    I bought both of them. I don't think they will come out anywhere near close enough to each other for it to be any problem playing and enjoying both of them. Especially since they're both subscription-free.

    Well, since GW2 probably has more ex-Diablo developers working on it than D3, I'm going with GW2.

    I'll pick up D3 once it's in the bargain bin so that I can play with my friends. (Barring out if TL2 and/or PoE are worthwhile.)

    preordered D3 CE long ago.(loved the closed beta!..played D2+LoD for 2y nonstop)

    cancelled my preorder of GW2 2 days ago. (after 4hours playing with friends account)

    Not only are they not mutually exclusive, but one doesn't have a release date yet.

    Looks that D3 will give you at least a solid month or 2 to beat it before GW2 will launch. At least. If you can afford both, you can definitely play both. Neither require a subscription.

    Topic only makes sense if we're talking about how to fill the time until GW2 is released.

    Diablo 3 so far is a disappointment to me.

    I loved D2+LOD and that's why I'll be waiting for Path of Exile and not going to touch anything that has a Blizzard label for the rest of my life : )

    But yeah GW2 can't come soon enough, most ppl I know who did the BWEs have a pretty serious withdrawal syndrome.

    Well I already bought GW2 and I will wait until blizzard give me a better offer than $80 for D3

    I'm going to play both! These are "my games" that I've been looking forward to for awhile now.

    HOW the hell do you compare two differened genres?

    Both are great games.

  • EvilestTwinEvilestTwin Member Posts: 286
    I'm kind of past my item farming days so D3 isn't that big of a draw for me even though I spent most of my high school years playing D2.   If most of my friends get it I just might to play through each difficulty once with a few characters, but that's probably about it.

    Let's add a couple more games to toss into the mix of what you're going to play:

    TERA

    Skyrim xpac (Dawnguard)

  • I got nothing with D3 personally. To me it seems like going back in time lol.

    Only Guild Wars 2 first of all a MMO just takes alot more time to invest plus i hate blizzard games just not good enough to even concider.

    So choice is easy at moment im totally focussed on GW2.

    Maybe next year Elder Scroll Online?

    Pre-bought both and gonna play both. Good year to be a PC gamer with Dark Souls coming out later as well.

  • EduardoASGEduardoASG Member Posts: 832

    i doubt many people will buy both.,, and i think i could bet most will go for D3.

    Aion, AoC, AC, AO, DDO, Eve, Eq2, GW, MW3, L1&2, RF, RIFT, SWG, SWTOR, TR, UO, WOW, WAR

    Diablo 3 is PVE only.  I guess you just click around and kill monsters over and over.  Sounds kind of boring...  GW2 is a PVP game for the most part.  I don't really see these games competing.

    Same here! Both are unique and offer allot of fun. I'll probably concentrate on GW2 though when it comes out.

    I preordered Diablo3 and I cant wait for release.

    GW2 is just bad and over-hyped.

    I am sure Diablo3 will smash in sales any GW dreams.

    Borderlands 2 vs Diablo 3 

    who wins

    Halo 4 vs Mists of Panderia

    who wins

    Crysis 3 vs Skyrim

    who wins

    well...you get the idea

  • ClassicstarClassicstar Member UncommonPosts: 2,697

    First game is limited simple hack and slash dungeon crawler that you only play with few people, while second is massive multiplayer online roleplayin game thats new and fresh and focus on playing with thousends of other players in a dynamic beautiful huge world.

    So vs is not Fair i think the LATTER game WINS there is no real contest here not fair for the restricted simplistic first game is there?

    Hope to build full AMD system RYZEN/VEGA/AM4!!!

    This and he thought we  really were expecting a true versus thread when the title itself tell's me and anyone else with a grain of rationale thought that wasn't possible.

    Both. I will play GW2 when I feel like playing MMORPG more and D3 if I feel like playing hack and slash and dungeon crawl type game. Neither game require some commitment to "keep up".
