Poll: Diablo III: The Badass package you've been waiting for!

[captainfoss]

I mean no disrespect by any means, i'm rather glad to find someone whose opinion isn't the same as everyone elses.

I was just curious of your perspective in the matter of how to start Diablo III. I thought this was a unique way to go by you do have a point, I wasn't too thrilled with the composer either and i'd much prefer something more than just sketches.

Unfortunately, that is what most writers do in terms of writing articles about games they haven't actually had the chance to play yet.

Well, that's a surprise, most of the time I get called a hater.

It may well be unique, but only unique in the sense of lots of cliches being assembled in this particular way. There's more to say about it, but I think you got my point.

If you write an article about a game, write about something new you've found out. Like the no-offline news, or the news about new classes and the like. In this case, write about the trailer, but don't just go "Here guys, this is the stuff you've known for months. Fascinating, huh?"

The witch doctor is a unique idea, but by all honestly, his existence in general is a little pointless.

Nail on the head. At first Blizzard tried to present this guy like a sort of an alchemist, but then they just went what the fuck and pretty much made a necromancer that looks tribal.

Haters don't usually have a reasoning for their destruction but it's obvious to tell that you have a sense of intelligence, thus, respectable opinions.

I agree that a writer trying to touch on a topic as such, his focus showed be to find something that is unknown as opposed to regurgitating, thou, that alone isn't the easiest thing to do when it's for a game that already thousands have played via beta.

I remember the alchemist model when the rumors of Diablo III were first hitting the fan.
If I remember correctly, one of the classes had a time controlling skill as well.

Why isn't there an option for "not buying this crappy sequel to a classic?" Outrageous! If I do pick up the game when its like 10 dollars, I would probably play Demon hunter, as it is the closest to Rogue/Amazon.

If that ever happens, it will not be before at least two years after all of Diablo 3's planned expansions have hit the store shelves, and even then, 20-30 bucks is as low as it will ever fall. Doubtful about that, too.

I know. I can't believe Starcraft 2 is still basically full price. Of course, it is Blizzard, they could charge 500 dollars a game and people would still buy them. I was super pumped for Diablo 3 until I learned about every change they were making since the initial announcements, and then I played the beta and that was the last nail in the coffin. Of course, it could be changed before release to suck less and then I'd be interested.

Male Barbarian for sure, Im going to aim for a DA reaver like build (i.e. using the 2 passives that make abilities cost no fury at low health and give you more damage at full fury).

Cant wait, although Im desperately awaiting the release of the sys reqs as Im doubting if my shitty laptop is going ot run it.

 

[antidonkey]

Not sure yet which class I'll start with but I'm pretty sure I'll play though the game with all of them. It's what did with Diablo 1 and 2.

As any curious gamer would, It will always be a great replay game!
Just by the looks of each class, i'm rather positive i'll be falling in love with the Monk.

Wow thank you, thank you very much.

 

[Lunar Templar]

I just found them the other day actually, Hope your computer can run it!

I've been waiting for Torchlight II actually, it's got a SinglePlayer Mode, it's got LAN, it has no ridiculous DRM, it has no Pay2Win cash shop and it allows, nay even encourages mods with tools and everything...

On top of that, it will have 4 player Co-Op, is developed by some of the guys that actually worked on Diablo I+II and aren't just trying to emulate them and will cost only about 20?/$.

Basically it's everything I've wanted from a Diablo III and more, thank you very much.

I had never even heard of Torchlight, Thanks for that!

I think the Monk will be amazing, or so I hope!

I'll likely roll one of those to, eventually. but i've been liking how the Demon Hunter sounds for a lot longer, that said, i expect the monk to be an absolute beast.

the 'always online' thing? or was there something else? cause i was rather quick to condemn the game for that as well. till i noticed just how many hours i've spent playing MMO's, which have the 'same DRM', just sayin.

and ... how is the auction house 'pay2win'? that would imply the items sold are only obtainable there and from what i've seen, this is not true.

 

[ShadowsofHope]

Already have the Collectors edition pre-ordered. ^^

Also, Demon Hunter all the way. Love that crossbow stuff.

 

[Lucyfer86]

Witch doctor for me, minions ftw. Making Wizard after that as a second char.

What it implies is that you can sidestep any form of working for your gear when you can get stuff for US dollars. Had they not included that into the auction house, the only way for you to get items would've been by playing the game, whether it's finding them by chance or buying them for gold.

that's pretty normal for auction houses on the whole though, even if its in game currency its just a way of side stepping the game and being lazy.

and while i do see your point, some one STILL has to go out, and play the game to GET the item to put up for sale, work still needs to be done to stock the auction house. and i for one will be quite happy to put an arrow or long bit of sharp steel in somethings face if it means an extra $5 for me
