ya it would probably run when you are just in town, but when you have a lot of shit on screen the performance would tank super quickly

Could I buy an external memory card? Would a laptop support that?

i haven't gotten that sick feeling from when you sit and play a video game for too long in a while, but i've gotten it with D3. Beat Diablo a few days ago, haven't had much time to play since, but i'll probably work my way through act 1 again tonight.

witch doctor ftw. trying to run through where every spell (except 1, don't remember what it's called but it's pretty fucking key) summons some kind of animal. it's hilarious, shit's just flying everywhere.

maybe no one has the answer(google usually has more answers than ns), but i doubt it. its a $60 15gb game that im guessing some nerds at blizzard made pretty hard to not pay for

this. the newer the game, the harder it is to successfully torrent IME

i mean, it may be possible, but it will probably take a long ass time to figure it out and would ne incredibly frustrating. and if it doesnt end up working, you have 15 GBs of useless shit on your harddrive to deal with and a lot of time down the drain.

even if you could get it working you'd be playing singleplayer...can't torrent a battle.net account

then its impossible, you cant play "single player" off of the servers in d3 so you need to battle.net account to just solo

there might be an account assosciated with the torrent that works for multiple users? I have torrented shit before that works that way, but idk how battle.net works really. theres gotta be a way to make it work though or else nobody would make the torrent

from reading the comments it looks like the torrents were beta copies.

yes someday there might be D3 cracks/private servers. but i'm not sure why one wouldd want to skirt around paying for this game....it's so worth the money to play worry-free with buddies.

You have to have an active internet connection and a battle.net account to play it, it's as simple as that. There is no way to "get round it".

If anyone tells you otherwise they are lying.

On a lighter note, a rather witty review.

because normal is boring as fucking hell. the AH house sucks ass because it's flooded as shit.

in normal all you do is click a whole shit ton and tank&spank ALL bosses. there's no risk, no thought. it's not a game if you have nothing to lose.

Bought the game out of curiosity. Played till level 12 with a friend and haven't touched it for 2 weeks.

In my book, Diablo is a dumbed down (they can call it action RPG all they want) version of any MMORPG out there, built with Blizzard graphics and physics. I already had trouble understanding how WoW players spent days and days on building their character but this Diablo game take's the cake by far. Clicking as fast as possible on a monster gets boring very quick, really I don't get how you guys can get any fun out of this.

It's a longer fight than most. Just keep moving and be patient, attack when the risk of getting hit is low.
