The truth about Diablo 3's mediocrity.

I never had faith in D3 when it was announced as a 2D game(now in 2012, are you serious?) loved D1 and D2, but now games from their competitors has set the bar too high. Blizzard however, never seem to wake up from their fantasy land. I no longer care for any blizzard titles.... ever since they vastly disappointed me in SC2, I know they are incapable of accepting new concepts and making changes

You made the same thread this morning

Are you trying to troll...?

I agree with Viper and Gamefan. Blizzard is afraid of change, and that is really disappointing.SKaREO

Okayyyyyy...I guess.... but u still didn't answer my question.

For example SC2. I've never been a big fan of RTS, I don't really like them. The only RTS I have liked were Warcraft, Starcraft and Dawn of War.

When SC2 came out, I started playing and immediately had fun cause it was just like SC1 with better graphics, new units, story etc etc.

You say Blizzard doesn't like change. The change from Warcraft 2 to 3 was pretty big. Then they took on the MMO scene.

[QUOTE="SKaREO"][QUOTE="FelipeInside"] Maybe, but let me play Devil's Advocate for a second here: Why change something when it's not broken and works really good?FelipeInside

You guys make me laugh..Dont you realize its the starting city..Its not suppose to be hard at all...So give me a break on all these comments..Starting cities always start off slow..Why not wait for the next chapter...Wait tll u get out in the lands an see the world..After that you can comment i can care less..Just wait and see what the other lvls have to offer..

Coming from the guy who said this:

So far, I have only played the demo of each, and Dungeon Siege 3 is the better game.Viper5121

Tell me a game that has aged better than Diablo.

It feels like Diablo2, I am a happy camper.

The diversity of opinions is fascinating.

The problem with Diablo 3 is it's to sophisticated for a lot of people, you can't have adhd and play Diablo it just don't mix.Travis_Odell

Those games have not aged well at all. Aside from their story, everything about them blows. The D&D 2nd Edition system is so incredibly cumbersome and bulky, especially when translated to a video game, that it kills alot of enjoyment.

Dungeon Siege 3 is terrible. I bought it at a heavy discount, and I regret it.

If you want innovative takes on the Diablo formula, check out Sacred and Din's Curse. Neither have the production values of a blizzard game, but both are pretty good. Din's Curse in particular does some cool things with the sandbox element.

:P

I didn't like it because I found the game bland. The graphics, attacks, pretty much everything felt generic, which bored me. That's my opinion, at any rateEssian

I either hated or got bored of every hack and slask / action dungeon crawler I ever tried, including Dungeon Siege 2, Diablo 2, Titan Quest, and more.

Played Diablo 3 beta and got insta-hooked. Played it absolutely non-stop through the weekend.

Awesome combat? Hell yeah. Deep story? No idea and I don't care.

[QUOTE="Elann2008"]"The main problem with Diablo 3 is that the combat is incredibly shallow. There is really almost nothing to it. It was good back in the year 2000, but is simply not up to today's standards." Same could be said about almost any game of any genre.

Torchlight 2

Dead State

Grim Dawn

Path of Exile

Dark Souls, saying hi to you

yea the game is bad, don't believe the hype people because the game is **** and that is that. on another note if you really like this genre (I prefer a real rpg where I can manually move and look where ever I want) then look into Path of Exile it will be free to play http://www.pathofexile.com/ igsmither

Define "fantasy land"...

You mean the land where Blizzard controls the gold-standard title in THREE separate genres?

That "fantasy land" would be called "Earth".

I think that is the most logical post I have read on these forums.
