Also, remember this is also part of the fanbase where all these idiots cancelled their preorders over... a Feat of Strength (useless achievement) that you got for being in closed beta.
I got an achievement for beating the closed beta? Wait, that was open beta, nevermind.
Yeah, I read some of these reviews and those guys are obviously usually swinging between the two extremes: "best game evar 10 out of 10" and "requires constant internet connection to play and also something about the actual game... 0/10".
Though to be fair, that "have to be online at all times to play this game" thing might or might not be troublesome, and/or heavy on the bandwidth. My flatmate has got his copy of the game already (apparently playing as the demon huntress) and we share the network, but I did not notice any serious download speed slowdown on my end, and he wasn't complaining. Gotta give Activision Blizz credit for that if it can be run without eating up all of your internets.
Diabolo Number Three is out. I really want to save the Sanctuary from whatever ass-pulled villain beset it (seriously, haven't we murdered all three Prime Evils in cold blood and erased their very souls in D2?), but I feel that it could pose a distraction from the upcoming exams. And well, it is really expensive around here, but I liked the open beta so much I think I'll get it sometime later.
I am really curious about that one part... Will I really still have that monk I created back in open beta if I buy the full game? And are the nicknames unique, meaning no two characters can have the same name?
Because I named my monk Bruce. A really lame name, I obviously had Bruce Lee on my mind when thinking up a name. I was actually surprised that the game did not protest against it like it would in World of Warcraft, saying that "this name is already taken". Could it be that through some twisted sort of luck my idea was so lame it wrapped around all the way back to original and this will actually be the only Bruce on the server? Food for thought.
