Diablo 3 Beaten in Just 7 Hours?

Two groups have beaten Diablo 3 in a mere seven hours, playing on the Normal difficulty setting.

Diablo 3 is officially out the door and in the hands of PC gamers worldwide after a long 12-year wait. The game was actually announced by Blizzard on June 28, 2008 but went into development long before that -- just one year after Blizzard published Diablo 2 in 2000. Needless to say, for Diablo fans, the wait was horrendous whether it was four years or 12 years.

With that timeframe in mind, there are reports that a group of four Korean gamers completed the campaign in seven hours -- that's from the opening sequence to defeating the final boss, Diablo himself -- playing on the normal difficulty setting. A second group of Chinese players also defeated Diablo in the same amount of time. Both parties even took screenshots of the defeated boss lying dead on the ground as proof of their victory (Korea shot, China shot).

As previously reported, Diablo 3 offers four difficulty levels: Normal, Nightmare, Hell and Inferno. Naturally as each mode increases, players will be faced with deadlier enemies packed with additional skills and higher levels of heath. But they also drop better loot in return for the player's hard work. That said, we'd like to see the same parties hack their way through Inferno -- once their characters have leveled up of course -- to see how long it will take.

Still, given that they completed the game in only seven hours on Normal mode, the campaign seems rather short given the extremely long development time. Maybe they didn't stop to read all the text? How long will it take for a single player to complete the campaign?

Skipped every cutscene, just blazed on to the quests skipping any side quest or random encounter. Does it mention if they had the official prima strategy guide?

This is just stupid IMHO.
 
Took me 8 hours just to complete act 1. I think I already got my money's worth.

It is incredibly daft, the game is a master piece...and let them finish it on nightmare or hell in 7 hours..I would love to see that.
I also bet they didn't do any crafting and upgrading of the blacksmith. I also bet that I've made more coins where I am now vs them at the end of the game.

Its stupid.

Its just so people can get their 15 minutes of fame, no doubt they will probably play it properly next time though
 
Wondering what was the fastest time someone completed Diablo II in Normal mode?

I do not like to play games to see how fast I can finish them... it's supposed to be relaxing and fun... not a zerg rush...

Enjoy the detail placed in the game...

It was a sad day....

NO, NO that was a lie.

Everything except the Servers falling over due to hight demand was a blatant, blatant lie.
 
I replay some acts to up experience levels and get some more item drops. What's the point of rushing through a game anyway. I want to savour it.
