The reason D3 is here to stay, is because the game was tailored to the WoWtards, that have nothing to really complain about this game. This is the great divide that has put the stake in the heart for me, (the RMAH is secondary) but the utter disgrace that WoW tarnished the essence of Diablo, is what makes me sad the most.

Has anyone recently watched the Diablo 2 cinematic, or ever seen it? You know, the dark wanderer? Please review it, and see, why Diablo 3 and the Whimsyshire lolipop guild of followers, is an epic slap in the face of all proportions.

Can you tell I despise world of warcraft?

PS4 is like 'a really perfect gaming PC,' says Epic VP.

What a wonderful selling point! So I can replace the video card every few years? And add more ram? Torrent? email?

Dont forget Gearbox brought u aliens colonial marine. Up to you if you choose to forgive them fully and just forget about it. If you dont punish them for it by not buying any new stuff from them then you basically say its ok you can release crap games and we totally forgive you.

So they release an awesome game in Borderlands 2, and a shitty one in Colonial Marines, and because Colonial Marines was shitty you're not supposed to buy Borderlands 2 stuff, even if you really enjoy it? I fail to see the logic here.

DON'T buy Colonial Marines, DO buy Borderlands 2, and you'll send them the message that when they make a good game, it'll sell.

diablo2 =/= diablo3
diablo3 was NEVER ever going to be "diablo2 with better graphics". diablo 3 was always going to be a different style of game with some core similarities.

diablo3 was different and worked for some people and not for others. I *did* play battle.net diablo2 . LOD was released a year after D2? I cant remember exactly as I didnt buy it on launch (unlike D2). D2 wasnt exactly multiplayer sparkling on launch either. There were just as many bots, item hacks and dupes - more so that D3 IMHO. I still remember my games getting visits from bots constantly. Not so on D3 anymore.

diablo3 was ok for me. Ive said this time and time again, for the price I paid I have more than gotten enough entertainment out of it. If you dont like it then dont play it. Indeed, haters are gonna hate.

Iteration? Iteration motherfucker? So explain to me how the fuck you iterated from DiabloII to this goddamn mess....

Do you really need an explanation? 12 years in development never makes a good game. It doesn't give you time to perfect an idea, it gives you time to completely forget the reason you started.

Blizzard has a number of game design values. A postmortem on the development of Diablo III gives us an opportunity to see these game design values in action. Values such as “Control is King,” “Avoid the Grand Reveal,” and “What is the Fantasy.” Ultimately these values are driven by iteration.
