The first video did look awesome, comparison to the ebay simulator that i have now. There are even purple items too.

I understand that in game development, things changes all the time but what we have now, its just a former shadow of what Diablo was.

Where are the armies of enemies to bash over? The atmospheric soundtrack that the demo has, replaced with a really terrible soundtrack in the final game. Elemental damage that actually make sense, instead of just a flashy dead corpse. Original siegebreaker was so much cooler than the rubbish that we have now, other than the ridiculous one hit kill attack. Love the spawning of armies of skeletons at the end of the demo.

Now, all we get is just low item drops, really silly conversations in the game, large armies to bash over replaced with Elite that is just no fun to fight, unless you have good gear. Boss fights are still quite good, maybe not as good as the original siegebreaker, but it is still fun. I dont remember that Diablo 1 or 2 had Elite packs that just ruin the gameplay for me.

I guess i was just overhyping the game before the game release.

No thanks, not interested with hardcore.

Still the same shitty writing, gameplay, item drop rate except once you die, you die.

As i said, no hardcore for me.

It is still essentially the same crappy game. Things i hate will not go away because i play hardcore.

Is the drop rate better there?
Is terrible forced narration still there?
Is the badly designed Elite packs still present?

Adding on the fact that internet is not always great, thanks to people pp-streaming all the time, which will make me die to lag a lot more often than my own stupidity like chasing goblins. I had enough of the lag due to ppstream in softcore, no way i want to make an even larger risk with hardcore.

Even i purposely build all 5 classes to be more tanky than usual, like DH with more Vit and armor items, lag will kill me in hardcore eventually.

As i said, no hardcore for me.

It is still essentially the same crappy game. Things i hate will not go away because i play hardcore.

It is because D3 is a heavily flawed game, there are some aspects are good, but some aspects are just terrible. I still play from time to time, so, am i eligible to post here?

It is incredibly repetitive, and i dont see anyone could deny about that because it is the nature of ARPG games. It just because there arent enough sugar coating to make the grind more enjoyable. Maybe an infinite dungeon from Torchlight or Disgeae would make things better since the technology is already there.

People complain because they want the game to improve. The reason is as simple as that. If they hate the game, they wont even post on the forums and a lot of these posts are legitimate concerns. In my opinion, it will be the end of gaming if people stop being concern about games because developers could not get some of the much required feedback to improve it. Not all the feedback are good, to begin with, but some of them actually improves the game.

If you hate this kind of thread so much, why dont you post on these threads then? Let the haters be with the haters, the fans be with the fans. Rather than coming and ask people to stop playing a game because they are posting a concern. I doubt TS is being sarcastic or trying to stir trouble here.

To be honest, i have enjoyed the game to a certain aspect but the game has a few flaws that annoy me a lot.

Are you asking me to change games because i always criticise about the game? I have my freewill to choose whatever i want to play.

I enjoyed it to a certain aspect of the game, its not like its a pile of poo.

At this juncture, I would like to step in after an interesting read to remind everyone that the Lowyat Diablo forums remain a very public forum.

Anything touching D3 has it's place here despite whether I personally agree with it or disagree. Everyone is entitled to post an opinion or give a response. Let's leave forum policing to the Mods shall we?

Well Bee, I thought it's fine for TS to post his grief and it's totally ok for you to be entitled to your opinons. Just wanted to pull everyone back into perspective before another forum flamewar starts.

Game developers can be 'forced' to rethink their position, to do better and make the game better for all their fans. Take for example, Mass Effect 3.

Mass Effect 3 had very unsatisfactory endings. If you watch this video below, you will notice that ending had lots of glaring plotholes and made no sense overall. In fact, despite fan outcry, Bioware still refused to do anything about the endings.

You've been to Ponyland a.k.a. Whimsyshire? That is called colorful.

so can we stop having these threads popping up almost seemingly every f***ing day?

its like blizz reads LYN man...
