Diablo III?

I've been getting more and more people telling me I should buy Diablo III because apparently it's 'my kind of game' but that means I'd have to buy myself a decent PC to play it on which will set me back quite a few pound because I doubt it would work on my HP laptop with 2GB RAM and 190GB Harddrive plus I hate gaming on laptop unless it's minecraft.

Any advice on what PC I should get and SHOULD I get Diablo III?

Did you play Diablo 1 and 2?

Im in the exact same position, italian road trip in 2 weeks time vs new PC and diablo 3 and be short on the trip!

Did you play/like Diablo 1 or 2?

No - That's the problem.
I've played WoW before but it'd annoy me if I haven't played 1 and 2 which means I'd buy them as well (I have too much time on my hands)

And tbh.. I'd be short on the trip

I'd buy one of the first two to begin with, it'll probably only set you back a pound or two from ebay or I'd offer to post you my copy.

I have been playing Diablo 3, I got it free by signing up to a year of WoW

Its OK - did you like Diablo 2? Its more of the same but prettier

My rig is an Intel i5 with 16GB RAM (8 gig is never used but RAM was cheap), a 60GB SSD to boot off of, 2x500GB SATA drives striped to give 1TB and 2xGTX460's in SLI (MSI Factory overclocked Talon Attacks)

Works nicely on my Dell 24" 1920x1200 res monitor

Speaking of Minecraft, just found out my eldest Nephew plays minecraft (actually so does his little brother, but on his mums iPad - I'd disown my sister if I could )

So I spent a little while at the weekend setting up a multiplayer server so that we can play together when he gets back from his holiday

You can pick up Diablo 2 for cheap, install it on your laptop and see if you like the "click like mad to attack everything" gameplay, if you do, Diablo 2 may be of interest.

Let me check if my Diablo 3 comes with a Guest Pass, if it does you can use it to try for 7 days I think.

Also, apparently you can download a demo from battlenet that allows you to play the first chapter for free.

What's that for? Number 3 or 2?

I may see how much a copy is I don't want to pay too much because I have to buy a PC

You are into computers and the internet in general, you'll know where you can get a copy of D2 from.
You just wont be able to play it online with others, but you could play it on LAN with friends, and it will run on ancient machines.

Playing in a team is the idea, on your own gets old after a while.

This is why I wish I had gamer friends :/
