Diablo 3 $43 preorder

With free shipping. Also available overseas for dirty foreigners, and the exchange rate of dollars to potato looks about right.

I want to buy it because it's Diablo 3 and I am a big disgusting Diablo loving whore, but I don't want to buy it because Blizzard is the anti-Christ and shit like region locked b.net bugs the piss out of me. But $43 with free shipping! WHAT AM I GOING TO DO :M

Thats rather cheap for Blizzard games. Even in potato. Perhaps I will buy it. But of course after first having 'tested' it extensively. Times when I bought games on impulse are long over.

It will suck , it takes fuck load of time for blizzard to develop small and simple games that indie game company could pull-off in 2 years.Fuck blizzard bunch of lazy asses.After 20 fucking years gaming will be fully interactive with real world and blizzard will be fucking making same freaking shit with isometric view.

It's not diablo they are making , but just another shitty diablo-ripoff.

What is wrong with isometric? Would Diablo be "better" if first-person? Or as a sidescroller? Perspective isn't the sort of thing that gets better, different perspectives work better for different applications. As the bastard child of roguelikes, Diablo works well in isometric perspective.

I wouldn't call Diablo III "just another shitty diablo-ripoff", either. Most shitty diablo-ripoffs are actually ripoffs of Diablo II, and usually introduce some additional level of complexity to the base formula. Diablo III looks more like (Diablo II * WoW) / :retarded:.

nothing is wrong with isometric now , what i meant that when games will become totally interactive with real world , blizzard will still make same totally games with updated graphics.They are afraid of any kind of innovations , they are playing safe and counting on nostalgia and their own reputation.

They do? I've always thought of it the other way around. None of them really manage to capture everything Diablo 2 had, let alone add something good to the mix.

But yeah, Diablo 3 doesn't even seem to be trying.

UK here. It's on amazon for 23£ including shipping, which is about 36$.

That said, despite me being a Diablo whore as well, and despite 23£ being a very reasonable price for an "AAA title", I will carry on my silent protest against Fapzzard and not buy the game.

Well I bought starcrap 2 for $60 and it turned out to be the worst game in the world. So in comparison buying the second worst game in the world for a mere $43 doesn't sound so bad...

Yeah, Diablo 1 was awesome.

Diablo 2 decent for coop, meh otherwise - too much grindan, not enough persistency nor atmosphere, with shit like raiding the same boss over and over because he had good chance of dropping something interesting.

Don't really care about Baublo 3 any more, so I'm immune.
:obviously:

P.S. Somebody shop Kotick's face with soulstone in his forehead and make a demotivator out of it subtitled DIABLO 3: Lord of Greed.

I'll probably get Diablo 3, if only because Blizzard has me by the balls.

Is that website even legit? Something has to be amiss when one site offers it for $43 while the others have it around $60.

Their target release date is sometime in May/June. Other than the other two classes most of the relevant info has already been released.

http://www.resellerratings.com/store/CD_Wow They're most likely legit. The annoying thing being they apparently take the money when you place the order, not when it ships. I'm still kinda tempted though.

And they could put more Torchlight 2 screenshots or videos up or something! SOMETHING!

Diablo3: a short roguelike limited in content and scope marketed to graphics whores. :smug:
