Diablo III Discussion

[007]

@All:
Will CE become available after the release date? I'm not asking about availability in India. I just want to know if shops would restock again after the release date or thats it, limited number of copies which are already sold out, end of CE.

^It 'll be back in stock.

CEs are unlikely to be restocked.

Looks like guys with mid range PC would also play it on full settings.

Yup, it is the diablo series after all. Plus blizz games are meant to be very accessible hardware wise. My new rig with a gtx 680 will blow this game out of the water, will be so awesome !

Oh and I very much doubt the CE will be available again, beats the point of it.

hi, this may have been asked earlier, so pardon me for asking again. and i didn't really understand the charts posted above #noob

i have a question. will this game run on an Asus K53SM-SX010D?

thanks a lot

[coolpcguy]

Results are not really surprising, was playing it on my Envy @ 1080p & everything set to max

[CommanderShawnzer]

Yeah i also cant buy this game.
Infact why are most of the good game 1k+

good games(if you mean bethesda,blizzard ones) are more than 1k because they aren't officially present in india nor are they affliated to any distributor hence no subsidies for us indians and the "obscene"(for a developed country citizen those are normal)prices

Well I was not waiting and I was going to buy the game but I won't. So they lost 1 customer. I bet many are like me.

i bet that pesky student/pirate types will not buy(of course they will make a beeline for torrent sites to *get* thier "copy" and make some FAIL tries to play it) but that percentage is too low to impact sales. as if blizzard really cares for a bunch of half-pirate indian "customers"


on a seperate note-
i will buy the game some time ,like may be when blizzard goes on some christmas sale or something
graphics are nice, gameplay is lovely. only hitch is the continous internet thing but well, that does'nt make a difference to me unless they think this is WoW and want a subscription

@Gaurav Bhattacharjee : Dude, since you are the OP and a D3 fan Please make a list of people from TDF who play D3(once its released) and thier battle.net ID's(BattleTag and code) and the Region(US,singapore etc.)

Sure thing.

They'll need to PM me or communicate in some other way though.

[Blizzard] Diablo III - Wrath

Long before the creation of Sanctuary, the Eternal Conflict between angels and demons raged on for untold millennia. Blizzard Entertainment teamed up with renowned director Peter Chung and acclaimed animation studio Titmouse to create this unique vision of a fundamental moment in the battle between the High Heavens and the Burning Hells.

it isn't all that epic, the 100% reveal.

[Gaurav Bhattacharjee]

it isn't all that epic, the 100% reveal.

What did you expect, more cinematics? They've done enough of that already. Any more and the game will be spoiled.

Anyway, this video was more from a lore standpoint, so its okay that you don't find it epic.

If there is any game which deserves an 'obscene' price tag it is this one. It has years worth of gameplay! And D3 will have no subscription.

Oh and I will start with the battle tag: YD1#1737. Servers will depend on which offers the lowest ping.

Blizzard says that at least two expansion packs will be released for D3. That probably means that D4 will take at least around 8-10 years to come out. I think they might work on WC4 after D3, as they said long back that they have envisioned WoW to have a level cap of 90 which will be reached with mists of panderia. So coming out with WC4 to forward the story for WoW2 makes sense. All speculation though.

There will be no D4. D3 (including expansions) will end the current story-arc.

Their next big project will be an MMO space shooter. Its currently codenamed "Titan".

Is there any chance of price drop by the end of the year or so? I missed all the Diablo craze but would like to jump on after seeing so much of hype (which I guess is well deserved) on the web.

Probably.
