Like this is not even inferno and it was just stupid hard (not fun or challenging, just annoying). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xWMnI-UF6Os

For the most part the game relies on gear checks not skill.

I Have been playing diablo 3 since launch and i dont know why there is so much hate for it as i have played through to lvl 60 as a demon hunter now, trying out awitch doctor and have sunk about 72 hours all up into the game. To me that is value for money,

You only get your $5 if you post on the official forums …

so many of the aspects that people complain about are design decisions. if they had listened to anyone on any aspect, there would be another person that would be mad about that aspect.

I think its more that D2 for some reason had more replay value, doing short sharpo boss runs felt more rewarding than the run the whole act with 5 stacks aproach.

Ive clocked up 300 hours in D3 and have stopped, I would hate to know how many hours I put into D2.

In the past few years I’ve bought two collector’s editions, Warhammer Online and Diablo 3. Both bombed. I think it’s a sign to avoid whatever game I get a CE for ;)

Blizzard has been Activisioned and this is the proof imo. Storyline was meh and the big ‘omfg Shyamalan plot-twist’ was obvious from a mile off. Randomization of the level was D2 quality (Blizzard made a big deal out of the replayability) and the random quest system didn’t really add a lot.

Almost all the people who I knew who started playing D3 have quit. I put more time into Terraria in the past week or so than I put into D3 altogether.

/me stops ranting.

QFT
I cant bring myself to play through all the story again on an alt……4 times!!!!
Don’t know what they are talking about working at re playability?
True Terraria and Binding of Isaac, blizzard could learn a few things here about re playability

I just don’t get it, all the needed to do is make a carbon copy of D2 with updated graphics and classes.. just like what they did with Starcraft 2. Really, no one would bitch about it.

The fact that their design brief was based around ‘how can we make players spend cash’, means it was doomed from the start. They tired to hook their player base in the wrong way.

All spells are scaled my items.. Inferno needing insane items to progress.. PVP being scored/recorded..

..it’s obvious what their intentions are.

It’s so strange how the game is so amazing looking, there’s this amazing setting, history and mechanics.. but it feels hollow. When I played it, it felt like I was in the Matrix; thinking I was doing one thing, but there’s this greater power fucking me over.

The fact Mike is commenting means they’re a little worried.

Same thing when i was playing, watched alot of Simpsons/Futurama/Fam guy etc…that was like a month ago. Sold my accounts.
Honestly, it wasnt a BAD game, i was just expecting more. Oh well.

Starcraft 2 was amazing tho, honestly I don’t think it’s a comment on blizzard’s quality of product it’s more they tried things that just did not work with the community or match community expectation, up till inferno I quite enjoyed it it’s just when I hit inferno all character progression ground to a halt

The fact that Blizzard has managed to screw D3 up so badly leaves me pretty depressed with regard to games.

Too little, too late…

Boring game is boring. Fix that.

I found myself playing it one day whilst watching an episode of a show on youtube.. The game itself wasn’t interesting enough, so I had to supplement it with something.

I haven’t touched it since.
