Diablo 3 was probably one of the biggest PC launches out there. The 12 year gap attracted so much anticipation and angst from gamers all over, even the ones who didn't plan on purchasing it. The game had a really successful launch and was sold to millions all across the globe. Of course, like any major title, there were a few hiccups.
Who says a dud game can't have a video game comeback?
Cyberpunk and No Man's Sky have to be up there. We're lucky and cursed, equally, to have games that can be updated now. For folks old enough to remember the Sega/SNES into PS1 and even 2 eras, if a game came out that was half baked (*cough*Angel of Darkness*cough*) that was it, no redemption. At the same time, having the option for updates shouldn't be an excuse for half assing games.
Diablo III still works on modern PlayStation and Xbox consoles, and remains hugely playable a decade after initial release.
Are you comparing a continuously improved 10+ years old masterpiece with the... beta of an unreleased game?
Diablo III: Season 28 brings with it the Altar of Rites, an altar full of unlockable bonuses and potions that will require the gathering of tons of resources. One of things needed is the Staff of Herding, which also unlocks the famous Cow Level known as Whimsyshire. Here's how to craft that staff, for those that either have forgotten, or have never completed it.
You can always run act 3 over and over and over again for shit loot.
The D3 need a expansion with all the good things from D2.
There is so much competition in that genre now and competition that is significantly cheaper. By not going out of their way to provide a superior product, the comparisons to cheaper alternatives will kill Diablo3.
Torchlight 2 is better in any way. Of course, the Legendary weapon drop rate in Torchlight 2 is far worst, but the legendary weapons in that game are actually legendary. Diablo 3 legendaries are easily outclassed by rares.
Dark Souls and Demon's Souls has my PvP urges covered thank you very much.
