I don't care if there's another thread for it somewhere.  Don't feel like looking.

I noticed the lead designer is Jay Wilson.  Would this be the same Jay Wilson (jwilson) of UO slime fame?

I'd have to say, the UO folks win that debate hands down.

I think Company of Heroes kinda sucked. Everything else on his list have no interest for me aside from Homeworld 2.

Bingo.  Homeworld 2 is one of my faves, but even then the sequel team lost some of the things that made the original great.

I wonder if gamers have become more sophisticated since the second game.  I never finished any of them because there was no depth and I was just wearing out my mouse buttons.

I WILL play Diablo III, just not anytime soon.

There is something about the constant exploring, but as Gordo said, it was sooooooo dull.

However, along came a little game called Torchlight. It was exactly like Diablo, only fun and full of character. The game was immensely more interesting because they fixed all the boring stuff in Diablo.

Thus, I assume that Blizzard saw Torchlight, and not only took a lot of those ideas, but improved upon them.

It's Blizzard, and it will be a good game, but great? Neither Diablo nor Diablo II were great, but they were good...

The Beta was awesome. This game is crazy polished. A little too easy, but then there are 4 difficulty levels now.

I will be playing the shit out of this game. Every character will be awesome, so if anyone (Cake?) wants to start co-op multi after some time messing around with the various classes, I will be down.

5/15 never forget. (unless I'm still stuck here in Connecticut for this trial, in which case... all I can do is continue to rag on the capital of boarded up buildings, Bridgeport)

I'm down for playing.  My only rule is that whoever I'm playing with, they can't have gone through the story line ahead of me.  I HATE playing when the other person knows what's coming, going to happen, etc.  Spoilers are bad.

Wasn't sure what class to try, so found a random number generator and landed on the Witch Doctor. Poison frogs, Zombie dogs, throwing jars of spiders at monsters(!). Sold.

Will hopefully get a crack at it tonight.

So who got Error 37'd today?

Can't play the solo game unless you can log in... LOVING IT.  We need more of that kind of bullshit.

I respect the writers of PC Gamer for TRYING to care, but they do cave all the time.

Remember when they would warn you about DRM in a game, as part of the summary of the review?  Yeah, advertisers didn't like that, did they.  In that review, I liked how he spent the first few paragraphs telling us how the game is unacceptably unplayable unless you had a secure internet connection, which eliminated a lot of people, and then at the end he gave it a 90.

Get familiar with Blizzard's automated account recovery system, so when you get hacked there wont be a learning curve.

Yes, it happens so much they had to automate a recovery process.

While the specifics of how I was hacked elude me, one thing remains clear. This is made entirely possible by the fact that I’m forced to always, always be online while playing Diablo 3. This form of DRM is supposed to make the game safe from pirates, but all it seems to have done is to expose all its players to possible plunder. Despite the fact that I’ve only played either by myself or with a friend (which could have been done via LAN), I must be online at all times, and as such, hackers have what appears to be an open door directly into my characters and loot.

Reading just that blurb, the first thought I had was that the same could be said about any other MMO out there.  And ANY person that's ever been 'hacked' has no idea how it happened.

That was a dumb paragraph, in the context above.

I'm not voting for DRM, I'm just saying that guy sounds stupid.
