Blizzard puts up a new teaser on their homepage - DIABLO III

[Guitar Woman]

Is this like Silent Hill 2, Splatterhouse, and Mass Effect, where I got a joke version of the game that some jerk planted for me to play?

Also I remember enjoying a similar game released by Eidos where instead of endlessly using the same attack over and over again you could actually string combos together and create your own spells with talismens and shit. Full 3D enemies with detachable limbs who all whithered awesomely when they died, and really cool environments that were so huge I actually got lost a few times. I think you could also man up with other fags over the internet as different characters from the game, but I only played the demo so I'm not really sure. I forget what it was called, but I have no idea why it was never popular and Diablo has LEGIONS of rabid fanboys ready to tear me limb from limb when I call their game simplistic and repetitive.

[Guitar Woman]

Revenant, that was it.

Fuck yeah.

[Tadao]

You feel tore apart? No wonder you give up on games so quickly.

[Guitar Woman]

The idea was that when I said Diablo was a hulking pile of puke you acted like you wanted to murder me and subsequently mutilate my body.

Which I've found to be standard fare amongst Blizzard fans.

Anyway, guys, we should totally play Revenant sometime. It's awesome.

[Tadao]

Wow you're a drama queen. I'll try not to hurt your feelings emo kid.

[Guitar Woman]

I think you're just in denial about how bad Diablo is.

INTERVENTION

[Tadao]

Now GW, you know we can't talk about this anymore. You'll start to think that I have multiplied into a legion that is wants to kill you and mutilate your body.

[Guitar Woman]

I think you're part of it, certainly.

I don't see what the problem here is, my opinion shouldn't affect how you feel about something unless you're insecure.

I'm actually pretty excited for D3 after this thread prompted me to watch all the media for it, anyway. Been a while since I've played a decent dungeon crawler, and perhaps this one will be MIRACULOUSLY better than the original.

[executioneer]

the original diablo is pretty bad by today's standards, but it was pretty cool 11 years ago

Drama queen.

[Guitar Woman]

TADAO ANGRY

TADAO SMASH

WITH RUDE NAMES

[Tadao]

I don't really see why you would think I'm upset. I said your opinion is shit and you give up on games to easily because you don't have any skill. This whole world you created in your head where you are after you in masses really shows a lot about you.

[Guitar Woman]

I played Diablo for like, 7 hours before boredom overcame me. That's a long time to spend with something you hate.

You keep going on about how I have no SKILL, like someone who refuses to play Smash Bros with items turned on, but all it takes to be sucessful in Diablo is clicking on something you want dead until it falls into little bitty pieces and then moving on to the next creeping monstrosity and repeating yourself ad-verbatim, all the while drip feeding yourself with restore health potions so you don't fall over dead. If things get really bad you might have to teleport back to town and re-stock yourself with the shit before you resume the murder.

Clearly, this is an incredibly deep and strategic experience, and I have no idea what I'm speaking of.

Also, if you're not enraged by what I'm saying, why are you bringing personal attacks into the equation, Zomboid?

WELL, YOU'RE OBVIOUSLY CRAZY AND HAVE CRAFTED SOME FANTASY IN YOUR HEAD ABOUT THINGS AND BLAH BLAH BLAH. ALSO YOU JUST REALLY SUCK AT THE GAME, THAT'S WHY YOU HATE IT.

[Tadao]

I accept your apology.

I've actually got a copy of Revenent in my desk drawer, but the cd is somehow messed up and when I install it it's missing files. Shame; great game.
I still kinda prefer Diablo, though, and the WoW look makes me pissed off. Warcraft 3 looked dumb enough as is; don't drag Diablo into the depths of gay.

[Chojin]

i will only play games that are brown and grey, for as long as I shall live, because i hear that's what the real world looks like.

diablo 1 required no strategy and was a click-fest. diablo 2 was a loot-based game that requires only enough strategy to decide what it is you're going to wear to prom.

[LordSappington]

Games don't always have to be completely complicated and have god knows how many play strategies and all that to be fun you know. I never hear you complain about Street Fighter or River City Ransom. OMG BUTTON MASHFEST

[Chojin]

What the hell? Who ever claimed that either of those games require no strategy?

[Guitar Woman]

he just did, obviously.

[executioneer]

diablo needed some strategy, esp. if you got the butcher quest right at the start :/

[LordSappington]

I just found a wall with gates and a door, closed the door and fired arrows at his face.
And Chojin, I wasn't saying anyone did say that. I'm saying that there are other games out there considered to be the best games ever, and those aren't ragged on for lack of strategy.
Also, anyone remember that blind guy who dominated on Mortal Kombat; Fatal1ty? How the hell did he play the game?

[Chojin]

Fatal1ty isn't blind, and everyone with half a brain does make fun of games that require no skill to play.

Hope you had fun at Otakon, what did you get in the dealer's room? ^_^ ^_^ ^_^

[Fathom Zero]

I'm also sure Johnathan Wendel is a Quake dude, too.

I wonder if he's any good at Enemy Territories.

[LordSappington]

If it isn't Fatal1ty, then who is it? I KNOW I heard about some obscenely awesome blind Kombat player.

[Guitar Woman]

Like Mortal Kombat is impossible to play, you just crouch in the fucking corner and uppercut for 2 minutes.

I've said this a few times before but Mortal Kombat is also horrible.
