I don't really know if it came from the long waiting, or if the game was crap compared to D2 plus the icing on the cake DRM/RMAH. Oh wait maybe both reasons lol, I just don't wanna hear about an expansion, sorry ActiBlizz. | ||

We should thank Jay Wilson for leading a team which not just created D2 in 3D, but an actually new Diablo. I guess that many think if they overstate a lukewarm opinion to blow it big to a negative one, they would do something good to encourage a big company to work harder. But this negativity and hate is just laughable. | ||

I did not care about Atma, she was just another questgiver. Is this really because of bad storywriting and not because you are older and learnt from all the movies to expect stuff like this? Or you watched all the datamined stuff beforehand and knew what will happen because of that? | ||

Could be because I am older, but its probably because the gameplay was so replayable in D2 that sometimes you caught parts of the story on your second, third, and thousandth time through. Same for BW. D3 wasn't worth a replay, for many of the reasons mentioned above. | ||

The auction house is also really neatly implemented, its tuning (should be tuned so that item flipping is not more profitable than farming) and the item system (range of quality on uniques is too big) however ruined the game. | ||

Well, storytelling was fine. Story itself sucked. But I like D3 mainly for its combat. It has very visceral satisfying feel to it, you feel every punch. Also skill system turned out way better than I thought it would be. When they announced it I doubted it was right decision, but I think it was. | ||

Inferno forces people into a couple of builds, but it's the same thing in other games like TL2 in elite / EHC mode. Same thing with stat points, you just put enough in a stat for something, and max damage. my EHC outlander has zero points into vit and str, you don't need them, it's useless. Then I just run around throwing glaives for 90% of the game. Everything else is either a buff or a passive skill. I don't care about the story elements in either game, so I really won't mention it. I do agree that D3 is too "hollywood / mainstreamized" as opposed to the original. SC2 as well. | ||

If you played D3 at all, you must have noticed the great improvements in the actual combat. Much more diverse, much more strategic. | ||

I guess that many think if they overstate a lukewarm opinion to blow it big to a negative one, they would do something good to encourage a big company to work harder. But this negativity and hate is just laughable. You say, we should thank them for not creating a D2 in 3D and claim, that this is a new Diablo, while actually it quite resembles WoW in 3D. The only areas where D3 surpasses its predecessor is account management, hero control and graphics. Plus, no more skeletons blocking your way in the Maggot Lair. However, the more I think about it, I'd rather be stuck in the Maggot Lair with my handful of skeletons than meeting the flavorless monster X with its just as flavorless companions. | ||
