Diablo III

[Bok]

Anyone else tried it? I've been waiting patiently for years for this game.

Not much of a gamer otherwise except for classic arcade games, but I loved Diablo II back in the day and this is awesome too. Played a couple of hours as it was only opened up at 3am EST last night, pity I have to work today :)

Installing it now.. yeah been waiting for generations, had a computer arcade/internet store (Battlegrounds) with 12 computers back in the day with ID and Blizzard games was awesome and had lots of fun until the big fight over licensing issues. But yeah diablo series was a big money maker and i had folks living at the store lol.. Anyhow im looking forward to it and i hope it keeps some old style of play at heart but we will see..

Teetering on the edge of whether or not I should purchase this game....

Loved Diablo II back in the day. Guys from the counter-strike clan and I used teamspeak to talk in game rather than typing and then just rushed each other's new characters up to high levels, donated items, etc. I prolly could have sold all the items on my character if I didn't let them expire.

Well I got to play a little bit till servers crashed again.. atm they seem to be having server issues so no reason to jump in yet... Was expecting much better graphics but i didnt even get to go past the intro but the feel so far is allot like the old diablo 2. although havent had a chance to do allot of fighting was reading more on the quest and such at the first village until the server went boom... go figure lol..

I got a good way through the first act I think, perhaps almost to the skeleton king which I think is the end of that part. It's got very much the feel of Diablo II (which is good) with a lot of the quirky bugs and gripes taken out, easy to get used to the controls given the gameplay. And I like the graphics, so glad to be able to play in 1920x1080..

All in all - very good so far..

I kind of expected the servers to have trouble first few days, I think the demand is extremely high!!

What is this Diablo thing everyone on the net is talking about.......? :P :D :P

Never got into that game, Though I may give it a look see.

Played with my nephew and his friends for several hours yesterday. Gotta love the new Barabarian class - it fits my play style. After many tries, we defeated the Skeleton King. Whew! It wasn't easy. Didn't have any server isuues - we played 6-10 PM, Eastern. My Battle.net username is RadCazz; Barbarian name is Wulfgar.

I do have one question:

(1) When I first went to play Diablo III, I received a message telling me that I should update my NVIDIA display driver. So, I went to NVIDIA website and received a message that I should go to my laptop's maufacturer website to download the driver instead. I downloaded the NVIDIA VGA display driver (Apr 2012) from the Acer website. When I run the setup.exe file, I keep getting a "Hardware not found" error. :confused: In a nutshell, I can't update my driver. Anyone have a fix for this?

(2) I have an Acer Aspire 5745G laptop with an NVIDIA Ge Force GT 330M graphics card with Windows Professional OS.

I couldn't get on to the server last night, I know they were having issues, probably a good thing as I needed the sleep :)

I had the same message, but I just downloaded the latest driver file direct from nvidia and it installed ok. I think I would just download from there, it sounds like you've got the wrong setup somehow.

Ha! Counter-Strike has that beat! But yeah, yipeee for the classics!

[Bok]

I just took on the Skeleton King and beat him at first try, though it was close! I haven't tried multi-player yet, want to get through it all on my own first.. :)

To commemorate the big two-oh years since its release, Bethesda has offered up the full Wolfenstein 3D experience to play for free in your web browser. Not only that, you'll also be able to play the id original on iOS devices gratis (at least for today) and creator John Carmack has decided to offer us a director's commentary on the game's development while shooting his way through a few levels. Watch, nod and reminisce right after the break, then hit up the source to play for yourself.

You guys are making me want to go buy it tonight.

@ Bok... What fun is doing it all on your own first? Level up and do everything together! That was always the fun in D2 when my counter-strike clan members would play and talk via teamspeak.

[Bok]

I never get continuous hours of free time unfortunately so always just play in bursts of 45 mins or so here and there :)

[Crazybob's Son]

Damn you guys and your tempting.... Now I need to know everyone's acct names to add to my f list if that still exists from D2 (installing now)

...almost bought a copy today. No price on it at MicoCenter so I didn't spring for it. I liked the previous versions though.

You should have just assumed that it was $59.99 (http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0388873) like everywhere else. The only way I found it to be cheaper would have been buying two copies or one copy and $40 worth of something else and using the revtrax coupon at compusa to get $10 off of $100.
