Difference between WoW and Diablo?

[Powermoloch]

Probably, but I still rebel at the on-line all the time DRM reqiurement. Steam and even Origin have off line play if you want to utilize it. I dont know why there was such rage directed at Ubisoft over this and everybody seems to give Blizzard a pass. I was looking forward to this game immensely, but the online all the time DRM and auction house crap are making me seriously reconsider buying it.

the difference between blizz and ubi is the service provided

I just saved ol D Cain (jesus is he still alive?). First impressions, bit too easy but hey it is beginning so we will see. I wish i could assign hotkeys like d2. I'm not sure about being unable to assign stats, but there are plenty of games, like wow, that does the same and its fine. Not sure how i feel about it on d3 yet though. I'm thinking a lot is going to be changed before release and with first few patches.

Rolled a demon hunter (i think that's the name), back to the game.

...makes me want to go play ashe on LoL.

You can pick your race in Dungeon Defenders and it's hack n slash also. Therefore that game is also the same as WoW and Diablo. It's also a grind lol. Isn't there a monk in Diablo too?

Wow got boring after few months. I played D2 for everrr.
Finishing second D3 pass, first was Demon Hunter, now using Monk. Monk is MUCH funner. Would elaborate more but i'm on tablet.

Tablet or toilet? Or both?

Normally, you would probably be right - but I was waiting for class to start (not in bathroom).

Posting in a troll thread.

The only real way they're similar is that they've both been dumbed down considerably from their original concepts. Diablo 3 was designed to be played on consoles and tablets, so it is, by necessity, much simpler and baser than a typical PC RPG (see Path of Exile or, to a lesser extent, Kingdoms of Amalur.)

World of Warcraft has been bleeding subscribers and thus they're looking to pull in as many new markets (types of players) as possible.

Unfortunately for us PC gamers, we're left with games which lack polish (Path of Exile and KoA) or games that are designed to be played by 5 year olds (WoW and Diablo 3.) The third category would be games like Skyrim, which have potential but lack direction (which a lot of people like, and Skyrim was pretty fun for a while.) Or, games which shoehorn you in to a prescribed path (Dragon Age 2.) Really, the last go RPG for the PC was Dragon Age Origins. I was really hoping for Diablo 3 to be that, but it just isn't. Sure, it's story driven, but it's effectively a few cutscenes with a whole shitload of mindless clicking in between.

Mass Effect wasn't bad, but I don't consider it to really be an RPG. ME1 had some definite RPG elements to it, but ME2 was a cover-based shooter at its core. That's probably why I prefered ME1 overall to ME2. Haven't played ME3 yet...will wait until it's cheaper, but I've heard that it's a bit more RPGish than ME2, but not as much as ME1.

I'm not saying that PC RPGs should go all JRPG on us (like FF7, or whatever) but I wouldn't mind a bit more depth to my games...some focus on story and gameplay would be way awesome. It seems to me as though developers are trying to find ways to make their games more appealing to the general public (i.e. 10 year old boys) and in doing so, they're alienating their core audiance. That, unfortunately, is not limited to just PC games, though.

The Witcher 2 was a better story driven RPG than Dragon Age Origins, but DA:O was a very good RPG in its own right. I dont think I have ever played an RPG as good as the Witcher 2 to be honest.
