Diablo 3, you had a good hook and a bad end.

The game is still ongoing and I have no idea how long the people who reviewed it played it for. But I'll give you that I've played it for at least 127 hours as a Wizard, 89 as a demon hunter, and a couple on barbarian and witch doctor and a few on a hardcore monk.

(Edited line in August 12, 2012): All of this and below before patch 1.0.4.

**WARNING; Spoilers may be present below if you have never played Diablo 3. you have been warned! ***

Why does this game get so much attention everywhere?

It's due to the fact that the game has been a franchise that was widely recognised as a big success in its earlier editions; Diablo I, Diablo II mostly the latter gained the fame for the series. The other thing is it's developed by Blizzard. What people don't know is that it's not developed by Blizzard North which is where most of their key employees that were involved with Diablo I and II left and founded the(Amended,&n

Interesting numbers, to say the least

It's been around a week since Diablo III's launch and after spending a lot of time in-game, I think I am in a position to review it. The anticipation for this game was insane and it has gotten a massive amount of media attention, both positive and negative. Did the super popular game developer, Blizzard, live up to the expectation, or was Diablo III just hype?

I have to say, even now after playing the game a lot for a week, I still have mixed feelings about Diablo III. I've been having fun but I can't help but think that the only reason I am playing the game at all is because of how popular it is. So, I'll try to break down the different aspects of the game as best as I can.

Story

The first Blizzard game I ever played was Warcraft III and I was really amazed by the story. Not many other games of the time had gotten my attention and kept it as long as Warcraft III did. Naturally, I became a fan of Blizzard back then. For me, the thing that stood out the most were the pre-rendered

It has been 12 years since players waited for Diablo III's release, players are eager to play this game, beat the hell out of Diablo. But wait! There's more! If you experienced this "ERROR 37" upon logging in, then you're one of millions of players that had this kind of error, come and join them!

Frustrated and anything, players decided to turn this bad situation into something hilarious while keeping their complaints on forums and different social media websites. Check these hilarious pictures from the web.

This is kind of a secret move from Blizzard, THE TIME HAS COME, EXECUTE ERROR 37!

On May 9th 2012, Blizzard announced that all Closed Beta testers for Diablo III will be receiving an exclusive Feat of Strength: One of the Chosen. Below is the extract from the Community Manager, Lylirra:

"In celebration of a successful beta test, all players who were invited to participate in the Diablo III closed beta will receive the commemorative Feat of Strength, "One of the Chosen." For eligible players, this feat will appear automatically in the Feat of Strength list after logging in for the first time as well as unlock a unique sigil that can be used on character banners.

In order to be eligible for "One of the Chosen," you must have had a Diablo III closed beta license attached to your Battle.net account (it isn't necessary to have downloaded or logged into the beta its

Last weekend, Blizzard had it's Open Beta test for its highly anticipated game, Diablo III. I actually did a blog about choosing between Guild Wars 2 and Diablo III and since then I have been leaning more on the GW2 side (already pre-purchased). However the D3 beta may have just changed my mind.

Let me first say that I haven't played either Diablo 1 or 2 to any extent. So Diablo III was pretty much my first foray into the isometric dungeon crawler. The experience was much better than I expected. Getting into the game was the hardest task - the servers were full at all times. But once I was able to get into Battle.net, it was actually quite enjoyable.

The first thing I noticed is that the game loaded very quickly and had a very beautiful art style. It certainly isn't the best graphics in a game but it definitely had a unique atmosphere and visual appeal. Anyway, I got to play as all the classes and I did a quick breakdown of my opinions on them below. Note that these opinions are

Not long after the public beta for Diablo III began, Blizzard has already decided it won't be able to have the game ready in time to ship this year. As such, the long-awaited sequel won't be out until "early 2012."

From Blizzard

We commonly use the term “soon” when referring to Blizzard releases, because we know that no matter how hard we’re working to reach a target, we’re not going to compromise and launch a game before it’s ready. For Diablo III, we were aiming to launch by the end of 2011. As we’re announcing globally today, our new target for the game is early 2012.

While this news might not be a complete surprise, I know that many of you were hopeful that Diablo III would ship this year. We were too. However, this week we pulled together

 

 

I know some of you have been waiting for this for a long time, but the beta has officially started for Diablo III. No, not the friends and family beta, that has already come and gone, the official beta for the game has started and it was announced today on their official blog.

Currently the invites for the game are in the process of going out, so if you didn’t get in right away, keep checking, you may be in one of the later waves to be sent out. Luckily if you didn’t get into this round, the beta will be in phases. Those players who were opted-in due to having other Blizzard games, got priority in the selection, due to it being the only way to actually register to get into the beta. But this won’t be the only way they will be sending out invites. Beyond that,
