Lets face the facts my friends, Diablo 3 wont live up to the hype. Why? Because the people who made what diablo 2 is left a long time ago, but joined forces to make what looks to be nothing less than amazing. Hellgate London is being made by ex-Blizzard employees, including Diablo series creators Erich Schaefer and former Blizzard North President David Brevik. The other founders are Erich's brother Max Schaefer, former Blizzard North Vice President Bill Roper, and Diablo II producer Kenneth Williams. If you have not read about it, look it up on wikipedia and look at it's videos on ign. Looks simply stunning. The gameplay and style are similiar to diablo 2. BUT NO I HAVE TO PAY PER MONTH? Lets face it, they are giving you a server that cost a buttload to run and only ask you to help them provide a good service for you, to entertain. And seeing Hellgate and whos running it, I am forced to think that diablo3 will be nothing but a wow clone. Not saying wow is bad (for the sake of a arguement off topic) but it isnt everyones cup of rpg. Yes I think blizzard has made some amazing games, I still play diablo 2 even, and Diablo 3 and starcraft 2 could be just astounding. But I also think theres a chance that blizz just opened the door for greater things (sc and wc for rts, diablo for rpgs, wow for mmo's) and we will see the strengths of blizz's games emphasized and the weaknesses strenghtened. All I am saying is, it isnt the company that makes the game its the individuals, so maybe what made diablo 2 the game we love was these individuals that made hellgate london. We atleast owe them to try the game. Hell it could be all smoke and lasers, and hell I could be wrong, but if we do not experiance other games and see why companys like Blizzard (and valVe [omg i love them]) are so good at what they do, we may burn out like most have on WoW. Remeber games are for entertainment, like movies, and as good as Fight Club and Borat is, by watching some othe movies, we can find new favorites. <3 WaddleZ
sigh another one.... sure the original makers of d3 left but thats why blizzard has been (for the past year and a half) hiring people.... and 2nd of all its blizzard... has blizzard ever made a bad game?? they will not publish a game unless it absolutly perfect and very good

If you ever meet a hafling and a hungry dragon you dont have to outrun the dragon, you only have to outrun the hafling.
