So, Diablo 3 is really awesome and I can recommend it strongly. If you want to add me on there, my ID is Darkseider#1880.
Oh, I definitely agree, but from what I’ve heard so far, TL2 is a significant improvement over the first one in that respect.
Still, if I really loved the genre (I don’t, I find it mildly entertaining), I would have a hard time saying no to either D3 or TL2. From what I’ve seen so far, the actual game in D3 is super excellent.
EDIT: Totalbiscuit actually did another video on TL2 where he used that same word to describe TL1: same-y. And apparently TL2 has very, very much fixed that

I haven’t been able to play yet because I have to work (blah), but feel free to add WriterRyan#1782 as well. However, I’ll probably be playing through my first time solo because I want to be able to take the time to enjoy the story, so if I’m still in Normal tier and don’t accept game invites or whatever, don’t be offended.
Same here.
I played as much or more single-player D2 as I did online. The fact that my single-player game will no longer have a pause function (pizza shows up during boss fight = death?!), and that my SINGLE PLAYER game will log me out for inactivity are both major turn-offs.
The fact that I usually play games on my laptop while travelling (spotty internet connections) means that diablo 3 will be a miss for me.
Also, the real-money auction house thing just rubs me the wrong way. Not sure why, but it just…annoys me somehow.
This may seem like a odd question, but how exactly does Diablo 3 play? From the looks of it it isn’t a MMO, so no monthly fee right? I haven’t played any other Diablo games so I don’t really know anything about it, other than it is an RPG made by Blizzard, which made me think it would be an MMO with a fee, but after looking at it upon its release I didn’t see anything referencing to it so I just wanted to make sure on here and I may be tempted to purchase it aswell.
Adam, don’t be playing it too much or else your art might start taking a turn to fantasy type heroes, as cool as that may be, I don’t think too many people would enjoy it as much as super heroes.
Want to play D3 soooooo bad. Not in the gaming budget for a few weeks. The good news is when I finally get to play you guys will have a bunch of gear you can give me right?
It’s a fast paced ‘clicky’ game where you use your mouse mostly and click to move or attack.
It’s a fairly normal PC game, so no subscription. It’s not an MMo, but allows 4 people to group up for multiplayer antics.
I see, thank you Civi. Now I shall sit here and ponder if I will be purchasing this game or not. Hmm… When in doubt, whip a coin out. I strongly believe when torn between two decisions that a coin toss is the only true way to solve the problem. Sadly no change nearby and i’ll probably forget about it until later while at work, and I usually have plenty of coins to toss, just as long as I don’t lose them and make sure they get back in the drawer… Oh! And nobody decides they want to watch the cameras that night and see me doing it.
What kind of a gamer are you? Where’s your special even/odd die for binary choices?
It’s not like I carry a die with me everywhere I go, although I do just have my dice bag sitting right next to me, so I guess I could roll one of them. I really like flipping coins though, plus there are plenty of good games that involve quarters, I just can’t think of them right now. Not to mention my bad luck with rolls in important situations.
Party Member: So who is the sneakiest to get up next to the guard to pick pocket him and steal the key to the royal chamber of the royal family inside the royal dungeon?
Me: I’m sure I can handle this. Rolls d20, lands on 1
DM: You somehow manage to step on the one royal twig inside this deep dark royal dungeon with your such high stealth rank where you only had to roll a two or higher to pass that not only do you alert the guard, the entire off duty battalion that happened to be passing by also comes rushing in to investigate the noise.
True story, well actually I think I need a five or higher, but eh.
This is exactly why I am not a fan of the d20 system.
Finished my first run through last night, a bit behind my friends.
Normal mode is pretty easy, but Nightmare really ups its game and presents a challenge.
Elite and Rare mobs pack a much bigger punch…
I’m still in Act 1 normal with my Witch Doctor due to adult responsibilities and server issues. However, despite my slow progression, I’m having tremendous fun. The Witch Doctor is way more fun than I expected. Grasp of the Dead is monstrous, and I can’t wait to see more of his abilities as I unlock them.
I find it ok…
I think tl 2 going to be much better but d3 is what my gf is playing so had to get it
if she was not the online only would have made this a no buy for me
anyway I made an account so I could say if you guys want to pm me I have (2) guest passes for anyone that wants one
Been playing D3 with the Monk as my main, along with my dad and his Barbarian, just beat Normal, don’t have as much time to play as I’d like with my job. Games like this are one type of game my dad likes to play and are easy enough for him to understand, the auto stats on level up and no skill points makes it even easier for him. No more worrying about making the wrong decisions and being screwed for the rest of the game or have to make a new character to fix your mistakes.
If you haven’t found out yet, single-player does pause the game when you bring up the options menu, just can’t pause in multi-player.
I finally got a copy!!! So, feel free to friend me up (Gnipp) and I’d love to play with some fellow SOTM’ers
Anyone playing this?
EDIT: Hey, I bumped a thread by WriterRyan
I played it shortly after it came out (my dad got it for me for BDay/Christmas…can't remember which as they are quite close together ;)) so there'll have been loads of patches and changes and stuff since I was last in the game, plus the expansion has come out as well now. Finished it all the way through when I did play it, though. I can remember cheering quite loudly when we finally finished Inferno Mode :D.
Not my favourite ARPG, though. I don't much like the way the skills and stuff work. I much prefer Titan Quest (and am looking forward to Grim Dawn). The Torchlight games are cool (replayed both a few months back). Also have just started Path of Exile (again, properly now it's no longer in Beta) with Ja'Ph' this evening :).
Haven't played it since beta, when it was terrible.
Forgot to mention Diablo II - that's pretty cool and I still go back to it every now and then. I first played it back in 2001, before the expansion came out (dunno when that happened) and right before we first got hold of EQ and then that kept my busy for about four years or so :D.
