plaguelands.comDiablo 3. Blizzard = EA. Sequel Everything
The lack of originality in any new development titles is why developers leave Blizzard to do their own shit. Blizzard would rather milk every single IP in their stable before actually creating and expanding on new ideas from one hell of a talent pool. Such a fucking waste.
12:20 PM: Introducing Barbarian, one of several Diablo III classes. Overcomes enemies with pure brute force: no such thing as too much power. Several improvements: Hotbar to help players use skills quickly and easily. Quick swap between two skills using mouse wheel or Tab key. Game is so simple you can play it with just hte mouse but allows deeper, more satisfying combat. In demo, axes enchanted with frost/electricity to stun/freeze enemies.
World of Diablo III will have quests and story events — ‘more so than previous games’. Shows character interacting with the npc Deckard Cain and embarking on a quest.
How lovely, not. ZZZZ. Don’t get me wrong, I’ll save my judgment on the game itself until I play it, but I’m really sick of the same rehashed titles. WTF> WTF WTF WTF>. This is hilarious. I KNOW GUYS. Let’s take pop culture references and stick them into the game like Haris Pilton! It will be witty and fucking genius!

You’re completely right about the lack of originality with regard to their IPs, but at least it isn’t another Warcraft title. Diablo and StarCraft have at least had the time to be savored and settle into being gaming legends. WoW has completely burnt me out on what is really a rather interesting fantasy/steampunk universe, and believe me: I love steampunk. You’ll probably hear as much complaint about Blizzard making a new Diablo game as you would BioWare making a new KotOR. I have to be honest in saying that I would rather see another good KotOR game than I would another Mass Effect, even though Mass Effect is a good IP.
With so little innovation in terms of wholly original projects I have to wonder if Blizzard is even as capable as they were 10 years ago. If they are, then perhaps it is a great disservice that they are not bringing something new to the table, but perhaps such innovations are simply not feasible with a company of Blizzard’s size.
Chests can become traps!? Talk about innovative.
You know what would be funny? If D3 has a character named Hikki Nilton. I would laugh and laugh!!!1!
I don”t care about new “ip”, only about good games
and diablo was not touched for so many years, this diablo 3 seems to be beautiful , fun and still interesting
what do you want ? a blue monster with some guys having new weird name ?
Squaresoft uses the same names for 20 years in the Final Fantasy series, and still, FF 6 is not FF 11.
I don”t care at all.
