Diablo II Collector's Edition
Omicron writes, "Blizzard will be releasing a special collector's edition of Diablo II. It looks pretty cool -- a 24-minute DVD movie, the full game, and it's signed by the development team. I'm looking for a place to buy it already!" Note that the collector's edition will be available only during the launch, and that the price is expected to be USD60-70.
I'm not trolling, I'm seriously looking for a reason to like Diablo and to be excited about its sequel's release.
The first Diablo was inane, an insult to the name "Role Playing Game." What role? You were one of three guys with either a big stick, a big sword, or a big bow (with infinite arrows for realism). You jump right down into hell and proceed to click the mouse button like a monkey on speed until everything's dead. Oooh, gee. Does this strike you as an even less intellectual game than QUAKE? At least in Quake you can shoot in more than four cardinal directions.
It's no more entertaining than that screen saver where you swat flies, people. And you get the same amount of exercise doing it. Do yourselves a favor and spend your $50 on something more worthwhile, like RAM or mayonnaise or something.
