I NEVER thought this would happen as I'm an old school gamer who hasn't upgraded his PC in ages (they have my spec report)

This just showed up in my gmail..... Let's see how pathetic this game runs on my lame ass 8500GT with old school dual-coal xeon processor. Downloading client now (1.6 gig)

You worry you can't run this with an 8500GT? It could probably run on integrated crap.

I am soo not impressed at all at the graphics of this "new" game. It could easily have been developed 5 years ago.

But that's Blizzard for yah.

Click to expand...

Yeah, damn them making relatively accessible games!
 
So you're excited about getting into a beta for a game which is almost exactly the same as a game a decade old except with better graphics, but even those graphics are 5-10 years old.

Maybe I'm missing something here.
Game + small tweaks + new but still old graphics +a ton of years wasting time to provide illusion of being different= exciting new thing...

Yeah something must be missing.
 
That is pretty awesome. I remember when I got selected to be a reviewer for Halo PC. I got a "gold edition" copy sent from MS. I got it before the game even came out (maybe like a week before? I forget). Sadly I was in school with not much spare time on my hands then so by the time I was done the review the game had already come out.
