That makes it a bargain at $120 for the full game.

You can buy the starcraft2 single player campaign for 12.99 I think which leads me to believe the protoss and zerg versions will be 12.99 each for just the campaigns which is, somewhat reasonable.

More to the point, if it is true, will they release a multiplayer only option for the expansion that gives me the new units, but no single player campaign.

Technically, only a third of Starcraft 2 came out.


 why so serious?


Eh, 1/3 of the single player content. Probably more like 80% of the multiplayer, if prior Blizzard RTS expansions are a useful guide.

Fair enough, but I'm only interested in the single player content.  Multi is just full of mouthbreathers I would rather not deal with.

I play almost no multiplayer myself, but I was satisfied with the amount of single player content - 29 missions. The original Starcraft had 3 campaigns, yes, but they only totaled to 30 missions and there were a lot fewer bells and whistles in between. I think the 'there wasn't enough value' argument is pretty hard to make for SC2.

Was the box in Spanish and English both? I think they sell a time-limited version (6 months I think) with a sub fee for extra time as an alternative to the big box in Latin America, maybe Wal-Mart somehow got some of those?

I want to know whose masturbation fantasy the demon hunter is.  So I can stab them with a a pair of five inch heels shot from my flaming dual crossbows out of the shadows.  While I act like a gothy ice queen.

I like the concept art picture, though.  If I ignore everything else I know about it.

(Seriously, how do you make me mock gothy ice queens?)

Hahahaha!  I'm really good at this!

To be fair the lead developer just said that they weren't balancing the game for them, and that they weren't intended to be esports, just a fun side game.

Great writeup at Diablofans.com regarding the skill customization for Diablo 3.

I guess Character Customization, from a non-sword&board stand point, has been split up into 4 categories: Skills, Traits, Talisman and Runes.

Skills: You get to chose from 7 skills to slot, and can level those up 5 times or so.  These are your actives.

Traits: Tons of passive skills to chose from, not sure what the limit on these are.

Talisman: The charm system from diablo 2, but with its own inventory slots.

Runes: These have actually gotten super exciting.  They combined the dropped skill system of diablo 1 and the leveled skill system of diablo 2.  So you get to search for that new skill effect for a skill you currently have.  Probably the most exciting part of this whole thing.

They've been pretty consistent since day one of WoW's PvP being more than a side venture.

Arenas still suck, though.

I find the Demon Hunter trailer suitably badass. I am pleased.

While I realize that anything is possible, I'm going to guess D3 is Blizzard's 2011 release.  They said SC2pt2 is a post 2011 release, the new MMO is a long ways off, WoWxpac is launching in 2010... that leaves nothing in 2011 except D3!  I'm guessing.

Which will go right out the window the instant it's determined that Arenas have crossed a certain threshold of popularity, and the nerfbat will come out a-swinging for Arena play.

I thought the stilettos on the Demon Hunter were a bit much.

Err, how the fuck would someone use a crossbow in each hand? Is an invisible wizard cocking each one for you after each shot?

Seriously, why two? This is not 1999.

Are you seriously asking for that level of realism in a Diablo game? Who let the fucking fun police into this thread?
