IT's AERITH!!!
*insert nerdrage here

gee. at that time I've found my first set piece on inferno...

Aeris Targaryan? :O

"Hardcore", You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Praise the Sun!

Kain dies???

Good thing I don't play Diablo or I'd be pissed at that spoiler.
P.S. Damn it Joe, why did you write a spoiler anyways?

Thanks for the completely unnecessary spoiler.

what was read cannot be unread.

Rosebud, it was my sled.

@Applejack: Think on the good side, now when you hear Twilight you don't think about fairies disguised as vampires, you think about ponies!

Vulpis - keep on waiting, i remember when Blizzard kept 60% of the original price of Warcraft 2 for 10 years.

I never played a Diablo before, but I realized what D3 what giving me deja vu for: Gauntlet for Dreamcast. The mowing down of mooks combined of the hyping up of some boss at the end jogged my memory. They both do this.

@Vulpis: It's not an MMO, which makes things worse.

At a "more slower" pace. Either only "slower", or if you want to stretch it a bit, "more slow".
Sorry, grammar nazi, yadda yadda. Can't hear you over the overwhelming D3 envy.

@Vulpis: Takes longer then that if you wanna get all the endgame goodies :P

@Sip love If it only takes 2-4 days before it has to fall back on 'replayability' to keep your interest in it...it's definitely not worth $60. Then again, as a JRPG player I suppose I'm biased, after putting in 100+ play hours the *first* time through the game. Heck, a good MMO takes a month...

@Chessrook44 Neither, at this point. Once Skyrim drops down into the $20 range, I'd get it, but right now if I had $60 to spare--Guild Wars 2.

@Vulpis:

Please look into the concept of replayablity. It's pretty neat for games like this.

@Twilight Sparkle: Why would you do that to us, Twi?

So...you spent $60 on a game that you beat in a couple of days? Wow, that's value. :-/ And people wonder why I wait for them to drop to $20.

@dvhh: Thanks to Twilight already demoralized vampires too much

What is the point with being afraid of spoilers in THAT kind of game? Story is so generic halfway through 1st act you can guess what's gonna happen at the end.

SPOILER ALERT: You kill stuff in Diablo 3. SPOILER ENDS

So how many here got it free via the annual pass offer?

@Sephiroth: No, no, no! You are still somewhere frozen in Mako. It's not you killing Aeris but your mother dressed like you. Wow, that sounds so wrong...

Hardcore on a baby crawler? The fuck is wrong with people?

Ok Jo, no spoilers for a good month.

So I hear some of the mechanics suck in diablo. >.>

Don't turn around...

I DIE?! Why do I have to die?

There is a reason Diablo 2 had a solid player base for over a decade. Because it wasn't complicated by nature. It could be if you wanted it to be, but if you wanted to roll up a character and beat the crap out of things, more power to you.

So... what's the ending like? Better or worse than Mass Effect? Or should I just go to YouTube and find out for myself.

and my friends gave me crap for finishing mass effect 3 in a day and a half

Skyrim was mediocre at best, Diablo is a game that's gonna be played by thousands in the years to come. You can pretend, that you're playing an "argh-pee-gy", or you can admit, that RPG died with Van Buren and play the best hack n slash there is.

best level in the game

@Chessrook44 , @Tonberry - difference is, Diablo 3 is fun WITHOUT mods. It also doesn't pretend to be an RPG, it just delivers top-notch hack'n'slash right in your face. Skyrim, and every Shitesda game pretends to be an "RPG" while giving you shallow characters and boring quests.

The rush to the end of Diablo 3 normal is really fun, I must admit.

But after all the 1 week gamers move on, we'll get to -really- play our game. :D

@Chessmoron - you are a trolling troll. You can beat D3 in 2 days and if lucky can ask for a refund. Least that is what i did game was 4/10 at best.

Chessrook44 - You're a moron. Diablo 3's replayability is worth more than anything Skyrim ever will have to offer.

Diablo 3: Beaten in 4 days with nothing left but replayability.
Skyrim: Beaten in 2 weeks with nothing left but replayability, exploration of undiscovered locales, and messing around with the locals.

Which is worth YOUR money?

Wait, why is there a human hand and not a purple tentacle in the second frame? WHAT ARE YOU HIDING FROM US JO?!

Congrats, but diablo III its not hardcore, not even a bit, maybe at max difficulty... but with no possible customization and only skill needed to spam your attacks and magics with care of not being hit... u cant say is hardcore, is more...casual..

Diablo 3 wasn't that good.
I hope Dragon's Dogma doesn't let me down as this did.

NO! Not Aeris! I just aquired Great Gospel...

inb4 complaints of calling Diablo3 "hardcore"

Aerith dies....

@Lauro: Playan

WHY DID YOU DO THAT I WAS PLAY FINAL FANTASY SEV-
oh wait I already knew that. nevermind.

Human by night, tentacle by day?

So, if you want a difficult single player game with a good story and atmosphere.....

....you wouldn't be playing Diablo III, amIrite?

So, I hope Jo also did the pony land thing.

@Time Master:
There are parts of the World other than americas, perhaps Jo lives in New Zealand, or, dunno, Kamchatka

WHAT THE HELL YOU CASUAL SHIT you ain't hardcore enough to rush inferno?!!!

More Spoilers: It turns out the person Luke has to stop the shipment is his father and that the shipment of soylent green is made of people.

Also, Snape kills Dumbledore.

@Bob: Wow, can you be a bigger buzzkill?

WAT TUK U SEW LNG?

Bruce Willis is a ghost.

Game sucks.

Also, it took you longer than two hours?

no one came for the vampire joke ? come on !!

Friday the 18th at 4:38 PM? One of those has to be wrong, unless this comic is about tomorrow. (Even using Brazil time, it's at least 12 hours too early)

I wanted to buy Diablo, but to me, it was either paying for my favorite mmorpg or a game i don't know if my graphics card will do justice. Now that i have money again, i don't know if i should pay for a error 37 screen.

PS i posted as michael not being singed in

O_O i made it first for once anyways i cant run Diablo 3 on my PC because the graphics card that should have got here a long time ago is still not here -__- oh well i hope the wait is not to long :/
i may not be first when i post but no one else had posted this is a safe guard for when this comes 2

Seriously finished the game already? I'm still awaiting my copy

Congratulations Jo!
