I guess we won't have to worry about spoilers....

Unfortunately, I have no desire to play it again. Remastered or not.. I like seeing some of my old favorites brought to higher resolutions and standards.. but I'm honestly ready to get off this nostalgia train.

I think a lot of peoples rose colored glasses are going to get broken on this one. I hope not... but this is the new blizzard we are talking about. Not the old blizzard that would have just made a better game and had people climbing the walls and have signing release parties where developers would be at Fry's to sign copies. Sure it would have to be at other stores now but you get the idea.

Blizzard if they haven't lost their magic **** sure have forgot where they put it.
