Worst major game release of 2012.
Not that any of the major game reviews sites will actually say that in December.
I don't know, you might be surprised. With the honeymood period over I'm hearing a lot of disgruntled owners piping up now. I wouldn't be surprised to see it make a few disappointment lists on various sites around new years. I don't really care about the exploits to be honest, its about how they handle them. Fixing bugs is good, nerfing player used mechanics is bad.
I'm far more concerned with the long term problems like poor item variety, awful difficulty curve, flat/uninteresting story telling and so on. Where's my Magefist? Where's my Corpsemourn plate mail that explodes things? Why does the world suddenly revolve around my character and unfold in a ludicrous YA story? Why does Diablo sound like a weirdly androgynous grandmother with emphysema? Most importantly, what did they do with all of that time?
