[citation][nom]USHypertraxx[/nom]7 hours... Agreed man, 7 hours... Man i ive played Minecraft over 100hours i geus. Just like GTA SA, good games don't need to be fancy[/citation]
yes they do...why have a gaming machine if you play ugly looking games?...i love eye candy
 
A VAST majority of players are not going to finish the game in that time. I doubt anyone here will do it
 
Korean and Chinese gamers don't count, they don't have lives! Where do you think farmers come from?
 
I am 3 hours in and only lvl 9. These 7 hour "winners" are a VERY small minority of the player base.

Plus, they only beat it on Normal.

Now, if it was 7 hours beaten all the way into Inferno mode, that's a different story. :)
 
plus there was a group of them playing together, which would make things faster in terms of exploring the maps, etc.

I'm really enjoying it so far!
 
it only has low- mid range graphics capabilitys

blizzard im expecting a HD graphics patch or something....
 
Head on over to speeddemosarchive. There's a 58min speed run of diablo 2 LOD. Sure it's after years of practice but that's Diablo 2 + Exp.
 
Okay this game has a lot of side quests, replayability, random extra events you won't see in the first run and a ton of extra dialogue if you talk to the villagers and stuff on the side... You can beat it fast and go through it again and still see more things that didn't show up on the random generator the first time... Also... in nightmare.. "you will die" already =P
 
That's about right. Our total played time for Normal was about 9-10 hours total, including exploring the entire map. Quite disappointing actually, I do wish Blizzard had been a little more creative than just expecting players to repeat content for superior loot.

With that said, Nightmare is quite a step up from Normal and actually gives players a challenge to think before they leroy an entire room of mobs. Honestly though, for my friends and I, we'll probably be stopping at the end of Nightmare. There's really no entertainment from beating the game 3 times in a row, even if you get shinier gear to equip. It becomes extremely repetitive after that point, as seen with D2. Had Blizzard made the game into a true "progressive" difficulty, in essence, where there lies a compaign for each set difficulty, I do believe the game would have been that much more enjoyable.

All in all, would I recommend spending $60.00 on this game? If you're a D2 fan, no, you will be disappointed as D3 is a mediocre, semi-revamped D2 with half the content and the loot is so numb down that six year old's can theorycraft the equipment.

However, if you're new to the Diablo franchise, I'd consider it; I mean, you'll be entertained but once again, the game does become extremely limited, extremely fast (in retrospect to a "campaign" game).

Back to League of Legends in the meantime.

You speak as if you have authority on the matter, or possess some kind of say.

The fact of the matter is, you don't.

You were wrong in what you said, according to the general consensus of those who have played the game, and I am not sure I would care what a LoL player thinks, anyway.

No offense. 😉
 
you would if you just rushed through it withotu even caring about anything,, but looting and getting to the end. they probabyl barel went back to town to sll lot, probably read none of the story or cared. Probably forgot most of it , by the time they finished the game. then they probably repeated on a higher difficulty. This is why i play these games adn co-op game in single player only first THEN co-op if i care about the game still after i finish it a few times. I played Left 4 dead single player also first time through, i found it on expert pretty damn hard and just as rewarding, than rushing through it a million miles an hour in Multipoayer like people online do. I played borderlands first time in multipoayer and i missed so much, i then played it in single plaer and it awws nice to jus relax and play it at pace.
 
So many hater/racist in this forum.

I wondering if they are white or European. You guys probably wont have such negative comments.
 
Well, it can be finished in 6-7 hours given that they did it as a party/group. With a proper Tank, Healer and DPS the game would be easy. Plus they probably skipped all the talking and stuff. They probably played the game again individually, they just wanted to earn the recognition of being the first people to finish the game. Don't hate, appreciate. hahaha.
 
I wanted to take my time and actually ENJOY the game after waiting so long and spending $60 for it. That meant listening to the conversations, exploring all the map, and doing all the side quests I ran into. It took me 10 hours to finish Act I.
 
I think you're forgetting that the Diablo series has always been this way. It's always been possible to bypass the item farming portion and just straight through the quests. Entire dungeons can be skipped, rare and elite mobs can be outran.

It's highly reasonable for a group to bumrush diablo normal in 7 hours, maybe even less.
 
I took me over 24 hours played to beat normal" level playing it proper, story line and caring about getting gold and exp as well as exploring everything. Now I'm running nightmare mode and its even beer / more challenging. This is not a 7 hour game.
 
The game is incredibly short we beat it in 5 hours. Two friends I were with level 1-60 in 3 days
