EPTWhat I am really missing is the possibility to individualize your character. All skills are 'forced' on you and you can't assign stats for your hero individually. I can't imagine that individualizing your character with weapons and runes will be able to give me the same entertainment. So sadly my character feels quite 'generic' to me. Pure individualisation by items only won't satisfy me.

It's too easy, games nowadays are way way too easy. The graphics are very climatic and stuff but textures and models are not good, it looks like from 2009. Last thing, armors and weapons look bad also, there are too few of them and they barely differs. I know Sacred and its sequel were not so awesome but Blizzard should honestly learn from them how armors and weapons should be done. | ||

D3 feels and plays like a generic, washed down MMO. Sad to say, but hardcore pc gaming is slowly dying. | ||

I'm worried that my friends are going to buy into this game hard, and I am going to be shaking my head thinking, yea, this would have been cool 5 years ago. It feels like I've been waiting for a good action fantasy RPG and there hasn't been anything promising until now. I just don't want to be disappointed again. | ||

Lan does mean something in this sense, it means a bunch of mates and an esky full of beer instead of skype  I know what you mean though. | ||

Combat is a bit annoying as well, can't switch between skills the same way as in D2 making the combat segments more repetive than they should be. Might buy it since there's few other games I play right now, but so far it's not more than 3/5 from me. | ||

You played the first two hours of the first act, on normal difficulty. It's not intended to be difficult at all. Go play D2 on normal up until Blood Raven, the difficulty is about the same. | ||

From what Blizzard mentioned, there will be more items in Diablo III than with Diablo II, including the runes. So you will get your item fix, that is for sure. Will just have to wait till the actual release though. | ||

rated 4.0/5 but would rate 4.5 if it were an option. Just from the demo it carries the same feel, atmosphere, visuals, and style that made diablo 2 a really special experience. I'm really looking forward to dimming the lights, putting on the 5.1, and playing through the campaign on normal for the first time by myself without any of the social aspects. | ||

Anyway the combat felt rather good, I think. I enjoyed it a lot. I felt it lacked any real punch, but I don't know if that's just now and will get better at higher levels or if that's just my character, I played a witch doctor. The hits felt really seemless, though. Like, the firebat-thingy (aoe-breath) was really.. I didn't notice barely any effect on the actual enemies, beside the numbers popping up. Also, the fact that everyone get every spell everytime you play a character is awful. AWFUL. The diablo genre is, to me, all about making choices that will severely limit you in other areas. Albeit, in diablo 2 some builds was and are just amazingly good in every aspect, but the point is that you can't have it all. Granted, you can't have it ALL here either, but every spell, as far as I can tell. The runes are what seperate you from other players? I don't even need to create another witch doctor. Ever. I don't know, it feels like bullshit. That's the biggest problem I got with it. I want to have to make a couple of the same class in order to fully experience it. I don't have A LOT of free time so it would take me quite some time to get all the characters sorted but I feel that would be more satisfying than having a copy of everyone else's character. I mean, the runes even got blatantly better as you leveled up. I don't know, perhaps I've missed something. So far; not impressed. | ||

The fact that you upgrade your blacksmith (don't know if there was any other stand you could, I didn't really explore the town, I wanted to get a feel for the combat, even if it's really low level, and then the server turned shit on me) was very cool. I feel like it's a good idea, I don't know how useful it will be though. However, I feel the way it's implemented makes it really dull. It's just like dumed down profession leveling in any mmo out there. And this isn't supposed to be an mmo, is it? Anyway the combat felt rather good, I think. I enjoyed it a lot.

So far; not impressed. my thoughts exactly.... before in D2 certain builds work in certain areas for certain bosses... now in D3... i used this set up in this area... then change set up (1 min) now i can farm effectly in another area.... everyone will have one character for each class and thats it... everyone will be the same... end of story no need to find that magical build or your own unique one... or replay the game. dont get me started on the new rune system... 6 runes that unlock with levels... some of those runes dont even add anything special to a skill and most rune effects are reused on lots of different skills.... they got lazy with the rune system and went with the easy way out. some runes for skills are just place holders it seems because they couldnt think of 6 unique or special effect for all the skills. | ||

It was like "hey here's a new ability we forcefully unlocked for you, just click here, have fun!". The feeling of choice was almost non existant :/( Which led me to feel like I didn't gave a shit about my own char, which is the opposite of d2 :I I respectfully disagree. Sure the stat gains are automated, but you can buy or craft gear that boosts the other stats. I actually like what they did with abilities. You can swap out abilities based on preference or based on what enemies you are fighting. It gives you the freedom to play around with all the abilities rather than being stuck with a certain skill path for the rest of the game. | ||
