really like the unique loot thing, btw - it's kind of a pain in the ass even if you're playing with friends, since everyone has to stop and divide up the loot, in pretty much every game of this type (be it Titan Quest or Borderlands). the way it is now, you only see loot you can pick up. I believe Torchlight 2 will have the same thing

so is there anything more to this game other than just killing stuff? looks pretty boring to me.
― PSOD (Ste), Tuesday, 24 April 2012 00:33 (twelve years ago) link
nope, that's the formula!

oh COME ON ste; you never played the original?

there's more than just killing stuff.... there's also collecting stuff !

forsk, i actually have it but never played it. (i got it with warcraft and starcraft in a package some years ago)

I think they're going to probably have the long-term game better planned out this time. afaik Diablo 2 is still playable, and they kept adding more shit you could do in multiplayer. Like if you kill Super Uber Hell Nightmare Diablo and his brothers they each drop a unique amulet and if you and your friends each throw those out in the town square in a new game then Super Duper Uber Diablo with flames shooting out his ass shows up and you can kill him or something.

Ste, it's as addictive and perfect as any game I've ever played. I failed at least one college class specifically because of diablo

it seems to me that Blizzard is responsible for a lot of college students' poor GPAs

anyone diving in? I keep hemming and hawing about it. I don't know whether I want to go for this or Torchlight II; I can't imagine myself playing two click to kills.

midnight tonight.

I'm in your position, Snap, don't know if I really want to throw down on this. But for Torchlight II I'll wait until the Mac port comes out, at least.
― Nhex, Monday, 14 May 2012 16:19 (twelve years ago) link
i think i'm in but i'm gonna have to put some real serious boundaries on it or else i'm going to lose a job
― (Name Withheld to Avoid Hassle) (forksclovetofu), Monday, 14 May 2012 16:20 (twelve years ago) link
I thought they were trying for a same date release for the Mac version. If not, that makes the choice much, much easier.
― EZ Snappin, Monday, 14 May 2012 16:22 (twelve years ago) link
talking Torchlight II, obv. Diablo III is both systems as far as I know.
We can check for you on this thread every few days if you want, forks?
― Andrew Farrell, Monday, 14 May 2012 16:25 (twelve years ago) link
please do. i have a date tonight that a BIG part of me wants to cancel in favor of going home to bed and waking up at 1am to play for a few hours before work.

yeah, the plot/characters are the dumbest thing by far. it's kind of charming how they didn't try to make the voice acting any better

battlenet and blizzard.com slightly sluggish to react, but I can click around in there and still get some action.
I'm going to wait on this one til the patches start coming.
When's the next SC2 coming, anyway? Next summer?

ha, blizzard feared their servers would go down with the rush of people trying to get in. they were supposed to have a 45 second waiting time or smth like that to lighten the load on servers, but i guess that wasn't enough.

hah I actually thought the voice acting in D2 was pretty good, the voice acting in the D3 commercials/trailers was pretty cringe inducing tho

I agreed with a lot of this - IMO it's the same issue playing difficult NES and SNES games on an emulator, where you know you can just create a ton of save states and 'cheat' the game, which in turn makes the whole idea of playing it a lot less fun - you don't really feel like you 'beat' anything.

that article was a rollercoaster ride of TRUTH BOMB / WTF? for me. it did make me want to play his new game when it comes out tho.
― Roberto Spiralli, Tuesday, 15 May 2012 14:05 (twelve years ago) link
it made me wanna play diablo3 AND his game. The suggestion that a "number accumulator" isn't a game is ridiculous; I will buy D3 as farmville for hacknslash nerds though and own that. I love that he put up a number accumulator and his readers promptly played it to killscreen
