Basically any computer or laptop since 2006 can run this game.  

Not true. I called my mom to tell her how she could try the beta, and she found that when she booted the game, it told her that her laptops graphics card couldn't run it.

I was expecting it to work though :P  But yeah, blizzard games can run on toasters.

 

I thought the beta was decent.. But I don't know.. I think I was expecting it to have evolved more, and not just become eh.. More casual :P In the gameplay department. I guess I'm one of the ones who aren't much for the artstyle either. It CAN look pretty, but it looks too much like a warcraft 3 mod :P and very cartoony too.

But I'll still get the game and play it :P

What graphics card does her laptop have, an inboard one?.

I've been reading on the blizzard and diablo forums (and on this thread too), that the game is basically the same as it was 10 years ago and I couldn't be glader. Too many games from long running series try to "evolve" and "adapt" to the current trends only to fail miserably. If it's tried and true then don't mess with it, I say. Change can be good for a series that thrives on it or if the previous adaptation needed desperatly to keep up with the times, which was never the case of Diablo.
