All,
More ZOMGICFW action from the same people who brought you Brink (or will soon)! Unfortunately Toby won’t play because it is only SP.
That is all,

My Top Ten Commandments for Diablo 3
Posted by tofu on March 16th, 2011 @ 01:54
In case you hadn’t noticed, I’ve been pining for Diablo 3 a little, of late—Scouring the news/rumour sites, searching for any scrap of hope, a release date, a beta program perhaps?
The world is quickly approaching it’s Final Act and I still haven’t had a chance to lose myself in nearly enough demon-bashing, loot-w*****g, or click-click-click-clicking!
To that end, I’ve been devoting some time to mimics of the genre: Torchlight (TL) and Dungeon Hunter 2 (DH2)—Not bad games really, and yet, still unable to satisfactorily scratch my gothic-action-RPG-itch. Why? Well, it’s the little things.
Top Ten
My top ten commandments for the genre should help explain—Diablo 3 devs take note! (who am I kidding?):
| # | Thou shalt not… | D2 | TL | DH2 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 | …force me to drag a pet along that all/most of the time, does very little |  |  | |
| 9 | …make the ‘normal’ game too dang easy | | | |
| 8 | …drop loot from almost every monster | | | |
| 7 | …make me trek back through a map to find the one spot I missed before | | | |
| 6 | …send me on a quest to kill 5 snarks—unless there are 5 snarks out there right now for me to kill, and even then… just don’t | | | |
| 5 | …obscure good items underneath piles of c**p ones | | | |
| 4 | …make me identify each item manually | | | |
| 3 | …snag my movement on obstacles | | | |
| 2 | …make me click to pick up gold manually | | | |
| 1 | …produce a game too similar too WoW * | | | |
* For example:
- Don’t make me ‘fish‘ in a game
- Don’t make the game look too colourful and/or ‘cute’
- See Commandment 6.
You know, I’ve learned something today
Diablo 2 still stacks up pretty well. And if it wasn’t for the fact that it’s ‘high resolution’ mode is only 800×600 I’d probably still be playing it.
We already know that Diablo 3 addresses a number of the issues from previous iterations, will require more strategy behind each click, and is starting to look freakin’ sweet!
I for one look forward to welcoming our new demonic overlords.

Suddenly, vengeance will appear, a hundred hands, thirst and hunger, when the wanderer passes…
