The Diablo III Hype Thread (PC Gaming is dead, blah, blah, 8.5@GS)

AAAA

anything else is wrong.

Amazing thread btw. Legendary thread for a legendary game.

Witchdoctor's my favorite beta class. A#1

I've only played the Wizard but he's a ton of fun. Was thinking about rolling Witch Doctor or Barbarian next.

I'm just letting everyone know right now that this is the game that will probably turn me into a hermit. I'm definitely buying a gaming PC for it. Aint no ****in way I'm missing out on D3.

The game can't be that hardware taxing based on what I've seen. I think it's pretty much designed so anybody can run it. I could be horibbly wrong however.

Great job TC...

Cant wait for this game!!!

I vote 9.0, I like Barbarian the most though. I don't need any stupid magic or anything I just want to hulk smash people.

Safe AAA as usual. Cannot wait for this so much that i've avoided all media about it (even the OP's post which looked awesome done btw).

GIEF NAO !!

Based on the history of Diablo scoring, and the history Gamespot has scoring PC titles in general I voted 8.0, 8.5 ... I think it will be in the 8.7-8.9 range on this website. (coming from a guy who's been playing beta)

YEAAAAHHHHHHHHH BABY!!!

BLIZZARD GONNA DELIVER!

Awesome Hype Thread! Even though there's another one. :P

Soo pumped for this game I've been waiting a while. My prediction is a 9.0 exactly. I'm getting it regardless though, have my CE Pre-ordered! :D

Good Hype thread

Either way my current PC wont run it. It's from the early 2000s. And even for it's time it wasn't very powerful.

I'd be doing the same if I were in the same boat as you (if I was still just a PS3 player and didn't have a PC, the one I had before I got my new rig was from early 2000s as well :P), Luckily if this is all you're gonna want to play (and nothing really more demanding than this) it really shouldn't cost you much at all.

Though even if it came out for PS3 as well and I didn't have my rig, I'd still at least get a PC (half decent desktop or laptop) to play it on. :P

I'm so getting that CE edition, and AAA all the way. Heil68

I already got my collectors edition preordered for me :D Diablo 3 gonna be the RPG of this generation.

After playing the beta, I am confident the game will be awesome and provide years of enjoyment, just as DII did. With that said, I have a few concerns, though most things seem to be an improvement from DII. While I think the game will be an improvement, I don't see it having the same impact on me that DII had, coming from DI. But that's ok, it doesn't mean it will be any less awesome! :P

Oh and does anyone know why the website has damage percentages and such for skills, but the in-game skill screen does not?

It will definitely be worth it, whatever I end up paying. It's ****ing Diablo. It only comes around once every 1000 years (or atleast it feels like that long!).

So...is Diablo 3 a mmorpg or can we do single player?

lol and here I thought DIII was going to do away with hidden numbers :P. Just last year I learned things I never knew about the game, such as crushing blow caps at a certain amount and so on. Thanks for the help! I love number crunching in D :P.

no hype at all.

If it turns out great that's fine and I will enjoy it, but it doesn't help when the animations on characters are borderline awful, for example the run animation carries no momentum it looks so damn cardboard.

This game has been in developer (hell) *pun intended* for so long that I'm just not sure anymore, it could be a high quality game but that little beta they released didn't change my mind at all.

So you are nto buying it because characters don't run the way you like? :P

Can you elaborate what you do not like in DIII?

Look at this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KhcBV6gDUcA That's incredibly clunky looking, when he stops running he stops like a robot, there is just no life in the movements. now blizzard is a huge studio, with all the resources at their disposal they could have done a much better job than this. Hell Diablo 2 has more life in the characters.

All I'm saying is this is a big game. Prolly best to not write it off based on the Demon Hunter's running animation.

[QUOTE="NAPK1NS"]

[QUOTE="ReadingRainbow4"] Well, I guess what I'm trying to say is the whole thing just feels incredibly cheap. it's like the animations were canned from WoW or something, I don't really know how to explain it.

[QUOTE="ReadingRainbow4"][QUOTE="NAPK1NS"]There's a crap ton of animating in this game, man. There's 30+ skills per character all with their own animations. You simply don't notice **** like that when you start playing. Very different from a YouTube video to actually having your hands on the game.

I feel like a lot of diablo clones go for an overrealistic feel and end up feeling clunky and cheesy. I am glad DIII feels and looks a lot like DII (to me anyway).

I think it will get a 9.5

This game is going to fail WORST than Duke Nukem Forever. Duke Nukem Forever was revealed in 1997, and it didn't live up to its 12-year hype.

Diablo 3 was revealed in 2001. It will not deliver and meet its hype.

Sweet thread. :)

Kinda want to make my own thread, too...there are a couple of pretty cool games coming out. Of course me being a lazy @$$ I doubt it. :P

My hype is AA-AAA, it's lingering on the two so I don't know where I fall. I guess I'll go for the AAA since I KNOW that's how it will be. :D

I enjoyed the beta, and the game is easy enough for the casual consolites who review pc games.

Will score 9+ for sure.

This is an amazing hype thread! Nice job!

I'm so pumped for this game! :D My hype is sitting at AAA at the moment.

[QUOTE="SolidTy"]

I can't wait for Diablo 3!

I remember buying Diablo when that launched back in the day, and of course, Diablo 2 playing with all my buds when it was the rage. :P

Although there was a bad ass Hype thread made by Sterb a while back, I'm happy to post in this one too. :P

NAPK1NS

... we'll let the community decide? I dunno' how to handle this one... took a crap load of time :cry:.

Glad to see everyone's voting high! I'm pumped, too. The beta is great.

I'm fine with using your thread. You've done an amazing job with it. :)

Plus, I'm assuming Diablo III will be released sometime during the summer, and I'll be out of the country then, and thus, unable to update the thread.

Feel free to use any of the stuff from my thread as well, if you want. It looks like you've got everything covered though. :P
