This may seem like the obligatory Diablo 3 comic but I think you guys will begrudge me a bit.
I took some time for myself on the 4th of July and FINALLY got around to playing Diablo 3. I bought it on launch day but never really had the time to sit down and play it so I decided to celebrate the day by having a nice quiet night of reading comics, eating a burger, and playing some Diablo. I know, it’s all hookers and blow over here.
There are a ton of reviews out there for Diablo 3 that will do the job better than I, so I will keep it simple: As a fan of the series, I am not disappointed. Diablo 3 is fun, easy to remember (or pick up the first time), and the story is interesting. Sure, I hate that I HAVE to be connected to the internet to play but it is what it is. I’m glad I own it and I am excited to finish the playthrough on normal and move into the harder difficulties.
I am also ready/excited for Torchlight 2. Chomping at the bit for that one, actually.
COMMENTERS: What are you playing lately? Is there something out there you want to tell everyone about?
You were a templar, Jondar!
A health disrespect for the dead is a roleplaying trope that will never leave us; thankfully. Great comic.
In the time honored traditions set down in the Book of Gygax: Mourn the dead. Take their stuff.
the group I used to DM had a short term ally of a chromatic half dragon… who soon after died in combat. They took what they wanted of his gear then used his naked corpse to test a teleportation tile.
Ahh, my poor old computer is so patched together at this moment I can’t play any games. But probably for the better since I’m pretty busy to begin with, I really don’t need any more “distractions.”
Although once I get a new computer its time to get Skyrim and disappear for 6 months…
Much the same boat. About the only graphics mine can handle these days is ASCII, so it’s Dwarf Fortress for me.
I have the Diablo III start edition installed. I played it once or twice, but it isn’t exactly something I’m going back to play. I don’t know, it seems to be missing something that Diablo II had. I am unsure how to really quantify it?
I did play the Beta for Torchlight II, however. I really want that game. I daresay I am more interested in T2 than Diablo III.
I’m still down with NWN2, since I play on a RP-Server named Rivin.
But sometimes I change to ME3 Multiplayer.
“Sure, I hate that I HAVE to be connected to the internet to play but it is what it is.”
If people put up with this kind of thing, it’s just going to encourage more of it to be seen in the future. Although I enjoyed both previous parts of the series, I’m not touching D3 until the must-be-online thing is gone (not holding my breath).
Lately I’ve been playing small indie games, the original Neverwinter Nights and City of Heroes. And tabletop, of course.
Played D3 for about a week, got through normal and most of nightmare on my barbarian…and I’m now back to playing old games I never quite got around to completing.
