blizzard may be slow to release games, but when they do release one you can be certain that it will be a top-notch game
heck starcraft 1 and diablo 2 are still being played so many years after they were released.
true that. but i rather have them announce the game when theres only a year or two left until release. Starcraft 2 was announced with 3 years till launch. now it might be another year or two away and it's a damn trilogy now (still not happy about that at all)
And Diablo 3 which was announced this year was already said will not be out until after Starcraft 2 is finished. so if that means all 3 starcrafts were easily looking at 3 years till diablo. and i'm sorry i rather have them say a year before the game hey look what we've been doing instead of saying hey look what we just started a year ago and now were going to tease you for 4/5 years.
I'll use GTA as an example. GTA IV was in the works since after san andreas which came out in 2004. GTA IV was announced in 06. first trailer was in march of release year. and had the game come out ontime in october it would of been only a little after a year. and even in april it was a little under 2 years from announcement to release date
