That "from a new angle" video really highlights to me how wasted these visual resources are in the original game. Imo, Blizz has great artists and sound people, but they weren't enough to make this game enjoyable in an enduring way.
they are being resold at EB and JB.. jbhifi just sold a batch of CE few days ago.. which is prob sold out now..
just get a digital download now..
Well, I honestly don't have money to drop on buying Diablo III a second time right now. But if jbhifi was selling copies of the CE which were from GAME a few days ago, that could mean this was planned. GAME was still promoting preorders the day before yesterday and early yesterday, afaik. If I had asked for a refund two days ago, I would have gotten one.
Is anyone else here in the same boat? I'm trying to figure out how I can get one or the other. I kind of hope Blizzard can find some way to step in, because this only happened yesterday and those copies of the game have to be SOMEWHERE. Where have they gone? Very frustrating.
I dug this cinematic much more than the black soulstone one, but I do have to say that I always felt like there was a feeling of "mystery" to the Diablo series that is kind of getting killed with all this exposure and laying bare of game mechanics and everything else. I'll play the game and I'm sure I'll really like it, but I do feel slightly bummed about some of their decisions.
what concerns me is that i don't get why skills would work this way (in the game world), and that makes it sound really un-diablo-like to me. why does this belong in the diablo universe all of a sudden? maybe i'll play it and they'll have figured out some way to make it seem natural and appropriate, but i've gotta say i'm worried. maybe it's just me, but i don't care if the game has a simple and scaleable skill system anywhere near as much as i care about the whole thing feeling like a diablo game. i know they've tried to have the same philosophy, but there are a few things about their approach that have me a little concerned and this is among them.
Totally love the bounty hunter idea! One thing you could do is have the bounty hunter NPC extract a fee for his/her information. Very high price? You probably won't succeed, but if by some miracle you do, you're getting something very special.
I like the timed infinite dungeon idea also, but the more I think about it the harder I find it to come up with something that makes it really fun.
