I was always a big fan of the Warcraft series more than anything so when WoW was released I was mega pumped.
Diablo III does look pretty cool, but do I have to have loved the first 2 to appreciate the 3rd? From a non Diablo fanboi perspective, it doesn't look that special. Quite pretty, but not particularly innovative, an updated Baldurs gate or Gauntlet for example?
Just throwing this out there. I've got an open mind and I'll keep following it to see if all the hype sucks me in.

Diablo, in my mind, is a dungeon runner. There are always some bells and whistles added to it, but in its essence it just looks like a dungeon runner to me. I've played several dungeon runners. I enjoy them. If you like them I think you'll like Diablo III. I could be way, way off, though.
