YOU SHUT YOUR WHORE MOUTH

Diablo 3 will consume my life, nostalgic of what D2 was during my high school years.
For me, the anticipation for Diablo has been through the roof. It's the only game that will bring together dozens of my old gaming friends, RL friends, and family in unanimous agreement to play together.-

This is modern day Norman Rockwell.

Not to troll, but you get that it's okay for different people to prioritize different things, right? He said he'll be playing with lots of friends and family. Who are you to judge how people spend time together?

The truth is, the reality seldom lives up to the fantasy and the anticipation of an event is generally always more thrilling/fearful/etc than the event itself.
Diablo 3 will be a great game, no doubt, but should it take priority over everything else in your life? I'd say no, it definitely shouldn't.
Oh, unless you're 15 or whatever in which case crack on, sunshine.-

So true... I'm going in to a self induced coma, I have much more fun in there.
-

-
But not Max Payne 3 on PC...the only version that matters :(
-
Max Payne the multiplayer cover shooter isn't really Max Payne.
-
So will Diablo III live up to fanboy expectations or are we going to hear a lot of griping about how dumbed down it is, how the isometric view doesn't hold up with modern games, etc?
I played the demo, other than some spiffed up graphics, it's pretty much Diablo 2. Not that this is a bad thing.-
I expect lots of inflated opinions from both sides.
-
Pretty much Diablo 2?
Everybody who complained about Diablo 3 complained that it wasn't enough like Diablo 2! -
-
isn't that all mobile gaming? I'd say the minority of games are offline and not "monetized".
nearly everything is online all the time, and a HUGE amounts of games are offering microtransactions, drawing in HUGE audiences that appreciate the options.
if you think it's corporate bullshit, then you have issues with a LOT of the corporations that provide games.-

The Mann Co store is far worse than the D3 auction house. Valve sells you the items directly, and forces you to buy keys for the rarest items. In d3 every item you can buy comes from another player that found it by playing the game.
I'm not going to use the RMAH (so long as gold is a viable currency), but I think it's the best "microtransaction" system I've seen.
-
Diablo 2 has always had a strong trading component. I'd be extremely concerned if they were selling items, but in essence they're still keeping it as a player-driven economy. Very wise decision.
-
Being able to buy things is not what makes farmville terrible.

Half life 1 didn't have a massive hype train, did it?
-
It was pretty hyped. But then again, those were the days before everyone was plugged-in 24/7 and constantly bombarded by Twitter, Facebook, and all that bullshit.

I remember people getting butthurt about the initial state of the multiplayer (saying it was Unreal bad in terms fo lag and generally unplayable and that people should just stick to Quakeworld and Quake2 instead...or netQuake if that was your bag).

Honestly.. I think Diablo III must be one of the biggest game releases I've seen on the Shack. In recent years, with the exception of Duke Nukem Forever (for completely different reason), I haven't seen this many people all talking about the same game in a long, long time. Even more importantly... I haven't seen a game for which so many Shackers are definitely buying and counting the days till release.
-
I haven't seen any info about Game of Thrones: The Game at all. GRRM gave it his stamp of approval so it should be good... right?
-
I predict it will be a steaming pile of shit--a popular franchise cash-grab to the max.
-
I read they started working on it before the Show existed so it may not be such a cash grab after all.

I think I'm solo'ing through normal, then I need to meet up with more Shackers :D

This feels like this year's "Portal Kombat" (except that Max Payne 3 on PC doesn't come out until May 29 in the US, and June 1 in Europe).
