    So now they're shooting for Q2 2012.

    Hopefully this will stick.

    Yeah hopefully. I think it will, although they may wait until the very end. I would like early may because I am going to Wisconsin and will be bored out of it.

    Pre-ordered and downloading the full client NAO. Hopefully I can at least listen to some music or watch a pretty log in animation. Not being in the beta sucks :(

    The sad thing is, I've played Diablo 2 for like a month during ladder reset for every year I've owned it, and that was like 8 years ago.

    Thinking about buying a laptop for this. I've had my current one for over 5 years, so I think it's an update. I want to keep it under like 900 bucks, and I'm leaning towards a Dell since I've had zero issues with any of my Dells in the past. Just wondering how an nvidia geforce 525M stacks up, graphics-wise, if any of you have had the chance to play the beta, or even SC2. I'm fine with Medium settings.

    He said he wants a laptop, not a fucking gaming desktop. Jesus.

    I think any new laptop that doesn't have a shitty integrated video card would run Diablo 3 on high or close.

    If you do want to do a lot of gaming and you don't ever want to move your computer then
    Buy a fucking desktop to game on, for fuck's sake

    Possibly, but I doubt it. Plus a laptop with decent graphics is more than a good desktop PC.

    At least high-medium. Have you looked at the recommended settings? Blizzard games are always super easy to run. Please don't post shit like this unless you know what the fuck you're talking about.

    Actually, you don't. You frequently give fucking retarded advice in the gaming forum, especially about PC-related shit.

    this reminds me of elementary school when we'd all argue over which video game console was the best.

    Except no one is actually arguing about what is best, desktops are in fact superior to laptops for gaming. That is a fact.

    Of course they are. I'm sure your not suggesting I'm suggesting that? All I'm saying is that DIII has low system requirements compared to most new games and that it can run on medium-high + on almost any new laptop that doesn't have a shitty integrated card. Don't be a stupid dick fuck.

    Tell me something, have you played the beta? Have you messed around with the video settings?

    Also, you know that "recommended requirements" are what the devs recommend to play the game on like, low-med at about 60 FPS right? Those aren't the specs to run it on high.

    LOL. Are you kidding? Even a low end M card is going to chug on medium/high on a laptop. You seem to be forgetting that their clock speeds tend to be crippled across the board, GPU/CPU/etc. Nevermind that unless it has an SSD, it'll have a 5400 RPM hard drive, making for texture loading to be super laggy/slow.

    You -will not- be playing Diablo 3 on high or greater on a moderate laptop. Even my desktop, with: i7-860 @ 3.6ghz, 1600mhz 8gb ram, 5870(still on par with the 7950!).. I get some frame jittering from time to time in Diablo 3 on maxed settings. (Most likely a VRAM issue, something that'd be infinitely worse on any laptop).

    Edit:
    I DO have access.

    I am also on the beta and using a fucking two-year-old Dell laptop. A decent dell, but still.

    I guess if you play in ShitxShit resolution, you can do whatever you want.

    that feel when cognacad buys a mbp for like 2500 bucks, says he doesn't care about gaming and lol pcs, and here is needing to use a "fucking two year old" dell laptop to play a game

    Ok, let's get a few things straight:

    1. Desktops are clearly better than laptops for gaming. I have built like 50 gaming PCs and easily appreciate the fact that they are better than laptops.
    2. I own a 3000$ Mac because I think the OS is far superior and because I didn't play a cent for it and its enough to max Diablo III.
    3. I don't own a dell and I don't need to use the dell, I use it because its in my second office.
    4. I am not going to fucking take a video of shit. I'm not going to go through that much trouble to prove something that you can find out in a few minutes in the forums.
    5. Any new "full-sized" not super bargain laptop without a shitty integrated video card can run Diablo III on medium-high.

    so by "full sized" you mean "expensive"

    hell yeah motherfucker let's spend 900 bucks on a laptop that can only play diablo 3 on high

    By full-sized I mean not a little netbook or pocketpc or mininonsense. Why would you pick on that small little detail out of that whole thing?

    Also, in all seriousness, is 900$ for a laptop that much these days? I thought maybe 600-700$ would be pretty standard and 900$ good but not ridiculous?

    because you're making a lot of qualifications and not being specific at all. so that's why it's kinda annoying when you make baseless claims that are inherently more baseless when you can't even really pinpoint what type of machine you mean. most laptops in the 400-500 price range are shitty with integrated graphics.

    Even most $900 laptops still have graphics that are integrated or not all that great. You need to spend $13-1400+ to get a laptop that would run a game like D3 on high at a resolution that wouldn't make you seriously consider suicide

    That's also an Asus and their notebooks really aren't that great

    edit: On top of that, a 5400 RPM HDD is fucking shit for this game. People who use them were complaining of issues where the game gets major framerate lag when moving quickly through a zone in areas they hadn't been yet. Even people with 7200 RPM drives were complaining of it happening a little.

    Yes but I said any new laptop without a shitty integrated graphics card... thats pretty specific, no?

    Also, I'm not positive, but this is at least medium-high, no? And I'm pretty sure this is a standard video card (the one the guy a few posts back was enquiring about).
