I refer to this article.

A well-written and comprehensive article that provides enough information without being too divulging.

Sorry, it seems that the link-posting glitch still persists.

You'll have to go to the webpage manually.

So..it's a fact that this game will be great? Good stuff.Lto_thaG

Also, IGN doesn't really like Blizzard games.

So....you've played it huh?kris9031998

I certainly hope so, though with the Great Team at Blizzard working on it I'm sure It will be great. :)

Unfortunately having to be on line for single player has discouraged me from buying Diablo 3.

The problem with Blizzard, as in Starcraft 2, is not bad writers. But writers being given limited freedom. Sc2 story could be better if it were written as a M-rated game, but Blizzard was too adamant in making the game as T-rated, so in someways, the writing was dumbed-down.

Warcraft is the same. T-rated, but tries to present complex themes.

Diablo is different; it is M-rated, therefore it allows for more complex writing representing the dark world.

Leonard wasn't responsible for the demon hunter trailer's writing, hopefully? >_>

[QUOTE="Ravenchrome"] No. Trailers are handled by a completely separate department. And Leonard is one of the best writers in the industry, seriously.

[QUOTE="DarkLink77"] StarCraft II's problem was the lack of Chris Metzen. The Raynor/Tychus relationship was done well, though.

DarkLink77

Good for people who want it.

Also, what is it with people calling games "experiences?"

I dunno, the Diablo formula feels kinda outdated nowadays. I hope Blizzard takes a couple of notes from Bethesda and BioWare, considering how much they both have improved the action RPG genre this generation, making perfect hybrids of action-based gameplay and RPG elements.IronBass

There's the problem with the health system, Diablo 3 is changing that up too.

The skill system, completely reworked.

Of course, lets not forget the inclusion of destructible environment.

So..it's a fact that this game will be great? Good stuff.Lto_thaG

Pretty much. It's common knowledge that Diablo 3 will be the second coming. I can't wait to have my eyeballs melt from it's sheer excellence.

Um, yeah, I guess, but multiplied by over 9000.

[QUOTE="Lto_thaG"][QUOTE="Ravenchrome"] Do you like looting? Do you like randomness? Do you like insane-flexibility for customization? If so, this game will suit you.

Yes because games like Oblivion and Mass Effect are bastions of stat based rpg mechanics.. Oh thats right, both games threw both things pretty much out of the window.. And I like how you use "simple" in it, when Oblivion and Mass Effect 2 both were dumbed down in multiple ways in mechanic for simplicity rather then rectifying any problems.. There are ways of improving the system, games like Oblivion didn't what so ever.. They have in fact devolved with less options or startegy compared to past games.. Not good comparisons WHAT so ever.. Furthermore Diablo is not a action rpg.. Its a hack n slash rpg.. It was based upon this premise of dungeon crawling.. And these mechanics have made people play these type of games far longer than anything provided by Oblivion, mass effect etc etc.. They are not the same games, top comparing them..

I didn't like WoTLK, Cataclysm, or SC2 and I've really given Blizzard a lot of chances.....I just don't think I'm going to like this game since I haven't really enjoyed the modern Blizzard stuff that much. I hope it'll surprise me....I'm going to have to play the entire game at my friends house to make sure before I buy this one though (seeing as you can't sell Blizzard games used!).
