D3 will be the day I quit WoW for good. But I don't see that happening anytime soon :(

I know BF needs to seriously consider speeding up their game creation times. For a company so large they should be able to pump out at least two games a year.

There games are designed to take some time to complete. If they put out 2 a year, people wouldn't finish the content, and not get quite as interested in playing. I would kinda like the 1 game every 1.5-2 years.

you can tell from watching the trailers and artwork alone that their games take time to produce and market. you know how long it takes to animate one scene in ultra-realistic hd reso. ?? me either, but i know it takes a loong ****ing time

Starcraft, Diablo - II, Warcraft III all every now and then, and a possibility that I may play World of Warcraft again.

I enjoy concept games. Back when I first played D2 and SC, they used to be some form of novelty with the storyline being the real reason that kept me coming, but when things like monotonous clicking doing Baal-runs for weeks/months at a time started to bore me, it's made me lose interest. Seriously, there isn't any real reason for me to get back to playing these games seriously anymore.

Nostalgia is a good enough reason, but they're just really fun games. You don't have to do endless Baal runs or Magic-Find runs, try experiencing the story more or playing for absolute completion. When I play I do every quest in every difficulty and get every waypoint, and I don't take rushes or anything that takes away from game-play.

Yeah...other than nostalgia probably. But the point of Blizzard games is to play with friends so sometimes you'd end up feeling compelled to play in order to follow the trend, hence the Baal-run mention. Of course, you can play by yourself too, but it can get down to boredom or annoyance when reaching certain stages of the game, especially near the end.

I wanna, but I don't have WoW, let alone have the desire to pay for it. My SC and D2 discs are still in the boxes from all that packing after 3 years of university that are shipped to my boyfriend's house and I still haven't opened anything yet. Boo. That's it, I'm going back to my PSP (after a 2 day break). *tries to own Fatalis --- fails miserably*
