    I want to get it out of nostalgia, but at the same time, I don't want to play it.

    I’ll get it but I’m not sure when I’ll play it. The list of games I got is piling up and there are more great games coming out at the end of the year. I wonder if we will be able to organize PVC groups.

    Does the PC version still have that always online DRM thing? I would assume that isn't being ported over.

    OMG PC version is no going have sucky ported controls but will still look better because of 16xAA lolz.

    I can't believe their auction house will use "REAL" money. WTF? Really?

    Are players going to make any money from these auction houses from selling?

    South Korea may ban Diablo III because they consider the mechanism to be too close to gambling.

    Do they ban home insurance then?

    That is without PvP isn't it? I am sure I saw somewhere this week that Blizzard said it wasn't good enough so they were going to release the game without it and patch it in later.
     
  15. #15 alterego, Mar 15, 2012
    Yes, I believe that's still the case. Launch on the 15th, then release the PvP arena later.

    Looks like Diablo 3 will run really well even on the crappiest of computers:

    Blizzard really knows how to optimize their games.

    They didn't do the sandy/ivy bridge gpu's. If I knew it would work on my sandy bridge i3 laptop I would probably pick it up.
