Long dev cycles and years of ever increasing hype usually means bad news for most games. It hurt Alan Wake, and it pretty much spelled doom for Too Human and Duke Nukem Forever. If developers take too long then gamers begin to let their imaginations run wild and their expectations sore to unnattainable heights.
One game however, emerged from the darkness. One game, arose from the impervious mists. One game, straddled the evangelical horse and like a divine god rode into our hearts and souls. That game... is Diablo 3. It lived up to it's amazing predecessors and broke on through the barriers of impossible. It's the only game to achieve this with such effortless pose.
My hat is off to Blizzard. Can you think of any other games besides the godly D3 that have lived up to such immense expectations? I can't.
