So why did Gamespot Review Diablo 3 without actually beating it on Inferno?

you didn't beat the game

you didn't see all the content why are you reviewing it?

an 8.5 are u kidding me u haven't played the whole game yet what a joke?

seriously its like oh im gonna rate this game but i don't even have to play any of it this site makes me sick

Would that have altered the score any?

Why would it alter the score?

I'm assuming you have also completed Inferno, and can thus give us a recounting of what would alter the score.

Yup dosen't deserve the 8.5 does it, sickening how many sites inflate scores for big name game isn't it.

It's a flop deal with it.

The stupidity System Wars brings.

Go j*ck off, you'll feel better.tagyhag

Oh noez, it didn't get the review I wanted it to, how ever will I live to the next day? Go j*ck off, you'll feel better.tagyhag

ask them

They play games on normal because, I think they assume thats the intended experience.

Although I don't know if this is a good idea. I thought Halo 3 was a blast on Heroic for example, more so than on normal.

Reviewers rarely dig into the content of a game and it almost always shows. The guy reviewing Diablo 3 probably just treated it like a chore. Just do the bare minimum, write down an opinion, put a number next to it and call it a day.

The concept of "professional" game reviews is inherently flawed for so many reasons. This just happens to be one of them.

My advice? Simple. Stop giving a f*ck. Its only going to keep on happening anyways.

This is true to pretty much every game... I think review never even beat a game twice before reviewing it.

maybe because after 12 or so years, all that we got was a game that was just ok. Nothing to justify the very long development. If this had been a game from another lesser known company, the review score would have been much lower.

As it is, diablo 3 is just an ok game, nothing about it screams "must play", no innovation, nothing.

I miss the days when real gamers reviewed games which meant they played and finished the game on the hardest setting and then made a review from it. Of course, those were also the days when a game review was based on the average score by multiple reviewers.

Oh god, I see some of you guys are pulling out the sequel gap issue. This is another aspect of "professional" reviews that bugs the hell out of me.

Judge the product for what it is, not for how long you waited for it.

A reviewer knocking a game for how long it was in development, or how long ago the last entry was, is really no better than some giddy reviewer showering a game because the reviewer in question got caught up in the hype.

I swear, sometimes it seems reviewing games is the only professional job that requires zero professionalism. Just go out there, make an ass of yourself and be a big kid about your job! Never admit when you're wrong, be clearly biased and most importantly make factually wrong assertions to showcase that you didn't even take the time to do your job properly.

Diablo 3 is a miserable disappointment. It should've scored a 7 or below, it's awful and the only reason it's getting high scores is because it's a Blizzard game.

Would that have altered the score any?

No. The state of the launch and the constant server problems prevent this game from getting a 9.0.

YES, gotta hate on what's popular!

Reviewers that critique games without actually experiencing all of its features aren't very reliable.meetroid8

That's quite impossible for most professional journalists who are on a time table. Especially when the game's launch had as much downtime as uptime.

Read the new ToU, this is System Wars.

Any dumbass who says Diablo 3 deserves the high scores it's getting doesn't know what hell he's talking about, mods included. The game sucks...

The only thing that playing through it again on a harder difficulty would have revealed is just how tedious and clicky diablo 3 is.

Which I would agree with. Though, I did buy the game a couple of days after release.

Shut it, retard.

By the way, that word is still moddable under the new ToU... Well done.
