That's not a positive thing. Just makes it nerdier :-P

I agree with mr. Butterknife. I never understood the point of the previous games, as I'm sure I wont with this. Clicking my left mouse like an adhd kid high on sugar has just never appealed to me.

Well, I loved diablo 1 and 2. And graphic-wise this one doesn't look bad.

Is there any news of new classes or just new skills for the old ones?

EDIT: Never mind one new one and two old ones at least. Diablo III - Character Classes

It's fun because its simple. You go out, you kill shit, and you get stronger by doing so. Then you fight bosses and complete whogivesashitaboutthese quests. The draw is absolutely mowing down wave after wave of mobs when you are outnumbered 100 - 1. However, it's terribly boring to play alone, but with 4-8 friends playing together the game rocks my socks. It's good while sober, or while drunk. Simplicity rules.

i think they are getting rid of the right-click/left-click attacking. that made me really depressed. in its place, they are putting the gay skill bar just like in guild wars, wow, and city of heroes/villains.

the GW skill bar stil makes it uber simple, and you can hot key it too. It's still a 3D mouse masher!

yeah the skillbar is simple. but the right/left attacking made D2 that much better than all the other games... actually i heard that they might have the right/left attacking AND the skillbar. but then where would the chug pots button go?

After seeing the classes, I think that this version of Diablo will be even worse than Diablo 2. The wizard seems much less powerfull, the barbarian looks blown up, and the witch doctor has some interesting attacks, but not really astonishing.
