Ah the joys of being an unemployed college student!
I even got up nice and early at 10am this morning to play a little - truth be told, with my brain addled from the click click click, I could scarcely sleep anyway..
For those who haven't played any in the series before:
It's an rpg set set in a fictional medieval world. There are hundreds and thousands of monsters to kill. They drop loot.
Your character gains levels by killing them and finishing quests.
So far, it's somewhat more linear than I remember D2 being but that could easily change as I've only done a part of one act.
When you gain levels, you gain attribute points that depend on your character (strength, agility, intelligence, vitality and so on) and affect your life, damage, defence etc.
More importantly, higher levels unlock new skills; about 20 or 30 in total. Each skill then has upgrades which change their power or sometimes in a more fundamental way that change how you use it.
The game play is frantic and you sprint from monster to monster, killing, pillaging and generally being a menace. The physics are a bit mental but it's certainly satisfying when you smack a zombie over the face with a club and send him flying.
It's very easy to wittle away hours on it.
It's not all just hack and slash and looting - the story is beautifully presented with cutscenes between important plot points.
You can play co-op mode with up to 4 other players. Later on, they'll be introducing player-vs-player combat arenas but they're not quite balanced for it yet so they decided to ship now with the bulk of the game working.
The minimum requirements are quite low - if your computer is less than 5/6 years you can almost certainly play it. After that, you need an internet connection.
I'd definitely recommend it.
Price-wise it's seems to be €55-€40 at the moment - eventually in the coming weeks the price will probably settle around the €40 mark once the hubbub dies down. With 5 characters that seem far more diverse than in the previous 2 games there's a colossal amount of replayability to be had so it's definitely value for money.0 -

Waiting for mine too. It's with a courier somewhere - can see it's been with the driver for delivery since 8am but still not here *chomps nails*0 -
