An analysis on why Diablo III seemed to disappoint.
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.
Add in the long delay of pvp that was promised to be soon after the game shipped, server issues, and RMAH problems that people have been getting, and its a pretty fun list.
Im burned out of it. I loved D2 literally countless hours on that game, D3 though maybe have 30+ on it. IMO wasnt worth the money on Day one. I enjoyed it dont get me wrong, but its still a great disappointment in my book.
people expected too much, thats why, in all honesty, D3 is still, by far the best game of 2012
excellent co-op, great replayability
sure, many hardcore, grinding nerds that want to play the game for 500 hours may be disappointed, those guys are IMPOSSIBLE to please anyway.
but if you are just a regular gamer, who wants to plat through once or twice with friends and family, this is an awesome game
great graphics, butter smooth performance, excellent voice acting, unmatched cutscenes
9.7/10 for me
loved it!
D3 was a massive failure,D2 was way better
Cant wait for lineage eternal now thats how diablo should be after ALL THESE YEARS of devs.
This is one of the most clueless articles I have ever read. The reason Diablo 3 sucked was because it had shitty writing, a horrid story, bad voice acting, and bad artwork. Add on the the fact that the whole thing was designed around the RMT, and you have a fail sandwich with extra cheese. If you played it long enough to suffer from burnout, good for you, retard. The rest of us actually have standards.
