May 29, 2012This game is unplayable for most of the time that I want to play it - even SINGLE PLAYER. This is totally unacceptable as the always-on DRM is only in place to protect their pay-to-win real money auction house.
We are witnessing the downfall of PC gaming right in front of our eyes.
Do Not Buy. -
May 29, 2012Online only for a single player type game..............And you can only play when blizzard decides to let you. Terrible story and terrible support from blizzard. I want my money back!

May 29, 2012I just paid $60 for an error message. This game is worthless until Blizzard can fix the connection problems. Until then, I'll be looking into how to get a refund. I'm so sick of being disappointed by new PC games.

May 29, 2012Servers are never up/ if they are the AH isn't up or working. The game is broken in inferno and becomes about as fun as a root canal. Itemisation is garbage. Blizzard continues to go downhill after Activision takeover. They should be embarrassed.

May 30, 2012Accounts getting hacked left and right like mine. Server issues still after a week or so of launch. Release day was terrible...and for a company who can support MMO launches without a hitch...no excuse for not letting me playing single player.

May 30, 2012Terrible game, end game is pointless and broken. The game has been abused from the beginning and a exploited to where a select group have free reign over the entire Auction House. The demand is only getting larger for act 3/4 items, whilst the supply is staying the same because the people who abused/exploited the game in the early stages are the only people who can obtain the gear.

May 31, 2012The worst game i've ever played in years. Oh wait I havent got the chance to play it yet, the **** servers never work. I will never buy a blizzard game ever again. The launch of Battlefield 3 were less broken than this piece of **** of a game. **** you blizzard, **** you.

May 31, 2012Can't play the game most of the time because servers do not respond. What to say more!
Blizzard should make sure to have the server architecture that can handle there customers needs! -

May 31, 2012It seems that every day is a maintenance day at Blizzard (including launch day!); here I am yet again, locked out of the game because another patch is being rolled out. Don't get me wrong, Diablo 3 is fun to play, which is why I'm casting my vote of discontent over the poor management, and horrible service that have made this the most frustrating game I've played in a while.

May 31, 2012I purchased this game have had one 8 hour period playing it and a single 1 hour period of playing every other time I've tried to log in there has been one of a plethora of errors shown to me, the infrastructure is inept and so are the people behind the game, if you buy this game expect to be level 100 at typing in your password and clicking "Login" and nothing else.

May 31, 2012Another game ruined by lawyers and people more interested in money than supplying a good game.
The DRM in this game kills it for most people. DO NOT BUY THIS GAME. IT SUCKS. STORY SUCKS. GRAPHICS SUCK. GAME PLAY SUCKS. ENVIRONMENT SUCKS. -

May 31, 2012Blizzard decided you had to play this game online, even if you play solo. Keep that in mind if you decide to go and buy the game. Because you simply won't be able to play it if Blizzard' server down. And they are, a lot of time, down. So you probably won't even get to decide if you like the game design. You'll just be left wondering.

May 31, 2012Errors, errors, errors and again errors. It's almost impossible to connect with the game server, there are several bugs, the story is terrible and the game-play... well... hard to say how it is, due to a load of latency and connection errors. Wanna play with a funny game? DON'T buy this one!

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]
