Diablo 3
i guess i can start giving my own opinion about this game and what rating i should give. the game was fun and i did spend allot of my time into it. the online was fun the gameplay was fun but its not perfect.
one of the thing missing in this game is the offline or singleplayer only. in order to play the game you have to log-in the server and if the server is down then i guess you better find other things to do. im going to compare diablo 3 to diablo 2 because i thought diablo 3 is going to be just like diablo 2, which is a very very fun game. like i said, diablo 3 does not have "offline" mode and no more LAN. now that i mention that the game is only online that means if blizzard is doing some patching or maintenance you cannot go and play singleplayer. speaking of patching, blizzard did patch the game to fix some errors and nerf some characters. i do feel the pain of other players out there that their best character is becoming weak but i do understand where the patch is going....it looks like blizzard is patching certain skills because they are over powered....meaning once player vs player is out, the game wont be as fun as what blizzard think it would be. with all these patches and error, the game feels like its in beta....the auction house is usually offline and i do feel they couldve made the auction house better. the way i see it, they could've add more slots in the auction because you can only sell 10 items. another thing i would like to see is my own timer....because i dont want to wait for 2days when i know i mess up my pricing and that the item will just sit there that i couldve sell another item. the real money auction is still in progress and they said it should be online by june but they keep pushing it so i guess it will take some time. im not really sure what the problem...maybe its the security of the auction house? since it will be using real money, people can probably hack it or something. comparing it back to diablo 2, i do miss the skill tree. thats one thing i was looking forward to is to customize and make my own build but instead they give us all the ability as we level up.
the story of this game is....meh. its not that bad in my opinion, i just think the Leah is annoying. the story did felt short. i think i beat normal with my witch doctor in 12hours i believe...and thats a blind run, i dont know what kind of adventure was waiting for me and i did explore allot. then i made other characters, rush through cut scenes and know all the general direction of quest, i beat the game in about 8 hours.....i believe i was using the wizard and do have equipment from my witch doctors intelligence equips.
what i do like about this game are loots....isnt that what diablo is all about anyways? the online interaction is fun and how you can jump in and out of your friends game. it gets annoying when your friends just go in and ruins the game for you because they are higher level than you but you can turn off that feature and just make the game singleplayer but it is fun having the same level friends and going through the dungeon together.
overall...the game is fun but they couldve made it better....way better. it is a good experience considering that inferno difficulty is giving me so much rage. but playing this to find a good loot to sell or to use is quite fun. im pretty much farming for equipment because i so want to finish inferno....after inferno what else can i do? there's still other characters to play and there is hardcore difficulty plus i havent tried inferno ponies.
i do want to see what else change in this game in the future. wonder if people will play this game for a long time. plus i do want to see what kind of expansion they're going to add if there is one. fun game but feels like they could've made it way better than what is it now. i think this game deserves an 7.5/10.....its fun but do get boring when you keep doing the same thing over and over and over! specially in inferno difficulty.expect to die allot and have your respawn time up to 30 seconds. i rage enough that i just log out and hopefully there are no annoying elites or champs with vortex, invincible minions or reflect damage. but to me it feels like inferno is what the game is....maybe if they didnt nerf characters i wont have to rage much but what can we do....just need to adapt to changes.
