the point where you need to start timing your attacks, your blocks, you counters and i dont think that you got what the spacebar does infight (there is more to the fighting physics than you think). also many of the trash mobs are jsut super easy to kill, that part of the idea tho as youll get some quests that are impossible to do at the point you get it (your ur imba alchemist and get it done anyways). i think you didnt give it enough of a try, especially playing mage is something refreshingly different from all the other RPGs out there.
and when it comes to dialoges: compared to gothic 4 (and gothic was known for its awesome dialogues) this is BRILLIANT.

actually i played it for some more hours, and no, not on easy, don't even bother trying any games on easy nowadays^^

think they messed up the card system entirely tbh, it was far more intuitive in tw1 and switching between spells (they probably meant to block it out this time...which is just stupid imo) is pretty f* up in tw2
and yes, i DO understand the concept of the spacebar, which makes it all too easy, thats the point, the game is just tooooooo easy in my opinion :P
PS: imo gothic 4 was also a major disappointment considering how great gothic 3 looks and feels after the release of the newest cummunity patch

that thingy with the community patch for gothic3 is new for me, gonna check that out soon.
well i finished tw2 after being pretty disappointed with gothic 4 and having to wait for witcher 2.
maybe its only the recent times w/o any good releases that make me love it so much but i really enjoyed it.
cant freaking wait for dead space 2 and while waiting for the 28th to come im playing wow cause there is simply nothing worth to play atm, or is there?

e: you might wonna check out this complete overhaul of oblivion , its amazingly good for a fan project (better than the 2 official expansions).

diablo was one of first demo games ive ever played :) D2 was just awesome
▼
SsAP 20 Jan 2011, 11:41
D2 was simply awsome - just not as exciting after all those years (partly because graphics are painstakingly bad after having played newer titles and resuming playing it :P

edit: definitely going to buy it, going to be released this year afaik (don't ask me where i read that, was somewhen last year somewhere^^)

I still remember playing D2 when it didn't have synergys and bow ama was just BEAST in pvp since the guided arrow went through the player till he/she died !

I've started it and stopped playing it after getting +90lvl and getting all the best equipments the game has to offer too many times. (way too easy btw)

yeah, been waiting for D3 for a long time now, hope it comes out somewhere in 2011 :|. but I highly doubt that, since they havent released any release date . Let's see if they give the release date in blizzcon. (is there a blizzcon this year?)
