Diablo III

Postby bagheadinc on Fri May 18, 2012 5:44 am

So I'm sure at least some of you picked this game up. So what are your thoughts so far*? Which class did you go with? Picked a favorite companion yet?

*Let's keep the "OMG DRM SUX! Y U DO DIS BLIZRD??11!!!?1!" to a minimum. I think we're all aware that people dislike the DRM. If you want to complain about it, complain to Blizzard directly.

--------------------

So far I've been pretty happy with the game. It has some drastic changes from Diablo II, but still has the fun Diablo feel. I went with Witch Doctor since I've always been a summoner myself (favoring the Necromancer and Druid from Diablo II). I typically go with the Templar as my companion, he complements well. If anyone is looking to strike up a party, my Battletag is bagheadinc#1114.

Diablo III

Honestly, my biggest thing is that it feels more like Dungeon Siege (1, 2) instead Diablo (1, 2). I don't see the randomness or the frustration with Diablo 3 that I see with 1 & 2. It's more mellow, like Dungeon Siege.

Love it (minus the unreliable server nonsense). Already beat it on Normal as the Wizard, too.

I've never played any of the Diablo games. Worth jumping into III? I'm not as much on gaming these days...

I would suggest at least starting with Diablo II.

I tinkered with the beta, but didn't get too far along, and that was before they rewrote the interface. I've been playing it with both Cat (my fiancée) and some friends, and it's fun without being too complex. I've made some decisions regarding which abilities to implement at different times and been either pleasantly surprised or running for my virtual life, but that's part of the fun. I just wish that 8-person multiplayer was available as my gaming group now consists of five people. We solved it by playing three in one and two in another and keeping rough pace with each game with a lot of conversation via Skype. It was a little kludgey, but it worked.

I wasn't really looking forward to it originally and would have hesitated on getting it if it wasn't coming with my WoW annual pass anyway. Cat has been salivating over it for a long time and has paid enough attention to the story to pick out at least a couple of possible hooks to the expansion. I, however, was just figuring I should pick up some Logitech stock and work on other things. WoW has become a ghost town for the moment, though, and most of my remaining gaming friends are attached to it instead of the various Steam games we would play, so it's hard to do much in the way of online gaming.

I think that if WoW gets the same fine-tuning in Pandaria that D3 got with its ability system, we'll see a better game experience throughout. I expect that Project Titan will build on both extensively.
If I show up at your door, chances are you did something to bring me there.

You'd think they would have gone with 5 instead of 4, since there are 5 classes.

Life is full of difficult choices. It's like an incredibly tame SAW movie, where you have to choose who gets left out. Or if it were a bad M. Night Shyamalan movie, it would be the twist.

That's a bit redundant. :P

Hey, I liked The Sixth Sense. Not all of them were terrible, were they?

I like the idea of dead people.

I found Unbreakable to be pretty watchable...

Oh god Unbreakable remains high on my list of most terrible films I've ever seen. (It'd take a true disaster to remove Stay Hungry from the top spot though.)

Well, anyway, back to Diablo III. I know it's about the DRM, but I'm not making a new thread for this. Also, it is the Jimquisition, so there. :lol:
