It still doesn't have a firm release date. Anytime from Summer to end of year I would think. Problem is beta testing tends to s l o w games down. AT the moment you can pre-order. Usually based on Pre-order the games compnay gets an idea of launch numbers. They can then plan how much server infrastruture they need to accomodate the players. With that plan in place and having fixed beta bugs they go to launch. I would be very suprised if NCsoft released in the same month as Diablo3, you would have too many players having to choose which AAA hi fantasy online game to go for, and Diablo 3 is likely to be a hit.
Diablo 3 is a very veyr shitty game ir eally dont think it will be sold mroe than GW2 at all it the same stupid mashing game play every time with the same craptastic story written by a 2 year old,
My money is on Diablo 3 for hi fantasy RPG, there is more to it than button mashing, and I think Blizz have got it more or less right in the end.
Realistically gamers can only play so many online games, and make so many game purchases. We end up making choices. For me Diablo 3 and SWTOR will be enough online gaming. I also do handheld gaming , so make some game purchases there too.
I think callign Diablo an RPG is more an insult than anything else, the game consist on smashing your face agaisnt the mouse and getting anything that drops, SWG i cba to log on anymore same boring shit as always nothing new about it. At least guild wars 2 brign new elements and the RvR sounds like fun i miss DAoC
No, there is actually a lot of hi fantasy RPG in Diablo3. Part of the reason why it has taken Blizz so long, I think, is because they make it a hybrid grame between mmo and solo RPG/dungeon crawler. That's why I think it sits on similar teritory with GW2 as online RPG, but not an mmorpg in the sense say SWTOR or WoW are.

Uhh Diablo is an RPG / dungeon crawler. Why is it not an rpg? all other dungeon crawlers are as much as about loot as Diablo. Granted baldurs gate series had lot more engaging story but that doesn't mean Diablo is any less of an RPG.
Quests would had led you there as well just saying it is not a secret exploration type of game....just dynamic so if you didn't pickup the quest and you enter the area and start killing those mobs it dynamically gives you the quest...just saying. It is very linear.
"The King and the Pawn return to the same box at the end of the game"
LOL @ SW:TOR player complaining about end-game. I quit SWTOR early on, but my core of friends who still play have blown through the end game content of SWTOR and are left with a watered-down PvP experience to grasp at.
Not that GW2 has much in terms of end game (at least from what I've heard) but at least the return of DAoC-inspired WvW will keep me hooked for awhile
This game is becoming very interesting to me. I've never played the original, and the payment model is much different than anything I've experienced in an mmo before. It seems to have worked out pretty well for the original, though.
Be careful, on these forums, anything positive and you'll probably be pounced on.
Should probably ask GW1 veterans how they have felt being fleeced since 2005 with the GW1 P2W cash shop.
Homes tripple reverse mortaged to buy +10% loot drop chance to be the best at PvP in the world.
Sold own children to slavery to pay for that extra character slot.
(Obviously sarcastic)
Prostituted myself during the days to pay for the nights....well at least went to work and collected a paycheck.
