I would like Blizzard to shoot themselves in the foot and release Starcraft 2 and Diablo 3 on the same day.

Titan Quest is great for occupying your fingers while listening to podcasts.

...but so is minesweeper.

I'm sick of minesweeper though.

Personally I didn't mind the lack of random generation too much. The main problem with the game, in my book, is that the world is too much boring, run-of-the-mill wilderness and not enough cool architecture. There are genuinely great battlefields in there but that's only like 5% of the experience. 80% of the time it's all "here's some woods, dude, I hope you like grass and trees", and the remaining 15% is crappy dungeons that look like they could have been randomly generated (Minoan Labyrinth I am looking at you sternly).

Yeah, if you're going to premake all your dungeons, make them fucking decent.

god damn I want to play a Barbarian so bad.

THUD, WHACK, SMASH, CRUNCH.  I always though D2's melee combat was kind of boring compared to throwing down a hail of frozen orb or multishot, and this looks like it's been turned on its head.

I felt the same way about Starcraft 2.  Let me know once you figure this out.

I'm actually a little worried about Diablo 3; I can't help but think it'll adversely impact the success of Mythos.

Doubtful.  Blizzard just not announced Diablo 3, so it's probably still only 5 years away.

Good point. It'll probably adversely affect Hellgate: Paris.

I think Hellgate: London will more adversely affect it.

I'm not going to dump on Flagship, but it seems everyone thought they were "Everyone who made Diablo" instead of "Like, 8 guys who worked on Diablo".

Mythos looks interesting, but at the same time its aesthetic seems completely at odds with D3, to the point where they might be for different audiences entirely.  At this point Mythos is almost geared towards the asiatic Maple Story crowd.

Apparently Diablo 3 is going to suck because IT IS TOO BRIGHT AND COLORFUL.

It did look a little cartoony to me, but I'm pretty sure it was the animation, not the fact that Diablo needs to be any fucking darker.

I'm just happy they're keeping the isometric perspective and it won't look like another WoW clone.
