Someone got his CE and captured some screens of the cinematics - I don't know what they contain but they are apparently huge spoilers from the comments...

I discretely posted about this some pages ago but it was ignored ;_;

I just placed an order on this, should have it by Wednesday or Thursday next week. Unfortunately I won't be able to play it in a resolution higher than 640 x 480, at least without a massive frame rate drop, but I can probably tweak it (more than I could in the beta test anyway).


Sounds like a great retro way to play. ;)

Guess I didn't want it to be too much highlighted :/
Oh well, it seems the guy will upload the videos in the next hours.

I know some people want to know this stuff before so and others would want to avoid them.
Huge exclamation marks hopefully solves both problems at the same time.

I know I will stay away from all the spoilery stuff - although I have some ideas due to TV spots and datamined content already.

Hooooly shit. An extra 30 pages since I went to sleep and woke up. This thread is insane. There's like an extra 10 posts every time I refresh the page. Im guessing the Lord of Hype is writhing in ecstasy right about now.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
I will never understand why people would want to spoil a game like this, even just for themselves.
One of my Diablo-buddies never really were interested in the story/lore in games... he keeps asking me if I know this or that. I tell him unlike him, I'd love to keep the story unrevealed until I actually finish the game. He's like "What, why?"

That shit infuriates me to no end.

Hmm, DH in Hardcore does sound like a good idea..

But I'm not gonna use it till I have finished my quest with the Monk so HC will have to wait.

Personally, I would agree with most things, but with a game like this? A game that you're gonna zoom through in like 15 hours and then replay a ton of times? story is auxiliary to gameplay for me. neat to know what happens, but not the focus. It's like the starcraft 2 pros who -still- haven't beaten campaign because it's just not their focus.

Sigh... I guess I'll just obey Jay and stay out of every site except for GAF... hopefully it's safe around here.

I have a question about Blizzard's writing team. I had some free time last weekend (fam went to the inlaws for the day) so I picked up the Book of Cain read it. The story isn't too bad for a videogame franchise.

So my question is: do we know how much of the Diablo story Metzen is responsible for? I know he is heavily involved with the WOW story, which is a horrible mess. And his portrayal of Imperious in the cartoon was juvenile at best. But if he had something to do with the Book of Cain then I guess he has some potential after all. By videogame story standards anyway.

I'm happy we have an OT now, but I guess I'm just gonna avoid it until release. There are spoilers everywhere on the web, and I'm sure it's just a matter of time until some asshole just posts some unmarked stuff here.

See you guys in a week. Take care.

I couldn't agree more! The accuracy with the pen tablet and how easy it is to move around really blew my mind. My only gripe is I use an older pen which is much smaller than the current Wacom pens and the button on the pen itself is a bit of a pain to keep track of at times.

Yes. Moving around is so easy.
It only gets a bit hard when there are a lot of enemies around.

Im thinking of getting a new Wacom partially for this game. My grapphire 2 is getting old.

Hopefully Metzen has an extremely small part of the lore in Diablo III. But he probably has the majority of it, unfortunately.

How should I know? I haven't seen the screens myself. I think it's an option for people who do want to know in advance - nobody is forcing you ;-).
You posted them and haven't looked at them yourself? YOU EVIL, EVIL PERSON! :p

I'll probably watch within the next few days, I don't think I can hold out for 5 and half more days or so without spoiling SOMETHING for myself.

Whyyyy must the leaks come this early. No stream watching for me of any games either...people can leave a shit head comment to spoil as I tend to read stream monster chat.

Even GAF makes me feel antsy. :(

Well i wanted to at first as I didn't know they would contain spoilers - but the poster was nice enough to make it clear that they were huge spoilers... bullet dodged :-D

Thinking about potential spoilers has me thinking about when I get the CE in my hands. A careful unboxing, looking without looking, just to grab the card with my key on it and immediately close it until I finish normal. Heh. Ok, I'm sure I'll take out the skull to admire too.

I suggest you to watch an Asura's Wrath playthrough on YT - I was skeptic but it was beatiful.

I just watch the unboxing of the CE..

I kind of regret it :/

Oh well~

The important thing is that baby coming into my hands :D

Yeah - it sucked over the past weekend when people were throwing Avengers spoilers around. This is so much worse.
