Jul 17, 2012My overall experience of the Diablo hasn't changed since Diablo 1 till now. Item grinding is the main purpose of the game, always. I don't understand what everyone was expecting.

May 20, 2012Amazing game! If the servers won't crash, everybody will be happy. Let's do no critic the servers. The game is important, not the problems with servers. Diablo 3 is the most beautiful rpg game that was creating since the pc was born.

May 16, 2012The King is back! And He is even more awesome than ever before! It is really clear to see where all those years have gone - every little thing in this game is brilliant! Game of the year so far.
-
May 21, 2012I'll give 2 points off because you need the internet to play it, because that IS annoying. but other than that the game is fun and addicting just like diablo 1 and 2. definitely doesn't deserve the 0 that a lot of these hater-fanboys are giving it...

May 19, 2012Especially good game. Some kind of a relief among Call of Duty, Battlefield and other shooters. I'm not gonna lie, I didn't play Diablo I&II, but that doesn't interrupt the gameplay.
P.S. I live in South Africa, so, I don't have any problems with Error 37. 10 out of 10. -
Jul 13, 2012Grinding Inferno Act III, the game so far is a lot of fun. Once you get the proper gear
this game gets really good. The elites in this game are some of the best I have
ever seen. I highly recommend this game to anyone who likes ripping through
huge amounts of mobs and killing stuff. -
May 19, 2012Excellent Game...one of the most amazing games I've ever played...DRM sucks but talking just about the game I have to say that this game makes it a lot better than plenty games I played before...all the people giving low scores I think they should buy the game instead of having "problems" with DRM :D

Jun 7, 2012Really great game. Most of the negative reviews are from people having launch day issues. It's really unfortunate, because the gameplay is really polished, quests are interesting, and just plain fun.
-
Jun 26, 2012This just proves that the critic reviews are always more accurate (and not full of bullcrap). How can you give a game the 0 score just because it has DRM.

Jun 28, 2012I think Diablo is the game of the year
Not only because it has amazing graphics but for its history, for being so long, its difficulty
That itself is a Diablo and the people who complain because they do not play enough at Diablo 2 -

May 26, 2012Awesome game, I love how I don't have to read quests and all the NPC actually talk!!! I really like the story line and you don't need to get a masters degree in order to play this game.
-
May 28, 2012Best game since Diablo 2 in the genre. Beats all the boring clones with one hand, provides breathtaking atmosphere, mindblowing physics engine and brilliant visual style (yes, i know graphics outdated). Have spent 156 hours playing it and every minute was worth it. Haters gonna hate.

May 7, 2014Just ignore all the haters, this is an awesome game. Great gameplay, nice story and I love the new skill system. Definitely the best game in the series and now that all the connection errors are gone it's definitely a 9/10
-
May 29, 2012Diablo 3 is a great game ! Do not believe all the armchair critics on this site. They are mainly full of it and should have there log in details for this site revoked. Good work Blizzard. All you Zero voters dont deserve to be called gamers. Why would any company want to make a game for the likes of you.

May 30, 2012Amazing game... aside from tech issues that should hopefully be resolved soon, don't let the low user review scores steer you away if you are a Blizzard fan... however, don't expect WoW or SC2... I thought it was only decent until I really started experimenting with the classes and leveling more and more...
it is super addictive, and beautiful if u can customize the graphics to suit ur machine. -

May 31, 2012Hi, i don´t know why people criticize diablo 3.
It´s better than you can imagine, thanks blizzard thanks. All in this game is better than other similar games, action, story, graphics, all. -

Jun 2, 2012The game is really nice, the gameplay awesome.
It could sux for some because you have to log-in even if you want to play solo.
The story is short (and immersive) but really nice, featuring awesome cut-scene. -

Jun 23, 2012I'm a big fan of Diablo and once I heard that Diablo III had a release date I just could not wait, and now that it is installed on my pc for now all my free time is Diablo time untill my family starts to complaints, well it is what is and it is still the best game ever and I will say it right now is it possiable a Diablo IV if so I will be one of the first in line keep up the great work.

Jul 14, 2012After the small problems on launch and after patch 1.03 this game is lots of fun to play even without the auction house. Graphics are good, itemhunt is there and classes are mostly balanced and all feel very diffrent
Way better than diablo II -

Aug 28, 2012Alot of people knock this game because it's not D2 with updated graphics... Game has some flaws but every new patch addresses these issues and the game only is getting better.
The people rating this game a 0 are WoW players and console gamers who have no clue what the Diablo series is about.... -

Oct 29, 2013I was a huge fan of Diablo 2 back in the days, and I have over at least 1200 hours on that game. Now, Diablo 3 does lack a few features, such as the promised PVP. But overall, 5 fun classes to play, nice graphics, awesome spells and runes, and a nice story. Not the best story, but a nice story. I really do enjoy playing the game, even though the Auction House is an overall downside to the game.

Apr 13, 2014This game isn't a step up from Diablo II, but is in NO means a step down. Beautiful graphics, voice actors, and cinematics make this game look like a masterpiece. Buy it.
-
Apr 21, 2014This may be a different Diablo game but still pretty much addictive and fun. The art style, graphics, and cinematic is totally a masterpiece. If only they didn't removed the allocations of stats and skill tree, this could be the best action RPG game out there today.

Jul 31, 2016I've played all previous Diablos, and I like this one, too. It might be a bit too simple and too easy, but I still like it more than some other games in the genre (excluding Torchlight II).
As I've seen it, almost everything people was complaining about this game was either removed or fixed now, so you can ignore the current score, and give it a try :) -
Sep 10, 2015I am a fan of the Diablo series and I can say I very much enjoy what Diablo 3 has to offer. The game play is great and stays true to the hack and slash RPG I fell in love with years ago. I would say 80% of the negative reviews on here are the launch day server issues. While understandably frustrating for many, it is no reason to pout and make a good game look horrid to future players.
-
Nov 20, 2014Diablo 3 was a wonderfully designed masterpiece by Blizzard Entertainment. I would recommend this game to most, if not all of my friends as it gives a sense of fun and entertainment.

Apr 6, 2016I originally disliked this game but after picking it up again and seeing the auction house gone, I fell in love with it. I love attaining new loot and just adventuring around. I also liked that they got rid of having to be online the entire time to play.
-
May 17, 2015The graphic of this game is simply amazing, like the atmosphere of the game. Longevity and gameplay are really high, and the multiplayer is well organized. I think this game is really really good and it's probably almost perfect! :)

Jul 1, 2015- Good: Gameplay, Multiplayer, Setting

Nov 6, 2016Diablo III is a great RPG game with an interesting story and excellent gameplay. I am not too experienced at playing RPGs, but DIII made my day. The graphics is great in the game. I love how they created gameplay, it makes the game interesting not only in the matter of plot. To put it simply, just play it.

May 9, 2020It looks definetely perfect even after all those years. This is definetely my best isometric hack'n'slash rpg game. Everything is so balanced, fighting is so much fun. Looking forward for Diablo IV!

Jun 4, 2020i am no diablo nerd but i really enjoyed this when it came out, also played dii way back but just bits. also tried the 360 demo of this seemed solid
-
Jul 21, 2020Nothing has to say more about than this game is simply the best hack‘n slay loot dungeon crawler which was ever made. Every on this concept like gameplay and loot system seems to be perfectly balanced. The end game is so deep that this game will easily makes the same fun to play just after 8 years.
-
May 31, 2022Great game, over 5000 hours played. It's a pity the game was abandoned and not developed.
-
Feb 21, 2022Great game that continues the story of the second part. Several interesting classes, new mechanics.
Interesting story. The first year in Diablo 3 was very good, but I did not really like how the game developed further. -
Jun 13, 2022Diablo 3 is a great game. Blizzard set out to make all builds viable and did a great job of it. The game is fun to play, relaxing and very rewarding.

Apr 10, 2019The cinematics are great and draw you into the Sanctuary, but the dialogue and overall storytelling are lacking in comparison with its predecessor.
Its saving grace is the highly addictive combat and easy to use interface; just don't play this on the easier difficulty settings because never having to use the health potion due to being impossible to die can become tedious. -

Jul 13, 2023NOT D2 :( guess there won't be a D2 anytime soon, judging how D4 reviews go, maybe we should just move on till company like old blizzard will give us what we want...
-
Jan 29, 2019I really don't get the negativity on this one. It's my favourite of the series. TONS of value for your $$$ with years of support from Blizz.

Jun 17, 2018Играл уже после всех обновлений, поэтому игра понравилась. Хорошо, что прислушались к фанатам, и внесли корректировки. Единственное, чего не хватает этой игре, так это PVP.

May 27, 2018This game is good , but nostalgiatards rate it this low. Sure , not as good as diablo 1 or 2 , but still good.
-
Mar 27, 2018i used to like diablo.
it always give generous marks to familiar but good characters. -
Aug 31, 2018I thought I'd check the user reviews for D3 and i saw that most negative comments are on the older versions of D3. But I would love to give anyone from the old versions a chance to read this and replay the game because they have polished it out and made it MUCH more playable and IMO enjoyable. Have fun!

Oct 31, 2018Шедевр не пойму чем не довольны люди все идеально сделанно!!!

Dec 19, 2018Since the removal of the auction house and improved loot drops and frequency Diablo 3 has turned into a pretty good game. The end game gear is a lot of fun. Once you have used your favorite set piece on your character for a while the game starts to get a little stale but that's super super late game, and what game doesn't loose some appeal once you have played it that much.
-
Aug 6, 2019I thought it was a decent title. Leaving out the history of the Diablo franchise. D3 by itself wasn't half bad. It had a bad launch but overall I had fun and got my money worth. It was designed well. Didn't have any disturbing bugs or serious down time for hot fixes.
Awards & Rankings

Aug 31, 2012My one major complaint is that the game never feels very difficult, especially on Normal. There are frustrating moments, hordes of baddies, and increasing difficulty levels, but the same feeling of utter defeat never really happens as it did in the past.
-
Hyper MagazineJul 18, 2012For all the game's missteps, though, you certainly can't accuse Blizzard of phoning it in - if anything, the game suffers from the tendency to try a little to hard at times to evolve the design. [Aug 2012, p.61]
-
Jul 3, 2012When it works, Diablo III is the best of the Diablo games. When it doesn't, all it does is make you mad. [July 2012, p.54]
