Grim Views

I just pre-ordered my copy of the expansion pack. The story was a bit predictable and some of the presentation (Dont get me started on how bad they fucked up the butcher) wasn't up to par but the gameplay was solid and the expansion seems to be ditching the things that didn't work (Auction House, random item properties) and expanding on the things that did (crafting, paragon). Not to mention there's a new character class and some new content.

One of the more exciting features is the adventure mode in which the game is completely unlocked and you aren't force fed the story for the 100th time. I am a bit bummed to see the GOLD based auction house go away but after checking it out this weekend I can see that it has only gotten worse. A radiant star is going for 25mil. LOL!

The whole point of saying this is that I hope to get together with some of you guys for some demon slaying. I'm revisiting the base game to get my hardcore characters leveled up and ready for ACT V.

I'm waiting until it has been released and is in the hands of gamers and reviewers that have proven they don't just suck any game studio dick that comes their way.

I may see you in a couple of months!

Alakhai and I will have it.

Chances are Sunder and I will have it too.

Alakhai's been twitching and resisting pre-ordering her collector's edition. WHY ARE COLLECTOR'S EDITIONS SUCH CRACK TO ME?!?!!!!!!

I will definitely be getting it. Finally they make the game a little more casual-firendly and the grind not so mind numbing.

I got it too, though I can't promise I'll be playing it as much beyond the initial "OMG MUST PLAY", lest I slack on my WoW stuff!

Meh. I'm with Abric and waiting to see how good the xpac really is before buying it.
