Nov 1, 2006PhrozenDragon posted a message on Biggest Diablo 3 Information Yet!Another job that indicates unannounced projects, but no confirmation. If it had said however:Posted in: News
Required talents:Excessive knowledge of Diablo and of animating evil demons and angels with tentacles
then I would take it as a confirmation. -

"Hey guys, you want to make 1 billion or 2 billions?"
There is no such thing. If Blizzard can make more money and at the same time avoid the possibility of getting burned in media for too much violence, then they will. And that is the T rating.
Am I the only one on this board who doesn't think excessive blood is good? -
Oct 29, 2006PhrozenDragon posted a message on d3 on the way?I agree with Cyks. Plus, if they continuously announced everything, and then changed their minds, fans would be really upset. And that is something they don't want.Posted in: News

Oct 29, 2006PhrozenDragon posted a message on Biggest Diablo 3 Information Yet!Well eventually they do, the problem is to make them mature faster, or to keep them from talking to youPosted in: News

M = Means less little kids.
T = Too many little kids
That's also true. No matter the rating, there's no stopping them. And I don't really have a problem with it, so long as they refrain from acting immaturely. Which is perhaps too much to ask from most of them. -
Oct 28, 2006PhrozenDragon posted a message on Biggest Diablo 3 Information Yet!Yes, those ratings are often too high. I mean, what preents a 12 year old from watching a graphic movie at home? Nothing, except for the parents good sense, which seems to be awfully shortcoming these days.Posted in: News
T for Badlur's Gate? Alchohol, yeah right. You press a button and your character gets some negative effects. How inapropriate.
I also agree with the age. Not all kids are like that, but far too many, and they often lack common sense, courtesy, intelligence and general social skills, and for some reason have the idea that if you don't swear and attack all other players in every sentence, there is no point to playing. -
Oct 22, 2006PhrozenDragon posted a message on "Official" Diablo 3 PetitionWell, I can think of a couple of things, though I don't know if it will be appreciated by Blizzard.Posted in: News
One is to run in on Battle.net and post on those forums
Second is to run in on WoW forums
Chances are I think though that they will get locked by Blizzard.
Or any other Diablo fansite in general. -
Oct 22, 2006PhrozenDragon posted a message on Diablo 3 Fake TrailersYep, that was pretty crappy. First is just WoW, second is really just a bunch of text, and the third, well, I don't really know what the third is, but it's not good.Posted in: News

Minsc. If you do not know who he is, you have missed a great deal of worthwile roleplaying. I always have him in my party, even if I don't need him. It just doesn't feel right otherwise.

But I still remember those dragon fights. In diablo, you get stunned for a few seconds and hope you don't die, while the first time I fough The Shadow Dragon (Thaxss'syllia or whatever it's name is :P) all my characters just ran around being charmed, paralyzed, terrified, confused and everything else, but I still managed to win. Ah memories

In Baldur's Gate, you make your own character from scratch, selecting race, appearance, class and so forth. During your journey you will meet other NPC's that can join you. And you better take some with you, for beating the game with only a single character is very hard, if accomplishable.
The focus of Baldur's Gate lies in the story, as it is an almost complete reproduction of the pen and paper roleplaying games. Conversations take up a major part of the game, and depending on your answers and attitudes, different results occur. Both love and animosity can happen between the NPC's with you, as some can become your partner, and some dislike each other so much, and may sometimes try kill each other.
The fights are tactical. Anytime during the game you can pause (by hitting Space), and during that time you can order your characters to cast spells, attak, drink potions or whatever. But the game is still hectic, and often more challenging than Diablo. Trying to kill one lich without knowing what you're doing, or sufficently powerful characters, results in certain obliteration.
It is a bit old, but still, in my opinion, the best RPG ever made. No modern title even comes close to rivaling it, except maybe for Knights of the Old Republic, I never played that though, so I wouldn't know, and it was made by the same company anyway. Oblivion pales in comparison. Even though it has fantastic graphics and voice-acting, it has nothing of the intricate and extremely well-made story of Baldur's Gate.
To make a long story short, if you like hack'n'slash, lots of blood and reaction tests, this game isn't for you. However if you appreciate an excellent story, tactics and a free gameplay (the game has tons of sidequests) this you must try. The biggest obstacle to overcome are the graphics, and grasping the system. You really have to have an understanding for how the rules fo the game work to get the maximum out of it.

I think it's coming only for PC. You really need a mouse for D2, and I can't imagine D3 changing that aspect without taking away much of what makes Diablo special.

WoW has sold : 8 million copies
Current subscriptions: 6.5 million
Warcraft III sold: 7.6 million
Diablo 2 sold: 14.5 million
Clearly, Diablo was more popular than WC3, yet WoW was based upon Warcraft. A potential fanbase of 14.5 million exists for Diablo, and even if everybody who plays WoW is a former Diablo fan (which they are far from), that leaves 7.9 million people waiting for D3.
