    This game feels like a turn-based game badly disguised into an action game. If Blizzard wanted to step into the arena of action games, they should have observed what good fighting games should play like. Think of God of War (2005, yes nearly a decade before Diablo III) or even Return of the King (2003!) as examples of good gameplay mechanics: evade, parry, counter-attack, etc. As it is,This game feels like a turn-based game badly disguised into an action game. If Blizzard wanted to step into the arena of action games, they should have observed what good fighting games should play like. Think of God of War (2005, yes nearly a decade before Diablo III) or even Return of the King (2003!) as examples of good gameplay mechanics: evade, parry, counter-attack, etc. As it is, Diablo III is just a very poor example of gameplay mechanics: no real strategy there, just smash the buttons as fast as possible (Gauntlet, somebody?), no blocking (what is a shield for ? Oh, wait, you don't see it but it blocks automatically, as indicated by the onscreen message, sometimes even when your enemy is stabbing you in the back) or evading, and upgrade your weapons to do more damage. Add to that the lack of feedback when you get hit (no recoil or scream of your character, the only clue is the red bar going down...). After a few hours of repetitive, mindless killing and boring dungeon explorations, I had enough. I got this game for really cheap (5$) at a sale, and believe me, it is not worth much more than this. This should never have been a fully-priced game, an XBox Arcade at best (and some XBox Arcade are actually much more interesting). Expand

    This is the best version of Diablo III to date. It feels right, it's hugely addictive and it has the ability to dilate local spacetime like a good ARPG should. [Issue#253, p.65]
