"Man you really know how to put the hurting on the fanboys lol. Yeah fanboys I believe don't do much good to the gaming world these days. I mean it kinda reminds of the whole final fantasy VII: Crisis Core review that was made (personally FFVII never interested me in the first place). Even though I never played the Diablo series I may consider picking this game up."

"Same here with peacemaker. I never got around to playing any Diablo, but I'm going to check this out for sure.
Fanboys should really shut up and try to actually make a game if they know what's right, but with the Internet, they'll always have a voice.
I want to read something useful on N4G.com, but most of it is opinions that have no merit. I don't waste my time reading it, but I would like the think that the 100+ new items on my Google Reader are somewhat useful information."

"Well, Adam just completely nailed fanboys and all their worth. I could have sworn he would mention Banjo-Kazooie Nuts and Bolts in there. As a Banjo fanboy, I admit I'm a tad anxious about the new direction because it strays quite far from it's original kick-ass formula. But I'm open-minded to their decisions, and to the new idea. And they're the ones who freaking own and make the game, so what say do I have? I think it will be a good game in the end because Rare is awesome, and Banjo is awesome. Rogue09 is a douche."

"I think it is really foolish for people to complain about the graphics in D3 after seeing only one dungeon in the alpha version.
What people are complaining about is the colour in D3. Clearly these people don't understand that color sets mood. I doubt these people are the type to really know what they want and I bet they would rather play the colorful D3 than a gray D3, if they had a chance to try both.
Blizzard knows what they're doing. Every game from them is a hit. So these fanboys look crazy when they try to correct Blizzard. Maybe if Blizzard through out a bad game once in a while, fanboys would have more room to talk."

"Ultimately, dumb people instantly hate change, even when the change is for the better. It takes them a while to come around and accept the better change. The problem with these people is that they don't understand that progress requires change. These people are a hindrance to progress in general."

"People Dont like Change even if the chande makes the game better, Diablo looks great and might be a great game."

"I am currently playing Diablo 2 over again. They're right: the game NEEDS color. Sure the fanboys might have a point - Diablo 2 was top notch graphic design...for the year 1999! Now, it looks like a squalid mess of brown and black. The people who are so upset ought to take a good hard look at what they're really asking for."

"Hopefully its not pay to play like world of warcraft. i like actually playing games without paying to play them"

"Whether it be 2,200, or 2 million people there will always ALWAYS be a certain people who reject change. Like the cloning of animals, Christianity, or even making love to little boys (NAMBLA *ahem*) diablo 3 is just a tiny tiny miniscule version of it."
