Best Diablo 3 Announcement reaction gifs ever...
Malenko:
My point is you keep glossing over the fact drawsomething cant be played offline by yourself and is a bad example. You can be as blasphemous as you want, it's still valid.
Malenko:
Im gonna stop, its mostly just me pushing your buttons for fun.
Im gonna buy diablo 3 because I loved the first 2 so much, when not being able to play because I cant phone home happens its gonna suck, but its just a game. I dont buy a lot of PC games (I dont steal them like fallacy either) so if the model switches to internet DRM it wont have huge impact on me either way, but it will be one less reason for me to want to buy games.
take care, and happy gaming.

I think there may be a misnomer here, Diablo 3 is for all intensive purposes now a F2P MMO. It's online, it has a central queuing system and a buyable items system, it can't be played offline, and when you create a game logically it's really just another instanced zone.
So all other parallels don't hold up, because it's no longer just a RPG, it's an MMORPG in the true essence.
So in truth, Draw something and Diablo 3 are identical in that they are both MMO's.
Diablo 1/2 weren't MMO's but D3 is. It's a design decision Blizzard went with after WoW's monster success. Every game they make now will be an MMO and will be F2P.

Diablo 3 has single player mode. You can play the whole game single player like you could the previous 2 games. :dunno Yes, they expanded the multiplayer and crippled the single player with the always online DRM. You can't even pause in single player mode anymore. From what I heard though, its single player mode is cool with NPC characters that will campaign with you, which is what D2 needed. Actually gives purpose to the paladin's skills in single player.
Unless I am campaigning with friends, I actually always preferred single player mode. I could play much more casually, I never felt obligated to play more than an hour at a time and these days I have to pause video games on a very regular basis. I am a little sad that since my gaming is spread out more, I might be "too old" for Diablo III. :( The crippling of single player with the DRM probably gonna keep me from buying this game. and mostly because I won't be able to pause. Its kinda sad because I love the Diablo games so much.
