If you're a hardcore Diablo fans, then go for it; after all it's a "buy once, play for life" kinda of game.

However, do bear in mind that D3 is a whole different game if compared to D2. So if you like to grind and try seasonal mode, then join D3 biggrin.gif

If not, then better don't.. haha

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

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
*
If you wait for the price to drop, you might miss the start of Season 7 (start Aug 05). haha.
Seasonal mode is where all the fun lies smile.gif

it's a super boring game if you don't have friends to play it together.

playing with those stranger will make you feel like playing with AI bot, I didn't mean they are noob or anything, just you really will feel boring after you play the game like 1 month.
*
It depends bro; to me, Solo / Team doesn't matters.

Solo = can mess around with different builds
Team = speed rifts / push GR for gem upgrades

There are community groups, they ain't that bad, a lot of pros actually.
D3 has been around for 4 years now, and most of the players that still play D3 are in fact veterans (like me devil.gif )

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

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)

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  )
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.

Most ARPG games these day need to go online always. No choice lor, msia punya internet macam kura-kura...

Anyway, good luck to you lah, if you buy already then you can look for me to party in D3.

P.S. You can switch between AUS/NZ server and US server in "Americas Region"

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.
*
Yeah, D3 RoS is way better than the original D3.

I wish they will improve it further.

I tested with the free trial. First run with easy was ok, second run with with medium difficulty, more fun  rclxms.gif
They should release another expansion/DLC, so people will start playing Diablo III again.
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 prefer Diablo to stay as Diablo-type RPG
MMORPG = WoW already sad.gif

as a D3 player, I'll say not bad.

even until today still got new season, new cosmetic and new updated every now and then.

for me I think it's worth my money.
*
Yeah, definitely worth the money (i bought CE for RoS) but it can be better; too much crappy items in D3 now.

Well can't complain too much now.

Ahhh those days before the patch. biggrin.gif Iron Skin + Reflective



From my experience in playing D3 - each game is just running through from start to end of a challenge hoping for new drops.

If you like more challenge, go play HC mode or play Season.
*
HC can't bro. I died many times in HC due to lag leh.... very disheartening one...
