Diablo 3

I'm in the crypt too. I don't know if I like this game. So far it is only Diablo in name for me. It's good... just... I dunno.

Out of interest guys, are the worlds completely randomly generated like in D2? I know D2 had certain areas that were set, but the majority of areas were generated on the fly.

Just finished the beta. Took me around 3h 30mins. I have mixed feelings of this game. As for the random generation I don't know, I haven't played it a second time through yet.

I know nothing about this game, but I can almost say for certain, no.

Important dungeons are randomly generated. It looks more like a Torchlight-like generation than a D2 generation. The outside areas and some small dungeons are always the same though (like the cellars or the cave under the well).

the outside areas are the same? ohhh man that sucks... random generation is what diablo is all about...

Damn... not playing Diablo 3 anymore now

I'm still definitely gonna play it, just sad to see it go! It added that little bit of randomness to each play through.

totally agree, when i go to work each day i like to take a completely different route to try and get lost so i have a random experience each day

Cool! Different principle though, I'm sure 'serious' Rick_D would agree!

Unlike your walk to work, videogames tend to be about the trip, rather than the destination...

I thought you would appreciate the roguelike heritage.

Map hacking was pretty rife in D2, though.

Watching the beta vids, I'm still afraid it's going to remind me too much of torchlight even though the styles are a good bit different from one another. Not counting on getting into the beta though (my luck has never swung that way), good to here some are liking it.

Cant you just opt in for the 10 day free to play WoW thingie and then opt in for the beta?

That's enough top down WoW for me. Gone back to playing Diablo II.
