Surely you noticed the " CONGRATULATIONS YOU FINISHED THE BETA " once you killed the Skeleton King ?

I took my time and cleared every single place and it took some 2+ hours to finish, though I went through the NPCs several times between quests to see if they had anything to say about them and did some minor crafting with the merchant.

Overall it's ridiculously short and easy, but the gameplay itself feels pretty fluid, will try other classes and some co-op later.
I think only interesting encounter I had during the game was super fast ranged monster with a pack of similar ones, he also had some sort of short stun thing on shot and during that time I managed to take quite a lot of damage from focus fire.

Be happy it took you nearly 2 hours, my first run through back in September took little over 45mins and that was reading everything and taking to everyone to get the story

Okay, I hope I will be able to run it smoothly, otherwise I have to buy a new laptop for this.

Price of Diablo 3 (350 DKK)
Price of laptop able to run it (9000+ DKK)
Playing Diablo 3: Priceless

:D

Already played beta, but lagged SO HARD. (either my laptop or my parents crappy internet, hoping for the latter)

People crying about no customization and the game being easy might have a problem upstairs if you know what I mean. Do World of Warcraft players complain about the first 10 levels of the game as being way too easy and not having any customizing ? Or do Starcraft 2 players play the first mission of the campaign on easy and declare it too easy and shit ?

You really ought to use your brains more if this is your line of thought, especially since Blizzard has often said Normal difficulty will be easy for experienced gamers and a way to train inexperienced ones up to a standard. People seem to forget there is Nightmare, Hell and Inferno to go. Apparently Inferno is so hard the developers themselves are afraid to play it...

Inferno hardcore ladder play. See you there people.

Some people enjoy farming for gear. Not every game has to be a WoW clone. Also, D3 is not an MMO, so comparing WoW and D3 is kinda pointless. But it's true that the Diablo series has been more of a single/coop game, it's never tried to be a MMO, and it still doesn't.

Anyway, if you don't enjoy games like this, then just don't buy it. There exists people who enjoy farming/grinding games and wants D3 to remain as such.

Gahhhh I'm so sad the beta playthrough is so short T.T I cancelled all my plans for this weekend thinking it would take some time to run through the game with every char... but now I think I should be done by saturday night...

More ontopic, I like the feel of the game so far. Crafting was fun and my Barb felt awesome cleaving through mass hordes. Kinda felt imba tbh as all I really had to do was left click with cleave through the entire game Can't wait for release to get to inferno and a real challenge :D
