So as you know, Diablo 3 came out on Tuesday, and i've heard a -lot- of bad things about it, but I am wondering if any of our gang has tried it, or knows someone who has tried it, and has an opinion? Just curious. |

I have some friends who bought it. They've had connection issues, or something. Also, [relevant]. |

I think Battle.net was not made for connecting millions of people at once for a long long period of time, for such a heavy bandwidth. With Starcraft2 it was just achievements and some multiplayer games, but Diablo 3 it's massive amounts of players doing lots and lots of things at once needing to be saved into the servers. I haven't tried it, heard it was alright, but until I see the game for myself I probably won't get it. I have Diablo 2, so I'm good for now. |

ill probably get it eventually, but based on the bitching in that post and by yev and i's friend, i'll take my time. plus im currently playing through a different game, so im focused on that now. that said, i agree with the article, it is bullshit that you cant play a single player game without having to connect to the internet to do it. I had a similar problem with steam a while back, where i wanted to play civ v, but had no internet. steam's offline mode was broken, so i couldnt touch my game, even though it wasnt even hosted somewhere else, it was on my own damn computer |

At the rate things are going, I may stop buying new video games. I'll pick up older ones that I need to beat. I can live with outdated graphics, as long as the games are fun. |

So I got rather "Lucky" I guess the word is, as one of my friends was so desperate to get me to play co-op with him, he brought me a copy. So, I started a game with him, tried a monk... Funniest thing was dusting off my old Authenticator, which has sat unused since I quit WoW about a year ago. But all in all, the game isn't too shabby. Same fun style of Hack'n slash Diablo always has been, just with simplified customisation system, and WoWesque action bar for skills. Only real complaint is, of course the DRM system. Latency on the game is consistently shit, and its not due to my connection, I have already checked and found it is an issue that Blizzard are investigating. Not only that, you get lag in single player. If thats not a kick in the balls, nothing is. Now I only play co-op, so its no major biggie. -But- this game is not very good for Single player. At all. Overall: If you plan to game with friends, its worth it. If you want to play solo, wait for Torchlight 2. |

I've got the game, it's not bad, now that I have a decent enough connection but I don't really have a real reason to keep playing. This is just me in that respect though, the game itself is similar enough to diablo 2 so if you enjoyed it you'll enjoy this. |
