    The expansion is far better than original D3, but it still lacks PvP and more rewards for challenges. I hope Blizzard will add them soon.
    The new content makes it worth playing.

    Starting with the bad... The reason I give it a 9 instead of a 10 is the story and voice acting. The voice acting is either good, or it's awful. I've enjoyed the voice acting for the wizard a lot. It fits the character and protagonist role excellently. Deckard Cain, Leah, most of the demons/angels... far too cheesy for my tastes. I feel that the Diablo lore is actually quite good, as well as the core of the story. However, it's execution (pacing, dialogue, character development) that falls flat. I did enjoy hearing my follower talk every once in a while. The story could have used more wit and subtleties. And there is too much dialogue that repeats the same ideas, becoming tiresome. Many times I was able to predict the story far in advance simply because of the voice acting and dialogue (and I hate that). It seems to have been written at a 6th grade reading level (though this is understandable).

    That said, the gameplay is absolutely superb. Again, having not played Diablo 2 I cannot comment on the differences, but I feel like the difficulty is just perfect on Expert, which is the only difficulty I've played. There are many times where I've had to use quite a bit of strategy to defeat certain elites. At other times it is mindless hack-n-slash fun, and that dichotomy is what I find so endearing. I may be surrounded by hordes of monsters and one mouse click destroys them all, yet immediately preceding this I could be wiped out by a teleporting arcane orb slinging elite, and the fact that you can never be sure when they will show up requires you to be prepared, and even then you may have to use some strategy or you will die. But overall it is not a strategy game, and it was never meant to be.

    Weapons, armor, and skills can drastically change the play of the game. It's really fun to see what combinations/builds you can come up with that are most effective. This in itself, is a large part of the game. I can see how you could either hate this or love it, but I love it.

    The music throughout is good, but I have to say that the music in Act V is the best I've heard so far. So no complaints here. The sound effects are also very well done.

    The backgrounds and art style of the game is beautiful, yet I wish there were more pronounced effects, such as hard rains, and whooshing winds, trash blowing through streets, lights flickering, etc.

    So that's my 2 cents. I've had fun and I feel that I have gotten my money's worth. And this is from only playing as the wizard class, and I have yet to play with RoS only features like Adventure Mode and Rifts. What can I say, I suppose I'm easy to please compared to many other reviewers on here.    … Expand

    I guess haters are gonna keep on hating... It's a great expansion though. The Fifth act was awesome and pretty long, just like I had hoped for. The New Abillites are nice and the Crusader is pretty cool. And the changes to the loot system are very much a welcome addition to the game :-)
    Honestly there's not anything negative to say about this expansion, unless you're a hater.

    I love playing Diablo 3 with my friends. This expansion makes Diablo 3 so much more fun. I like the more darker look of this "expansion". Notice how used quotation marks on the word expansion. It's should not be called a expansion. More like "Extra Act with a new class". But I'm still happy something came!

Adventure mode throws those plot barriers out the window and gives the player the freedom to bounce around Diablo 3's world at will to accomplish an array of tasks. You can complete the tasks or just go where you like. There's also this new thing called "nephalem rifts". When a boss drops a "rift key" you can use it to go to a randomly generated, never ending dungeon! It's awesome! All these people saying that Reaper of Souls is just a patch haven't played it enough.

    A great ARPG which has fixed the flaws present in the original D3 release and to an extent, ones in D2. The only reason I did not give it a 10 was because of always online, average music and bah plot. Compared to Torchlights, other Diablo games, Path of Exile and few others, D3 is realistically the strongest.

Some gamers have no sense of responsibility and just want to rag on a decent game because of one or two mistakes. Disgusting. In this day and age people listen to those reviews and act accordingly. Why bother posting an inaccurate review?

    This game as it stands today is highly addicting, fast-paced, loot-gathering fun. The only thing I missed was not being able to assign attribute points, but I understand the reasoning behind taking it away. Thank god finally everyone gets their own loot drops! That was my major gripe about Diablo 2.

I have well over 150 paid other games throughout origin, steam, and battle.net and I keep finding myself coming back to Diablo III. The new season ranked ladder aspect is fun, granted its not something i'm super interested in. One thing i like about seasonal is that its a fresh start. you've gotta train up your jewelcrafter, blacksmith and enchanter again, find all new gear etc. There is also seasonal only gear that you can only get if you start a new seasonal character. What this means is that every new season new gear will be introduced, so always fresh content. Cant wait to see what blizzard does with this title in the future.

Better combat dynamics, less one shot deaths, plot that doesn't make you cringe, new environs are amazing.

    But the game is about loot, and they finally seem to be getting the hang of it.

    Game is less about stacking trifecta now and more about combing key pieces in interesting ways, (and various new affixes) which in some ways circumvents the loot wall, since finding a piece leads to you completely changing your gear around it, which means you need to find pieces to support that. It can get pretty complex when you find yourself weighing the benefits of multiple pieces of gear. If only I could wear 26 pieces! My favorite item I've found are some bracers that restore my resource every time I pick up a health globe. Kind of game breaking, but in a good way.

    If you played the original, hated Inferno, hated the drop rates, and hated how dull the items were, it's probably worth checking out. I think you'll enjoy yourself. If your stance is "Blizzard North Skill pointz 8 player games" then still probably not for you.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. [Condensed]

    Reaper of Souls isn’t the only reason that this expansion is pulled off as well- no, the rest of the success can easily be attributed to the changes in the loot system, paragons, and general refinement of class and ability skillsets. The best thing about the additional insight added by the paragon system is that even if you’ve met the cap for leveling with certain characters they can still evolve beyond that, similar almost to Skyrim’s legendary skills and perks system which resets things and adjusts them with the points you’ve earned as you wish. This does also really help as far as spotting legendary items and other rarities go- whereas you’d barely ever encounter them in the original game, in the expansion you’re more “lucky” and able to completely avoid former auction house woes and quick, impulsive cash-ins as well. Thank goodness for that.

    Several other core elements of the gameplay have been changed or redone as well. Crafting and cooking up special recipes- legendary or otherwise, have really been revamped as well. All in all, Reaper of Souls is the expansion we all didn’t know that we wanted, or needed, to get the game back and kicking again. Now, once everything is out on consoles, we’ll have a chance to see how it transcribes to there.

    Concept: New gameplay modes, new battles, and new, new ways to enjoy yourself in a demon and monster slaying romp through Hell and it’s outer corridors.

    Graphics: The overall looks remain the same but most areas looks fresh and even the recycled ones aren’t too much of a killer thing to look at.

    Sounds: All of the best, interesting soundwork from the core game makes a return here- whether you’re banging monstrous heads together or picking up a plethora of gold and loot lying around. It sounds good. It feels good. It is good.

    Playability: The controls are fairly easy to grasp and the menus easy to glean information from in order to scatter attribute points and assign upgrades as necessary.

    Entertainment: Oh yeah- it’s more good stuff. Enjoy it. Embrace it.

    Replay Value: High.

After a dissappointing initial launch the series became crippled with poor reception due to a game that was perceived as being fundamentally broken, and in many cases this was a fair criticism.

    The AH is now gone, and with this most gear has become bound to your character, only tradeable between party members, but at the same time, we've seen a huge re-vamp of how a player finds rewards. Simply put, finding your own gear finally works now, getting back to the essence of the genre.

    The Mystic adds some much needed wiggle room to play with unwanted stats, gems have been upgraded, and the Blacksmith abounds with new patterns, many of them legendary, for players to try their hand at crafting.

    The new Crusader class fills the void of a mid-range caster/battlemage archetype based around the traditional "Holy Warrior" trope. Personality wise the Crusader falls short, but fans of the overall archetype will probably enjoy playing one. It's a solid class, no doubts.

    Other classes have received a new skill, complete with new runes for it, and an extra passive slot along with new passives. Not bad, especially those skills belonging to the Demon Hunter and Wizard. The classic classes have also been tweaked numbers wise in many ways. Your mileage may vary.

    The Paragon system has been re-worked to a fantastic effect and is now account wide, allowing the player to allocate special points as they level up to certain stats like Movement Speed, Crit Chance, Attack Speed, Armor, etc. It's very cool, especially once you rack up enough Paragon levels to see significant results from your stat choices.

    Act V is the best act in the game without a doubt. It's still not high literature or anything, but it's a cut above the rest, and you can see that they took a lot of time and effort to create it. It's very cool and immersive. They held nothing back for it. Lore nerds celebrate, there are many tomes to be listened to!

    The Adventure Mode with the Bounties and Nephalem Rifts is fantastic and finally makes farming something players can do freely without being tethered to a story. Want to clear Keeps then port to Act 1 to clear Hollow? No problem. Want to do some mini-quests along the way? No problem. Want to open some Neph Rifts and just kill hordes of monsters in a huge dungeon, culminating in a boss like the Butcher, Cydaea, or Rakanoth? No problem. With the addition of the clans and communities feature, finding friends to do these things with has never been easier as well.

    Overall the expansion is solid, thought not revolutionary. What is most important is that Reaper fixes the core game, and sets it back on track. With ladders in the future, and whispers of a potential 3rd expansion, I think it's safe to say that Diablo 3 is well on its way to recovery and a re-gaining of respect.

    Definitely pick up Reaper of Souls if grinding your face off against hordes of demons sounds like your thing. It's worth the money.    … Expand

True it is that what you get is one new Act, 10 more levels and one new character (Loot 2.0 is not a Reaper of Souls addition) but there is nothing to fault in what is provided. It is an exceptionally good add-on. You cannot fault it. Well worth it.

On PS4 version only story is same and with that not too good. Everything else is perfect in this game. Controls are made best possible, gameplay smooth, running without FPS problems.

Now I revisited the game after years also thanks to my friends. And I have to say that the franchise turned to a perfect state for me. I replayed the story line. I played the game with 3 friends of mine as of Season 8. I may have clocked around 30-40 hours and I have to say that it was a pleasent ride. A summary:

    1) Gameplay: Excellent. The game is smooth. I can perform my combo and move around the map almost unihindered. The adjustable difficulty and related rewards make me push me to the limit - but still within the Diablo gameplay. Which means you are the demigod meant to crush the enemies - and die occasionally if you let your wards down.

    2) Multiplayer content: Excellent. We have leaderboards that are based on the season which has 3 months duration. If you want to perfect the build and spend hundreds of hours it is there. But you can also just come over once every three months to make the journey again, have maybe 20 hours of fun with new hero and new set and that is it.

    3) PC feel: Excellent. Now this is a pet peeve of mine. But the Diablo controls are really meant for the PC gaming. Lately with so many botched console spinoffs this really entered my list of to-watch things. If you have a good PC you will enjoy the game very much. This is the game meant for hardcore PC gamers, And I have to appreciate.

    Final Verdict: This is solid 8 game for everyone. For me as a long-time Diablo fun and PC enthusiast I added two points. Thank you Blizzard for reacting to criticism and fixing your game. Consider myself as one of the happy customer now. I am looking forward to Diablo IV.    … Expand

    RoS showed Diablo how it should be from the beginning. Really enjoyable and amazing. Now grinding and looting have sense. Rifts and bounties changed it a lot. It is yet really worth playing.

The loot 2.0 is an amazing addition to an already great game, in vanilla D3 I was one of the people who got most of their legendarys from the auction house, but now I have a sufficient amount of legendarys coupled with very good rare gear that plays to my character's strengths.

    The removal of the AH/RMAH is another reason that I love the expansion. I personally thought that with the RMAH made the game biased towards people who had money to drop on the game, and as someone who is just out of high school, that person is not me.

    I will admit that the vanilla game had some weak points to it. The difficulty levels is a great example, I am sure that most of us have tried to power level your Paragon Levels on Inferno 10 and it either took 10 minutes to kill one encounter or you died within 2 seconds of entering the area. The fact that in ROS that I can run the game on Master with a new character and be an appropriate level to kill the final boss of the Act without dying an obscene amount of times (I'm talking about you Belial) really appealed to me.

    What astonishes me about other reviews of this game is how they are based on a couple hours played at a friends house and not extensive play, so to those reviewers: actual beat the game from start to finish before whining about it and calling it a bad game.

    I am going to finish with this, to those of you who are going to think when they read this, that I'm just another fanboy who is constantly optimistic about how this game will get better, stop now because yes I am a fan of the Diablo series, I have beaten all three games with every character, but I like this game, it holds up to the Diablo legacy of being the King of Hack'n'Slash games. It was well worth the $40 and I will get hours more of enjoyment out of it.

Mostly everything in Diablo 3 is an improvement to the previous game. You complain about giving gold on AH, yet wasn't it possible to trade or just "drop items by mistake" in Diablo 2? Then you would just use your "backup" and you'd get your item back. Cheating on hardcore and everything else. Grinding on impossible immune to fire, frost,lightning,poison,physical elites in D2.
    Most of the people that complain, are hypocrites. If this game would have been released 1 year after Diablo 2, it would have been the best thing ever and nothing would compare to the high expectations of the next game.

    I played ~40 hours of the original D3, and I must say that I was interested in seeing where Blizzard chose to take the game in Reaper of Souls (RoS), and overall while there are some positive changes which have been made they really haven't done enough to give D3 the classic status which its predecessors now enjoy. Onto my main points about the game:

    The main changes which were made    I played ~40 hours of the original D3, and I must say that I was interested in seeing where Blizzard chose to take the game in Reaper of Souls (RoS), and overall while there are some positive changes which have been made they really haven't done enough to give D3 the classic status which its predecessors now enjoy. Onto my main points about the game:

    The main changes which were made from standard D3 were increasing the max level cap, adding a new class, adding a new act, changing the way items drop, and adding a new "adventure" game mode. I personally have had some issues with finding others to play with in the game's story mode and at lower levels, making the game a bit lonely compared to what I am used to in vanilla D3.

    Increasing the max level cap had the effect of making all of a characters items from pre RoS obsolete, making all previous items obsolete once you hit level cap; this feels annoying in particular if you got badass items from the auction house, but after playing for a while you do get over it (well I did at least). Hand in hand with this is the changes to the drop rates, which have made finding upgrades for your character much easier, as items which drop are much more likely to be usable for which character you are playing. There is also a major increase to the drop rate of unique items, meaning that you will actually see some drop on a regular basis, and the addition of the mystic's ability to customize an enchantment on an item is also very welcome.

    For me the biggest change is adventure mode and the increase to the number of events in the game world, which gives you a real incentive to travel throughout the game world and do the many of the most fun activities which the game has to offer. This stands as a vastly superior endgame to vanilla D3's grind act 3 for loot, and for me is the largest improvement on the original. One gripe I have is the enemy density, which appears to have been reduced from the changes made in previous patches.

    The plot for the new act V is of the standard which you would expect from the original D3 (so not terrible but nothing to write home about), and the game has exactly zero surprises for you in terms of the larger story, and really has no success in making you give a damn about the events which are taking place in the world. There are some sidequests at the start of act V which have you actually interacting with civilians and guards outside of town, which is a welcome change from the standard of monsters out of town, everyone else in town, but (aside from one notable exception) they have no bearing on any other part of the game. There is also a bit more back story for all of your followers, which gives them some much needed depth.

    Overall RoS is an improvement on the original D3, though there are still fundamental problems with the game which will reduce the game's re-playability (for me at least) in the longer term.    … Expand

Before, all you needed was money to get good but now you need time and skill. Luck is important too, but with blood shards you can gamble for the item slot you want, so I can get 1-2 of the item I'm looking for per week if I play a few hours a day. After 2-3 weeks, I usually end up with a Best in Slot version of that item. A lot of people don't have that sort of patience, but I enjoy the game and the time I've put in has given me tons of enjoyment.

    Also, with the addition of "Greater Rifts" and Leaderboard, it doesn't feel like you're pointlessly grinding for loot anymore. Now you can actually push yourself to higher grift levels and aim to make it to the top 1000 for your class. I recently beat a 37 grift which puts me at about #300 overall in the US for barbs. And the challenge of improving and beating the next level grift keeps me wanting to play more and look for better upgrades. And the legendary gems + hellfire amulet are more cool item additions if you get bored of (g)rifts. Lots to do, you just have to figure out the most efficient ways of doing them.

    So yea, if you're looking for an awesome RPG with TONS of sweet loot and lots of classes and builds to play with, look no further. Yes, there are some cookie-cutter builds that seem to perform the best for some classes, but every item is unique so everyone's going to have different variations of the build in the end. Also, some classes can be a lot more fun than others. I love my barb to death whereas DH seemed boring, so make sure you research the classes before investing in one!

    I played Diablo II thousands of hours. I played Median XL Hardcore up to the point I was bored loosing 200h+ character and starting again at Act 1 with the possibility to die level 10 in the first quest...

    In what is Diablo 3 so sub-par? I don't see in any of those red dots providing any real reason.

    Let's think about it for a second...

    You cannot attribute skill points: SO WHAT? You play a Mage in D2? You put everything in Vitality and Mana and that's it. You save some points in case of a looted item requires some strenght or dexterity. Ok... Is that mineblowing experience? NO IT'S NOT, IT'S JUST USELESS.C'mon... Let's stop joking. It was just boring... Miserable argument.

    "Naaah Diablo 3 suxxxx, You only have 6 skills + 3 passive while in Diablo 2 you had so many (from F1 to F12)". You NOOBS!!!! In Diablo 2, you had 120 skill points (a bit more with the quests). If you put points here and there, you die. You had to put all the points in, guess how many skills since you can put maximum 20 points in one skill?? 6 Skills!!! Oh my God!!!!! It is less than Diablo 3... So again a miserable argument... And actually Diablo 3 skill system is much better. According to your loot you will change your skills and you actually REALLY use your 6 active skills, which is far more than Diablo 2 where you used maybe 2 or 3 active skills, the rest being passive.

    What more???? "ho it's not challenging". Ok, vanilla D3 wasn't at all. Got a point. However since the 2.2 patch it is challenging. As a Hardcore player, it really is... As in Diablo 2 Median XL, make a single mistake, you're just dead. It is as challenging as Diablo 2 Median XL, the challenge just comes a couple of 10 hours later.

    "Yeah yeah, you can choose your difficulty", but in Nephalem Rifts you cannot... And the whole point in the game is that one. Nephalem rifts, getting harder and harder, as in Diablo 2.

    "Diablo 3 is just like farming over and over". C'moooon BULL***T!!!!! Diablo 2 it was the same. With all of my friends we did hours of farming since Median XL is extremely difficult... I remember farming the Sewers in Act 2 (in Normal difficulty already...) for hours: even less rewarding than Nephalem Rifts.

    The game however is not perfect. You can play max at 4 which is really something they could avoid. You cannot trade objects, even if playing a private game. However it still makes sense, since D3 can be very challenging the affixes of the items are made so that it fits with your class. No reason to trade then. In the end, yes, you play the way Blizzard wants you to play. But I'm fine with it.

    I love opening the game when I have 20m free, opening a rift, empty it with the same adrenaline rush I had in Median XL. Kill the boss, feel relaxed, looking at the loot, optimize, shut down my computer. In this, Diablo 3 is just perfect. It reallt fitts my needs.

    Yes hardcore players play 2000h+ do rifts level 50+, but there really is place for casual gamers as I am now, as I just mentionned, you can play for 20m and go. Which something you couldn't do in Diablo 2. You start playing Diablo2, you need to play hours.    … Expand

    Reaper of Souls is more than an expansion, it's a complete game overhaul. Virtually no aspect of the game has been left untouched and it shows when playing it, because it's absolutely fantastic. Anyone who says this is a mere DLC or "cash grab" is a fool, and probably doesn't understand the severity of some of the changes, and how they impact the game overall.

    The launch of Reaper of    Reaper of Souls is more than an expansion, it's a complete game overhaul.

Anyone who says this is a mere DLC or "cash grab" is a fool, and probably doesn't understand the severity of some of the changes, and how they impact the game overall.

    The launch of Reaper of Souls was the smoothest I've seen in a very long time, absolutely no issues and I seamlessly transitioned into act 5 without even needing to relog. Speaking of act 5 it is by far the best act in the game, it is so beautiful and well designed I was actually in shock while playing through it.

    If you like loot (who doesn't?) Reaper of Souls is for, playing the game has never been more rewarding. With the removal of the auction house and the inclusion of BoA (Bind on Account) items you must now find all your gear yourself, no more pay to win and let me tell you, there's nothing more satisfying than actually finding that end game item you've been longing for. The new "smart loot" system helps with this, basically any item that drops has a very high chance at being a smart drop, which means the stats are tailored to the class you're currently playing. This system really helps smooth out gear progression. The new artisan the "Mystic" plays a massive role in the gearing process as well, as she allows you to change one stat on an item for a more preferable one (e.g. Life per hit to Critical Hit Damage).

    Reaper of Souls changes the way you farm, previously you would farm the same route over, and over again which was frankly, boring. This is no longer the case with the inclusion of "Adventure mode". Adventure mode offers "Bounties" and "Rifts", Bounties are like mini quests, there are 5 per act and if you complete all 5 you are rewarded with a "Horadric Cache", these caches (also known as bounty bags) contain gems, powerful legendaries and Rift fragments, which are used to open Rifts, Rifts are fully randomized dungeons with up to 10 floors. You have a progress bar which you must fill to 100% by killing monsters, when you do so a Rift Guardian will spawn, this powerful boss will drop legendary crafting materials, as well as "Blood Shards" which are used to gamble for specific item types, this gambling NPC is another new feature of Reaper of Souls.

    Another main selling point of the expansion is the new class, the Crusader. I have personally put around 200 hours into the Crusader since release and I can honestly say it's a very enjoyable class, while not perfect (resource cost and mobility issues) he is very fun to play. As well as adding a new class Blizzard have also updated all the older classes with new spells, runes and passives.

    I could go on forever about what has changed with Reaper of Souls, but all you need to know is Diablo III is now a great game, if you haven't played it in months, even years I highly suggest you re-install the game and update to the latest patch and give it a try, a lot of the improvements Reaper of Souls brings are available without purchase (just none of the major selling points). If you enjoy the game without Reaper of Souls, you will absolutely love it with. If you're a fan of the aRPG genre you can't go wrong with Diablo III: Reaper of Souls, it's the pick of the litter.    … Expand

    I was very disappointed with this game at launch. The auction house completely ruined almost every aspect of the game.

    There are still a few things that need to be improved or fixed but the game as a whole is 10 times better than it was in the first few months of release.    … Expand

    If you buy Diablo 3 alone, it is not worth, if you buy it with this expansion, it is a great deal. The game with the expansion is a great game, thats all. Also diablo 3 reaper of souls is in my top 10 videogames, so, you know, buy it.

    The first expansion to diablo 3 really brings some features people longed for. Especially the seasons, the constantly added new legendary items and affixes, the newly developed crafting and upgrade system and the overall constant updates really show that Blizzard tries its best to improve this game more and more. An improvement to the already good vanilla diablo 3.

    This game is phenomenal. Every new season is a blast for me and my friends. It's a race to the top and a competition between the clan. We play hard for 2-3 weeks then we are content to wait for the next season and look forward to it's start date. The loot and repeat system that lives in D3 is in fact a rewarding experience, and the builds that you can come up with are a blast. Don't letThis game is phenomenal.

    Together with Torchlight 2 and Titan Quest one of the best ARPG I'm aware of. The single player always on DRM sucks. The game is a lot of fun as long as you haven't finished the campaign. The modes afterwards only last for a limited amount of time. New content would be welcome.

    What in the Burning Hells happen here. It's been like 6-7 years ago since last time I played Diablo III. The game has changed a lot. I only got a single piece of Legendary item back then, but now...... And all my achievements with Nightmare, Hell and Inferno difficulty are now part of Feats of Strength. What the hell!!!

    A true redemption for Diablo III. Act V may be a little too short, but this expansion makes it up with lots of content and cool mechanics. Breathes new life into the game.

    This expansion was fun, far better than D3 content, the replayability and loot were far more rewarding and fun.

    I hadn't played this game since 2014, and I just got really impressed playing it the last two months!
    The end game is very addictive, lots of content has been added, and Blizzard keeps supporting the game and listening to the community with new and adapting content.

    Un gran juego que me introdujo a la franquicia, esta lleno de contenido y secretos que descubrir juento a un atractivo gameplay, puede ser un aire diferente a las anteriores entregas (Diablo y Diablo II), pero quiza era necesario para marcar diferencias y que no se sienta repetitivo.

Games like Path of Exile require a master’s degree to properly gear your character and a doctorates to create your own build and properly diagnose weaknesses. Diablo 3 requires no such dedication to enjoy or understand. It is simply FUN with a capital F. It plays and feels incredibly smooth on PC and transitions well to a controller.

    At last! Diablo III became the game I was looking forward to. Reaper of Souls does more than just improve the original – it reinvents it and helps it reclaim the hack’n’slash throne. [05/2014, p.50]

    Heaps of new content provides hours of fun, even though the campaign could use a little extension. But if you’re a fan, this is a must. [Issue#241]

    Blizzard did the obvious: literally transformed Diablo 3 to what it should have been from the start. It took them some time, but finally Blizzard got the message and moved finally to the right direction. While we expect the next expansion, fans of action / rpg can now sleep peacefully ... the king is here!
