    Anyone get this? i never have played a Diablo game (not a PC gamer at all, yeah yeah Master Race) but Loot games and Co-op interest the crap outta me. Played a couple hours yesterday, and now thats all I wanna play.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I play World of Warcraft and there was an annual pass (commit to staying subscribed to WoW for a year) a couple years ago that gave you some perks, including a free copy of D3. I played D3 quite a bit for a few months, but eventually it became too repetitive. It's a really beautiful game, though and, if you like the endless-grind-for-loot genre (which has a long tradition) then it's a great example of it.

    yeah I can see the repetitive part. I'm hoping with 6 characters that wont be the case as soon. The Co-op aspect and random generated dungeons mode may appeal to me. But Loot and Co-op mainly.

    I just dont have the competitive spirit to get into matchmaking as often anymore.

    I played it on 360 not on pc. Good game, lots of fun first play or two, then it got repetitive and I became bored.

    Very addictive. If you like loot games you need to get destiny. The co-op pve on it is promising, and the multiplayer is top notch. Edit: it comes out sept 9th on 360/PS3 & the new gen xbox one/ps4

    What class are you rolling? I played demon hunter, wizard, and barbarian. The barbarian was by far the best!

    I stopped during burning crusade, but I used to play on boulderfist. I can never go back to that game, even though I had a blast playing it.

    D3 is lame because it has the shop.

    Yep Destiny is pre-ordered. as soon as I played the Alpha I was sold. It has everything that I'm looking for.

    at first I was worried with how close Diablo was to DEstiny release it would be a waste of money. But to me its a different enough game that it can be a good change of pace game so I dont get burnt out on one game.

    I played as a Monk. Had no idea what I was looking for, so I figured I'd probably be restarting a couple times at least.

    I heard it was lame when it came out on the pc, so i never played it. Not a big fan of that style of rpg anyway, Torchlight does nothing for me either.

    Oh shit I just remembered from your comment that they were releasing a new d3 that is basically the patched pc version. Is that what you are talking about?

    Are you on ps4 or xbox one?

    I'm worried for Microsoft on the master chief halo release being so close to destiny. But from everyone I've heard on the subject, they still can't wait for master chief collection and still plan on buying it....I'm up in the air on it, I guess I'll have to see if destiny is still tons of fun at that point.

    I liked he barbarian because you regen health based off attacks or something iirc. You also have some abilities which allow you to handle sticky situations well...IE: lots of bad guys, or difficult bad guys. I remember dying the least on my barb, and running through dungeons quickest. Barb might be a good class to try if you have beaten the game, or want something faster paced.

    Demon hunter was good for taking time and being strategic. You can place traps down on the ground which do a wide variety of things such as slowing enemies down.

    They got rid of the real money auction house.

    I played a ton of D3 when it first came out and loved it. After a few months and over a hundred playing hours I quit it because I hated the Auction house and real money auction house. They took those out on PC about six months ago and played it for a few more months and had a ton of fun, it got old but not to the point I didnt want to play it. Only really stopped playing it because my computer started having issues

    This will sound weird but I played D2 (PC) obsessively in late 1990's early 2000s. At the time was a renowned player vs player dueling Paladin and one of the pioneers of desynch techniques which became widely used.

    No time for such things these days. Also from the start the PC version of D3 has had really discouraging reviews on Amazon.

    Played it almost to the end and just got too bored with it.

    Came back months later to find that my account had been stolen.

    Real money store was a mistake.

    Meh, it's too late. I think they already lost a lot of players.

    Sort of an unfair manipulation of the system by building a PvP char (hammer/charge Paladin) able to move so fast that there's no way the internet can keep up and he turns invisible to your opponent.

    i remember watching my buddy play, and he would get to be so fast that none of the creatures could catch him, but they would still follow him? and he would run up to some newbie player and type something like "hey, i have a present for you!" and then a hundred monsters would just devour the newbie in a gangbang feeding frenzy. pretty funny.
