Diablo 3 Review

Repetitive garbage. It's the soggy fast food in a greasy bag compared to the feast of roast meats and exotic fruits that was games like Icewind Dale and Baldur's Gate.
Why do people pay Blizzard to shovel this gaudy shit to them?

Making a statement about people sharing their opinions on a game they haven't played is a broad spectrum statement that suddenly applies to people who have played said game?
It just irks me a little to see people comment on a review, say they haven't played the game, and then be derisive towards it.
I'm not spending $60 on this. Maybe $20 but then again blizzard games never go on sale.
Always online is a dealbreaker. And I would have played it online 90% of the time. If I want to name my SINGLE PLAYER necromancer BUTTSTINK then that is my choice and I shouldn't have to get permission from Blizzard to amuse myself in a immature way.
And I don't want the remote possibility of being banned from a single player game because I said something a mod doesn't like in the forums. You can check my escapsist profile and see how well moderators like me.
Torchlight 2 is already pre-ordered. Grim Dawn will show up eventually and that will be be the true spiritual successor to D2, just like Titan Quest was the best iteration of the genre.
Everything people said is D3 is to D2 just like SC2 is is to SC1. The exact same gameplay, prettier, and requires permission from Blizzard to play a game in single player mode.
No thanks.

I gather reading comprehension isn't your strong point. He didn't complain that the game was 'too easy', he complained that the game forces you to START on a mode that is 'too easy'. Hell and Inferno can be as difficult as they want, but all that does is exacerbate the problem that the difficulty curve doesn't curve properly. If you can breeze through the game on Normal using basically a single attack to destroy most mobs, and then suddenly have to develop whole new strategies in order to survive each fight on Nightmare, that's not good game design. Normal mode should be challenging enough that it builds gradually to the difficulty you will later face: something Diablo II actually did quite well.Excludos said:
Can we really take a word of someone who has a symbol of Bhaal from Baldur's Gate as his avatar?? Blasphemy!

...eh, just kidding. I always found Diablo to be bare-bones RPG-lite, panders to the ADD-growd, all-flash-and-no-substance computer game.
Good to see that after 11 years Blizzard has changed NOTHING.
Well... apart from making it more appealing to noobs.

I gather reading comprehension isn't your strong point(see what I did there? Don't throw rocks in glass houses and all that). The discussion was about whetever diablo 3 was worse in this regard than diablo 2, and it simply isn't. Its the exact same system. Diablo 2 was a lot easier than diablo 3 is on the same difficulty levels. Sure we can argue all day whetever its preferable to be able to choose your difficulty levels right off the bat, or play through it several times, increasing the difficulty on every playthrough.Shamanic Rhythm said:
edit: I'll admit that my post quoted above didn't come through the way I wanted it too, but I honestly can't be arsed to show any kind of respect to someone who starts off their post with "My my, you're an idiot!" or to that effect.
Strawmen everywhere.
Way to miss the point, babes.
Did you really need to spend a wall of text saying, "NO THIS IS WHAT YOU SAID"

My only actual gripe with D3 so far has been friends randomly joining my game. (I did eventually find the option in the menu to prevent this, before people point it out to me 
but until then it was a pain )
6 times out of 10 this resulted in me dying on my wizard due to unfortunate timing with cooldowns just as every enemy gets stronger and my npc templar vanishes and stops tanking dmg.
Other than that, it's exactly what I expected. Probably a bit costly for the level of enjoyment I'm getting from it but I still have yet to properly play multiplayer or start my nightmare run so I cant really judge the game fully yet.

"You can't form an opinion of a game you haven't played" is not a statement I ever made, and the fact that you wrote an entire response to a statement that I never made constitutes a literal fallacy known as a strawman.CriticKitten said:
Get out of here.
You quoted something I said, and then wrote 3 paragraphs in response to something I didn't say.
You understand that putting a sentence that I said before 3 paragraphs of irrelevant drivel doesn't actually mean you're replying to it.
"Don't think you can throw down literacy fallacies that you don't even know the meaning of, and they will suddenly and magically allow people to overlook the fact that your statement is wrong. "
What statement?
That it irks me that people form opinions on games they haven't played?
I wasn't aware you could disprove an opinion of mine.
Anyway, since you seem intent on getting worked up over nothing, I'm gonna be the bigger man and stop responding.
It can be but, at the same time, it's actually still a fairly infrequent thing to see something that's possibly just popular for poplar's sake be taken to task for it's actual flaws. Being popular should not exclude you from criticism, and such criticism is not necessarily just hipster blowback.Denamic said:
The only thing that annoys me is the lag and the oversimplification of the skill tree.
They should have kept it similar to what they had in D2, except more refined, and made it so you had to pay some sort of fee to "unlearn" the skill points" for the new players so they didnt feel trapped if they put the skill point into the wrong thing accidentally.
