    The "I hate mainstream" thing is just a trend.

    Anyway, I'm excited to play it.
    I think the Diablo universe would be a more interesting setting, just because I'm not into the whole futuristic/majority of classes use guns type thing.

    The only reason I agree with Bacn is because mainstream = popularity or biggest budget to shove it in people's faces to the point where it's cool because it's popular. Popularity or big budget doesn't necessarily = success. However, WoW get's a little bit more heat than it deserves. It's not a bad game, though I wasn't one of the ones to become addicted or interested in it. Since it's one of those instances where you probably only liked it because you hadn't played the games that it stole pretty much all of it's ideas from. Nor was it ever so "popular", if I may say, to play an MMORPG.

    So, yes, I'm also apart of the "I hate mainstream" trend, in general. However, I didn't jump on the bandwagon blindly and I'll admit to something being good, mainstream or not, if it deserves the credit. WoW doesn't deserve it in my book, but I can understand if other people enjoy it because it's certainly not a garbage game.

    Starcraft is pretty awesome, I think I would play a.... Universe of Starcraft anyone? lol I agree, the name doesn't really work. =\
    They should really make it out like a Hellgate:London, the gameplay style that is, IF they made a starcraft mmo.

    Just because a person's opinion does not match your's does not make a person a troll.

    He never said "Anyone that likes it is a ******".

    It's a video game, no reason to get so offended.

    Personally, I think, going by terms of reputation, it'll be terrible and generic and I won't buy it because I simply don't like any game that Blizzard have made. (Starcraft was okay, nothing special for me.)

    But, if somebody wants to buy that type of game, well, to me it's their loss, however, I see things differently than a lot of people...
    And if the cloud bursts, thunder in your ear.

    You shout and no one seems to hear.

    You missed the point completely.

    He's trolling by coming into a thread that is speculating what Blizzard's next MMORPG is-- and proclaiming his dislike for World of Warcraft.

    I agree with Aru,

    How can you post a opinion without a base?

    We don't know anything about the game and he already has a opinion.

    He's just bashing on Blizzard, not the game.

    We do know one thing though. Blizzard games are successful because they are popular and feature millions of fans, NOT because the games are good. Get a load of that. Bacn nailed it.

    ummm dude..... opinion is precisely that... an opinion. it doesnt have to have a base unless you are discussing what that opinion is worth.

    everyone is entitled to an opinion baseless or otherwise.

    plus like cingal said... its a game. nobody needs to get butthurt over it.

    also, deimos sez SAYING STUFF SUCKS BECAUSE ITS MAINSTREAM IS MAINSTREAM NOW OMG!!!! WHERE IS OUR GOD NOW? PARADOX!!!!!

    So basically Diablo 2+ expansion, starcraft and warcraft 1-3 that blizzard had made were only successful because of fans? :/ The mini games were pretty fun to me though.

    Rerail?

    Honestly, though a WOW2 would make me a happy camper, I would like for them to dabble in the Diablo universe again.

    You can't discuss with objectivity here. Everyone is so involved with the whole opinion deal that they forget what it means to be factual.

    Anyways, I believe their next MMO might be big. After the huge success of WoW, what else can you expect?

    So you are saying that the first Blizzard games were only successful because Blizzard was popular and had tons of fans. Hm, doesn't quite make sense to me.

    I never like WoW, I played W3:FT. And I've heard great things about there other games. Just because you think they went on a different road on one game, we should not give any of their future games a chance. Hm, that doesn't sound right to me either.

    Meh I'd rather see Diablo 3 being as a RPG then a MMO. It would kill the fun-ness of the game. I think they should start something new.
