Seems like I've been waiting for this day for 10 years.. and now that it's here I'm not even preordered. I probably won't play the game at launch. The open weekend of Beta really made the game feel lackluster to me. The story felt repackaged. The action felt... different than I remembered. I didn't feel nostalgic the way I did for SC2. The game just doesn't look or feel like a 'newer' diablo game. It just feels like a new game.
And maybe it's all the cooldowns and all the pseudo mana bars.. but it that new game feels a lot like WoW. A very dumbed down, slightly faster paced WoW. Without PvP.

Why am I not more excited?
You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
There probably isn't any meaning in life. Perhaps you can find something interesting to do while you are alive. Like how you found that flower. Like how I found you.
Buttons aren't toys.

Re: Why am I not more excited?
I was not excited enough to even try to get into the beta.
I think it's mostly that I've grown older, and new games just don't it as much for me anymore.
I have not played any D3 yet, or pre-ordered.

Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.
Re: Why am I not more excited?
I see that Bliz is going to make a system where you can sell your items for real money rather than making it something that will get you banned... So maybe that will make you more excited? Question is which one of you will make this your new full time job?
Re: Why am I not more excited?
Maybe I should make that diablo 3 nerds website that we were playing with a few years back and turn our nerds into the go to place for the best possible items and information and we can all make some money on it...
Re: Why am I not more excited?
Not a big fan of the idea of an auction house, but will still buy and play the game. After playing the beta my expectations actually went up a little.
Sure, the game is different as hell, cooldowns, mana-replacers, weird skill and runesystem, but to me it felt like diablo when I ran around and killed monsters with my baba. That's what's gonna make me play, the feeling. Skills, items, auction houses, runes, ability points, it's all gravy, or lack thereof.

Installed... now we wait... I thought the beta experience was excellent fun and not only very nostalgic, but very new, too.. And it looks great! Should be a hoot for quite a while, IMO.Bane wrote:Not a big fan of the idea of an auction house, but will still buy and play the game.

Re: Why am I not more excited?
Just brought the game with me home. The relationship may have to be set on hold, but I promised my GF this weekend is for "us", and that means me and her and not me and ol'Diablo ![Sad :(](./images/smilies/icon_sad.gif)
Installing now. Me baba, me whirl.
