I was actually pretty disappointed with the game as a whole. There is absolutely nothing in the game that strikes me as amazing, challenging or well thought out.

People saying Inferno is tough? Bullshit. Its just like all the other previous difficulties with more monster affixes and ten times the health. Bar a few elites which nobody can kill (Vampiric, Teleport, Fast, Shielding), every other elite is a walk in the park.

I'm on Act II Inferno right now and the only thing you do is:

1) Does this weapon drop have more DPS than my current weapon?
2) Does this armor drop have more primary stat that my current armor part.


78 hours in, 23k DPS later and I feel no reason to improve my character any more. Why should I when I can just buy stuff off the AH?

Lets not even talk about Method and all the other "top players" in the world who exploited the resplendent chest bug in Act II for their 1k+ DPS weapons.

Added on May 21, 2012, 10:42 pmblizzard's game isnt just to finish it. If u want to finish a game go play Lara croft or batman or whatever adventure games out there. Blizzard has a history of making games with extremely high replay value and depths where its hardcore gamers will continue for years and years.

For diablo 3...i'm bored after 5 days. There isnt anything to do, no decisions to make...they set and give u everything..u dont even have to pick your stats and skills..u cant customise your characters...items are downright boring...every item is the same..just cosmetic changes...my witch doctor is carrying a pole arm WTF....and wizards and barbs wear the same exact amour and the legendary weapons suck (as seen in AH)...there is no difference between the classes (they are all DPS) except for the way they fight (choose range or melee, and thats about it)...etc etc

And you have to repeat this 3 times for normal, nightmare and Hell (inferno doesnt matter, u'll die before u can talk to anybody).

What do ppl do after they finish Hell? In D2, ppl start to farm item...but considering the annoying flow of the game as mentioned above, how on earth can they farm items smoothly without the inconvenience of having to talk to so many NPCs after every short fights?

Added on May 21, 2012, 10:50 pmIts not bad for a fun casual game if it was made by some indy developer. But this is a blizzard title. its abysmal compared to their other releases.

Boss fight is very disappointing in D3. Can't believe it is too ez. Mobs are harder than boss. game play too short. Not much different between, Normal, nightmare, hell and inferno except mobs hit harder and higher HP.

today. officially. i get bored. of diablo3.







p.s esp barbarian that need to kite non stop to kill a pack of rare mob. zzz

in one way, they've added a few 2012 user-friendly features into the game mechanics, like the health globe, teleport, auto-gold,etc.

And yet, for a company this big, they STILL reuse textures and models for a higher-level (champion) character. Easy-Med-Hard difference in just harder/faster/stronger enemies. Oh, so Diablo 2 got a sand desert city, let's just reuse that.

Lazy, lazy, lazy.

Know what kind of mechanics is this? It was used in old, old RPGs, in old, old games like Contra. That micro genius version. Heck, this is the same lazy (by 2012 standard) system used in TETRIS!


That is a big letdown to me. Not to mention that here you have this beautiful, big architecture, and no damn way to interact with.


And all this may not mean so much, but when I found out that WoW developers made this game, then all of the big shit stuff that people are saying makes perfect sense!


- the MMORPG approach (screw MORPG or some random shit term man, IT IS MMORPG! arguing semantics doesn't make you win)
- the day1 patch
- the so-suddenly-its-a-coming-soon-feature
- the tries-to-have-the-diablo-feel-but-fails
- huge but inaccessible and useless environment
- wtf man I see in background you have this HUGE monsters either fighting or doing something, but when it comes to you (like in a boss fight) they're like the anak or baby this is just faking lazy!


All this, coming from Blizzard, who I remind you, keep telling people that Diablo 3 will be released WHEN IT'S READY. And everybody knows that the game definitely IS NOT READY YET. This game alone is proof that Blizzard is not like what it stands before. So many changes keep happening, even during months before release date can only mean bad, bad, bad! That's when you're supposed to tweak the story a bit, add in stuff, balance it out, and not change the whole damn system.





Well I should've known, but I guess like many people, the fanboy in me is stronger than the logical me. And for those who laughs at the idea that D3 is in fact more like Diablo 2 2.0, consider this: first you fight in a church, then desert/sewer, finally in heaven/hell. in D2. and D3. Of every single farking city in the diablo world, they reuse the same locations with different names. Tell me that's not lazy.

Atleast it had a better ending than Mass Effect 3.

well... despise all the screaming here, i amaze on how many ppl actually play the game :\

this thread should have named "this is spoiler do not open"

i lvl 56 now...also starting to feel bored already. This game is not worth for the amount i paid. It should be much more cheaper. Pity those who bought CE lol.

lol spoilers!

hmm...why?

then u don't feel bored when reaching level 40++ at diablo2 ? if no, care to explain why?

eh that works in interno too?

Scream all you want, it is because the original Diablo 2 team already left Blizzard long ago so there is no continuity here.

*Imagines Diablo2 with Auction House* that would be perfect !

EDIT: Even the maps are not randomized, its FIXED you know exactly where to go for the next objective

it's call 'nit-picking' mang

if blizzard release the game fast, they'll complain there's no quality and blizzard lost the 'touch'
if blizzard release the game late, they'll complain about blizzard is doing thing too slow
if blizzard release the game late with the same class and same skill set, they'll complain about blizzard running out of ideas
if blizzard release the game with different mechanic, they'll say blizzard developed a not-diablo-ish game and use the title for franchise purpose,

The D2 team went and created Hellgate right? That game really pissed me off. I bought the copy and only played for a couple of months before they went bust!

Anyway, I'm pretty happy with Diablo 3, nothing fancy or "wow"..

Basically every single top DPS weapon you see in the AH is a direct result of their exploit. They basically reran the resplendent chest in Blood & Sand that was guaranteed to spawn at the same spot every single time. This let them gear themselves up to the point they could solo Act IV, more notably on their wizard using hydra.

It has since been hotfixed, long before I managed to get into Inferno.

yep. despite a lot of complaints about how the game is dumbed down or boring you can see a lot more people who actually plays discussing builds and strategies and in game stuff in class specific threads and many other threads. these people are actually enjoying their game to even bother adressing to these complainers who mostly still living in the past and some havent even played and just talking based on critics/complaints they read.

so far i am happy with the game.

Actually they do need to fix the itemization. Currently there is no point to legendaries as a blue will outclass it 90% of the time because the only stats you ever need on a weapon are damage, primary stat and IAS.


Legendaries should be special. They don't have to be amazing damage, they just need to do things that other weapons can't. Windforce is a good example, it provides knockback which is a very rare affix. That gives me reason to make a knockback build.

Right now 90% of the legendaries and set equipment are trash. Why should I use Danetta's set when my own yellows have more stat benefit that a set that you may never see.

Itemization is very very dumbed down and I hope they fix it because the game has potential. Combat is quite pleasing, bar the occasional impossible 4 affix elites.

+1!!

Too many /k/fag here whining lol, no matter what u give them, they sure say not enough, u give them 50 virgin together in their D3 box also, they ask why not 1,001 virgins, 50 too little =p

Overall, D3 gameplay did improved a lot compare to D2.

I played from D1->D2->D3.... the 1990s days of gaming.... Haha....


PS: If they add PVP. then you'll see realtime competition =]
