So I guess that means Heart of the Swarm in 2014?


Knowing Blizzard, that is the most probable thing really.   Because they will add those things that they cut, in order to have a 2012 release for Diablo III.  And dont forget about the Protoss related game, which will be released most probably by 3021.    I really dont get why they take so much time making their games.

Yeah, game of the year... simply no contender.

Not even any of 3DS behemoths can touch this game in quality.

So no one cares that they are not including PVP from the start? Sounds a little gimped to me. Nice that they will add it later but it would be even nicer to pvp at a low level and not have everyone maxed out by the time they release it in a patch.

They don't release a game until they're completely satisfied with it. It's been that way for years now.



Signature goes here!

There was I time I really cared for Blizzard games, but not anymore. They take SO MUCH TIME in making their games, that I dont care about them anymore. I will have my dungeon crawler/RPG fix with Darksiders II.

That is how the Diablo Franchise should evolve, and not being a point and click RPG.

Heck no, why would you want less variety? There are enough adventure/hack-and-slash games around, but not point-and-click epics like Diablo.


The point and click gameplay, takes away the epicness of the combat because you are watching too far away (the story is obviously Epic).  You dont have the enemy literally in YOUR FACE, and that takes away a lot of the experience.  Can you imagine a fight against diablo with some "God of War / Bayonetta / DMC fights" , THAT IS EPIC.. Throwing your spells, fighting hordes of demons, acquiring loot, leveling up.IT WOULD BE THE GAME BEST EVER. obviously without the QTE.  The sad thing is that in order to make that happen the game would release in 10 years from now.

I honestly couldn't care less about pvp at this time. It will be a nice addition though when it comes.


Let me guess if you ever did play WoW you played on a PVE server.

They take a long time because they like to perfect the gameplay.

There are lots of games that are ABSOLUTELY AMAZING and only took 2-3 years to be done.   "Perfect the gameplay" is no excuse.    See the Witcher 2 for example.

And, SCII gameplay was almost the same as SC 1 gameplay, so really I dont see the gameplay being perfect.

The witcher 2 could have used a few months more in the oven, even though it was a great game. Blizzard makes games that sell for years and even decades because they focus so much on quality and balance.


So they are like Nintendo but slower.

Well I just posted the news. Personally I could be a bit more excited. May seems a bit too early to me.
