What the hell has happened to Diablo 3?

[zauxz]

Give them time.

Blizzard is allways slow, however when they are done, prepare to be amazed. Serriousilly when was the last time you were dissapointed with something that blizzard released?

Well, considering how little they actually release. But in my case it was Warcraft 3 and WoW. I guess they haven't done much else lately.

Serriousilly? i loved Wc3 especialy the plot.

Yea, sadly I'm serious. Believe me, after the time I spent on the first two games and the expansion to number 2 I really wanted to play WC3. And I did. But I never could drag myself all the way through it. For whatever reason it just did absolutely nothing for me.
And considering how much fun people seem to derive from it I feel I'm missing out on something. But try as I might, I just can't seem to care for the game at all. I guess I'll just have to live with it. Or try again.

I truly hope they delayed working on it because people bitched about it being too colorful.

You should know that Blizzard always lets us tiny snippets of news every few months, with all their games. Did you follow Warcraft 3? That was hell for fans like me. It kept getting delayed. I'd rather wait forever and get one definitive release that then to go through that again.

Diablo 3 will probably come out in 2011 or 2012 in my opinion. And Starcraft 2? Probably late 09 or early 10

Well, in the now two months old PcGamer magazine, they said that StarCraft 2 would be released sometime this summer.
But who knows, maybe it has been delayed...
Again...

Well when you look at Blizzard, its a fact that it will probably get delayed.

Yeah, it's a fact.
And it's quite a big game, so they probably find a lot of bugs now and then...

 

[XUnsafeNormalX]

Blizzard takes their time with their games.

Oddly enough this is the same reason Blizzard has never released a bad game.

 

[RH3INLAND.]

Why do all the awesome games have no release date.

Prime example: Duke Nukem Forever. (It'll come out! One day!)

What ever happened to the new Counter Strike? Announced to be released with the Orange Box... Luckily TF2 actually released with the Box, but the new CS vanished as well... Probably just a another developer trick to empty our pockets into buying all of their other games in the hope that our loyalty allows them the funding to release our favorite... And the fact that they just like to mess with fanboys for sure. But I am saddened by no update on Diablo 3 also...

It's stuff like this that makes me wonder weather the developers try for more money than quality of product or when (if you ever do in Diablo 3's case) you get the game itself. Either the game comes out WAY ahead of schedule with more bugs than one flyswatter can take care of or it gets released uber late with no bugs but tons of buyers screaming "finally!"
I've had few games that come out around the designated release date be exceptionally great.

 

[Agayek]

Has Blizzard even announced a release date for StarCraft 2?

 

[The Great JT]

Blizzard has a habit of saying it's games will be released "soon".

"Soon" traditionally, to Blizzard, means "when we feel it's ready to be released." In the meantime, just speculate what the two remaining classes will be in Diablo 3.

I've got a good feeling about Druid and Paladin.

The update about the archivist is only 22 days old

Its Blizzard dude. "It will be ready when its fucking ready and not a moment before hand so shut the hell up" is basically their unofficial policy on all release dates.

The way it should be IMO.

Agreed. The longer you have to wait for a game the better it tends to be.

unless its Too Human that is
in all seriousness, i can endure the wait. the prospect of another quality blizzard release is enough to sustain me.

 

[richard99th]

Im starting to lose interest in Diablo 3 i couldnt give a toss about starcraft as i dont play rts's. Giving me snipppets of info and then just fucking off to juggle WoW balls all day has made me lose interest in anything blizzard release.

Agreed with the Too Human reference Yeah same, Blizzard rarely disappoint so they can take as long as they like for all I care.
