Demo is out, and much to my relief it seems to be getting panned. I really don't need another game addiction on the scale of D2 or WoW.:P
I got into the beta and futzed around a bit last night. I'm not too terribly impressed. Now granted, I played for maybe an hour with a single class so I don't have nearly the amount of data necessary to declare the game "crap" with any authority, but little things like lack of NPC dialog, music, loose movement, and the suprisingly un-visceral feel of the weapons don't help much. I plan to play around a bit more with some of the other classes but at this point it looks like I can save myself $50 on October 31. I said the same thing after playing the D2 open beta though, and 4 years later I was still playing the same game.
