II will not play another RPG untill Diablo 3 is released
I have stoped playing any type of RPG for 5 months now... i just cant find anything that excites me... my last great hope is Diablo 3.. After all that was the game that got me statted in online games, Back in 2000 (Meaing diablo 2) i have played about a dozen games since and only a few have stuck with me longer then a year.. But diablo. was the grand daddy of them all for me..

I'm in the beta right now. There is very little actual content available for testing compared to the overall game, so with that understanding...I'm not sure why they haven't released it. Everything works and seems to work well. Each class has unique mechanics and a unique play style. Being able to sell your stuff, DE your stuff and then craft new stuff went pretty smoothly. Even the companions worked out pretty well. Their pathing is a little dumb though...you can get them stuck on chairs and stuff. That is, if you don't destroy all the chairs in front of you.
I could be totally wrong, but I think people are going to be pretty happy with this game.
I can not remember winning or losing a single debate on the internet.
What will you do if Diablo 3 is cancelled?
15 Year old game design excites you more than anything Bioware or Bethesda can come up with?
Haha why are you sad that only a few of your games lasted years? I'm thankful if I get a weeks worth entertainment out of these modern games, especially considering shooters have now just opted for single play through campaigns.
That said, there have been some great RPGs released, have you given skyrim or the witcher 2 a shot yet?
So OP you will/have passed up Skyrim, DS3, DA2, DE:HR and other RPG's I've forgot to list to wait on a Hack&Slash dungeon crawler?
OK.

I don't think you actually liked RPG's to begin with if Diablo 2 was the last one to get you excited. We have had TONS of RPG's that have come out since then that are very well done and really fun to play. But an RPG that holds you for over a year? That is a very very hard expectation to come by. The only type of game that can possibly last that long other than player run NWN servers, are MMORPG's. Not normal hack and slash type games like D2, and TQ unless you like grinding the same boss to get an item, or the same group of enemies to get a rune for months and months.
Maybe you can try Mythos Global. Its CBT will be this Dec. 1-5 so I think you still have time to get a CBT key and try the game. Just type Mythos Global on google. Its gameplay is pretty much like Diablo. Or perhaps a slightly MMOfied Diablo. But it's still the addicting hack-and-slash, with uber loot system.
Just get Skyrim OP, D3 doesn't even have a release date yet.
I don't think D3 will be that good - at all.

Sounds like maybe you aren't really an RPG fan if the Diablo series is what gets you wet. Great games, but they aren't really RPG's.
You make me like charity
Your missing an epic game in Skyrim and I heard that Batman AC is kik azz too. Imo your missing out.

The exact definition of Diablo series is hack n slash, not rpg. You could say maybe its a hack n slash action-rpg cause it has elements of rpg but defenitely not rpg since Diablo elements of rpg stick with getting new equipment and small doses of character advancement . The rest rpg elements that define the rpg's are absent , meaning live persistent worlds,heavy interaction with loads of npc's role play etc etc etc .
Yea im a bit Old shcool. to me a fun game with great gameplay thats entertaining is more then just pretty graphics
NO!!!!!!
Thanks for the report!

The RNG gods rolled the dice I guess. I really think it's all down to luck of the draw.

Yes... im just fed up with being let down.. So im not taking the chance of spending more $$ and being that closer to saying screw them all
I'm playing Torchlight while I wait. Ironic, I know, but you might give it a try to soothe the agony.
I want a mmorpg where people have gone through misery, have gone through school stuff and actually have had sex even. -sagil
I did play Mythos on the ENG server for about 4 months. i really liked my gageteer.
The bulk of the game (so far) is still hack-n-slash. There is a story line for characters though. There is also a fair amount of interaction with NPCs, notably your companions that you first meet in the dungeons. All the interactions are fully voiced, so it works pretty well.
You also have character development in picking your active and passive abilities. Then you have runes on top of that as well. You're also gathering supplies to help your Blacksmith improve their skills.
I don't see anyone actually role playing in this game like they might in a single player RPG or in an mmorpg. There are some RPG mechanics, but it doesn't have the feel of an RPG, if that makes sense.

I dont play for hours on end day to day.. i have a wife and 2 kids.. a 10yr and 13yr. along with a job i invest about 45 to 60 hours per week into so, i only play about 8 to 10 hours a week. so expecting over a year worth of play is about right. hell i played COh/CoV off and on for 6 years.
Diablo 3 does excite me... But i am a RPG fan... my first really great RPG? Final fantasy 7 i owned the day it was released and it cost me a motor cycle. that was the day i had my first bike stolen because i was in such a rush to by it. i left the keys in the ignition DoH!
Yes! Torchlight is a good game. i enjoyed it. but being a 100% single player game with no MMO or multiplayer pissed me off.. and waiting for T2 is like waiting for D3
Im not digging the First person hack n slash..
i found the diablo series to be a boring hack and slash game with very little rpg. diablo felt like the game was all about hoarding items. i was more interested in games like baldurs gate, neverwinter nights, final fantasy and the elder scrolls. The mordern day version of diablo feels like it was created back in 2003 and looks way out of date when you compare it to something like mass effect or skyrim.
