Members cowby Posted May 18, 2012 Members Share Posted May 18, 2012 Haha, I am not a gamer but this game really rocks the whole world. Someone on the ebay is selling 5 times of the org. price (Collector version ?!). My friends play it nights and days in battle.net and don't know if anyone of you do the same? The wait is over. Will Diabo III affect your music / production life? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Casio Man Posted May 18, 2012 Members Share Posted May 18, 2012 The biggest effect(on music life), that the Diablo ever had, Matt Uelmen, isn't in Diablo 3, so it will probably have lesser impact on anybodys music life. Couple of months of grinding might be taken from tweaking the synths of course, but nothing lasting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gribs Posted May 18, 2012 Members Share Posted May 18, 2012 It won't have an effect now as I am not going to buy it for $50 or whatever. Secret War, OTOH, appears to have the potential to divert my attention for a while. Most of the members of my small but long-lived guild have preordered it already, and at least one has stopped playing the closed beta to avoid spoiling her fun when the game goes live. Some are playing Diablo III now, but it is considered to be a short diversion to hack-n-slash, and at least one who did the beta decided not to buy because it is too much like Diablo II.

Members gregwar Posted May 18, 2012 Members Share Posted May 18, 2012 daws are my video games lol the interwebs already waste too much of my time I could prolly run it on my lappi but have had no desire to play vids since doom 3 didn't succumb to skyrim so I think I'm safe . . . if anything I'd rather buy a xbox or play station and a tv and not have the icon beside logic lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Re-Member Posted May 18, 2012 Members Share Posted May 18, 2012 I remember getting sucked into Phantasy Star Online for the Dreamcast over ten years ago to a rather unproductive level of addiction. This was before music really become an important hobby to me, so in many ways, synths saved me. To this day, I still refuse to touch online gaming. I have a Wii, but limit my gaming to four hours a week. Last game I bought was "Zelda: Skyward Sword" and I still haven't completed it. I've had it for six months now, haha.

Members liliththekitten Posted May 18, 2012 Members Share Posted May 18, 2012 Not really interested in it. I don't like Blizzard games much anymore. At least it stopped people talking about Skyrim and making lame jokes. Would rather play Disgaea, insanely deep but can also be played in short bursts. Playing the first Fallout actually, looks like a Sega CD game (if even) but its wonderful. And the odd shooter. games don't really affect my music making - I don't make much music or I do it really slowly anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ElectricPuppy Posted May 18, 2012 Members Share Posted May 18, 2012 I cancelled my WoW account last year, haven't been back since. I don't plan to get Diablo, but I have some coworkers and friends that got it and say they're having a great time. I'm just done with online games for a while. What I'm really looking forward to? SIM CITY!! I might even have to go dig out my Sim City 4 CD and play it again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved Sim City 2k, I'm tempted to buy it even though I have the original discs and all my cities backed up somewhere. Good times! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Re-Member Posted May 18, 2012 Members Share Posted May 18, 2012 Sim City 2000! That was another addicting one. I had it for the Playstation and left the system on for a few weeks straight so the city profits would keep coming in when I was either at school or asleep. I remember my father going nuts when he saw how high our electric bill increased that month, so I had to play it stupid and act like it was our dryer or something, haha.

Members Gribs Posted May 18, 2012 Members Share Posted May 18, 2012 I have Fallout sitting on my computer... got it when GOG was giving it away for free. I bought, played, finished, and sold the boxed version ages ago. I enjoyed and its sequel (and Fallout Tactics) very much. I won't buy the newer Fallout games because they are FPS-style games which means vomitorious motion sickness for me. There seems to be this weird-ass push to make so many games look/play like FPS games. I suppose that is one thing good that Diablo III has going for it. I just finished playing Avernum Escape from the Pit the night before last. The graphics are a little dated, but the story and game play are excellent very deep and the game is quite long and involved. The writing is fantastic. To really get the most out of the game, you have to read everything and speak to every NPC multiple times. The Spiderweb games are great and very inexpensive. I purchased the Avernum bundle (games IV, V, and VI) from Steam for under $10. If those last as long as Escape from the Pit, then I have a good 250+ hours of gaming. After the last Avernum game though, I decided to take a break from that sort of intense story-oriented game. I am not paying full price for Diablo III, but I still have un-played classes and difficulty levels in Torchlight and Titan Quest. Really, I am embarrassed to admit the number or RPGs that I have in my Steam account or for Xbox 360 that are unfinished. A game has grab me for a long time these days for me to finish it. I finished Avernum Escape from the Pit, Torchlight (with the ranged female character), and Titan Quest (a few times with different toons) but precious few other PC games (lately).

Gus Lozada Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 I don't even know what SKYRIM is. Really.

There seems to be this weird-ass push to make so many games look/play like FPS games. I suppose that is one thing good that Diablo III has going for it. That is true! I think its because thats all the big American publishers know how to do anymore. though Japan is even worse/less creative these days outside of portables and/or people like Atlus and Nippon Ichi. I do like FPS's but the older-school kind like the first Quake, stuff thats quick and fun and you shoot lots of doods and you die and respawn a lot. Also Outtrigger on Dreamcast or Team Fortress 2 of Course. No Modern Battlefield Combat of Duty. Interstingly, the Portal games are an FPS, it's first-person and you shoot but obviously it's a totally different kind of game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Casio Man Posted May 18, 2012 Members Share Posted May 18, 2012 Nah, eff those friggin mini games, Baldurs Gate is more like a game worth of having $700 device. Finally.

Members MuzikB Posted May 19, 2012 Members Share Posted May 19, 2012 Never was much of a Diablo fan and the nut cases I used to work with playing WoW killed that bug before it started. SkyrimMass Effect 3 Civilization IV with all the expansionsStar Wars: Empire at War These get the time when I need to get my head away from college. Also when those college audio and video projects just push me away from wanting to do anything musical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
