Diablo PC

Blizzard cares about your game working for you the first time with the least amount of bugs possible.
What would you rather have? A late game or one that doesn't work because I tell you. You guys will be the first to write on the forum don't buy this game its crap…it doesn't even work. Sacred 2 is a fine example of rushed…its buggy the patches usually don't even install properly. And by the time you figure out how to make it work…you look like a hairless ape with a dumbfounded look on your face. Aren't you getting sick of company's releasing games that don't even work properly on launch, they just figure they will fix it later and leave you crashing to desktop thinking it's your pc or in some cases freezing you system Cough cough (Sacred2).
I say Blizzard take your time…cause once it's out it will be a gem!

Blizzard was kind enough to let me play the beta this weekend, and I have played several hours having achieved level 11 on my Barbarian.

The controls feel really tight, typical Blizzard really. I bound cleave to hotkey 1, and you can run around by holding down the hotkey and the Barbarian will follow the mouse cursor and attack when he is in range, really cool. What's really nice is you don't have mana this time around, even as a spellcaster. Barbarian has abilities like cleave which generate fury, and other abilities like the hammer which consume. The wizard has a regenerating mana pool. It just feels like a better system to me.

If it wasn't for the online component, particularly the auction house, I'd say that this game could be released TODAY, because the only bug, although a very serious bug, that I found so far was in the auction house.

I encountered no technical issues whatsoever, the game ran fine. I truly believe, that we may see this game released early february, based on current build!

Played the beta. Loved it! Loved the changes they made to Diablo 3! The game is a lot more fun than Diablo 2! Played the beta a couple of weeks ago! The changes they made to the beta also made it more fun! 1 week and 2 days more! Too long…

Diablo 1: The 3 prime evils are already trapped in soulstones, but they are imperfect prisons. Diablo manipulates various people, creates the Skeleton King Leoric and takes up residence under Tristram. Our hero kills him and jams Diablo's soulstone into his forehead to trap him within himself (either as an act of sacrifice or insanity).

Diablo 2: Our hero is now The Wanderer and sets about finding and freeing the other 2 prime evils; Mephesto and Baal. A new hero arises and kills Diablo and Mephesto. Baal escapes and seeks the world stone in the hopes of corrupting it. The world stone limits the power of humans (being decended from angels and daemons means humans have the potential to surpass both), stops either side from waging full war on Sanctuary (both physically and via influence). With it corrupted humanity would side with the hells almost by default. Our new hero kills Baal, but fails to stop the corruption. Tyrial destroys the stone and leaves everyone wondering wtf happens next for 10 years.

Diablo 3: 20 years after D2. Most people who experienced the previous events are either dead or regarded as madmen (or are indeed are actually mad) so no one really takes the stories seriously. Somehow the plot hole of the entire populace of Kurast being either displaced or killed goes largely unnoticed.
Anyway… A ‘star’ falls from the sky and happens to hit whats left of the old cathedral Diablo lived under back in D1. This reawakens the dead and the Skeleton King (why- I have no idea). After defeating the king, but not (yet) finding the star the beta ends and MAJOR PLOT TWIST
So far the only confirmed evils are the ones not killed in previous games (they're gathering power before invading Sanctuary or some such).
Enter ANOTHER new hero. While in the past games you had abilities despite the worldstone's e­xistence, this time you have abilities because it's been destroyed (waaa-). There are also hints that either you get to choose to side with heaven or hell, or that the story forces you in one direction (most likely heaven).

Well done Blizzard… you have taken the great parts of Diablo one and two and made improvements (such as, character development and changes without having to re-roll a new character)

The story thus far has been awesome as well, I am deep into Act 3 and am really enjoying it, and you can bulk the story out even more if you take your time and listen to all the NPCs etc and their “extra” conversations give the story more depth.

Addition of crafters is great as it means you can actually have good gear in all slots instead of running around with one “let down” piece.

Overall a great game, good story and was worth the wait. Thanks Blizzard!
