60 bucks - get this or Diablo 3?

[chillgreg]

Which should I get?

[Rowdy Ronny]

I have both. Diablo 3 is complete and fun and tons of phat lewt. This game is slower, has horrible loot and appears in early Alpha.

If Blizzard is still having their deal you can get Diablo 3 + Reaper of Souls for $60. That'll last you longer than the Wasteland 2 beta, which will be cheaper than $60 at release.

Thanks

Why isn't Diablo on Steam?

Blizzard owns it and has it's "Battle.Net" system of software delivery (for wow, diablo I,II,III, StarCraft, WarCraft,... )

[chillgreg]

Ah, so that's like another Origin thingy.

[Rowdy Ronny]

yup

[chillgreg]

Kewl.Thanks heaps! :)

I have not played this, but I would highly recommend Diablo 3. I've played for more than 700 hours and I'm still having fun with it!

I just installed the Starter edition to try it out. Would you believe that since the Loot 2.0 patch, Diablo 3 cannot use the Nvidia GPU in laptops? I'm having to run kt in 1366x768 all low settings and even then get 35-30fps. My first ever experience with Blizzard. Not real impressed lol

I wanted to clarify on this. Blizzard doesn't have much of anything like Origin. There is no client that you have always keep open. There is no tracker system or etc. The DRM is simply login to the multiplayer games and play. Blizzard stopped making single player games. So they just built DRM directly into the game in the form of multiplayer logins. It's rather lightweight and completely there to serve you.

I have an Nvidia GPU on my laptop (675m) and have 0 problems with d3, if you'd like help on how to fix it just let me know I do this kind of stuff for a living.

And sucks the money out of you.... Only online games do that. Look how great Diablo 3 turned out. The Reaper of Souls is good though.

Thank you for the kind offer! This thread (and many others) seem to indicate that at present this is endemic and unfixable:

I have the new MSI GE60 Apache Pro laptop. It has the 860M Maxwell chip, and running off a Samsung EVO840 SSD. Nvidia 337.50.

D3 runs 100% off the integrated Intel HD4600 graphics. Not good.

I'd buy the $35 "pre-order" of Wasteland 2 from the late-backer store[wasteland.inxile-entertainment.com]

Then download Path of Exile. It's free to play.
