Can You Run It?

Go to the link and it will tell you if your system can run it, if looking at system specs isn't your forte. Hope it helps

5 Reasons 'Diablo III' Represents Gaming's Annoying Future

If given a choice between going back and living in the year 1982 and sitting in a chair made of living dicks, most of us would choose the dicks. After all, back then you had almost zero control over your entertainment -- you watched shows and movies when they wanted you to. (This was even before everybody had VCRs -- if you missed it live, you missed it forever.) All technological progress since then has been devoted to letting us watch shows or movies when we want. Video games, however, are going the opposite direction.
For a prime example, let's take the just-released Diablo III.

I haven't been excited about a video game in a long, long time. It's not because I've hit some magical stage of adulthood that makes me hate fun things, or that I'm so busy that I can't find time for simple entertainment. Give me a good enough game, and I'll make time for it. Give me something spectacular, and I'll call in sick for it. Give me something I've waited 12 years for, and I'll burn down my grandma's house for a copy.

The smoldering charcoal on my grandma's scorched lawn means that Diablo III came out two days ago. Unfortunately for her, I didn't realize until later that arson in no way affects the game's availability. Especially since you can just download it directly from their website instead of camping out in front of the store on opening day. So I did:

I filled out the information and downloaded their installer. Then I moved it to the upper right hand corner of my screen so it would look like my desktop wallpaper was licking it out of pure joy.

"Mmmmm, that's some good installation, John. Thank you for letting me lick it with my giant cow tongue," I voiced as I watched the progression bar slowly tick to the right.
"I know, Mrs. Cow. I love you. You're always so nice to me."
"You know what, John? You're a good guy. It doesn't matter what the rest of the world thinks of you. Just know that I love you, and that's all that matters."
I did this for about an hour, pausing every couple of minutes to weep softly into my hands, until the game was fully downloaded and installed. So far, so good ...

#5. "Ready to Play Your Single-Player Game Alone? Please Log In."

When that bar turned green and the "Play" button lit up, my dong rose like 20 tiny Amish guys were pulling on it with ropes. I clicked "play" and then "I agree" on not one, but three "User Agreement" screens. That's when the first smoke alarm went off in my head.

Wait, I have to sign a contract to play the game that I just paid for? Do I need to get a lawyer? Can I do something in the game that could get me into legal trouble? I mean, I don't plan on playing public games or anything -- just me in my computer room, killing evil and screaming curse words until I lose my voice.

But I convinced myself it was nothing to get worked up about. It's just there to save their asses in case some random jackoff finds a way to make money off of them via lawsuit. Fine. I got through them all and was immediately taken to a screen that pulled the alarms from the back of my mind directly to the front, and cranked up the volume to "nuclear attack" levels.

For the six of you who just discovered the Internet today, that's a login screen. It's commonly associated with multiplayer online games like World of Warcraft and ... whatever other multiplayer games exist. Except there's a problem: Diablo III isn't a traditional MMO. You don't sign in to the game and immediately find yourself surrounded by a hundred other players shouting racial and homophobic slurs. You are in your own world. By yourself. Single player.

It is a single-player game with multiplayer options, just like all the other Diablo games. If you choose to play with your friends, you can. If you choose to join public games, you can. Otherwise, you're on your own -- and contrary to what MMO fanatics believe, this is the way millions of gamers prefer it.

But for the second time, I had to take a breath and remind myself that it's nothing to get worked up about. We've been fucking the gaming industry since the very first video game was invented. They put up with piracy for decades, and so far nothing has worked to stop it. This is just what they've come to, and if signing in to their servers helps prevent theft, then I'm all for it. The more money they make, the more resources they have to put back into expansions and content. Fine.

#4. "Now Customize Your Single-Player Character as You Please ... Wait, Not Like That."

#3. "Sorry, You Can't Play Your Single-Player Game Because Our Computer Is Broken."

#2. "Sorry, You Can't Play Your Game Right Now. Somebody Else's Game Is Broken."

#1. "We Thank You for Your Patience. Also, This Is the Future of Gaming, Fucker."

I see, Thanks =)




and Server is down =(

[F34R]

I've kinda loved it to death already, but at times, I miss D2LOD Lol. I'm still learning things about the game, and playing it with someone at home, then friends and a few other family members; so that's making it really enjoyable.

Your status is good enough already to play games? The archangels armor in Diablo 3 cinematics is just beyond awesomeness, i would like to have such an armor set in real life xD

If you knew me from before this thing happened, and then came over today, you wouldn't even think anything was wrong with me. I haven't read too much into the game yet though. Just kinda playing it really. Learning about the best spells, gear, etc., is something I decided NOT to do lol. I wanna play and learn. I bought a single copy from bnet, then bought my wife a physical copy from Wal-Mart, and she LOVES the game lol.

[Cybertox]

Good that everybody is enjoying the game. I cant buy the game yet will have to wait. I have got a question though, wtf happened to the other two brother demons of Diablo, they didnt even appear in the game.

[mooninites]

I'm loving this game. Even tho there is significant lag because my laptop sucks I'm still loving it. Witch doctor is pretty bad Ass. I find the leveling somewhat slow tho. At lvl 8 and it took me a while to get there. Might be because i can't get any good kill streaks from the lag. Definitely fun tho.

Edit: If anyone needs a guest pass i think i have a couple laying around. Just pm me.

The near 500ms ping that occurs sometimes can get fucking annoying sometimes but as long as I realise it's that time of the day in America I can plan around it

I won't mention exactly what but the character idiocy was fucking annoying, there was literally no mystery in the games story. At the very start of the game I told a friend that something will happen and someone will be a part of that happening and exactly what that person was and when asked how I knew that I said "It's 2012 and what I said would take the least amount of effort to do so it'll be what happens" and every moment during the course of it ALL coming true I was laughing at just how accurate I was lol



Though all that crap aside and the disgusting crap about the always online part I am enjoying it, the story is stupid but that was expected. The looting is fun and although simple and far slower then D2 the battles in the harder difficulty can be a lot of fun. I just wish some of the abilities weren't COMPLETELY useless

[Nakatomi Uk]

What a load of crap the servers are down due to a bug and I cant even play offline with my single player characters what a load of s***

[Terminator 101]

Going by what Nakatomi wrote, it looks like the article that gangsta_795 posted is spot on.

Hopefully they can find some kind of work around for this DRM for singleplayer.
Maybe they could make it so that you can play offline by having a copy of your profile encrypted on your HDD, which will then synchronize with the server as soon as you are playing online.

[Cybertox]

Yeah not having an option to play offline is kind of a bummer. Even StarCraft 2 has such an option.
