"First of all, the demo was quite short."
True
"Second,the monsters were quite easy to kill."
True, but the demo takes place at a very low level. Every H&S RPG is like this. Gotta remember...there is 50 levels as well as harder difficulty levels.
"Although the gameplay was reasonably good, it didn't quite give the feeling i got in the Diablo days. It really felt as if not made by the old Blizzard guys. No epic feeling at all. "
Can't argue with you about your "feelings", but I will say maybe nostalgia has something to do with that.
"Perhaps this feeling is due to the fact that there have been quite a number of demon killing games lately,like DOOM, and the concept doesn't feel that fresh anymore. (another hell portal? oh please) ."
I really don't see how Doom is related to this type of game other then both of them having demons...
"But i do hope that the retail product would be quite better, so i am keeping my hopes still held high. "
Good approach. If were not impressed so far, absolutely nothing wrong with taking a step back to see how things improve. I think the game will be great though. The Beta is much better then the demo, and I think FSS will continue to add and to improve thier game.
"17. Doesn't change the most important aspect of any rpg (gameplay & story)"
Story is not the most important aspect of a game like this. You think people played Diablo II for years for it's story? Sorry dude, wrong on this point. Most important aspect of a Action-RPG is:
a) Good skills and character customization
b) Large assortment items (random and unique)
c) Good gameplay and satisfying monster killing
A good story is deffinetly a plus, but not essential. Not to mention, how can you judge the story of a game demothat doesn't even start to touch the main story line? Not to mention it's missing all the cut scenes.

I wonder if two paragraphs of story at the end of each episode in Doom 1 was enough "story" for him.
Lemme also mention that after playing Just Cause .. even through the story was for crap, the game itself is pretty fun..
Games are more to have fun.. if you didn't have fun playing the game.. then move on, you don't need to make yet another thread about it... For you, you save money and time with one less game to worry about "finishing".
