Diablo 3 or Skyrim

I might be getting a new laptop with decent enough specs to be able tu run both game but I have funds to only get 1... which one is more addictive and has a better story/environment?:D

Both can be huge time sinks if you're into them. Diablo is a good game, but in the long run the only thing that will keep you coming back is loot, or maybe playing with other people, that's something Skyrim doesn't have. Skyrim keeps you addicted for the tremendous amount of content to explore and do, with mods as a nice bonus when you get bored of the vanilla stuff.

You specifically mention better story and environment though, to that, I'd have to answer Skyrim. You should eventually get both games though.

Skyrim, if you are a gamer, if you are just one of mindless Blizzard hordes then get Diablo 3.

Go with the one that doesn't cram its DRM down your throat. The one that lets you play on a boat, train, plane, or wherever else you choose to play the game you paid for.

Hard choice. I think Diablo 3 will give you longer game play, Skyrim is an amazing experience with a truly alive world. Get both.

Well I got both and Diablo 3 is more addictive, Skyrim is also good, but I already played more D3 than Skyrim which came out last year. Im not much of a Story player, but D3 was more memorable imo.

Skyrim has a coop mod and great reviews. Diablo 3 gets poor reviews and I don't hear many ppl enthusing about it.

After killing lots of stuff? Diablo 3. After exploring, talking to NPCs, doing sidequests? Skyrim.

Personally, I thought Diablo 3 was more dissapointing as a Diablo game than what Skyrim was an Elder Scrolls game. Both games are good, though.

Has there actually been any poor D3 reviews? Besides user reviews on metacritic, because they don't mean sh!t.

How about you get a good game?creaturemagic

I'd go with Skyrim, Diablo was a big disappointment for me.

I'm sorry, the next time I express my opinion I'll make certain to filter it through you first.

In my opinion? Skyrim without a doubt. The mods alone make the case...

Neither game is anything special... Skyrim is less grindy and has more content that isn't repeated. Its also horribly buggy and the world feels a bit dead.

The writing and story in Diablo 3 is appauling, and it feels like you are playing a slot machine sometimes. You put in 60 dollars, and it gives you a bunch of bright flashing lights in return that make you want to keep playing. You need to endure the drudgery of normal mode before the game becomes at all fun.

At least with skyrim, you feel like you are getting a full game, not a finely tuned profit machine.

I'm pretty sure Steam allows me to play off-line whenever and wherever I want. Does Diablo 3 do that now, too?

Yeah, that's what I thought...

Diablow 3 is terrible, Skyrim is epic.

Unless your net drops and Steam won't let you access any of the games installed on your HD.

Ummm... Offline mode. That doesn't happen. So long as your games were fully updated before going offline the last time. And I just leave steam in offline mode all the time, except when I specifically want to see if there's any updates.

Offline mode is glitchy and often won't start if the net is disconnected while Steam isn't on in the background. That happens quite a bit to me on campus and forced me to crack all the Steam games I want to play since they block the ports for Steam...

Hmm. Weird. I've never had any problems with offline mode. Didn't have internet for well over a year a while back, and played HL2 and Portal all the time.

Wtf, i played all of Elder scrolls serials, and played all 3 Diablo's.

[QUOTE="JC_Spot"] It kind of loses that epic feel when it tells you to find a lost ancient ruin, then gives you an exact pinpoint location on your map where it is.JC_Spot

If you don't want to be treated like an idiot, play older RPGs.

If you have any friends, get Diablo.

If you like playing games alone, play Skyrim.

Vanilla Skyrim crushes vanilla Diablo 3.

Skyrim with Mods... Diablo 3 not even to be named in the same sentenance.

Diablo 3 = not worth $60.

Laptop?

Skyrim.

I would say get Skyrim because you can have a ton of fun with the mods. You cant go wrong with either game though.

P.S. The Tallest Man on Earth sig :D nice choice, very nice choice.
