Who's a Diablo fan here?

New news about Diablo 3, apparently it's more like single player WoW now.
Players will need to be connected to the Internet all the time to play, and there's going to be an online auction house where people will can use gold or real world money to buy and sell stuff.

You can thank Robert Kotick for it.

I love how Runic Games threw down the gauntlet.

#Torchlight2 will still support mods, LAN play, and will be a one time purchase. :)

@nerdnewsreviews no subscription fees, item sales, nor DLC.

I remember playing Diablo 1, even got the "non-exsistant" expansion pack for it (Hellfire) - was pretty neat, added alot of cool stuff but didn't seem well polished.
I'm still playing D2:LoD now - Druid is quite possibly the most broken (in early game) character ever - just stack Fissure. Heck level 2 fissure will kill Andariel with no trouble at all. He's basically the demi-god of AoE damage.

D3 doesn't look great... I really don't like this trend among Koctizzard Acti-Blizzard of "No lan!, online only!, FINAL DESTINATION" they've been doing recently. Although I'll admit LAN is a great method of playing Pirated games onlines (Even games with no Lan option availible can still often use Game Ranger etc)
About the Auction house for real cash... I'm actually sorta glad about that (Although I would never use it). Selling off in-game items used to be exclusively done via a 3rd party which of course was VERY prone to scamming.


Also I heard something about a 4 Player limit in online games... wut. If they pull a technical excuse I will get mad -actually scratch that I won't care.


Path of Exile is coming up pretty neat, as is Torchlight 2.
