You guys are incredibly stupid. I posted a video from Gametrailers.com that had 19 minutes of gameplay. WATCH IT!!!!!

Most likely D3 and SC2. I have played D1 and D2 loved both. Also played SC and that thing is my addiction. Blizzard has always produced great games. All had good single player campaigns (didn't have internet back in the day so couldn't play on Bnet).

My main stick with GW 2 is this, they have announced it for awhile and nothing is known about it, beyond moving towards more persistant zones and a simple timeline and possible playable races. No screenshots, not even an artists render. While Blizzard in the same space of time has already released gameplay vid of both D3 and SC2 and detailing info on each.

I don't get hyped on secrecy in fact it is almost as bad as over hyping a game. If I don't start seeing some more news on GW2 by the end of the year, I most likely wont even bother.

And....?

What does that have to do with anything I said. All the footage/screens released are from Act I.

Mhmhmhmhm. You only said screenshots though, you must see my reasoning based off your original post. I figured you had not seen any footage. Mhmhmmhmh.

Edit: Changing one's original statement is no way to prove a point. A video is always more solid evidence then screenshots, especially when the screenshots are taken from the given source video. So why not REFERENCE the video rather then referencing screenshots. Sure its nitpicking but given the general intelligence of forum goers here you'd be surprised at about just how many posts of valid information get over looked. I assure you out of all the people who've posted on this thread, probably a good 75% still don't even know the 19 minute demo exists- albeit they would be inclined to watch it if they did. The apparently from Act 1, after watching the video- should be a definitely from act 1. I guarantee if they release a demo, this will be probably the gameplay that they allow you to go through. Sure its more "logical" to always know that theres a slight chance, but com'n this is blizzard the most RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOing predictable game makers in the entire market.

Wait till you see the preview triller for GW2 and until it comes out to decide :P

I do hope Anet comes out with a trailer or something by the end of the year. And not the rehash FAQ they had posted on MMORPG.com. Honestly not asking for a lot. Class info or maybe a few skill details etc.

Alastair · Jul 11, 2008, 07:55 PM // 19:55

I will be playing Diablo 3

Fuzzie · Jul 13, 2008, 10:15 AM // 10:15

rock band 2... will be out sooner *Drools

The Red Messenger · Jul 13, 2008, 09:44 PM // 21:44

i'll be buying both for sure.

obviously the one that comes out first im gonna be playing first. when they are both out, ill probably play em both for a little bit until one proves more addicting than the other...

Dronte · Jul 28, 2008, 08:50 PM // 20:50

I gotta rez up this thread

I'm gonna play Diablo 2.

Corwin_Andros · Jul 28, 2008, 10:12 PM // 22:12

GW2 definitely.. D3 more than likely. As to how big a rush I'll be in to play D3, that depends largely on how well Sacred2 comes out. I actually liked Sacred over D2, having spent 100's of hours on both. That and the fact that Sacred2 is due out in the next couple months or so.

GW's camera control has tainted me for most other games....

I even find myself trying to change the angle of view on my browser every now and then

Hahahaha, when I saw the thread topic I was thinking the exact same thing. ArenaNet has been pretty good with releasing campagnes and expansions on demand from the public... I'm a little worried with them not sharing any info on GW2 yet, but hey, they have good credit history so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt.

Blizzard... As great as the games are that they release, their development team apparently doesn't let deadlines bother them. One can still look at this reasonably with the mind set that "you can't rush greatness" but c'mon... How many years has SC2 been under development and how many times did they scrap it and start over? Then things almost went south when they brought SC:Ghost to Blizzcon and that turned out to be a steaming pile of fish sausage. Sure sure, not the same development team, but hey, it has Blizzard's name on it so I can bad mouth them for being slackers.

To stay on topic, I must say that I'll probably play both. I like Guild Wars and always have, and Diablo was probably the first major computer game that I really got into. D3 looks like most people suspected it would, the trailer aroused most of us but if we had a chance to plan out D3, it would probably look exactly like that. I'm hoping that ArenaNet will take GW2 somewhere fresh as they're still being bested by a lot of MMO's in many areas.

Time will tell which one steals my heart, but I'm open to either one at the moment.
