    See the Curt Schilling 38 Studios thread, lol. Should be first page still.
    It's a good game, but it's single player only. The art direction was done by Todd McFarlane, and the story RA Salvatore I believe. I really enjoyed the combat on it...but I think Diablo is better naturally. It's definitely worth a look.

    There is no cow level...or is there? See spoiler below.

    This is a huge spoiler...don't click it if you don't want to see it!
    There's video at the link; I'd include it but youtube is blocked here at work.

    I actually got the recipe for the staff needed to get to the "special" level last night. Now I need to gather the materials... and money. Lots of money.

    They basically took away the money by making the material buy back almost zilch.

    Guess I'm going to buy this game and get in line for server crashes. I can't believe I didn't buy this thing after having waited for it for so long. I must be old. :)

    I finally beat Diablo tonight. GG.
    A friend of mine and I gathered the materials and cleared the secret level.
    I got a legendary item out of it...it seems to be kind of a joke item. I'd be more specific but the servers just went down for maintenance. I'll post it later. Anyway it's worth doing once, but...you'd think for the amount of money and time you have to sink into it you'd get better loot.

    Really? We cleared it 2.5 times and got a few rares but not very many between 2.

    Man, I just beat it on Normal difficulty and thought I was making pretty good time. So much for that idea. Guess I'll start on Nightmare difficulty later tonight.

    Well, I decided to start playing it tonight and I've gotten to where they find "the Stranger" with no memory. Can't say this is all that exciting - probably because I've played both Diablos and games like Dungeon Siege which are Diablo clones. BTW, did any of you play Torchlight? That game was basically a clone of Diablo and played pretty much like Diablo 3 except every other dungeon you went to in that game was the same dungeon.

    Overall, so far, I'm liking the special effects, but the overall gameplay is nothing really original or groundbreaking. It's still a big ol' clickfest where you'd have to be braindead to have a hard time beating it on "Normal". Of course I say that having only played a portion of the game. Now watch me get my butt handed to me. :grin: The King Leoric battle and the part with the "pillars" was a pretty fun battle.

    I played TL but haven't played D3. Are the two really alike, since I thought it was a pic-for-pic clone of D2....

    TL2 is supposed to allow 8 players.

    ...Has nothing really advanced for D3????????

    I felt this way through act 1(rather disappointed in fact), but after finishing up act 2 I feel a lot better about the revamped click feat.

    I think anyone who currently think d3 is just another mindless click-fest will change their minds once they reach higher difficulty level and familiarize themselves with monster modifiers such as Arcane Enchanted, Mortar, Invulnerable Minions, and Waller/Jailer ;)

    Yeah, vampiric/fire chain/illusionist has been the biggest A-hole I've run into so far. Monk gameplay is a lot of fun. So many builds that work for AOE demolition. I've had to upgrade my gear a lot every few levels though to keep my dps high enough to roll through mobs.

    I'm almost done with A3 nightmare. Have died a decent amount, but mostly from just mindlessly running into elites. There hasn't been anything too challenging yet. I hear hell is another ball game though.

    I don't like how the difficulty spikes randomly. Just cleared through mobs with ease and then out of nowhere got my ass kicked by ACT 2 boss. I know he's a boss... but jesus lol.
