Nah, the game's OK IGN even listed it amongst the top 25 games post 2006 Personally, I find D3 not to be an outstanding achievement in gaming, but it's not even close to being a bad game, and I have more fun with it than with D2. I played D2 for years upon years so... comparing DNF to D3 is pure bullshit. | ||

It's that the people Blizzard has now aren't the same people when Blizzard released their old games. It's massively apparent with Jay Wilson's comments and overall game design decisions in D3. Yes it is for half their catalgoue. A good portion of the people who made Starcraft made SC2. The people who made WoW 1.0 are making Titan. It's only D3 and WoW expansions that the staff is significantly different from the previous staff. The problem isn't just people leaving but the problem is that some of the people who stayed behind have lost their touch. | ||

So many people blaming Activision for Blizz's apparently lower quality of games and they come out and say that it wasn't really Activision behind all of it; it was really their own doing and whatnot >.< | ||

Or it could be total happenstance that two of their three franchises went to total shit after the merger. | ||

If I had the chance to play diablo 3 I probably still would have bought it for the nostalgia and the fact I can put 30 hours into it before it became awful repetitive. 30 hours for 60 dollars? I don't mind paying them 2 dollars on the hour for my entertainment, that also doesn't equate the random playings I still have from time to time. | ||

Diablo 3 RMAH is probably the best example of this, and just in general it seems most of their decisions are now driven by "what is going to make our game the most appealing to the most people" as oppose to "what's best for the game itself". I mean it's pretty obvious they are getting pressure from Activision to increase the bottom line. Not really blaming them, they are a business and their main goal at the end of the day is to make money, but it shouldn't be the deciding factor behind everything. They need to balance out and be careful not to sacrifice too much game quality just to make profits. It's been a different company for years man and people will always point to the guys at the top of the ladder.

Don't get me wrong. There are still a number of senior members on the team as well, but when the studio gets as big as they are. Going to be awfully hard to live up to the hype of delivering top notch games. This is why hardcore gamers look to the small studios that want to break out. | ||

Comments like these just show the majority of people who bitch about Blizzard have unreasonable expectations and demand everything be 100% exactly what they want. Blizzard still does an amazing job they just can't cater to absolutely everyone and meet some of the ridiculous expectations people have for them. But anyways, here the haters are on a forum for a Blizzard game. | ||

I think the biggest complaint is that it was in production for quote "10 years" ... They produced a game that was borderline mediocre in that time, but lke I said I got my 30 hours out of it. I would have rathered they did the SC2 approach and announce it 3 years before release (2007 to 2010 lol) | ||

They've had to make big changes just to keep the dwindling player base as it is and their efforts came way too late to save them. I would'nt be surprised if the game is completely dead within a year from now. | ||
