It is a good game, but not the "Diablo" that most of the fans know.

Taken from the article:

" ... strong reason for concern. Today, Blizzard is not the same company it was a decade ago — most of the talent that worked on Diablo and Diablo 2 is long gone. Left with World of Warcraft developers to make Diablo 3, it’s no surprise that up and until a couple of months ago, Blizzard was still iterating on core game systems at a time when it should have been working on balance and content. But most alarming of all, Blizzard has broken its most sacred of mantras: “When it’s ready,” and is releasing an incomplete product. "

Yes, glad you did. imagine if Half-life 3 would be made not by Valve but other studio. It still can be good but, fans will feel a bit off.

Hmmm.. Sounds like u wan same shit but in different day? Just saying..no offence.

Improved shit in different day. Just don't give me a moose instead of my usual shit.

Maybe shit on a ribbon, or shit that have thorns coming out of it when I shit it out.

Just not a moose. I don't need a moose. I want my shit.

still better than EA

No it's not.

This is worse than EA.

yeap agreed. but it's still okay though

Rockstar's Max Payne 3. A sequel worthy of it predecessor.
Rockstar did it right. Can't wait for the PC.

for me i think any new series should have new things in it that will make it special then the previous version and not just transition from 2D to 3D. Why need to pay such a heavy price to play a game we play before with a similar style but in 3D?

But seeing how starcraft 2 is such a succes despite being a clone of starcraft 1, the formula has been crafted and proven. Why not roll with it and rip the rewards while the brand name is still strong?

having said that, i hope the new follow up will fix this, new awesome classes maybe and lets just hope the pvp will be something that will be jaw dropping.

business wise, brilliant. Gamer wise, mehhhh.....

Truthfully, I hope they left the "warp-between-arc" system alone....

or did I miss the easy method without need to leave game and change quest?

I have played D1, crazy on D2. This Disblo 3 feels different. Feels like playing Warcraft at times.

Not as awesome as Diablo 2. Fall short of expectation.

At first i was expecting complex skill tree + manual attribute allocation, which made me play D2 for a long period. For one class you can have different build for it.

Well this preset skills + attribute are making the games easier to play, but lost some fun at the same time.. For me, that is the biggest drawback..
