is diablo 3 worth buying?
" Pretty much this. At the moment, I'd say: Wait until they ironed out the major flaws. Then, if you're looking for a bit of fun and only want to play it once for the story (or every once in a while to chill), you'll get your money's worth. If you enjoy farming gold and rares you don't need (to sell them for more gold), this is the game for you. Particularly if you like camping Treasure Goblins for hours on end (allegedly; the one friend of mine still playing does this four hours/day and is constantly bitching about it). If you want to play it as Trading Game via (mostly) AH, this is the game for you. If you like buying your gear for the most part, this is your game. If you like to find treasure for you while exploring unknown dungeons and areas, this game is not for you. If you find pleasure in tailoring your own builds, or builds around certain items you find, this is not the game for you. If you want a good story well told, this is not the game for you. 12/12/12 - the day Germany decided boys are not quite human.

I was lucky enough to get a guest pass. I also got in on the Torchlight 2 beta.
Personally I enjoyed TL2 WAY more than Diablo 3. I'm pleased that I was able to get a Kiwi with the PoE beta AND preorder Torchlight 2 and still spend less than buying Diablo 3. My disappointment with Diablo 3 is how I found Path of Exile so at least it has that going for it.... |

Finally getting my refund of D3. THey just answered my ticket and say I will get my refund in 5-10 business days.
D3 is horrible. When I beat PoE on normal, I had a pile of items in my stash that I wanted to use with other characters. When I bead D3 on normal, I didn't even have any items I wanted to use on the char I was playing. |

" IKR, I beat normal, NM, hell and was at inferno. I never once found anything that I could use or build my skills around it or had the urge to create a different character to build around the item I found. Literally all my gear were from the auction house. Before I refunded the game, I had been farming inferno act 1, three to four hours a night for nearly two weeks and never once did I find a loot drop that I could use or fetch me a reasonable sum of gold on the auction house. I farmed with 5 NV, resplendent chest in watch tower, warden, elites, butcher over and over. And you know what is most frustrating? You get TONS of rare items that are absolute garbage and occasionally you get a rare or two that you thought might be worth something and stashed it, finally exiting the game and using the auction house search function, manually input the stats for each different item in order to evaluate the value of your item only to realize it is worth nothing more than 10k gold. (Every piece of gear I need to get to act 2 is selling at 2mil and above per piece) That means I am going to be stuck on act 1 inferno for a very very very very long time with little rewards. That is time consuming and unsatisfying for a hack'n'slash game. It is like playing E-bay in a supposedly hack'n'slash action RPG game. The auction house IS a good idea for some, but it generally puts of the majority of players that are not into Chinese gold farming style. I know some friends that play D3 to make money. (What they told me) They only play it to farm for gold and items to put on the RMAH once it is out to make some money. That is what they see Diablo III as. To me, that is like getting a second job. Congrats btw. Last edited by Ronteque#1950 on Jun 6, 2012, 9:33:46 AM

really, I don't know...
I'm playing it mainly for the rush/speed feeling of fights but I think I mostly hate everything else : -story is boring and insulting, our character over voices are a shame, every npc never stop to speak all the time even our mercenary blocking vision of fights -items aren't sexy at all, I've never (absolutely) had the feeling to find a good or interresting item, no special powers on legendary they are just like rare with less random crappy mods, AH strictly mandatory or you eventually get in a death loop -if you want to have a good dps you die a lot, but with nearly no penalties, I hate dying a lot... it's more like an MMORPG mechanics when you have to learn fights while you die (raid boss) -hit boxes are gigantic sometimes, you get hit even if youre actively and visually dodging, no collisions between players characters (sorry but for me in an ARPG characters cannot share the same position) -life leech don't work well a pain for melee characters... ... nearly everything in fact, but the killing of mobs and the character's mobility is good so I'm playing it untill PoE open beta... ... nothing

The itemization in Diablo 1 is 500 times better than in Diablo 3.
U can customize ur characters in Diablo 1, u actually have to level up skills by doing skill book runs (by resetting the game) In diablo 1 i actually like to find a unique item, but in D3 i just dont give a shit. In d1 the graphics are not cartoony. I would rather play D1 than D3, but of course D2 has way more ingame content than D1. Still, its very sad that i would prefer a game from FUCKING 1996 over a game from 2012 SRSLY WTF?????????? If you want a cartoon piece of shit full with bugs, bad story, bad itemization, lack of items, removed content, bot gold farmers, pay 2 win / farm for 5 years to win, shitty voiceacting, and just a huuuuge lack in general for items. I know d3 should not look like wow, but that does not me that they could not include some more items damn it. Path of exile has way more items than d3, D3 only max lvl 60, D3 no scrolls like in the old games, and if they were in the game they could have added a new ones that did cool things, like scroll of companion but this was not added in the game for some reasson, accounts getting banned for no reasson, accounts getting hacked, monsters going into town in act 1, ppl using trade scam in the trade window, bugs that causes items in the AH to be deleted, bugs that makes Tyrael kill all monster if u die in act 3 and dont respawn, bugs that are keept secret and bugs that are not found yet, bugs that causes .... The game seems so short too, i mean, it can almost be compared to a long campaign mission in first person shooter games for each act, atleast if u play on high difficulty. D3 is a complete butcher to the Diablo series, as was CNC4 to the CNC series, the only reasson ppl play this is because its soo nooob friendly that all the noobs who cry when they get stuck somewhere and are too lazy to make a new character and to "use their brain" to make a character that they like. In this game u dont need to use your fucking brain. U just need Gold and thats fking it. GOLD OR REAL MONEY. The game has been worked on for so long, and yet it fells so short that some random browser game could beat it. THIS CLOSED BETA FOR PATH OF EXILE, THAT SEEMS TO BE STILL MISSING A CHARACTER, CAN KEEP ME ENTERTAINED FOR YEARS, JUST LIKE D2. More items, more possible builds and also, reasson to make 2 marauders for example. In d3 there is no reason to make, forexample, 2 Wizards, but in d2 there was. U could make 3 necromancers in d2 if not more. Poison, summoning and bone. U could prob. even make more. There were some weird builds being made, such as a poison dagger only melee necromancer. Stuff like this dont seem to be possible in d3. In d3 its just, u lvl up and u get some random shit that u either try out and like or try out and dislike. IT MAKES NO SENSE. Even wow had more ways to customize ur characters, but this is Diablo, It is supposed to be about making a bunch of different builds, cool loot, cool items, but some ppl who dont get the point of Diablo dont understand it. (Mainly casual noob players who just plays it because everybody plays it). AND WHY DID THEY TAKE OUT THE HORRADRIC CUBE????? AND RUNEWORDS AND CHARMS?????? HOW THE BEEP IS THAT AN IMPROVEMENT????? Srry for this rage, and i hope i did not offend anyone. Diablo 3 COULD have been soooooooooo epic, but it turned out to be soooooooooo epic FAIL, that my brain simply cannot understand. |

HELL NO.

" Thats not even a respond. Plz tell why it is "HELL NO" or i will just consider you as a random noob typing in random things that dont even make sense or have a point. |

diablo3 fails in every aspect.
storytelling - fail (suited for a 4-year-old) story - fail (boring) voices - fail (annoying and boring) classes - fail (most skills are useless, no skill swapping due to magic-find-buff) difficulty - fail (normal to hell: easy, inferno: frustrating... you need to buy gear to get through there) loot - fail (you only find crap ..you need to buy the gear (as intended)) visuals - fail (way too bright, no atmosphere whatsoever) i probably have forgotten some fails. but seriously, dont get this one. it's cheap, boring, and annoying. |
