Is Diablo 3's release this summer going to seriously hurt our population?

for about a month, not more
blizz did everything possible to ruin D3 experience for many of us (must play online, RMT sales etc)

This.


The only real threat to Project 1999 is Guild Wars 2.

When is that out?

[mwatt]

Minimal threat, though of course a small dip when it first comes out, while everyone gives it a whirl.

Why? Because most of us are addicted to EQ, that's why. A pseudo-3D action-fest, light RPG will be a nice snack at times, but for a real meal, most of use will be returning to the EQ-teat.

I was watching some gameplay videos of the beta a few days ago and wasn't very impressed by it. You can check them out on youtube.

Success /= Good Game.

Its obvious its going to be a success, they already have a huge enough following to make the sales, and out of those millions there are enough who will play it and enjoy it.

Still doesn't make it a good game!

I'm not going to lie, they could just re-release Diablo 2 with better graphics and I'll still enjoy the shit out of it. I've enjoyed every single game Blizzard has ever put out so I will be surprised if this is any different.

But I do agree with everyone else, it's a different type of game than EQ. It might cut down on my P99 playtime but it won't make me leave completely by any means.

We're talking about Blizzard, a company that has cancelled multiple titles (Starcraft: Ghost for the naysayers) in the past because it wasn't up to their standards. Hundreds of thousands of dollars spent on development only to be completely scrapped. A company that clears $1b annually, easy. They've got cash to burn and have no reason to release a shitty product.

I'll take that bet.

So according to you, World of Warcraft is a wonderful game? I think we have completely different standards for excellence.
