So after playing diablo 3, despite its many flaws, I think its definitly the better game

Who are you and why should I care what game you like better?

Imagine comparing an unreleased game to a 10 year Crapsterpiece.

What is ? the 10 years is the D3 ? so the 7 years is the PoE. And with that logic, both are not released yet, since we are waiting for their expansions.

And d3 is not being 10 years on development, you must to be misunderstood, only indie games get to develop a lot of years, You can easy develop a game for 2 years, and talking about BLizzard, huge company.

"Development on Diablo III began in 2001 when Blizzard North was still in operation, and the game was first announced on June 28, 2008, at the Blizzard Worldwide Invitational in Paris, France."

Your second paragraph doesn't make sense. Are you saying that Blizzard can't spend a lot of time developing their games because they are a large company? If so, that is absurd. Blizzard is known for taking as long as they please to make games.

Everyone deserves to have an opinion. I accept yours but I don't agree with you. You definitely lost me at this: "Chris you got a great character building system but its fucking broken. Make something where I can use puncture, cleave, shockwave, and leap slam all on the same character without it sucking than you got yourself a diablo killer.".

Why not just let me use everything with one char and done...oh wait, we have D3 for that >.>

Of course lets not forget everyone spams a single skill only, as it is very hard to have multiple skills with enough supports. I would like to see need for using different types of attacks in fight, but right now the most diverse thing I do with my melee chars is switching "melee splash support" with "added fire damage" or "damage on full life" gems before boss fights.

So tired of reading about unimaginative players imposing their own limitations on the game.

Here's a run down of the skills my level 60 hardcore marauder uses:

Infernal Blow + Melee Splash + Increased Melee damage + Endurance Charges on Hit (Main attack)
Heavy Hit + Life Leech + Increased Melee Damage (single-target attack)
Flame Totem + Iron Will + Fire Penetration (supporting dps / distraction)
Determination + Reduced Mana
Enduring Cry (useful when monsters cannot be stunned)
Enfeeble (Useful for heavy-hitters)
LeapSlam (For getting out of trouble)

Yeah, that's right. A single 4-linked skill, a "worthless" flame totem, 3 unsupported skills and a single aura.

People suck and need to stop reading build guides because it stifles their creativity completely. There's more to the game than party-face-rolling docks or grinding maps until your eyes bleed.

D3 may be a good action game but it failed horribly at being an ARPG.

you're very critical of a game that as of posting HASN'T BEEN OFFICIALLY RELEASED YET. wow, game that's been in official release for over a year, is on it's first expansion, and was backed by a multi million dollar studio is better than a game in it's beta made almost entirely off of player donations. wow, you thought this through buddy. and you even said it yourself that diablo 3 has the worst action game atmosphere ever. my experience was diablo 3 was "hungering arrow, hungering arrow, hungering arrow, oh he's tough throw mines, hungering arrow, oh i died in one hit because i didn't click smokescreen fast enough."

Actually I agree with him that Diablo3 combat is a bit more interesting than PoE.

being a lightning striker the only thing i do is put curse and spam lignhtning strike most of the time where as with my monk i have the ability to setup burst damage for example.

so there is a greater dimension in combat in D3 than in PoE.

but D3 has zero customization which sucks.

Tbh I don't understand people saying D3 is better in early game but PoE is much better for end-game and long term play. Everytime I tried to level an alt in D3 I was getting sleepy as hell. The early game is boring. Why do you think there are so much people selling their PL 1-60 services for months now on d3 forums ? The only thing that can make me play d3 for like a few hours every 3 months is that powerful feeling and the fun you can get with a top end-game character, but that keeps you in the game for a very short amount of time.

D3 really is an O.K. game for something like maybe fifty hours playtime.
But thats it.
After that its best to simply leave and move on to the next game.
There is nothing much to do anyways.

And this comparison...
You may or may not like PoE.

Either way it doesnt change a thing about D3 beeing the way it is, good for a few hours, complete waste of time in the long run.

For an hour or two yes.
But its getting boring pretty quick and completely pointless after a short period of time.

Most fun i really had was playing witchdoctor mp10 lvl 1-inferno.
