[/QUOTE] 12 years wait + hype + blizzard name behind it = explanation for your argument. Also,the game is not a flop, it just isn't worth the 60$ behind it, but, if you don't mind paying 60 bucks for a game like this, be my guest...- Please wait. Quick reply will be available shortly.

6.3 million sold in the first week (most ever for a PC game). Professional review average of 89% at Metacritic.
Neither of these things are indicative of a flop.

Yes i think this game is well worth the 60 bucks. Its very fun and engaging! To complain about the internet requirment and to drop its score because of that is amazing to me. To me, someone who is always connected to the internet anyways, refuses to believe people really care tha much about something so simple when most of D3 players play World of Warcraft anyhow which also requires a internet connection. Honestly, we have become a nation of me, me, me first and enitilement that its just getting out of hand....

The game is garbage compared to what It could have been. Huge budget potential, talented teams, the final result is something you'd expect from a middle way editor. Horrible and unsocial battle.net 2.0, boring and un addicting itemization, even more linear and shallow than before, bad hitboxes, '' Of course, of course! Just as the dead rose around the Stranger, the sword pieces drove the goatmen to madness.'' lol writing, lackluster final fight, No pvp are they serious? The game is so short and linear you can tell how they put the least possible effort. Cheap cash-in hype and built to not compete with WoW.
Vivendi blow.

Diablo III is awesome. Problem is, now a lot of people are acting like if the first and second Diablo games were the best thing next to sliced bread. Thing is, most of you guys have not played that game in half a decade. So, how can you even judge?- Please wait. Quick reply will be available shortly.

I played Diablo 2 with a friend online last year and we couldn't get it to it like back in the old days. The game suffered from much worse lag then D3 and if you got to far apart and one person killed the boss only one person would get credit. That means the other person has to leave the game and come back in to complete the quest. When you had two summoning classes like Necromancer and Druid at the same time the lag made it near unplayable. This is not taking into account the terrible graphics at 800x600 resolution. On the flip side we can play Diablo 3 just fine and enjoy it without all the nuisances of Diablo 1 and 2.

By the great experience we had back in the days? Of course now the graphics are dated and the servers run on some low end hardware but this doesnt erase the great formula that was D2 and most of it revolve around a good multiplayer which D3 lack. Give me Diablo 2 2.0 with improved graphic, quality servers and a few additions there and there and I would play it and enjoy it, trust me.

You can chat... What else do you want? A guild? I couldn't care less about guilds for that game but that's your opinion.

Again, what did you expect? Is there supposed to be something overly exciting about getting loot? It's all about the graphics and the gameplay.
[QUOTE="sblazed"]

[/QUOTE]
Clearly you can't tell how much effort they've put into this game. This type of game has to be more or less linear for the story to make sense. Besides, there are side-quests and areas that are optional to the main quest... I don't understand the trend of thinking that any type of game is better if it's not linear. Also, you can choose whatever quest you want to do at any time. Games that aren't linear typically give you the option to choose which quest you want to do first, which is not a big deal, or just throws you into a huge world like Skyrim does. Some games are better if they're not linear, but this one clearly isn't one of them imo.

To be fair the previous Diablo games were meh until they release the expansions and fixed most of the bugs / added more stuff. D3 feels like they have only released half a game tho, so much missing from what D2 had.. charms/enchanting/socketing.. blah blah. The item drops are badly implemented, why is a rare item so much more powerful than legendary ones? They got a lot of stuff to fix to make this game good. I would expect an expansion in the next 6 months which will make this game what it should have been.

[/QUOTE] Chat ? Yea subpar chat. Hold on there, you really think that matchmaking is any better than selecting and creating your games ? Lol no need to say more. All about the graphics and the gameplay ? I think you forgot the whole point of a rpg, more pricesely of a hack'n'slash such as Diablo. FUN gears grinding is a major element to every rpg if you want any kind of replay and longevity, switching the good loots to random elite mobs, turning legendaries into subpar items and overall poor and uninteresting affixes. You know anybody blowing 2k hours in dinasty warriors and games like that ? I bet not. SPOILER in this paragraph Or not. The whole game is on rail, you can't skip x or x quest and im not talking about the random mini events scattered around ( which are good imo but nothing outstanding ). You can't even switch betwen the acts unless you make another game, this is bad design in essence. The game is short and talking about the story making sense, sorry but Tyrael raising up a zombie epidemic by falling down doesnt make any sense, at least ACT1 is the most interesting and the cinematics are good. Pvp is coming but in how long ? Remember how they had arenas running at blizzcon 1 year ago, how could they, BLIZZARD not implement this in the final product. Hey id give you a team of 10 and in 3 weeks you could pull off 1 or 2 good arenas into the game without problem. Better yet, how hard it is to add a duel option ala WoW. No no this isn't worthy of my expectation, they really cut it low to turn this into the biggest cash-in as possible, we're not in 1995 anymore, Blizzard and vivendi swim in their own money and apparently their greed has no limit.- Please wait.

If they do bring it to the consoles, I'll pick it up for 1200 microsoft points on xbox as that's actually what it's worth in terms of effort to develop the game.
