Its getting closer, only 5 more days now.
I don't have a gaming PC so I am on the outside looking in. If there is a console port, I'll be first in line.
You won't require a gaming pc. A half decent machine will run a Blizzard game well.
same here. also, wtf is this game?i dont think my system could handle it.. old piece of shit computer!
The requirement of always having to be online just to play single player was a deal breaker for me.
Is this the kind of thing that would ever be ported onto consoles? like The Witcher? I've heard a lot of positive hype, but that's pretty much the only way I'd ever be able to play it.
I've been playing today in between server crashes. I've managed to get my Monk to level 11 and my Wizard to level 9. So far, I like playing the monk more just because of his brutal fighting style and fun combos.
It's a beautiful game with smooth graphics and imagery. The play style is pretty much the same as D1 and D2, but the skill sets are different. You can change your skill sets anytime and there's only like a 20 second cool down. The health globes drop so plentifully, I haven't once used my Monk's healing ability cos his health doesn't drop much at all which makes me think a Barbarian must be able to waltz through combat without harm. Probably not. The music is good too, but that's not surprising for a Blizzard game. The Catacombs and Hell level music from D1 still gives me the creeps. I've posted them below if you are a random Demon living on Earth and need some comfort music. So far D3 music hasn't been as unnerving as D1, but still gels perfectly with the feel of the game.
The server downtime and disconnects, while annoying as hell, is typical of any Blizz product that is at it's infancy or just had a major patch. If you've played WoW or SC you'll know what I mean. Doesn't mean it's right but Blizz has never been big on customer relations. They'll smooth it out eventually I'm sure but in the meantime I'm squeezing in a couple of levels between crashes.
Good luck and good gaming. See you in Hell!

I haven't played it yet, but The Witcher 2 hit Xbox360 about a month ago and looks pretty goddamned awesome. Got pretty great reviews too. I'd pick it up if I weren't broke.I have the original Witcher for the PC, and I don't know how well it would do for consoles. It's been awhile since I played it. Considering that people are saying that Diablo 3 has low system requirements I wouldn't be surprised if consoles could handle it, but one of the things that I notice about games like this that are ported to consoles is that both their controls and their interfaces for handling things like spells and items along with almost anything else really suck considering they were originally made to be used with a mouse and keyboard.
