Being a PC gamer, I guess I fell victim to hype surrounding Diablo III, as I bought the game last Wednesday and spent a few hours with it last night. Actually, I KNOW I fell to the hype, because normally I wouldn't buy a game like this. I only played Diablo II once, however many years ago, and I'm not exactly the biggest Blizzard fan either.
However, I am enjoying Diablo III. I don't think it's groundbreaking in anyway, but it's way more addicitve than it looks. And I do mean it. The game is FUN! I half-expected myself to be questioning why so many people play Diablo upon playing, but of course, now I am a Diablo player!
On a side note, I payed 35 pounds, which is basically the maximum asking price for just about every brand-new PC game bar COD in the UK. I wouldn't pay any more than that. But presumably due to crazy sales, the game is going for ridiculous prices of over 50 pounds on sites like eBay and Amazon!
