Let me first off say, i purchased (and still have original boxed copies) of starcraft, brood war, diablo, hellfire, diablo2 and diablo2 lod all when they first came out. suprisingly enough i still have them installed on my PC, everytime there i get a new PC, those games go on there. i dont dive too much into the lore and try to follow it cuz i dont have the time, but i am part of a demographic that has played these games just as they were introduced and became groundbreaking.
With this new generation of games, there is so much hype following these two games and there will be so much negative feedback once anything playable is released its going to be disgusting. When we caught SC2, what did people say? "it looks like a better graphic version of part one". this coming out of the mouth of the same people that were begging Blizzard for something new. As for D3, well lets just say people keep using D3 and WoW in the same sentence and i dont want to discuss that because it is bogus.
If there is anyone else out there that was around in the mid to late ninties that played these games from the beginning please post and give these two games they praise they deserve. There are way too many teens that are so hooked on WoW and the DoW series all they can do is try to compare the games together. ok, sure, Diablo was not the first ISO style rpg/hack/slash and Starcraft was not the first RTS, but what came before these games that was REALLY groundbreaking? When i say that, i mean the HUGE, still to this day, online following, the endless lore for both series, i mean the following is almost limitless.
If someone wanted to create a petition and send it to blizzard...it should have read, "Signatures below represent dedicated PC gamers showing appreciation to a truly innovative a great developer".
