Diablo III

When this game first game out, there was an auction house implemented early into its release. This auction house was used so players could sell other in game items to other players. This auction house was necessary at the time due to optimal items for your character being nearly impossible to find on your own. Blizzard realized this was a bad choice and decided to both remove the auction house and add an expansion pack known as Reaper of Souls.

The expansion allowed you to get many more tailored item drops to your character. The item drops in the expansion were so improved that it makes most of your old items from vanilla Diablo III basically useless. The expansion is more fair to play through if you do own it. You actually don't feel as hopeless when you're finding items from monsters. The items you'll find a lot of times are actually good, tailored to your specific character.

Well that's some good changes they made stated above. What I still dislike though is that you can't trade unique items to people unless you found that item in the same game session as that other person was in. Also, after 2 in game hours have passed, the item becomes account bound.

If you want to duel your friends, you have to duel in a very small area. Unlike Diablo II where you are able to duel literally anywhere as long as it's not town, in Diablo III you're heavily restricted where you can duel your friends or others. Diablo II also had a much higher max player cap. In Diablo II, you could have up to 8 players in a game session. This allowed team duels in the Blood Moor for example. You could have 2v2v2v2, 4v4, 3v3v2, or even a straight out free for all, a 1v1v1v1v1v1v1v1. In Diablo III, game sessions are limited to 4 people only. This means you lose a lot of possible social interaction that you would have had if you were with more players at once.

If you're looking at this game for mainly PvM or Person vs Monster action, it fills that role well. If you're looking for a true successor to Diablo II, I've heard many others suggest a game such as Path of Exile which is free as far as I know.

I still do play Diablo III however. It lacks many elements that I wanted it to have but it still plays solid enough to play to pass the time. It's only worth playing at this point if you have the Reaper of Souls expansion pack though.

It does get repetitive without a true duel system and that is a pretty big flaw to me. Diablo II's duel system is what kept people constantly farming up bigger and better items so that they would dominate on the battlefield against other players.

Oh well, there's always hope for if or when Diablo IV ever comes out.

I give this a 6/10. Playable but not ideal in my opinion.

One Day i was with My friend and he asked me: Hey wanna play Diablo III??? I was like What is that?

We casually started new game and he teached me to play and After that evening, i Brought The game like an instant.

One Day i asked same question from My other friend and he was like Okay, sure, why not. So we started new game together and he liked It so Much that It was My first Time hearing from him that he actually loves playing video game and that made me so Happy.

So Every single Time when School ended we rushed to My Place and started play It with My Playstation 3, Until we finished It.

And After The first Time we finished It together we made a promise that we Will come Every year Back to this game and play It. I was so Happy that i actually cried.

....

Friday night, bored out of my mind. I start playing Diablo III on Adventure Mode and an hour later, it's Sunday morning. To this day I still have no idea what the heck happened.

Time just moves differently when you're playing Diablo.

I bought diablo 3 at launch expecting it to be a good introduction to the diablo franchise. The first problem stems from the abysmal launch where it took me and many others hours just to log in because of some "error 36/37". At the time i didn't care because I was excited when i played the game and created my badass Demon Hunter and then I found another error, the lack of character customization, i think the demon hunter's have awesome male and female models but the other characters don't meet my appeal. I played upto level 20 on normal difficulty and enjoyed my experience upto that point, until i realized the game was, point, spam, done without any interesting equipment. I learnt only a few weeks ago that the devs made the equipment deliberately bland for normal to encourage people to play on inferno, however i was unaware of this at the time. Some other issues i have with the game include graphics and atmosphere, the game is surprisingly low ended graphics wise with the only exception being the cutscenes which are phenomenal, and i was lead to believe that diablo 3 would be an extremely grim and disturbing world, it was meh... One praise i have for diablo 3 is it's boss fights which i found incredibly entertaining and the dialog in towns and with the companions (specifically the templar) Here are a few bullet points to outline diablo 3 +Great cutscense +Great dialogue +Great boss fights -Horrific launch -below average graphics -repetitive nature -tame content (no mature focus) -boring loot

If i were to recommend a game similar in play style, Torchlight 1 or 2 (though i have briefly touched upon the games they are miles better than diablo 3)

I knew something was wrong from the beginning of the game, when it felt like it was more about getting the biggest number of all time, than being immersed in the world of dark fantasy, listen to The cranking sounds of dark gothic music, it filled more like an amusement park with looten.

If it was not for my friends, I kidnapped to play this game with me, I would never have gotten through it, because it felt so empty it was just about hitting things with numbers, in the later half of the games when the numbers begin to become hundred thousand and a million, it loses all meaning.

It was hard to give a damn about the story because the game, pushing me to go back to killing stuff and getting more weapons with colors that, stats I didn't read I just looked at the arrows. The game wanted me to not look at anything but the numbers to give me the feeling of dopamine.

I remember playing Diablo 1 and 2, marveling at the horror and the Terror of it all, it filled like a world that was field with Darkness and mutilation, now this feels like a World of Warcraft version of it and I hate it.
