Apologies if this is ofn, did not see it on first few pages.

My son sent me the following link;

http://kotaku.com/5874025/is-diablo-iii-coming-out-february-1-best-buy-seems-pretty-sure

Short excerpt from story;

Joystiq snagged a photo of the display in question after a Canadian Twitter user noticed it while on a shopping trip to Minnesota. The display advertises a midnight launch for Diablo III on February 1, along with a digital countdown timer. That's not the sort of ad you put up on a lark. That takes the guys from electronics helping out, maybe even some really expensive cables.

Also, followed up the story and found;

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Diablo+III+-+Mac/Windows/1800081.p?id=1218292463150&skuId=1800081

thinking

I know, I know. That is a damn cruel hoax if it turns out to be one.

I'm hoping it'll come out later, might not be done with SWTOR by then.

You do know it'd be WoW all over again, right?

I liked hacking the crap out of Diablo 1 characters and waiting for some cheating pk to test me.

gamestop had pre-orders for the end of January...

that's not saying much but Feb seems about right for sure before July

it's not going to be a spectacular game probably as good as D2 but everything I've seen shows that's it doesn't bring anything all that new to the table updated graphics and a physics engine

a new skill system one I don't entirely like it seems far more shallow then we had before plus the runes that mix and change your skills seem ripe for exploits and glitching

7/10 ')

yes I am excited to play it angel

I would think like with Duke Nukem, the longer you wait for a game the more disappointed you're going to be with it

I used to hack so much in that game. One time I saw a warrior with a god damn 2-handed staff, figured guy must be cheating one way or another so smacked him with a level 38 Fireball. He died.

Duke was a 1999 showcase game wink anyone that used to play Quake 2 or Doom 1 would see the signs

I don't think it was developed much from where 3D realms left off after Gearbox took over which is really sad seems more like a marketing decision more then an artistic one.

Lets release the lost levels of Duke Nukem Forever to cash in and put as little money into it as we can...

I pre tested that one so glad I didn't invest in it as much as I love Borderlands it did give me some insight into Gearbox Studios.

I just hope they put some effort into Borderlands 2 I didn't really feel I got my moneys worth out of Borderlands either the traliers led me to believe the story would be much richer and deeper. In all honesty I feel it could of used a few more cut scenes and npc interaction.

It's a great game to play with friends in co-op but the single player is very lacking.

I realize that wink

I'm all for min-maxing but I don't like to be forced into it I had all sorts of gimps in AC as well as a few templates of the month.

If you play single player you can get away with some gimpy D2 characters and get through hell pretty well ok.

If you play on-line your almost forced to do the above

that being said my favorite character was my no health ice sorc
