Could have been something good. However it became an unique example of what happens when everything that can go wrong, goes wrong.

@TJDMHEM: Phantom Doctrine is also good if you like Xcom-like strategy games.

@thedarklinglord: To each it's own, but being fair, those 3 are already a good deal for that price.

No offense, but this was made public 13 days ago. Bit late with this one, man.

No, thanks, this year I'm not buying a ton of games that will take me half of the year to play.

Oh crap...

Well, somebody did his/herjob well. This is far better.

@robbie23: My guess is that people were expecting a game similar in mechanics to MGS. Enjoying it too here, mainly because i was looking for something different to play, but even so it's not for everyone.

Liking it so far with 10 hours in. But this one is almost a "not applicable" when it comes to recommend it to others. it's divisive AF. I may have to recommend my friends to first borrow it from somebody.

@shadowwarrior4: Baldur's Gate, Vampire Bloodlines, Elder Scrolls, The old Fallout games, to name a few . We could also count jRPGs, even though they do their own thing.

Diablo is more an action game with RPG elements, not a RPG by itself. Even though they are not the same, you can see a similar use to different degree in Borderlands or The Division, for example, and those could not ever be called RPGs.

Cheers. Thanks for the answers everyone.

I don't get why people keep calling Diablo an RPG.
