Quest 1: save again your identify machine.

The intro is as nice as any other made by Blizzard. It seems somewhat superfluous to make such intro for a game comprised of merely clicking the shit out of everything, though.

+1 @ klaymen: Intro looks nice.

Can't help but I think this feels like Call of Duty:

1. Evil is rising (Diablo, Terrorists, Azmodan, Al Quaida,...)
2. We're doomed, NPC (Leah, Deckard Cain, UN, NATO) are terrified.
3. Brainless action.
4. Hero will save the day!

= millions of dollars ;)

I was expecting something like Hellgate: London's intro, this didn't impress me much. Though it doesn't change the fact that I'm gonna play it 7/24 once it releases. :)

Very nice. Very nice indeed. It's a shame that they're fucking around with the game so much or I might be interested. That's the problem with ActiBlizz, they operate on the basis that they're not making mere games. They draw people into that. But I'm not one of them. They are mere games.

Diablo has always been a simple action game with some stats thrown in for good measure. There's plenty of room for games like that in the grand scheme of things. The problem with COD is that it has such a profound influence on the rest of the FPS subgenre. Diablo has precisely no influence on RPGs, because it isn't one.

Indeed. That's why I laugh hysterically when someone claims that Diablo is the best RPG ever. Or that it is a RPG.

That's just silly. :D There are a lot of games that tread the action RPG / RPG line. But Diablo isn't even close. It's more akin to an arcade game than an RPG.

Edit: Not saying this is a bad thing. I like action RPGs and action games as a whole.

Actually I believe Diablo to be the perfect embodiment of my childhood days of roleplaying heroes: Just brainless murder-monster action.

In fact, it reminds me of classic super sentai series... in a way. :P

So... it is a RPG, just focusing on a children's approach to role playing. ;)

Diablo was an item farming simulator, and it will always be. I just love it this way. :D

The clue is in the name: roleplaying game. You're not playing a role. You're hacking shit up. It's more like Golden Axe than D&D.

Wait, technically it is a RPG. You roleplay a mass murderer :)
Selecting your hero class just changes the way you grind the shit out of everything....err...play your role.
:P

As a fan of older Blizzard games I'm wondering if anyone else then me is, being bothered by the storytelling in them.

Every game from D2 until now boils down to the rise of an ancient evil and some kind of prophecy on a grand scale. In the context of D2 that was an ok plot, but to redo it in every game from then on is ridiculous.

Now even the older games with simpler plots look better just because they don't use the same banal boring formula.

Click them, before they click you!
