    So I got the trial, seems pretty good at least i will get my fix till Diablo 3 comes out, anyone own the game drop a line about it, was considering to buy it tonight.

    I did read some horror stories on it, graphic errors and such. So far rated 7/1

    Scheduled release is 1Q 2009 - whether they DO release it is question or not, Blizzard usually is good on releasing on time, first time they screwed up the release.

    /At least they havent been working on Duke Nukem since 1999 lolol.

    I find that hard to believe. Who scheduled the game for that release date?

    By the way, there was a thread only a little while ago about Sacred 2. Use the search engine.

    Blizzard.com scheduled it for release, try reading some of their releases information. I Don't tend to believe most releases, but I know for fact they wouldn't release it late 2008 due to Lich King coming out.

    Was Revealed in June 08 in paris - not sure why the massive delay in releasing the game unless there was an entire engine upgrade or enough to cause that kind of a delay.

    I was under the impression they are releasing Starcraft 2 before Diablo 3, which would mean Diablo 3 couldn't be released in the next few months.

    They still have a lot to do before releasing Diablo III as Bashiok explains on battle.net forums:

    So really, I'd love to see Diablo III in 2009, but I fear it's not going to happen...

    With the lack RPG games in the pc game market, Sacred 2 is a pretty good filler until other titles such as Diablo III arrive. The game itself runs fairly well on my low end laptop (vostro 1500 with 8600 GTgraphics). The only problem might be the DRM security embedded in the game. One can only install the game twice before revoking previous installs. Plus one needs to be connected to the internet to activate the game. The plus side is that no disc is needed to be inserted in the dvd drive to run the game.
