Diablo III (PC)
rank:315
release date: 04/10/2099


^ Made me laugh.

I already consider Diablo games MMO... Simply because you always retain your characters, as for a MMORTS? It would be the SWEETEST game ever.

Vivendi yep yep yep. After WoW hit they are happy as hell... And what does Vinvendi want again some more games like WoW...



Starcraft RPG + RTS style biggrin.gif that would be cool and lame...

Cool
You can get stronger, and build your RTS skill with character level and other speical stuff...

Lame
What about the guys who start out fresh... its obvious they will loose if someone else has more overall points or better heros or what not...


Diablo III should be like Diablo 2 but a little more open, and I would like to say money worth something lol haha... And if you can buy specail stuff from dealers... Also if a map can hold just more people biggrin.gif

Pretty much im just saying Guild Wars style of community but everything is Diablo II style...

that would be awesome biggrin.gif no monthly fee yep no no no...



Hmm might be trouble to make new story for Diablo 3... Probablly Heaven vs Hell...

Omg its like WoW Horde vs Alliance biggrin.gif


Diablo 2 is like a SMMORPG biggrin.gif yep the S for Small...

Actually it wouldn't be hard to make a new story for Diablo.
The story has always been about Heaven vs Hell. Belial and Azmodan are still alive and the Worldstone was just destroyed. Not sure what the Worldstone means but all the people in Act 5 were like "Thats bad...but if Tyreal thinks its good.." Azmodan and Belial are the last 2 lesser evils(Duriel, Andarial, Azmodan, Belial). They are the aggressive ones. If it wasn't for there greed for power.....the war would be over. Hell would have won.
I know the Diablo backstory like the back of my hand....they explain it nice in the Diablo 1 manual.

btw MM = Massively Multiplayer.... while Diablo's are multiplayer they are not Massively Multiplayer in anyway...cuz 8 players is a lot less than 1000 - 10000. The creators behind Guild Wars hate it when people call it a MMO, they said that in there FAQ or an interview...

Thank God... I still want to see a RTS StarCraft II, thank you...

Vivendi made 50 Cent's game look crap, they'll make Blizzard's games look crap. The only good games they make is SWAT 4 and Simpsons: Hit & Run.

Especially since they lost Valve. Valve is now self-publishing although for retail they just throw a game at EA and tell them to put it on the shelves. I like EA (more than I did before) for agreeing to such a contract. They give you much better stuff than Vivendi, none of this paper case crap. I mean I bought Episode 1 for $14 and I got a nice big hard case.

I remember when Vivendi didn't buy Sierra. Blizzard games came in nice Jewel cases and had big manuals. Now the manuals have been shrunk and paper case hell!!!

Heee... Sierra used to make great games, especially when it released Tribes for Dynamix.

And Empire Earth was theirs, too, I believe.

Thank God, I have a big feeling an SC MMO would suck majorly. I hope majorly is a world.

One of the bliz lead designers even said in a video recorded interview, that even if he wanted to, he can't make another mmo. Or even begin making another one. Not now anyways. He's way too busy working and playing (maybe mostly playing) wow. (Blizz is addicted to their own merchandise)

More like Blizzard Franchises going emo. Someone at Vivendi should be slapped for coming up with such a riduclious idea.

I mean, come on, do the people who decide this crap even know what they are talking about?

A MMORPG would suck, but a MMORTS would rule all... Like StarCraft, but with all 255 player per game. Everyone in Korea would die.

"Worlds of Starcraft" was a joke made by Gamespot for April Fools, and existence of it was denied. So its not like anyone really believed it anyway.

From a neutral point of view, I know that you guys think that MMO's aren't worth it and such. Fact is that MMO's attract a much larger amount of money, and im most cases, they are highly flexible.
