Which game do you think will be the better slasher? I'd personally go for Diablo, but I love to play God of War. :)

What? Diablo 3 and God of War aren't the same type of game. One is an RPG, with heavy emphasis on loot collection and character progression. The other is an action-adventure title, with emphasis on story, and visuals. I'm getting both, though.

They're both highly anticpated exclusive slahers. Both are sort of button mashy at points too. They seem similar enough to say which you like more to me. :P

Apples vs Oranges, lol. It's a bit stupid to compare them, really. Diablo III is an RPG; the controls and mechanics are absolutely different. They're gonna be great games, though.

They are absolutely nothing alike, calling them slasher doesn't make them comparable. Tough choice nonetheless. GoW will be the better SP, Diablo will have killer online that I will be playing for years. Thats how I look at. I really don't know if I could choose.

Diablo is not a hack and slasher, but rather an 'action' RPG. Personally, I don't think there is anything action about them! :lol: They are just sped up CRPGs with the Role Playing taken out.

But Diablo III will win the poll because sheep and lemmings will vote against GoW3 for being a PlayStation exclusive.

EDIT: fixed some embarrassing mistypes.

Your grasp of the english language amazes me.

And maybe Diablo III is more hyped by people than GOWIII because they believe it to be the better game?

Yes, they're both highly rated franchises. Blizzard isn't God, you know.

Yes, one typo means I don't know any English. After all, you only understood me enough to reply. :roll: This is system wars, people just vote for what will help their faction. And God of War is a true hack and slasher, Diablo is an action RPG. They're not in the same genre.

EDIT: I'm sleepy.

Actually they are comparable, basically they are both RPGs although with different gameplay. As I have never played a GoW game I'll go with D3.

I played both Diablo 1 and 2, and I owned a PC(two years old) and a PS3. For visual comparison for gameplay, I first watch the video of Diablo 3, in my mind I was thinking, "Gosh, do I need to upgrade a new graphic card?" Then, somewhere down the road, I watched the gameplay of GoW 3, in my mind I was thinking, "Oh my god... I gonna get a PS3!" In terms of gameplay, I used to enjoy playing Diablo 1 & 2, but after I played GoW1, 2 & 3, I'd changed my mind. All I can say, GoW3 have set a new standard, at least for me.

As much as I LOVE all things God of War, Diablo is just... an unholy monster that robs weeks, possibly even months of life from you. So yes, Diablo 3.

Blizzard > Sony.OreoMilkshake

You should be schooled on the difference between a publisher and a developer.

Blizzard & Santa Monica Studios are equivalent

Activision & Sony Entertainment America/Europe are equivalent.

Well Blizzard still publishes their own games so it'd be Blizzard = Sony and Blizzard = Santa Monica. But yeah, I think he was speaking devs. :P

BTW I can't believe this topic is back. As good as God of War III is I am still rooting for Diablo III. :P

Careful now, Milking WoW into casual lowest common denominator trash, rehashing SC1 in hopes to grab the same people yet again and taking years to release anything makes them gods according to PC gamers nowadays ;) ... just like Valve... "Just Wait".. and when they are out they are just ... more of the same. *awaits fanboy responses from Cataclysm avatars.*

They are gods when it come to games, God of war 3 you beat maybe 1-3 times then never touch it again while Diablo3 will last looooong time. All blizzards games ownz

B/C it's a rarity when all three other factions ( Lems, Herms & Sheep ) get together to equal and or in rare cases outnumber the cows. :P

And not everyone votes down party lines either! I doubt many people who have played Diablo would consider this a contest.
