Should I buy Diablo III ? Worth buying now after 3 years ( or 2 years after expansion ) ?
From Blizzard website, it's 39.99USD with expansion, I heard there's Winter sales but are there Summer sales tongue.gif ?

Recently finish The Division, and already really bored with TorchLight 2 ( classic Diablo style RPG )

Not worth the money at all. Never ever buy a Blizzard game again.

Hahaha, I'm going to use the TRY from website and see how. Maybe borrow account/key from my friend who used to play.

Isnt most-if-not-all RPG like that biggrin.gif That's why many like MMO, but I just cant like it, leveling slow and no story in MMO.

After the story it was even more boring than mmo. leveling too easy and not much meaning on it after lvl 70.

There are much better games on the PC....

Child of Light, Valkryie Chronicles, FFX/X2 HD Remaster

I recommend these.

Child of Light looks awesome, but I will play on mobile phone.

Valkyria Chronicles, looks nice but not sure like the gameplay smile.gif

FFX/X2 HD Remaster drool.gif drool.gif drool.gif I watched the movie last time ( didnt play last time ), thanks for recommendation drool.gif

Most LYN D3 players are still active; mostly on FB/Whatsapp/Teamspeak group.

"Should I buy Diablo 3?"
If you like to grind; yes. Diablo 3 nowadays is a wholesomely a better game compared to Diablo 3 vanilla days. Now you actually have to play the game to gear yourself (no more AH/RMAH).

If you're worried about going through the "terrible" campaign mode, just hop on powerleveling communities for help. The real game only starts when you reach level 70 (current max level)

From 70, you can start farming for your best-in-slot gears, aim for higher greater rifts in teamplay or solo to see how far you can push yourself into the region ranking.

There are actually tons of unique build for each characters; and then there's seasonal mode(which makes the game has a good replay value).

...and Blizzard are still updating massive content for this game.

Thanks for feedback.

Just saw this Seasonal mode thing, interesting tactic to lure fans keep playing Diablo III tongue.gif

As I decided to get FF X/X-2, but will wait Steam summer sale 2-3 weeks later to see if got price drop.
Will try on Diablo III, after all I'm more of Diablo-style RPG fans than those Skyrim/Witcher type. Bought Skyrim legendary edition few months back, install bunch of mods to enhance graphic etc, then play few hours and drop it whistling.gif

For $20, it's worth it. Not worth $40 I think as it's a bit shallow. I bought mine from CDkeys last July for $22 or so (as far I know they're legit, haven't seen anybody saying otherwise). If you wanna buy from there, just watch until the price drop to ~$11 for each game. Right now they're $30 for both games.

That said I've probably spent north of 1000 hours in this game so maybe it's worth $40 after all tongue.gif Just saying that there are cheaper options.

Thanks for feedback.

I played the demo/trial downloaded from Blizzard website, I think it's good game, now just need to trigger my finger biggrin.gif

D3 is indeed very good game, but IMO it's only for hardcore to buy after long time.

QUOTE(ThisIsJimmy @ Jul 26 2016, 11:36 AM)
Agreed.

D3 is really meant for hardcore diablo fan (if you aren't, you will get bored very easily)  laugh.gif
*
I played the beta/testing sometime ago, quite like it but not sure if love it.
Most likely I will wait price drop only get it. Not hardcore gamer anymore so dont have time to invest too much into it. Even NFS series that I normally play 2-3 times, the latest one played few hours then not continue sweat.gif

I did get bored within 1 cycle story. Repetitive goal, end up boring.
If it's really cheap, might be good for collection.

If cheap just buy lo, got many cheap cheap games I bought for phone, and some in Steam. Only game I regret bought is Crashland ( and I'm stupid enough to bought Steam version as well doh.gif )

QUOTE(ThisIsJimmy @ Jul 26 2016, 03:22 PM)
HAHAHA, like i said, D3 is mainly for hardcore fans now (i do admit Blizzard screwed up big time for D3, yet so, it's kinda fun to kill some time with it)
*
I wanted to get it during launch, then this always online thing kill off my passion. During the free trial, got a few lag session and it does annoy me a bit.

The original Diablo III sucks so bad. However with RoS and whatever changes now it is so much better.

I just couldn't continue playing it because build really depends on drops and drops are random.

Have a nice set now? biggrin.gif Good, next patch it might be gone. Last time I can GR38 solo but now I can't even GR25 properly.

There's a lot of playability (if you don't mind making many characters) and experiment with builds (the mean time between 2 good drops can be up to months! or in some case just days apart, so random).

The thing about D3 is that either you steam roll the enemy or you can't pass. In reality no one actually plays it tough or at middle point, people just prefer to steam roll because you get to do more rifts or whatever per hour and that maximizes your drop possibility.
*
I tested with the free trial. First run with easy was ok, second run with with medium difficulty, more fun rclxms.gif

QUOTE(ThisIsJimmy @ Jul 26 2016, 11:54 PM)
Yeah, D3 RoS is way better than the original D3.

I wish they will improve it further.
*
They should release another expansion/DLC, so people will start playing Diablo III again.

from a player wth 1.5k++ hours: don start unless ure a diablo person
summarize from upstairs is already rougly all about the game
*
I like Diablo style or top-down view RPG like Titan Quest. Not fans of those Skyrim/DragonAge, good graphic and action, but much lesser spawn and sometime boring traveling. I really hate conversation/dialog and those choose-your-action-carefully-as-it-affect-later-event story. Like goldfries said, I just want to steamroll spawns and have fun biggrin.gif

As a diablo fan, i really wish they release a new expansion with new contents but too bad blizzard has relocated alot of its manpower and resources for other games (like Overwatch, WoW, Hearthstone).

It makes business sense though.. those games are the one that is making more money for Blizzard.
Besides, alot of Diablo developers and key persons have left Blizzard; so the progression of new content for Diablo  is kinda slow and dead now.
*
Didnt know about that last part, so sad.

Not sure if good idea, but MMORPG Diablo biggrin.gif sounds good ?

I am also thinking want to buy or not...I think the basic version is 19.99 USD or 90 MYR. How's the story?

Better yet, the bundle version are cheaper now, 30USD. Hand a bit itchy as Blizzard ready to celebrate Diablo's 20th anniversary.

Played on the ps4 halfway. It does get repetitive.. Loot new item with higher stats & fighting stronger boss. I start of with hard difficulty I think, I'm always playing with my brother so things are not difficult & haven't die once. Boss is consider too easy once you've unlocked most of the skills.

I think Torchlight 2 have better boss system since every dungeon will have a challenging enough boss that made me die & want to grind more.

D3 currently is too easy until I get to unlock more difficulties
*
If Diablo 3 doesnt require Internet connection all the time, it's no brainer buy for me. That's why after years I still hesitate.
Last Steam sales I bought Grim Dawn. It's really good Diablo-ish game, just a bit too complicate ( good and bad biggrin.gif ) but can custom unique build.
I really like TorchLight 2 ( cannon everything tongue.gif ), just that after play for 2-3 build, start getting boring because system too simplify.
