Starcraft II and Diablo III
 

Is anybody looking forward to this? I think I have to try these games.

i think ive been waiting for SC2 half my life, since the first one I beat LOL

Starcraft really is one of the most popular and exciting strategy games.

The movie Starship Troopers resembles this game a little bit.

Oh yeah!

we need to wait

:2 cents::2 cents:

Yes, we do need to wait.

Starcraft is still one of the most popular competitive online games in the world (since it was released in 98), and SC2 has been talked about for a LONG damn time. I played both SC2 and Diablo 3 at Blizzcon in 08 and they were both fun. I was a HUGE fan of SC1 - but SC2 feels like an ENTIRELY different game, which I didn't necessarily like. Diablo 3 is going to be amazing though.

Diablo III will be legalized crack online :1orglaugh

I am in anticipation. I want to try Diablo III.

qft

That game is going to be like a giant gaming geek beacon, people will flock in drooooves...

Following that Blizzard's unannounced MMO will also dominate the market...

Interesting about Blizzard... I used to be in the gaming industry and got a chance to talk to Rob Pardo at a few event parties and whatnot. He says the trick to producing such a high quality product like they do is not rounds of polish at the end. Instead they polish everything as they go then at the end when they go to put the final round of polish on it's above and beyond what everyone else is going...

It's why they'll leave a game in beta for 2 years :P

Getting my SC2 beta key soon...

Not much longer now. It drops on July 27th. :thumbsup

ehh, probably just stick to World of Warcraft for now.

There's one thing I really don't understand. What takes so long making Diablo I datadisk.

where do i download it ?

i loved the first diablo games so much, that i'll probably have to avoid getting the 3rd. lol. game son the computer are bad news for me. i sit down to work and next thing you know i'm clicking in for "one quick round". i'm bad enough with the xbox, at least i can pry myself away from the tv to get something done once in a while.

Diablo III I've been waiting for this I forgot how long 4-6 years?

I just got 2 beta keys to share with my friends, I'm in the beta for 1 month.

I can't wait for Diablo III... Huge fan of the games... Best game ever!!!

And will most likely be a while longer.

Diablo is not an online game is it?

i need now time to work not games play

I'm beta testing StarCraft 2 now. One word - AWESOME! It's alot like the old one with updated graphics.

It's a breath of fresh air that a decent RTS came out. Blizzard, I thank you for that. EA Games completely train wrecked the command and conquer serious with CNC 4. That was god awful!

The beta for StarCraft closes shortly, it should be available in stores sometime next month

Spanx!

i love those both games

Diablo 2 was arguably the best online game ever made, it achieved near perfection in playability and addiction levels, not to mention crossing over into the real world buying and selling of game items for real money

the long wait for Diablo 3 is probably because it is such a hard act to follow, and World of Warcraft took the attention for those years. Diablo was different than the World of Warcraft type game, something about it made it so much more appealing to many in a more repetitive simplicity way than Wow, but it was that repetitiveness that was a large part of making it so great, we all ran through the same levels, the better players had them all memorized, yet memorizing the 'quests' made them even more fun, and repeat playability was incredible, you could spend weeks playing the same Baal runs and not tire of it, the thrill of the drops made you strive for more and more

truly the crack of video games, as someone else mentioned, I hope to be independently wealthy enough to be able to retire from all work for months so that my computer time will not get distracted away from Diablo3 (that is if Blizzard doesn't fuck it up :1orglaugh)

diablo 2 rocks:)

Yo.. I had 5 level 99 US East realm characters on D2. Took mad hours for that. Thank god I lost that game years ago and found this wonderful business. :disgust

Check Youtube.. they have some trailers of the beta with the developers narrating. :thumbsup

i lost weeks of my life to starcraft 1, my favourite game of all time, i really hope SC 2 is not a let down... especially after 8 years dev!!

Yes Starcraft 2 will end up killing lots of Asians

Players on the Asian servers at battle net and Asian/Korean players generally are best players.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

:thumbsup No doubt

I hope they don't screw up the delicate chemistry of perfection that D2 had with the runes and armor and charms that made the game so compelling

I was just looking at this site where you can buy D2 items and it brought back many memories: http://d2items.com/buy/west-ladder/?show=discountsonly

starcraft 2 rocks! been playing it for a few days

Waiting for Diablo III, played the previous versions!

I'm staying well away from Diablo III when it comes out. I was sensible enough to do so when Diablo II was released. The first game of the series took up more than enough of my time :)
It truly is like crack :)

is Diablo III finally out???

it is, but it is so good, I'm thinking it is time to enjoy rather than worry about work and money and people and all the day to day grind, being immersed in a game like Diablo is greatness

:1orglaugh

LOL they stand no where near World of Warcraft! The gaming community think they are all a joke. Im sort of a gamer... I have several 80s n WoW...

can't comment on Diablo3 because it isn't out yet, but I played Diablo2 and Wow quite a bit and Wow was ok, but it never came close to the greatness of Diablo 2 in my opinion

No shit! :2 cents::2 cents:

I am still waiting for anything new of Jagged Alliance.
Jagged Alliance is one of the best strategy games ever.

Yeah.. I do recall all the duping going on as well. Too many sleepless nights on realms.

Next year supposedly. Classic Blizzard release date.

Same company makes em all though. Monopolized crack online. :thumbsup

Damn, I remember playing D2 it seems like 10 years ago ... I think it was 1.09 they really did some interesting changes (and making power-leveling a lot harder). I just loaded up my toon with magic find and ran that cave instance in the first act for hours.

Other fond memories include the pre-nerf cow level with my javazon. Just gather up about 50 cows and hit the front one with Lightning Strike (or whatever the spell was called) and loot.

And of course getting a reliable TP sorc and running Baal over and over and over and over and over ... "damn, only 802308203482038234xp to 99!"

The hacks/dupes really ruined things, it was fun but really just a treasure hunt.

I agree, if it wasn't for the hacking and duping we'd probably all still be playing, hopefully they figure out how to keep diablo3 clean of hacks

The screenshots sure look impressive.
