    Poor graphics, poor launch, and an unholy application of singleplayer. The graphics in this game look like they were designed in the same era as Diablo II, but on a different engine. They're that rediculous. Launch time comes around and Blizzard's servers are down. No problem, i want to play single player. OH WAIT. The worst part of this game is how everything is on a multiplayer server.Poor graphics, poor launch, and an unholy application of singleplayer.

Not only do you reuire a constant connection to the internet, every action has to be sent to an online server. So if you have a poor internet connection, or a horrid one, like satelite, be prepared to wait two full seconds between all your actions. Say for example, begining an attack, and it going to the server, and coming back, then the attack happening.

    Overall, way below expectations.    … Expand

Then it happened again, then i was brought to the main screen with a message saying server shutting down! and there was no news in the news box to announce it!

    The graphics are not bad but not spectacular either. You lost a lot of the customization from the previous games. I really hope that blizzard learns a harsh lesson from this and realize that fans posting here are not trolls just out to bash the game but gamers with serious gripes about how the game is handled right now. And i do hope that people reading this realize that the high scores done by the pros are or course sugarcoated and they would never decrease the rating of this game due to it being a cash cow of publicity for them on their site since Diablo ads are plastered over most of them.

    The game has its merit but i have seen way better game that got barely any praise but were as better than this. Titan Quest comes to mind! yes i said and i am pluggin it in. Want a good Diablo clone that does not force you to be online. Then buy Titan Quest and the expansion and you will be rewarded with long hours of pure fun. More than this game will ever give out without you having to shell more money to make it longer.

    I can see this game die a quick death after most people have done one walkthru... i am sorry if it looks like i am all over the place with this but there is so many things done wrong with the game. It had potential but Blizzard decide to ------ this game out instead of making a proper sequel, The people who made the decision about this game should go. Otherwise Blizzard is gonna go down the drain on their other games othen than WoW.    … Expand

    This was fun while you played it... but for a diablo game, which always used to have an unlimited amount of replay ability, this has none. You level up, struggle a bit to get gear until you realize that there isn't any incentive to play anymore.

Jay Wilson tried to make it too "original" instead of keeping the tried and tested elements that Diablo had, and STILL worked when D2 came out. An extreme leveling grind, easy farm able gear from anywhere in the game.... there was no reason to remove these elements, and it is evident that they did not work. The attitude the game developers have towards the subject, and I quote from their videos "Sometimes gamers tell us what they want, but we know better", an arrogant statement, that proved 100% false. Good work on killing a classic, and my favorite game series of all time. I hope it is fixed in the future so I feel like I can play again.… Expand

I've read so many of these 100% reviews that it literally churns the stomach. How can anyone think this game is good? It's 13 hours of solid gameplay, then the rest is repetitive grind. The voice acting is TERRIBLE. Terrible, god damn it. The game's customization steered away from talent trees to this dumbed down "pick 6 skills and mash" system. Look up diablo 2 on gamefaqs and at their indepth/character guides and recognize how watered down this game is, compared to it's predecessor. The graphics are straight from the 2004 era, which, I can understand, considering blizzard strong arms you into playing online, but they could have at least used cell-shaded graphics. As it stands I won't buy the sequel, or any blizzard game at this point. It's down right appalling that people still buy the mountains of **** blizzard craps out and call it gold. This game is not gold, it's a long, tedious grind, that won't even last you 3 days. Worst of all, it's a loot game but it's so painfully randomized that you could spend your whole day grinding, even using exploits to make it go by faster, and never find a single piece of useful gear. You are better off going to the royal crypts loaded up with +Gold find, and buying **** off the AH. I have a firm belief that every game should last it's cost in hours. Diablo should have brought to me 60 hours of enjoyable time spent for the 60 bucks I had to pay. Instead I played it for 13 hours, enjoyed the cinematics, then the other 26 hours I begrudgingly put into it, I was banging my head against the desk, and the only thing that made it even remotely tolerable or why I kept going to begin with was because I had 6 people to play it with. I got skyrim 2 weeks ago and I'd say I'm about 20% through the **** game and still loving it. Sufficed to say, I haven't even touched diablo since and don't have the slightest desire to pick it up again, even if I played a new class. Blizzard really doesn't respect it's fanbase at all, if they think they can get away with marketing this and expecting us to eat it up. Game get's a 2/10, for not meeting my hour to cost quota, wasting 20+ hours of my life, and in all honesty, being drastically underwhelming for a game I have been waiting 10-11 years for.

Blizzard seriously screwed over its consumers by adding this stupid always online requirement, and the main reason seems to be for the real money auction house, a feature few asked for and even fewer want now that they've had to deal with the constant online issues.

    If you haven't bought it, do yourself a favor and don't. It is a great game, but given all the problems you have to deal withm it's not worth $60. it's not even worth $10, with all these issues. Vote with your money, tell Blizzard this is NOT acceptable.    … Expand

    When it works, it is great. Having to log onto a server to play a single player game, and then get kicked every 10 minutes, is beyond asinine.

Some of the quests are run and do this, or that, and then run back. While a lot of the running (back) is fixed with stones to teleport back to town with, it still is a bit monotonous. The stash is pretty ingenious, though, I REALLY wish you had about 2 to 3 times the space to start with. It'll make creating mules easy. Right now, it is hard to really recommend this game, since you generally spend as much time looking at loading screens, as you do playing the game. That is a major problem. Something that really has to be fixed, and fast. I spent $60 for this game, while PC games go for $50.

    The launch was hilariously terrible but only for US players. It seems Blizzard spent their time and money and focused on the Europe/Asia regions as they were able to play continuously while the US region was taken down for most of launch day and again the day after with fifteen minute server restarts ( sounds like an MMO problem, Diablo is an MMO? ).

    Another major issue is the always on connection. You are connected to a server at all times and if you connection to that server lags just a little bit the game will rubber-banned. A single player game rubber-banning is messed up and disconnects will not save anything the last 5-10 minutes so if you start to rubber-ban it's best to stand still and see if the latency bar goes back to green.

    When you are eventually able to play it's great to play with friends. While the only thing it changes is the health points of the enemies it does make it more interesting to play when friends are there to save you or die doing something stupid. Alone it can be somewhat mindless but in a good way I guess. It appeals to some of the OCD nature in all of us to clear everything and destroy everything. They picked the perfect time to release the game as the PC gaming market is dull at the moment for major titles especially in this category. There are real money auction houses that can be used to sell or buy items with real money. Blizzard takes a large cut of the sale and there are fee's for transferring back to something like PayPal.

    I'm so angered by Blizzard at this disgrace of a game. They legalized gold selling,("its legal when we get the money",) Changed the art style completely (from a dark fantasy to wow), Completely casusalized everything (no stats, customisation, difficulty). It's just so bland. Also whats with the achievements? i spent about an hour playing (dont read as i played for 1 hour) and got 10 achievements, what on earth is that? thats not an achievement, an achievement implies that i actually did some work rather than killed 10 zombies. I also had the game spoiled by the achievements, it pops up on your screen in big when someone gets one and basically tells you who the bosses are gonna be later on, Real ID killed the immersion so bad.

    It seems like the game was intended as a reboot to the franchise, but instead (because it was terrible) was turned into the third game in the series, to sell more copies. Why is the game so easy? i complained to one of my friends about how it was so easy and just a boring grind due to how easy it was, and he basically told me to complete it (6-10 hours of playtime) to get to a harder difficulty. Why cant i change the difficulty? i would've enjoyed the game a hell of a lot more if i was actually presented anything that could actually kill me for the first 5 hours of the game.

    Isn't this supposed to be a AAA game? Then why are most of the monsters in the game copied straight from the previous 2 games and World of Warcraft? I wouldn't have minded a couple of copied monsters every now and then but goddamn they used so many.

    Last thing, it seems like the complete first act and second were copied completely from diablo 2. And the entire first act is comprised of "oh hey its the characters from the previous games, look look they're talking to these people that are in the new one, holy **** they must be amazing if the old characters are talking to them. Oh Jesus! look its that boss from the first 2 games, oh god he's massive now JESUS CHRIST LOOKOUT!". But you can kill it with frogs.

    This game was a waste of time, dont bother buying or even looking at it again, its a failure. Its AS BAD as Duke Nukem Forever. Stay away.

    The graphics are cool, the story seems interesting so far, its a sequel to one of my favorite games ever but yet.... if I could return it right now I would. Why? The DRM has made it impossible for me to play the single player mode. I have not even tried anything else because I always get booted from the game.

This is a clear demonstration to the players (consumers) that blizzard cares more for their profit than your satisfaction. That is the only reason DRM exists in the first place. This score will not change until the game is fixed of the DRM requirement.… Expand

    It would be nice to play the game for longer than 10 minutes. But I keep getting kicked off the game with error "3007" every time I play for about that long. I hate how DRM punishes the legit customers.

    También es penoso que estén fallando tanto los servidores y fastidiando a tanta gente que se ha gastado el dinero en Diablo 3, que ya podrían gastar algo de la millonada que están ganando en poner más servidores y arreglar los fallos, algunos realmente graves (como el error 3006), entre otros. Quizá los servidores no hubieran estado tan saturados si, para empezar, no hubieran obligado a conectarse a todos los que quizás hubieran jugado offline para ir probando el juego en partidas individuales.
    La construcción de personajes con habilidades y atributos pasó a la historia, ahora exepto por el equipo que tenga cada personaje, todos los de la misma clase son clones, puedes elegir que habilidades estarán activas y cuales inactivas en cualquier momento, pero el proceso no es lo suficientemente rápido, ademas de que has de abrir otra ventana enorme que no te deja ver, como para permitirte hacerlo en el fragor de la batalla. Dicen que así es mas estratégico, pero en Diablo vas avanzando y en el mismo escenario por el que marchas te puede atacar una horda, seguidamente un mostruo peligroso y solitario, seguido de otra horda, y deseas que pudieras cambiar habilidades para hordas o monstruos solitarios sobre la marcha, por poner un ejemplo. Más que estratega hay que ser adivino.
    Visualmente el juego me ha gustado muchisimo, la trama tambien, los personajes son impactantes cuando atacan o usan habilidades, por lo que me fastidía más aún con un juego tan guapo el verme tan limitado a la hora de tener soltura usando las distintas habilidades y el hecho de que tengo la sensación de que no construyo un personaje, ya está hecho de antemano, más bien lo voy desbloqueando, y no puedo decidir que atributos quiero aumentar en detrimento de otros, por mi cuenta y riesgo.    … Expand

    No customization for the characters, and no attribute points. Everything has been designed for noobs. Not for Diablo 2 lover.
    The game is too easy, to bright, to happy for sure.
    In addition, I still get Error#37, 4 days after the release and a very poor ping. This is just UNACCEPTABLE. I paid for a game, and I can't play in good conditions.

    I dont mind being permanently connected to the Internet even for single player mode as long as Blizzard is able to provide good servers capacity.
    Blizzard has screwed up Diablo, and my respect for them has decreased. I will just finish the game and remove from my PC. I'd rather play Titan Quest or Torchlight in OFFLINE mode.    … Expand

    I'm giving this a 2 because when I can actually play, it looks pretty good. I'm not a fan of the skill progression, but the addition of the skill bar is much needed. Overall I regret spending the $60.

    My 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.

    For 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]

    When 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]
