Yeah I am looking forward to D3, Update to graphics, enviroments, and change of classes is nice, Diablo has always been a good game to jump in, kill some time on, find some crazy random loot drop, all without a big ol raid party!
Didn't see a forum for Grim Dawn or TitanQuest so you guys can hang out here if you like.
Now, kidding aside, I understand not liking certain features, art direction, or other decisions made regarding this game, but really, doesn't it get boring infesting every single thread with "D3 SUX! <OTHER GAME> IS AWESOME!"? Are any of these games being released on the same day as D3? If not, can't they all coexist?
Really, I'm glad there is a reasonable veriety of games to check out and that their apparent/assumed release dates give me the chance to give my full attention to each one. To be fair, I wouldn't know about a lot of these titles if it weren't for some of the posts that have crept into the D3 forums. So, to be clear, this is not a criticism of well reasoned conversation about game features and how they contrast across titles, but really, if all you have to contribute is the equivalent of "D3 sux!", "Blizzard r dumb!", "Activision is the devil", or some variation thereof, why not just move on let a person be happy that something they've been anticipating is near release?

Cannot wait to play this with some friends. Although, it does hurt to see a partial necromancer model (Jordan) in game that uses poison nova.
Haha, same here. Used to be really mad at the RMAH and the skill system... but over time I figured out where the skill system was going, it's really cool actually. And I'll just play Hardcore. Played the open beta, loved it.
It's Jondarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, btw.
And I seriously do not understand how anyone can possibly like Path of Exile. Because putting everything into one skill in a 5/6-linked weapon and having almost no skill originality whatsoever because everyone uses the same skils (literally. Who doesn't benefit from Phase Run? Flicker Strike?) is fun. And then banging everything on the head one-shotting them. For 3 difficulties... in an act that's 90% trees and monkeys. Monkeys.

Give me a break.
I agree 100% Torchlight II will be twice the game that PoE is, and Diablo is twice the game that Torchlight II is.
Diablo 3 will have something that you wont have in TL2, Exile, you name it. The legendary Blizzard cinematics and cut-scenes, it's propably the most exciting feature in D3 for me, unlocking the chapter cinematics Do not tell me the game wont have them, DO NOT.
Torchlight will be cheaper, have mod support, won't be permanently online, and is being made by some of the original team.
Therefore, Torchlight is more the 'sequel to the greatest online hack 'n slash ever' than Diablo 3 has any chance of being, even if the worlds are different.
Heck, even Path to Exile is pulling it off better than Blizzard. Path to Exile may be a somewhat different beast, but at it's core it feels very similar. It even feels dark and gritty, unlike Diablo 3.
Blizzard lost their truely talented developers years ago.
Torchlight 1 was awful. They're almost as money hungry as Blizzard. I remmeber when T1 released and them promising there would be a patch for multiplayer. Then it was a DLC you had to pay to get for multiplayer. Now it's a whole new game for Multiplayer. No thanks, they lost my business and I won't give them another cent.
D3 is the true followup to D2, play past Leoric and then comment on how dark and gritty it is or is not.
PoE is not nearly as good as people say, the combet is hack and slash D2 style but the skill system blows. I also have no hopes for them to improve the game.

T1 and T2..complete ripoffs of someone elses games. its like the people who spun off from blizzard said to their dev team..."look, we dont need to spend a dime on this...we will just copy blizzard completey and call it something different..we're small and the underdog, so naive people will like us."
As for that steaming pile..."path of exile"...lets see, dark and gritty? if you consider just varying shades of red and grey gritty, i guess so. no character, dull npcs, small cramped towns with nothing, gameplay with crabs and spiders...wait, i found a boss, its a bigger crab or spider! they have turned to begging to try to keep it afloat. i spent 5 bucks on the beta...what a mistake! i want a refund, lol
we are only two weeks away from the sequel to the greatest online hack and slash ever?!??!!!
No, we are 12 days away from the biggest cash shop ever with a Diablo paintjob.

And we are only 12 days 11 hours away now.
Actually, people don't have to visit individual forums because of the hot topic feed on the main page. That's how I found this thread.
13 days now!
