With Diablo 3 coming mid May and Guild Wars 2 Prepurchase beta starting at the end of this month, I am having a hard time choosing which game I will put the most time into. No doubt I am getting Diablo 3 as I am a fan of the series. But which game should I sink a lot of my playtime into and play it hardcore. I dont think I can get into both games.

Well, that is an interesting way to think about that, really....

Getting D3 when it comes out.
Getting GW2 when it comes out.

You need to plan this already?
If you're going to get both and you say you are, you see which one you enjoy more and play that.
I mean that's what's going to happen anyway. Unless you're strange and you will think "But I made a thread in April about this. I must pull through!"

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Probably the worst thing I've read in a month or two, it's not even funny. I'll give him props for trying, at least.

I would personally not give props to the worst thing I've read in 2 months.
I will be getting both.

I'm getting both, but I'm extremely hyped for Guild Wars 2.
Oh I assumed Guild Wars 2 could get released this year. No doubt I will get Diablo 3 and do a couple of playthroughs. But what I am saying is its going to be a hard decition deciding between which game I should invest a lot of time in and play it hardcore.
I can either play Diablo 3 casually and invest most my time on Guild Wars 2. Or just stick to Diablo 3 and play that hardcire (getting into endgame playthrough). Like I said before I have no time to play both games as I still have my console games and have work, social life etc.

wait, diablo 2's guys are making guild wars? :S
Arenanet is partially made up of former Blizzard employees.
Anyway, I'll be getting both. I don't need GW2 beta so no worries about have to play both at once.
GW2 is confirmed to be coming out in 2012 and was mentioned that it'll be out in less than 6 months.
£49.99 - 20% VAT = £41.67 = $66. Doesn't seem that far off to me.

Play both for a couple hours and see where you want to spend your time.
Not sure why this would have to be planned out beforehand?
Unless there are unforeseen circumstances that delay the game.
considering full price new release PC games here are £24.99-£29.99 the large majority of the time, that price for the standard edition is horrific.

If you're going to sink a lot of playtime into it and play hardcore, you're probably looking at 1000s of hours. So play both games' campaigns (will probably be in only the ~20 hour range each), then decide where the remaining 99% of your playtime will go.
Neither has recurring monthly fees afaik, so you're free to jump back and forth as much as you'd like if you change your mind!

since they're not out yet, if we're going to judge them by the track records of diablo 2 and guild wars 1... diablo 3 wins, no contest.
To be fair, there is only one person at ArenaNet that used to work at Blizzard that actually does anything on GW2. Two of the founders left ArenaNet and the remaining one runs business stuff.
D3 isn't out yet. There could be unforeseen circumstances that delay it too. Your point?
Europeans often ask for price parity with US, and this what you get!
I would love to get D3 but at a point in my life where i don't get a whole lot of game time and the limited free time i do get i like to watch shows, movies as well as play games. Wish i was 15-16 like when D2 came out so i could spend all my time on it
But if you have time to play both i say go for both, they both look phenomenal to me.

Major PC games? What price is Diablo 3 gonna be?
£45 from blizzard, most stores have it for £37 though.
