I came late into the diablo craze, a month after the realease of Diablo 2, but none the less I still played and enjoyed the game and after i played D2 for awhile i went back and played the first one. Now i am not personaly in the beta but i have been over at my friends which he graciously allowed me to play. It seems like repolished Diablo 2 but that still didn't take away from my enjoyment of the game for the hour or so I played with it. I will be getting the game.... when it comes out maybe a few days later depending on my money situation but I will play Diablo 3 and I would just suggest you try it out because you opinion might be different.
