It looks pretty. It looks fun. I can't wait to play it, and I don't care
whatever you guys say about it.
I quite enjoyed the game trailer. I especially enjoyed the "taffy pull" kill by
the boss at the end.

I haven't checked the trailer, but I think I can imagine it quite
well...
Some dude or chick running around clicking on 10 mobs around him/her
and then collecting the green/blue items that drop.
I kinda liked Diablo 1, I forced myself to finish Diablo 2, but didn't
bother with the expansion.  I don't know what is it that people like
about this type of games, to me it's just mindless clicking and
collecting items, if you wear a brain activity scanner hat while
playing it, I'm sure it'll show 0 activity except the area that
controls your mouse finger, 100% activity in those 5 brain cells :)

Shame for you...D2 was so much more than just a clickfest, as much as it
was that too. It was about the phat loot & trying diff builds & MF runs
& rare drops & hell strategies & the online community (a lot of peeps
still here) & nail-biting hardcore gameplay & great times with some
great ppl, to name but a few things. If you only played it solo mostly,
you didn't really experience D2, I'm sorry to have to tell you Wolf ;-p.

If you enjoy pvp sure, I sure as hell don't. But I don't think D2 was
really an 'online game'. The online part probably came as a nice
addition, but then people liked it and it grew from there. Correct me
if I'm wrong, but I think D2 is really a single player action RPG,
that you can also play online, as opposed to, an online game with a
single player component.
I think the problem is that, to me, it's all about character growth,
where equipment plays a very minor part, so getting a 'hat of maximum
uberness +3' that replaces my 'helmet of uber maximumness +2' doesn't
make me much happier. Same as how I never got into WoW and their daily
raids of the same dungeon over and over for a chance to get some piece
of equipment.
