Being that you have a quad core I wouldn't worry at all about performance. As long as they add up to more than 3GHz you should be fine. Since you have a quad core I'm sure you have more than a gig or 2 of ram. The only thing you should be worried about is your graphics card. You didn't mention what you have but chances are you'll run fine, but if you want the game to look its best you'll need to upgrade. In my experience stock computers usually don't come with a great graphics card. Unless you buy something built for gaming like an alienware, or XPS.

For the future, if anyone reading this thinks their graphics card might not cut it even when some specs are released, try this before buying a new graphics card.

There is a free program, here, called 3D Analyze. What this program does is emulates a better graphics card on your computer. How is that possible, you say? Its easy, it uses your processor to help with the graphics. That being said, you should understand that you need a lot of processor speed or you won't be able to do anything but play D3. It will seem confusing at first, and it should be. This program breaks it down to what exactly you need your graphics card to improve on, you can even pretend you have a completely different graphics card (one of three choices). If you get lost, the help file will tell you everything you could ever want to know (English and German translations only).

This program isn't designed to make a game run on your computer that normally wouldn't; it is to make things look a little better than what you already have.

I didn't sign the petition, but I do think they could have at least made it a little darker than it is. It has been said now though that as you progress through the game it gets gradually darker, which is good. I'm fine with the art direction and their decision to keep it. I'll still buy the game and I'll still love it. I also don't mind the shoulders being big its not that big of a deal really.

I just have a gut feeling they wouldn't make Diablo so obvious.
I mean the idea of Diablo just coming back like that is so mainstream; The return of diablo.

It's 50/50 for me. I'm thinking somewhere along the game they'll be a flashback of Diablo,
which means the Diablo were seeing here doesn't actually exist in the current time line. Just a thought.

You forget that Diablo itself is mainstream. I agree it is kind of repetitive but they have ensured their selves limitless sequels due to the fact that killing him only sends him back to the Black Abyss, he never really dies.

There is also a small chance that Diablo says "The smell of Life surrounds me."

It's rare, or at least it was, it may have been patch out, or removed prior to release. Several other characters had lines of dialog that we didn't hear, but if you have a MPQ editor you can hear them.

I never got to hear him say it; the times that I was listening anyway. For the most part I mostly played D2 with some kind of music going and all the diablo sounds turned off. I have heard the character lines though, its on youtube somewhere.

What if....

What if.......

WHAT IF!!!!!!

:offtopic:I immediately was reminded of that Creed song:offtopic:

Well if D3 sucks then I guess it will have just sucked and I'll feel like I wasted some money. What else do you really expect me to say?

And the others ment not to take your theory so serious and rub it in everyones face.

Daemaro takes his idea so seriously because its more likely to be right than anything else. I mean honestly, think about it, who else could that angel be?

You guys are arguing like you haven't learned anything about debating in your life. The first rule is a person is going to stand behind what they believe until proven otherwise. That being said, telling Daemaro hes wrong because you think such-n-such is not a good argument. You have to have some sort of hard evidence for why he might be wrong. And from personal experience, Daemaro takes it well. I was the first to intelligently argue the "upturned sword" deal. Daemaro didn't come back with shots at me saying I'm wrong because he thinks its an upturned sword. Instead, he pointed out that I was the first to put some real thought and research into it. He took my argument for what it was rather than just saying I was wrong. Whether I changed his mind or not (I didn't, but I wasn't trying to, I just don't see that as an upturned sword. I do think its Imperius) isn't important. The fact that he took my argument into consideration, is.

I happened to read through the past couple pages and it was all about if diablo is in the game and will he be the last boss. First of all, off topic is off topic, it doesn't matter if it was just for a few posts. Secondly, Daemaro was right when he pointed out that Baal was the true villain in D2. Sure, diablo started out as the last boss, as he may well be the same in D3, but that doesn't mean it will stay that way.

As someone else said in another thread. Waa waa waa waambulance. You're still going to buy it.

I never payed attention to that now that you mention it. There was a slowing factor in D2 when you wore heavier armor. I just watched a small bit of him running naked at the beginning and then when he was fighting the thousand pounder with all the armor on, I didn't see any noticeable difference.

Everyone keeps mentioning a new class, and even I have. But the more I think about it, Blizzard would be doing themselves a favor if they kept one of the new classes a secret. So that on release day everyones even more excited to see what the last class is. We know there will be at least one more new class, and at least one more returning class.

I expect a new class at Blizzcon but after that I wouldn't expect something new for a while.

do you guys think that there will be an enemy that is immune to bricks? lol just wondering

you know like in hell mode everyones immune to something.. :rolleyes:

I can almost guarantee that all bosses will me immune to environmental attacks; or there won't be any around the area. Of course there will be stuff you can break, but maybe not like that wall.

2011 isn't even believable. They're just trying to play with your head.

2011 is not even believable. Not even Blizzard would announce a game knowing it would be that long before release. They're just playing with your head.

Does this really belong here?

This has been mentioned already.
