Best strategy means, sell alot before game release, release unfinished game

O.I.C.

Then they will win for for sure. Next year's winner will be Aliens Colonial Marines.

Lol look at all the whiny trolls, Love how you butthurts say playing the AH buying gold etc is the only way to get by in this game.

Making money playing the auction house takes a lot of strategy, I suppose.

It does, This is why people are richer than others. But its no surpise a drep like you cant understand.

If your a brainless idiot, Yes you missed something. After reading some posts its clear none of you understands what strategy is. You know, Coming from a guy that had Act 1 inferno on farm as a barb on day 3 i'd say strategy, is quite important. Ah, but look at what i am doing. fighting with butthurts. You derps think the RHAM is bad, Wait intill you meet the cash shop from PoE. Why dig at dirt when it makes you look like crap? Why settle for hotdogs when you can have steak.

I'm sorry but music? For realzies? There is barely any music in the game, most of it is just ambience. D2 or Titan Quest do a way better job of mixing ambience with actual music and I don't recall any of them being contenders for any such awards. In fact I'd say from aesthetic standpoint music is the weakest part of the game due to the ever repeating dungeon themes (why do dungeons in Acts 2 and 3 sound the same as the "music" we heard from the Tristram Cathedral demo years ago? Why the lack of variety?) and the often nondescript sounds lacking any melody that play during most overworld areas. There are some decent pieces of ambience for sure (Fields of Misery ambience for some reason just gets me every time) but I'd hardly qualify that as a reason to make the game a contender. As for strategy I can see that having at least some merit. Diablo 3's combat system definitely innovated the original hack and slash formula (guzzle potions until you run out, get back to town, buy more, and drink drink drink like you never drank before) and introduced a lot more strategic decisions into an otherwise pretty mindless game type.

If by inferno act 1 on farm you mean being able to skip every elite/champ pack to kill butcher, I believe you. Otherwise, haha yea right.

Some of Diablo 3's music has been recorded in Abbey Road Studios, London, that might explain the BAFTA nomination ^.^

i read the title as "nominated for 2 BARFT" awards, and thought: sounds about right.

There are some decent D3 tracks, but it's by far a minority. Most of it is used in the various cinematics.

My opinion towards Diablo III getting a nomination:

Lovely fan art of Auriel! I hope we continue to see more fan art in general of her and some of the less popular characters.
