[quote]It's meant to be over the top and inflammatory to promote people reading it[/quote] Well, it's official: I'm not pre-ordering D2, because of your post. I was on the fence (leaning to not purchasing) then read your rant. It makes sense to me. So much so, that the hate and contempt was more than the love affair with the current game. I'm perfectly happy to listen and read quality reviews before mindlessly throwing my ("my," being the key word) money away. I've got more cons than pros, no matter how I look at it. Of course, the only two cons for me are forums like this and losing my entire weapon vault in the new game.
