Finally I can abandon real life once more!

 

Time to book time off work! I have anual leave that needs using anyway!

Celebrate good times..... my social life is about to go to hell lol

 

Haha, join the club!

 

Can't wait!

 

One week booked

Edit: So will be available for some online pewpew if you fancy making some groups.

 

Awesome! It's my birthday that week so thanks Blizzard!

*scurries off to find holiday booking form*

 

Crap... this gives me 2 months to clear my backlog before I even go near this. Will preorder anyway though

 

2 months?

Even if I game non stop I'd still only be about half way through my backlog...

 

I was a massive fan of the original Diablo and part of me is really looking forward to playing this. The other part of me wonders whether I might be deeply disappointed when (if) it fails to live up to my memories.

Looking at the screenshots it feels like, apart from the graphics and a few tweaks, it hasn't really moved on. We're living in a world of Skyrim and Borderlands and many, many copies of the original Diablo. And having played a number of those copies I must admit I eventually got so bored I just stopped buying them.

I hold out hope that they are able to re-create the magic of Diablo and all my concerns will be forgotten.

I do think Blizzard need to move on though. Re-creating old franchises with a few tweaks is hardly innovative...and those who fail to innovate, eventually die. Or start doing something desperate like putting pandas or pokemon in their games. D'oh!

 

Me 2 mate. A good mate and me plan to stock his bachelor pad with booze and frozen oven pizza's and not emerge into daylight for at least that whole week!

 

ah who would have guessed at a release date around that time

Wonder what other hotly anticipated titles get released around same time

 

I've never played the Diablo's before but have this pre ordered. I'd be well up for joining a few of you guys if you don't mind. I come armed with a ten man mumble server.

 

Im same as parge. Not played it before and will deffo be getting this. Would love to join in with you guys

 

I'll happily join up for some group action. Diablo really is a game made or broken by the people you play with unless you play solo.

 

Max Payne 3 on the same date, if they're smart they'll push it up to the weekend before the 15th, rockstar that is.

Oh well, 2 weeks booked off.

 

I can't wait to start playing this game.

 

updated my wow account to a yearly pass so I could get this free... wow now works out at £5 a month

 

£45.

Its just too much for me atm.

Its a real shame.

Will have to see how good it looks once its out.

 

Just over £30 on Amazon. I'm not so desperate to play it the second it's released that I'd actually pay £45 for the direct download.

 

hmmmmm when to book the last of my holidays for the year....
