Yah its truly unfortunate that hellgate london (made by bigtime devs of d3) messed that game up.. Hopefully diablo 3 will make the best of the 2d style + 3d physics engine to bring us a truly amazing game. we sure shall see.
I'm really looking forward to D3, i watched the video on the website and personally i was fairly impressed but hopefully they don't rush the game, if they take thier time with it then we could one hell of a game on our hands ^^
that'd be nice. I think they are gonna take their time with this one. Funny thing is more kids are looking to buy Diablo 2 stuff since they announced 3, and most wow youngin's havent even experienced diablo before.
