$60 ... I hope it's good.

Not as good as GW2, whistle. D3 is overhyped, and I doubt I'll like it.

[Tolakram]

I feel the same way ... it might be because Activision owns Blizzard now. GW has some of the old blizzard team and looks to be better positioned for a fun game. I'll probably buy both.

[Oxydean]

I totally agree with both of you dear friend ! Will wait for a huge discount before i get D3 anyways , nuff said

[baradien]

first gw 2 for me aswell i'll see about it of d3

[rdsandersjr]

I am having mixed feelings about the game; dunno if I will be getting it. Activision has corrupted Blizzard.... I suppose major success corrupts everyone to a certain extent.

Sorry, just added just incase anyone wanted to try, its free but You must have at least one full version of a Blizzard Entertainment game attached to this Battle.net account in order to set up your beta i lost my old account

us.media.battle.net.edgesuite.net

Nevertheless it looks real, and useless

I just played 15 minutes with the open beta, then 15 minutes of Diablo II.

They ruined it. I can't believe what they did ... really, I can't see how they got this wrong. So sad.

1. I had to run around talking to different people in a MMO like quest. NO!

2. My stash was horribly small but I could buy extra space with gold. NO!

3. I had to wait between drinking healing potions. NO!

4. The loading screen music was some sort of classical number without any spooky guitar or drums. NO!

They missed the point entirely. Diablo is about FUN FUN FUN, not GRIND GRIND GRIND. Idiots. Did they not play Diablo II? Hell, I would have bought and played Diablo III if it was nothing more then Diablo II with updated graphics.

[Tolakram]

I want to just point how how #3 above pretty much sums up how they ruined it.

3. I had to wait between drinking healing potions. NO!

That IS Diablo. Potion potion potion ... crap, portal to town, need more potions!

Idiots.
