Diablo III A revolution or something else?

Since I got a request about it today I am writing about the highly anticipated Diablo III.The game for those who live under a rock or who simply don't care about computer gaming will be the third installment of the popular Blizzard's franchise.The two previous installments were met with unbelievable success because of the straightforward and enjoyable gameplay,the intriguing story and the replay value of them because of the difficulties.So anyone can see why the third game is so highly anticipated.

The opening cinematic is even more impressive and you can see it here


The game will remain a hack and slash as it always was.You are going to pick a class from the following: barbarian,monk,demon hunter,wizard and witch doctor.Each class has unique characteristics.For example barbarian is a ruthless warrior capable of handling close combat while witch doctor is a more fragile class and relies to cunning spells and summons to survive.Anyway you pick one of them and you start following the game script killing hordes(literally) of monsters(literally) in the way.

The very cool thing about the game is that everything is  extremely randomized.You may go to a corridor,clear it and when you visit it again  it is certain that it will be something different there.That combined with the four difficulties the games offers is going to offer a lot of replay value.The other thing is character customization which comes from the gear to get,the skills you choose and a new feature called runes.Depending on the gear you get and the skills you choose your character will be able to do a lot of different things of your choice.You can customize it even further by enhancing your skills with runes which give them additional effects.


More tomorrow including the RMAH issue..
