Diablo 3!!
June 29th, 2008
Another thing I almost wet my pants over (but with a different bodily fluid…) was the announcement that Blizzard would be releasing Diablo 3! Dear God it’s about fucking time… I swear, I was going to have to hunt someone down if they didn’t announce it this week after the bullshit 5 days of Blizzard crap they were pulling with their splash page.
Irregardless, it looks very very good and I can’t wait for it to come out in 2010, probably when I’m in South Africa for World Cup, because, that’s probably how it will work out, sadly. Hopefully it will be sooner than that, say - Christmas? =)
I re-installed Diablo 2 just to play around in it again, relive some false memories I had of playing it (I never did), and I have to say, fuck me is 800×600 small as shit on a 30″ monitor. Jesus Christ, did we really game in that horrid resolution? The graphics, at best, are appaling by todays standards, however, the gameplay is surprisingly very good for a hack and slash top down dungeon crawler.
I probably would have lost hours of my life, much like this afternoon, playing it online back in 2000. I only hope they release it either before WotLK, or sometime afterwards, because honestly, with how good it looks, I can see myself playing it quite a bit.
