If I had to cut my PC game collection down to a bare minimum, the Diablo series and the PG/PzC family of games would be among my "keepers." Don't worry, Kerensky... I understand the allure of the big D, we've only been waiting over 10 years for this. :shock:

That, and though I had low expectations for Skyrim ... I am very, very pleasantly surprised (in a jaw dropping way) and impressed by the few hours of gameplay I have manages to scrounge up.
Too much fun, too little time :)

Interesting enough, there are a lot of parallels between Diablo and Panzer Corps, if you think about it.

You slaughter huge masses of enemy units and suffer player death very rarely.
You slaughter huge masses of enemy units and suffer player CORE UNIT losses very rarely.
In addition to nameless masses, there are champion and even unique named monsters that are extra powerful.
In addition to nameless masses, there are unique enemy units that are extra powerful (Patton, Kutzebra, Kolobanov KV1 from Leningrad)
As you progress through the game, you gain new equipment (weapons and armor) that does increase the damage you put out, but does not make the enemy pitifully weak (they also scale up)
As you progress through the game, you gain new equipment (late model infantry and tanks) that does increase the damage you put out, but does not make the enemy pitifully weak (they also get new and more advanced equipment).

The only thing missing is the ability to name yourself in Panzer Corps, just like you can name a Diablo III Character! lols

I am intrigued, I was impressed by the 3 hour reviews people had written, noticing the almost every single person had got up to something totally different, including Horse theiving!

Those are some extremely interesting parallels, Kerensky. Makes me wonder just how many PzC/PG fans are also fans of the Diablo series.

Perhaps in the future there could be a combination of the two into one game... Diablo Corps, anyone? :twisted:

Could be why both titles really appeal to me. :D

I can just picture it now. People think QQ about King Tigers is bad, Diablo unit is gonna break the forums.

Having spent hundreds of hours in Daggerfall and Morrowind, and been disappointed by Oblivion, I was cautious at first, but honestly, after a couple of hours, I am blown away. An impressive sandbox RPG with modern/"AAA" production values plus I love Jeremy Soule's music).
Could be why both titles really appeal to me. Very Happy
