Yeah, the games awesome. LvL 14 wizard is a blast. Starting to get some pretty sweet encounters.

[xX M i A s M a]

I still can't decide on which to play I've got a level 10 Demon Hunter, a level 7 Wizard and a level 3 Witchdoctor.

...But the Monk and Barb also look cool I'm so fucked.

[isolation_years]

yea every time i start it i sit and stare at the charecters for like 20 minutes before i can decide . demon hunter looks awesome

[PhlegethonVeins]

Ending of Act one has my penis so hard. I need to go make sweet love to a vagina....because I haven't been this erect in awhile.

And I ask, did ANYONE even remember that Max Payne 3 came out the same day as Diablo 3? I didn't. Rockstar picked a bad release date there, I garauntee it's going to hurt sales when everyone is so focused on Diablo 3. I saw D3 ads fuckin' everywhere and not one Max Payne one, they would have been better delaying it to June

haha, me, nicolas and dianella actually was in the queue for the midnight release but it was so fucking long so we got the fakk outta there now it's pretty much sold out everywhere and since i'm an 80's/90's kinda guy (and a blizzard fan) i want a physical copy of the game

also, i've seen that several people have had a hard time actually getting online to play the game etc, so i'm in no big hurry, i don't want any problems or distractions when i'm playing the game for the first time

i still hook up the n64 from time to time. i find the time it takes for something to be a classic is 2 generations. you wait, in 5 years, people will be talking about their favorite ps2 games
.

Haha, well, to each their own. Jak and Daxter 1-3 were good, but nothing special. Which reminds me, Ratchet & Clank 1-3 were brilliant! I wonder if the PS3 games are as good. Cool that you still play on your N64, hehe. I had fun with a couple of N64 titles on Wii's Virtual Console, until I acquired an HDTV, then the games looked blurry all of a sudden.

Haha, wow. Did you have that additional memory for the N64? Because I think the reason why I never bought Tooie was because I heard you had to buy the memory thingy in addition to be able to play it. I don't know if that was the case, though.

I don't remember if it required it or not, but I had it from the N64 package I bought (I had the see-through green Donkey Kong Country N64 package).

But it is an awesome game. I played the shit out of it. Really cool level design and some interesting secrets.

haha ive seen a couple tv ads, but nothing like diablo. i knew it came out yesterday but i completely forgot. and i cant convince myself to buy it now because i still have to beatr diablo 3 a few dozen times, then skyrim with mods, then alan wake, then dark souls

plus BF3 and it has DLC coming in early june, and god knows im the first in line to suck EAs duck (not changing that ). the only thing that could kill that game for me is if they started charging monthly fees.

i was gonna get a boxed copy, but decided to go digital when i found out i didnt need any 3d party shit like steam or origin (seriously, steam is enough). plus it let me install it pre launch. it was sold out digitally too (somehow :P)

i never played rachet and clank, i thought they looked bad, and then i hear theyre amazing haha, egg on my face. but yeah i hear the ps3 ones are great.
im a snes man at heart but n64 blew my mind when it came out. goldeneye, OoT, majoras mask, OGRE BATTLE 64 (best game ever, it is so good, if they made a sequal that required a new system, and this new system only had ogre battle, i would still buy it)

[isolation_years]

lol just realised its my birthday in a couple weeks, maybe thats when ill get max payne 3 (it does look really excellent).

haha fuck you know youre starting to get old when your birthday becomes meaningless

side goal is to be max level in battlefield by the end of july . im colonel 62 (rank 107) right now, and max is 100 (145). theres a double XP event next weekend, and new DLC in june

Ah, I see. Well, it's the only explanation I have for not buying a game I really, really wanted, lol. And yes, they really upped the ante with the level design, it's even better than in the first game. I like how they connected the levels too, with secret passageways and whatnot.

@ isolation_years: Haha, too bad you never played them. They are extremely entertaining as opposed to magical like Super Mario 64/Banjo/Oot, but when was "extremely entertaining" anything other than a good thing? :S The N64 was indeed a great console, and it was my first Nintendo console, strangely. Ocarina of Time remains my favourite game ever, I think, and I also had a lot of fun with Turok, GoldenEye, Diddy Kong Racing and more. Good times.

[isolation_years]

oh yeah, and perfect dark was amazing too. my first system was the nes. zelda a link to the past was probably my favorite zelda, and then OoT came out and blew my mind, still hard to choose between the two


haha extremely entertaining sold me


diablo 3 quick tip. go to options, gameplay turn on elective mode. then you can customise your active and passive skills. (ie buttons 1 2 3 4).
YOURE WELCOME

Yeah i was a pretty big fan of the N64 as well even though playstation had market dominance. Some of the best 3D platformers ever were released on it. N64 had a feel of its own with its games. Turok was actually my first console shooter and to this day i love it. It was almost open world in its level design, I love the idea of a shooter with so much emphasis on exploring the world as well as (at the time) great shooting mechancis. Turok 2 took that to a whole new level. I recently downloaded and plates througg both on Pc and it was even better..

Yeah, that was what I loved about Turok as well, the emphasis on exploration. Wasn't there these yellow triangles you had to collect as well? Though I gotta say that the platform jumping at THAT place was a bit too much, it must've made more people than me almost break down in tears.

Yeah, A Link to the Past is brilliant as well. It was my first foray into the world of Zelda, and it's easily my favourite SNES game. It spurred me to buy The Story of Thor on Megadrive when I was in England in 1995, another classic! It's called Beyond Oasis in the US, I think.

By the way, although I'm not done with Banjo-Tooie yet, I began playing Bastion last night. Wonderful graphics, and the gameplay is a lot of fun so far.

You guys are giving me the best nostalgia trip right now. I might have to break out the old snes for a delightful 2d romp.

hey dianella, have you found out what your battle net id is?

mine's DarkGift#2235

[DarkGift]

i'm a lvl 15 wizard nao btw \o/

[xX M i A s M a]

Level 14 Witchdoctor/Level 12 Demon Hunter. I need battletags yo. I know they were all posted, but I'd have to turn the page like twice

[PhlegethonVeins]

Act 2 is sew much fun compared to act 1.

Wizard is lvl 24 atm. Right now its like a tanky caster...and I feel insanely OP. I have orbs that circle me exploding with high aoe dmg when mobs colide with them, a knock back melee like conjuration spell, ice armor that freezes attackers in place, diamond skin with a short 15 sec cooldown that makes my armor insane for x amount of dmg, during said time spells cost less to cast, yaddaa yaddaa yadaaaaa. XD.

ive been working 10 hour days, but i deleted a level 5 demon hunter (wasnt in the mood for hardcore), so now i have a level 11 wizard, a level 16 witch doctor, and a level 5 demon hunter (for solo play).

my witch doctor was with a friend, but i havent been able to play with him since launch so im considering making him my main. hes almost done act I, (wizard is like 3/4 of the way done). its a shame i wish i had just grinded him through the story , id be much farther.
but oh well my demon hunter will be played solo so i can advance him quickly (as i wont need to wait for anyone )
