Touching someone's hair is not assault. Anyone who says otherwise is a moron.

The fact that you don't know which dungeon crawlers I'm talking about shows me that you don't know shit. Shut up. Don't reply to people who say bad things about Diablo 3. Go play your Diablo 3 instead of defending it so furiously.

Dude chill out. I'm honestly asking for you to elaborate on your opinion.

Lol...he still hasn't actually told us what games he is referring to lol. The only game in my opinion that is in the same league as Diablo is Trine, but they practically admit that they just knocked off Diablo II to tide people over until Diablo III. Anyways he's just trolling ignore him.

I assume you mean Torchlight. And there's also Titan Quest, and a few free to plays, and now by the looks of the trailer even a Marvel one.

I hope he doesn't mean Torchlight.. because torchlight was just a cheap imitation of Diablo. Like I said earlier though.. It was a fun game. He's just wrong if he thinks it's better. I'll still get torchlight 2 when it comes out though. :p

And yet I could still give no less shit then I already do about it.

Then get lost

You first, douche.

32 posts and a stock avatar and you're telling me to get lost?

Yes because having a bigger post count consisting of garbage like "And yet I could still give no shit about it" and having a stupid avatar makes you more important.

Didn't you hear, people with higher post count's are the absolute authority on websites (somehow this instills a sense of ownership).

Oh my fucking God, the point was that people like that come and go all the time, being a long time fan of the site I am not going anywhere.

Now quit making this to be more than it is you babies.

Lol.. Ok dude. Like I said........... I've been coming here for years, I just now started commenting. I'll continue to go here for years because I dislike all the other large videogame media websites. You deserve a scratch and sniff sticker with a star on it though for your "loyalty".

And I'll change my avatar when I damn well feel like it!

I know quite a bit about games.. We're all just asking you to simply name a few games as examples. You instead chose to be immature and deflect the question.

He's just trolling, guys. Move along!

I must have forgotten to pay the damn bridge toll again!

Pity the game is a disappointment.

A pity for you. I'm having a great time over here.

I am too man. I really think the people shit talking Diablo have no idea what they're talking about. I think it's better than Diablo 1 and 2 in every category. People's initial reaction is always to flame a big game that's been talked about for a long time. It is what it is.. It's Diablo, and it's a damn good version of Diablo at that.

Diablo 3 is better than D1 or D2? Of course it is. The problem is that that Diablo 3 is not better than the other dungeon crawlers that actually improved the D2 formula.

Disappointing doesn't mean bad, you know. You noobs(Brad included) should go and play some other dugeon crawlers aside from D2.

Diablo 3 is 4/5. Nothing special. Just another game in the genre.

Direct me to them. I've played plenty of RPGs and only Torchlight is anything like Diablo. Torchlight is a blatent ripoff off of Diablo and it isn't afraid to show it either. Torchlight is nothing more than Diablo without a story or replay value. Don't get me wrong though, I enjoyed playing Torchlight through, but I wouldn't play it again.

I like Diablo because Diablo is Diablo. It's the first game of it's kind that plays anything like it does and that's specifically why I like it. I like other RPGS for other reasons, like Skyrim and Witcher 2 for example.

Like I said though, direct me to these dungeon crawlers and I'll decide for myself. I'm open minded.

LOL.. Whose the douche now? I've been using Giantbomb for years, I just recently decided to start commenting on it. Complaining about my avatar... Kind of speaks for itself.

This just proves that people couldn't care less for a drm that needs to be always online or, at least, it seems that way. Just keep supporting games that have this type of drm and, in the future, all games, single player or not, will have a persisten internet connection.

Diablo is more or less an online game. It's not like the requirement of being connected to the internet at all times is there simply for DRM, it's to stop people from hacking and ruining the online experience for all involved (and to keep the auction house economy stable). I don't think you need to worry about actual single player games requiring internet connections in the near future.

The amount of paranoia/hate D3 is getting because of such trivial things is pretty silly. If you want to argue that it shouldn't be a requirement, fine, I can even agree to that. But this isn't the downfall of civilization or gaming.

You're exactly right. I've been trying to explain this for weeks. It seems like such an easy concept to understand, but no one gets it. I remember Diablo II when they didn't require that and the online game was completely broken. People look back on it with this sense of nostalgia. I do as well, to an extent. But the game wasn't perfect.

Also, to those who QQ about the "lack of customization in talent builds"; yes, there aren't skill points to dump on skills of your choosing anymore. You no longer have the option of unloading 20 points on frozen orb and 1 shotting everything. That doesn't mean you can't chose a specific playing style for your class. My build is a Ice Wizard. I use Ice spells that feed off of each other for additional dps. Because of the rune combinations and passive abilities, you have multiple build options based on how you want to play. There are multiple right answers, multiple wrong answers. The only difference is now you don't have to make a new character when you screw everything up. Personally, I think it was a wise decision. Most people wouldn't start over again.. They would rage quit.
