    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

The expansion held my interest from the time it took me to get all my LVL60 chars to the new level cap and level my Crusader from 1 - 70 but it is just not enough. I kept holding out hope that RoS would save this game but personally it is just not interesting enough due to lack of character customization and build options. The game is still incredibly unbalanced, as in there is usually only 1 optimal build for each class. My best advice to ARPG fans who liked Diablo 2 and are willing to dump 100's of hours into a game is to not waste your time and play Path of Exile instead!!… Expand

They got rid of the Auction Houses and made gear more like WoW where you have to work for it and can't simply trade with randoms. 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!

    PS - The game doesn't really become enjoyable until max level. No one enjoys the plane ride, but it's usually worth the wait :)    … Expand

It is still no where near the glory days of old diablo’s but it is a vast improvement over the diablo 3 release. They have added some end game content and made loot a little more fluid, it has a long way to go but its on the right path.

    Gameplay: Fun, solid, fluid, feels clean and looks good. Typical monster slayer game with lots of loot to go around. Improved a lot of aspects from diablo 3 and keeps people entertained. Improvements coming out relatively fast in the form of patches to make sure the game is what the people want. It lacks a lot of creativity though as builds for characters are pretty much cookie cutter. As in only certain builds are viable for endgame content. Also specific items are the best for certain classes. In other words if you want to have top level gear and top level damage you pretty much have to follow in the footsteps of everyone else which makes it kind of depressing.

    Overall this game is crazy amounts better than diablo 3 but still needs improvement to be a game that is in the same league as diablo 2 and 1.    … Expand

The official Diablo 3 General Discussion forums is a very toxic place, but the class forums and communities offer a better experience. Don't play the public games. 3 months into release and Blizzard's still supporting the game and actively adding new content.

    If you're a normal person who has a job and social commitments, then this review is for you:

    For an expansion pack that only provides 1 additional act and 1 more class, it's definitely not worth the price I paid for it if you just intend to play the game to completion in solo mode.

    Blizzard has skewed much of the longevity of the game towards the multi-player experience and the loot hunt. The trouble is that certain design decisions (such as limiting trading, combat mechanics) don't really foster good co-operative gameplay, and the public game experience can be quite unpleasant.    … Expand

    Yes the fifth chapter might not be as strong as the initial story ever was, but the adventure mode makes it a lot more fun to do!

    It actually (finally) is rewarding to grind this game and there are numerous ways of getting better gear!
    Crafting also has gained a little of it's glory back in this update.
    The thing I do like most of this game is the difficulty of staying alive on the higher Inferno levels. One mistake and your dead, makes it feel a lot better when you accomplish killing an elite group, mini boss or boss!

    In the end I do not recommend this game to people who love a great story.
    For one playthrough (maybe two) it's alright, but after that the story is very thin.

    However if you like mindless hack 'n slash and grinding for gear, this game is great!
    The combat is great and has pretty deep skill combinations and strategies with gear/skills to do most damage and stay alive!

    The Burger King of ARPGs compared to Path of Exile's fine dining experience.

    The start of a new season up to the point where you've got mostly ancient augmented gear is a 10/10 ARPG experience. Shame it goes by so quickly and then there's nothing interesting to work towards.

    Reaper of souls is fun. Act V is a lot closer to the Diablo universe than all of Diablo 3 combined. Less chatter from bosses, more creepiness. If you're expecting loot to be any better, you'll be let down. The development team basically slapped a couple special effects on a FEW legendaries. That's it.

    The issue is this - intervals where you get no loot. When you hit the loot level (70), you should be rewarded for hunting for loot. As you colect items that increase your power, the time should increase between upgrades. Instead, you get to 70 and are stuck in lower difficulties forever because magic find no longer exists on common items. You cannot increase your odds for finding loot that allows you to progress through the difficulties. You will get a legendary ever 2-3 hours because there is a loot timer. It truly is loot on rails. The problem is far greater in hardcore.

    That perfect item progression from previous Diablo games is still missing, but at least we have bounties and rifts...right? Ahem.

    It still sucks having online only. Its not a perfect system, but it is getting better.
    I now have hope in this franchise again!

    Too little, too late... Diablo fans now are in Path of Exile or Grim Dawn. RoS confirms that this saga will be continuously adding content to maintain us busy but nothing to develop our characters: still no abilities, skill tree, offline, mods... like a webgame that we don't own, the mythical Blizzard from my childhood is no more, this is an online cash register now...

    I just don't get how people are sooo angry with D3... I actually hardly believe they really played the game more than 10 minutes...

    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 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

    Fixes everything that was wrong with vanilla Diablo. Adds a functional end-game, and brings lasting content that is also immediately accessible. Unfortunately, it's a little too late for me, since I've moved on to Path of Exile. Vanilla Diablo 3 i'd give a 5/10. Diablo 3 with this expansion is a solid 8/10.

    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. 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 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 did play Diablo 3 when it first came out and beat the game in less than a week and forgot about it - to be honest I was pretty disappointed and found it wasn't quite to my liking.

    I decided to buy ROS just around the time they released patch 2.4 (I believe) which is Season 5. I could tell upon playing the game again, that they had made a lot of changes to the game and a lot of improvements to when Diablo 3 first came out. The progression feels a lot smoother, (though a little too easy), the gear management, customizing and upgrading systems makes things interesting, and the spells and different character builds are fun to play around with. What is interesting is there are gear incentives to switch builds as well.

    As a stand alone game (and not comparing it or basing it off of the original Diablo games) it is an entertaining game and I definitely feel like I got my money's worth for around $20 for the expansion pack. The new seasons that come out every 3 months or so give incentives and new content such as gear, and dungeons which, for me, made the end game enjoyable. However the problem I ran into was that after I finished the basic incentive tasks for the season I shied away from the game altogether. It just seems like after a certain point you are grinding into oblivion (which some people may enjoy), constantly upgrading and improving gear, but since playing through the campaign and adventure mode is stimulating you with new content, the end game, to me, seems pointless.

    Now, I would like to end by comparing it with the previous Diablo games, mainly Diablo 2.

    Story:
    What was (more) interesting about Diablo 2, was for one thing the story was dark, grimy very oblique at times and highly stylized. Diablo 3 took the Diablo world and established it for an all encompassing audience, which is fair, but the Diablo 2 environment seemed to have horror elements that intrigued me more-so.

    Creatures/gameplay:
    Though Diablo 2 ran on a different engine than the updated and smooth Diablo 3 engine, I found that whilst playing Diablo 2 I paid much more attention to the monsters, and the environments. I think part of this has to do with the difficulty (I'll get to this shortly) - you pay more attention to killing things that really ARE a threat to you. I read another thread about this, and some people speculating on the dimmer lighting in Diablo 2. However, there are some really cool environmental effects, and creatures/creature animations that are in Diablo 3.

    Difficulty:
    The difficulty in Diablo 3 was a really big problem for me. For one thing there are at least 10 different difficulties to choose from. The difficulty incentive was confusing for me because you can easily exploit the game by playing minimum difficulty levels and slowly upping the difficulty so you are sort of 'one step ahead of the game', though if you are a speed running type there is a pretty even threshold of difficulty which can make the game worthwhile. Personally I did try to stay pretty high in difficulty to maintain a challenge, but I found the whole difficulty system to be "average".

    In comparison to Diablo 2 where the difficulty seemed to always be a step above you (to Diablo 3's one step below you) so that you really had to work (with character and gear) to progress through just 3 basic difficulties. For some reason that made the grinding more worth it.

    Multiplayer:

    I am not a fan of the new battle.net format, and I found this game too difficult to really bother with the multiplayer aspect. There are pre-made guild channels, and the whole multiplayer format is too 'other-worldly' for me. The old Battle.net (via Diablo 2 for example) kind of defaulted you into channels and guided you into the multiplayer aspect of the game - I found at least - whereas the new battle.net has it sort of the other way around. Plus the leveling system, which works as something called a paragon, which means once you max to level 70 you get +paragon levels which give you stats, and these paragon levels can range from 60-800 or something, so I feel the multiplayer is probably pretty coordinated around meeting specifications. Trading was also a big aspect of Diablo 2, not prevalent in Diablo 3.

    However, all in all, Diablo 3 did improve upon what a lot of features in Diablo 2 were frustrating and lacking. The downside is that it dampened on the aspects of Diablo 2 which were dark, epic, and challenging. Unfortunately it feels like an entirely different game altogether, which to be honest I probably would not have played had it lacked the Diablo name. That being said, it is a well designed game, by a thoughtful and innovative gaming company that really did draw me in and was fun and entertaining for the time I was engaged in it.    … Expand

    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.

I've been playing the ninja Set for a looooong time just because this is the only Set which is tanky enough not to die just by being smiled at. I even have equiped so many gear which reduces the incomming dmg in % amount but still I get ONE SHOT. Guess the Ninja is the only set / class which is left to me.

    2021: Well Blizzard is still not able to balance classes / Sets. Some classes are much stronger, faster than others. It's just a joke that one class can flye through the maps and other is like a snail that is trying to move by itself. Why Blizzard is so bad in balancing stuff like that? Why are some classes so extremely slow?    … Expand

    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.

    Hallo zusammen,

    Diesem Spiel mangelt es an Inovtion und Spielinhalt...
    Die Entwicklung welcher der Herteller betreibt ist, sehr langsam und kaum spührbar...

    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 like its base game does not exist. It exists only on Blizzard servers. Why does this publisher is allowed to take customers money without giving them the actual product?
    It gets a 0 because you can only download this game. I will update the review if they release the actual game like they have on consoles.

    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.

    It's an alright game for the first few playthroughs and different classes in terms of gameplay. The grind is real and boring. Nothing much but bad can be said to the story, characters, music and graphics.
    At least it was fun while it lasted.

    I waited 10 years to play Diablo 3 after getting mixed messages from friends. Mind you I loved D1 and D2. They are an integral part of my youth!

    So going in with low expectations, and not really knowing much about the game was, thinking its gotta be ripe now atleast. 10 years of patches and fixes.!

    But..the game was absolutely horrible...? I had to turn up the difficulty several notches, going for the most difficult pretty quickly. Even then I was just standing and keeping my mouse button pressed on an enemy. Watching periodically how they turned into a chicken from my spells whilst being blocked by my "witch doctor" creeps as the enemies also were being hit by my frogs(?!) or bat-plasma thing(?!)... the health bar going into the millions. My follower dealing 400k in damage. More then me whatever i did. My units never died during the game. Going through every act fully explored. Allways 100% HP regardless (why even give them health bars if they cannot take damage?!). Me too most of the time. When i finally finished act 4. I realised there was another act.

    Immediately I uninstalled the game. Knowing I couldn't continue with such a misuse of my time any more, hoping I had finished the whole game. How can a big company that owns such a good franchise produce such a generic, totally time waste of a computer program (game?).

    Do not play. Its not worth it. Even if its free (like in my case). Maybe I don't get meaning/point of the game at all. Maybe somebody switch out the real game on blizzard servers? Could have watched the game play itself. I don't understand how the game could land positive criticism from established reviewers. I wished somebody would have paid me for playing through 4 acts. I built my perseverance and tolerance a lot. That's what i gained from playing.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. All right expansion, mostly worth it for the extra character.

    Diablo III – Reaper of Souls is an expansion for the main game and features a new map/area to go to, as well as a new campaign and an extra character, the Necromancer. It follows the exact same principle as Diablo II – Lord of Destruction.

    I always found it funny that, in Diablo II and Diablo III, you slay Diablo, evil itself, the Prime overlord of hell and after that, the campaign goes on casually and you need to defeat the “true end boss” of the game because of the expansion. Nevertheless, both expansions worked out fine.

    Diablo III – Reaper of Souls is worth it, mainly for the Necromancer character. Although the Necromancer feels very overpowered in the beginning, it gets balanced out with the other characters later in the game. His mechanics, attacks and skills are cool, and his animations and blueish glowing aura make the character complete.

    In terms of the rest, the newly added campaign (or to be more specific; act) is all right. It has a classic and cliché story about a rogue angel Malthael, who turned into the Angel of Death. This of course, means that he raises the dead and wants to conquer the world (or wipe it out, whatever).

    It is a fun little story with some new unique terrains and environments, some cool new enemies like the Rat men and the Boggits but also some cheap and recycled assets like “Revenant archers”, “Shield Barrers” and “Revenant Soldiers”. Those are recycled skeletons from the original game and feel lifeless (yeah, I know) and rushed and I didn’t get any satisfaction when wiping the floor with them. Mainly because there is nothing to wipe, because they just go up in smoke. The lore tries it best to put some life and connection into these new enemies, but for me, that failed miserably.

    The boss battle with Malthael was good and rewarding tough and he was hard as bricks. This fight redeemed some fun I had with the game.

    Overall, Diablo III – Reaper of Souls was not the worst expansion I have ever played, it was just not impressive of unique enough for me to care that much.    … Expand

    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]

    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!
