I'm hyped as hell, D3 is gonna be awesome. Well, it's so close to release that you CAN expect almost the full game out of it. It won't be changed much for the release at this point, they're 98% done. Considering how long they've been working on the game. I'm very hyped after reading about the skills on the site. Definitely buying. I spent thousands of hours on D2, no beta though. ;( Except you can't, because it's a beta of a game with a heavy single player/story component, which they obviously won't want to reveal. A beta in a game like this is pretty much the equivalent of a Demo, but with the invites.
I disagree. The story was never important in Diablo games  For me anyway ^^ The appeal is in the awesome, addictive gameplay, and butchering tons of demons with bros!
Story spoiler: Demons, demons everywhere. You must kill them, then in the end you kind of don't win anyway. Same in every Diablo game

Time + Skyrim has made my hype die down to an absolute low pretty much.
I guess it will come back when it comes out, but Blizzard released too much too quickly unfortunately.

That's what I was thinking. Or at least give me a darn key (although I've probably seen enough streams to not really care too much one way or another since its' so short and capped at 13)

I got the reverse..
Skyrim got me a little excited for a RPG again, a genre I hadn't played in years.
Skyrim however sucks in the details.. Leveling system sucks, perks are imbalanced, combat is repetetive and the game is way too easy in general. Made me think back to diablo 2 (the last RPG i had played) and how much better it could have been.
Then i realized d3 was coming out soon and I checked some of the possible builds and characters and i'm pretty excited..
I probably won't play it very long because RPG's do get boring after a while (once you figure out the cool builds for me) as I don't like grinding for long and I don't like online play much in RPG's. I'm very excited to finish the game with 1 maybe 2 characters though.. especially on a nice difficulty setting (and I know I won't finish on the highest).
Not having the 3d experience of skyrim does suck though. Wish there was a good game coming that mixed the best of both worlds: awesome 3d and huge world with the great skills and combat.

Cant affort to be actively interested, watching news every day etc., when it ATM seems like it can be released in middle of next year - but Im still going to buy CE day it is finally released.
|
Not as hyped as when the beta / skill calculator came out, but will still buy the game at midnight and take a day off to play
|
I'm super hyped but I have to tone it back sometimes or I won't make it to release.

Time + Skyrim has dampened my hype as well. I think watching beta streams ruined some of it, too. But when the release date gets near I will start freaking out

I'm not really hyped for it at all, but ill still play it of/c.
|
disappointed thus far.. Probably will still buy er
|
have to admit, my hypeness is at an all time low, letting around 10 ppl play the beta while seeping through some low-excitement information made me stop bothering to check d3 fan sites.

I think skyrim has spoiled me. While they are two very different RPGs: skyrim has set a very high expectation for me in terms of world design, art, character flexibility, etc.

I totally forgot about the game.... I just play skyrim and maybe will be happy if it suddenly release one day... out of the blue,
But I don't feel the need to play it ... maybe will change when it comes out. But it is not the same as with starcraft 2
|
I am super duper hyped! The only bad thing about D3 is that i won't have time to play SC2 
|
i dont get hyped for blizz games anymore cuz they always push back the release date 12 times and im tired of getting my hope up
|
I'll buy it, even pre-order it, but I am not really hyped for it anymore. Like many others here, I found Skyrim to be the wine to all gaming related thirst.

Doesn't matter if it's not important to you, it matters that it's important for Blizzard to keep it hidden. This is the reason the beta is so short. It's different in SC2's case, in that you can test with multiplayer games without revealing anything else. In Diablo, the multi and singleplayer game are the same thing, but with different users playing, they can't be separated.
|
I disagree with this story thing, literally everyone I known in D2 played for story once and then just kept rushing and eventually even forget that stuff like Khalims Flail exist ^^
However D3 Beta really is useless - because what makes Diablo real Diablo is leveling, questing, farming, trading, gearing and stuff like that. Farming, trading, gearing and leveling is not avaiable in beta at all and questing just to a degree that it actually only spoils game. Beta has almost nothing in common with final game, Id not even call it a demo.
|
I was hyped when they annonced it, now not really.
Day9 playing the beta killed it for me. Seriously, how can a game be so easy and still be fun to play? I don't see the fun of going into a cave and spam'clicking.
If the rest of the game is WAY harder, i'll try it. I don't want to have to clear the game the game 4 times before actually having fun in the last difficulty.

i really hate how people think that a beta's primary function is to be a demo/marketing device. while a lot of companies have been using betas for those things it is not the reason they do betas. the point of beta is to get the game closer to release. all the best game companies rely hugely on play testing to make their games great. public betas are a form of play testing.
