Just finished the beta.  It has a good feel and art style; retains the D2:LoD vibe and gameplay.  Lots of little easter eggs and hat tips (including a gratuitous reference to Legacy of Kain).  Overall, an excellent beta/demo.

Monk character is all I've played.  It works pretty well.  Very reminiscent of the fighting styles in Jade Empire.
What I speak out of my mouth is the truth.  It burns like fire.

I burned a lot of time on Diablo, less on Diablo 2 although it was a superior game.  Not sure I am really into it anymore or at least enough to get Diablo 3.

I never really liked the Diablo series.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I loved Diablo I and II, but the "always connected" policy I don't like a bit.

I loved D1+Hellfire, but not D2. I guess that's why I like Torchlight as a light diversion.
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

I wasn't a big fan either. I never played the first part and played Diablo 2 for a bit and while I was entertained I thought it was pretty much run of the mill fantasy game. I will try Diablo 3 since I get it for free with my yearly Blizzard pass anyway, but don't expect it will hold me for long.

The game hurt my wrist.

Indeed, Diablo is a vector for carpal tunnel syndrome.

Yeah, lots of repetitive clicking in that game.

Ok, I have to confess that as they roll out the videos for the various character classes I am getting a bit more interested in this.

I've been in the closed beta since early Feb but I could never bother to play. Now I did.

It's diablo & I like it, altho I think t 60$ it's too expensive.

Check out Path of Exile   Might still be in beta, but it's fun...and very diabloish...  and free  http://www.pathofexile.com/

I had a lot of fun with it.

The thing they get right that they other buys dont is itemization.  The addiction comes from trying to get just one more drop.

I think I will start with the monk.  That was a blast.  My least favourite class was the witchdoctor but even that was fun - just not as fun as the monk.
