hehe I agree with your agreeance Ziroc,
what is really sad is that darkstone didnt have the benefit of good marketing because it really was deserving.
oh and I have serious issues with Diablo 2....I got so excited when I saw the box had 3 CD's...only to be dissapointed that one was entirely cinimatics...now I know what they spent all that extra time and money doing...I would have much rather that disk contain more gaming levels and storyline....not some half baked attempt at an animated feature film. I'm not real big on large cinimatic sequences...it wastes valuable space for more important stuff...like stuff that involves me and my joystick!!!! DUH!!! LOL
compared to BG2, Diablo 2 is absolute garbage...I still enjoyed it a bit but didnt get as into it as the original Diablo... for all the delays it had in its development, it is a very short game and doesnt hold a candle to BG2...IMHO
