I honestly think that it look way better than normal looking D3!

Best thing I've seen about Diablo III... play a man's roguelike, play Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup... https://crawl.develz.org/

That's all the relevant info on Diablo 3.

tru dat, jan mattys
i think i would be pushed to find a illegal version rather than put up with this sort of B.S.
why make DRM which punishes your regular customers, but pirates will avoid? surely that pushes people to pirate your product more

@MattDakka - While BB > Diablo 3, no one says we can't have both :D
I'll get around to picking it up in the next week or two hopefully. I'll play it for a month or two before burning out on it, maybe a bit longer if the multi-player is good.

actually, no, not "tru dat"...and seriously, if that's your jargon, get out of the "hood"...you play dice games, you're not a hardcore street thug...
the whole cracked article is a load of crap...
#1 - whining and complaining about how you can't name your players immature, infantile names?...we have the same restrictions here...but yet somehow we survive just fine...
gaming used to be catered towards a younger age group, and as gamers have matured, so has the video game content...gaming isn't an "immature childish escapade" anymore...it's big money business....grow up...
#2 - bashing a game's content and quality because the company(who admittedly planned for a huge swarm of players, but even that wasn't enough) didn't have enough capacity?...hey guess what, every single highly anticipated game has undergone the same problems...and after a few days, all of the problems were resolved....
here's a hint for people who aren't in the IT industry...no matter how much you plan, it's never enough...there is *ALWAYS* some sort of problem right out of the gate, that has to be resolved....bitch and whine all you want, but it won't change the fact that something will always need to be fixed on launch day....
#3 - this ties in to #2...no matter how much testing you do, you can never account for large-scale, mass live performance...a beta of 100,000 users will never find the amount of bugs that 5 million users will...*NEVER*...it's not a matter of consumers
#4 - DRM in your "single-player" game....here's what you people need to wrap your head around....Diablo is no longer a single-player game...while sure, you can play by yourself, it's still a small-scale MMO...hey, pre-raiding, I ran through my entire WoW career by myself...guess what, it's still an MMO...
with as seamless as the drop-in/drop-out system is, combined with friends list players being able to join your non-public games, single-player went out the window eons ago...
also, with all of the people bitching and complaining about duping in D2...guess what...this server-side solution is one of the tools to combat that exact problem...as players get smarter and exploits are found faster, with a non-server-side solution to the game, exploits would have been rampant within the first week...
so either you get to play with a little bit of DRM(oh big f'ing deal, your entire life is connected to the internet, one more game isn't going to hurt you), or you can settle for massive duping, exploiting, and cheating...
frankly, i'm ok with a little bit of DRM...
