I got the game now all I need to do is upgrade my prehistoric rig so I can actually run it. Bah. It will be worth it eventually. One upgraded cpu and graphics card later..
So i noticed upon installing and playing the game early this morning.... WTF HAPPENED TO THE ULTRA GRAPHICS SETTINGS???? the beta had Ultra graphics setting for shadows, i figured there would be an ultra graphics setting for everything in full game release . Yet you can only set graphics to high and they even removed Ultra on shadows !!! FAIL . This games graphics are pretty shitty I need ultra settings to be happy playing this as a new release game. right now it looks 10 years old
I've been playing video games since about 1990 and I never found Diablo to be anything special. Actually, I always thought that it is repetetive and boring. Anyway, I saw a lot of gamplay videos of Diablo III, as there is so much hype around it, and I have to say it looks like total crap, a game that you buy from Steam for 10$. I guess most people are amazed by constant clickfest and gazillion monsters that you have to kill constantly. For some reason, I don't like it.
From what I've been reading, the wait has just begun.

Diablo 3 is just like Diablo 2, its a good game, but nothing extraordinary or ground breaking.
if you like mindless clicking with good graphics and horrible voice acting this game is for you.
I did buy it today, even though I think its a waste of $59 just like Starcraft 2, only because I played both the original Diablo and Starcraft years ago. Thus, SC2 and D3 are nothing new for me.
But...it is Blizzard and they do make SOLID games.
However, I can see for the young folks who never played the originals how both games would be exciting.
Still.....the game media are just a bunch of nutty overhypers.
There are quite a few action rpgs to choose from. Some of them have pretty good graphics and you can get for much cheaper, so I'm not sure of the appeal here.
I saw some amazing videos awhile back so the graphics and art style appeal to me, but the real money auction house is something I don't think I like. It would be more compelling if there were no classes. There are game implications to the auction house, aside from making a few bucks here and there that I don't necessarily like. I guess I'll play wait and see and let you guys be my ginny pigs.
I don't really know what a Diablo fan was waiting to be in this game and "didn't delivery". I purchased the game just because I liked D2 single player ( was not a big fan of multyplayer in D2) , but oh boy! I am having a blast in D3 single or multyplayer. People were talking that they don't like the atmosfer in D3, not much skills , easy game , etc . Really? Ok fine, don't know what were you expecting, but the game IS FUN. Is "something else" ! The quality IS there, graphics, story , fights, skills, etc. I played for a full 7 hours since the servers were opened , and now, if you would excuse me, I am going to eat, drink a coffe, and call my 2 friends to start.. the killings
One think I want to add! The BETA ( act 1 till skeleton king ) was .. pathethic in comparation with the live game. Lot's of changes, even till skeleton king, I noticed that there were more mobs, harders , bosses , drops and such.
PS: Use auction house! Lot's of rare items , very cheap , which will help you finish the normal difficulty much easier

Never got into the Diablo craze until late in the game. Played 1 and 2 but not to the max like a few friends I know. Wife wanted the annual for WoW and I got a free copy of D3 with it so now we're both happy! Like the game so much I'm thinking about getting a copy for my Battle.net account so my daughter and I can play together! Good job Blizzard! Oh btw make that 3 gamers happy!

So this is game has a singleplayer side to it yet for some reason the servers are full for the singleplayer part of it?! come on blizz really? the fact that i can get lag spikes playing by myself aswell is just ridiculous, please torchlight don't make this mistake on launch.
Servers are down all the time! The wait is not fuckin over
It's ok, you can play single player offline while waiting... oh wait...

Have to love having a single player game be online only. Good call there Blizzard.
I love such comments! Are you online now? Yes you are! So the millions who bought the game. Blizzard is thinking long term with D3, if you are aware of that term. Maybe NOT all gamers can be online and play the game, YET , but in few years, the majority will be online! So if you are a business man, you would prefer the minority or the majority?

Hmm, the words "fuck this" spring to mind. Could be doing any of the following:-
1. Watch the new version of True Grit or finish watching Season 6 of Lost which one of my buddies lent me. (Reviews of these titles have been putting me off slightly).
2. Log back into wow (if the whole of battlenet isnt affected, havent checked yet) and put one or two of my 10 level 85's through LFR (deathknight needs a bit more gearing up).
3. Go up the pub and ogle the attractive barmaids.
4. Pammy palm and her five sisters are getting restless! (Appently they can delay the onset of prostate cancer if I reach retirement age).
5. Early night (tbh I am knackered, one more shift to go!!)
