This game took years to develope and this is the best they can come up with...speechless.
This was my mpression. I kept thinking 'after all the years of news and hype and this is what we get? Where did all that development time even go?' Yes I know that wasn't all of it, but like someone else replied any developer knows that first 30 minutes is a big deal. Even if it does get better, it means they threw out one of the basics of game development and didn't even attempt to replace it with something else. What else did they skip I wonder.
Except that they did change it. The premise is the same, but they took everything that made D2 amazing out. There is no character customization anymore.
Blizzard has never done character customization. (significantly, I mean) Even with WoW, the choices were very few and everyone looks like everyone else. City of Heroes, Aion, now that's character customization. Blizzard has never put effort into this, so I'm not surprised Diablo 3 still doesn't include it.
Didn't get to play yesterday, servers buying busy and all, but when i played it a few months ago in the closed beta, it was..well, kinda okay, but not what i did expect from Diablo III, given that i loved Diablo I and II and Blizzard had all the time and money in the world.
I played Diablo II just a few months before i got the closed beta invite for Diablo III, but i didn't touch Diablo III again until yesterday after i had played through the beta once back then.
I'll wait to the day's end when the moon is high And then I'll rise with the tide with a lust for life, I'll Amass an army, and we'll harness a horde And then we'll limp across the land until we stand at the shore
Well the first 30 minutes of diablo 1 and 2 was not the bloody brilliant either, and they seem to have turned out well.
Personally i found it about as captivating as the others... Good for a short while here and there but not something i care for in the long run. But since i get my for free it could ghit on toast for all i care.
But i guess diablo fans had painted a picture clos to the second comming of christ/nirvana/valhalla/*insert religious rapture here* and it is no way anything can live up to that. It should all be the same but completley new and revolutionary...
That's my thought. Unless I missed something, I was able to do one mission, on one difficulty (although with all classes) which was, as pointed out earlier, basically the 'tutorial level'. I get the idea that it is a "stress test" part of the beta, but it really comes across as more of a "come try and get hooked" demo more then anything. I didn't really get a chance to try co-op mode, so not sure why they would need to stress test single-player mode...you know...unless it were always online :P.....And before anyone jumps on this, I'm not complaining about what they put out there, I just don't think 'beta' is the right label is all.
minor rant aside, It was a fun. It gave me my Diablo fix which was all I expected. I don't agree with all the decisions for this game, but it seems like it will still be fun and a nice little time-waster with friends.

P.S i just wanna point out u r judging a game from a 5% playable beta? Do u not see the problem with this? Its just like me not knowing u at all and seeing u for the first time and say "ya hese gay...look at how he dresses."
Personally i think its a enhancement to what Diablo 2 was. i loved D2 played it for years. Its nice to see D3 was not a myth.
This game took years to develope and this is the best they can come up with...speechless.
I played WoW, and I used to say that Blizzard hadn't made a good game since they launched the Starcraft expansion Broodwars. Warcraft 3 was kinda a good game because... they did something new to the genre, with the hero centred RTS.
Now they launched Starcraft 2, and it was just a highly polished 1990 game. And it could look as if they are doing the same with Diablo III, getting just a meh reaction.
Blizzard got big because they came up with big ideas and launched them in polished games, but all these years of doing nothing but stealing ideas from others to put in their WoW, they forgot what made them big in the first place.

Exactly, people are getting down on others for their impressions, but they are saying it will be good, based on nothing but hope...It's like hey, 'x' opens up and is less railed when you get higher, 'x' game gets better once you reach level 10! Probably 80-90% of the people that dislike the beginning experience of something, even if given more time will still dislike the game, and they will then be out money for a paper weight.
If they are on the fence, I would wait till it goes on sale, then you won't be out so much money, it may take a little while, unless you don't care about spending the money....We all waste money on things, so to some it's not a big deal either way.

I'm not sure if it's D3 that's dull or the genre of game that it is. I used to like hack n slash games before MMO's came along...now they all seem very shallow and pointless. I tried playing Torchlight as well and it was even less fun than D3.
And I do agree with others that it doesn't really feel very diablo like. I think the music isn't very good or there isn't enough of it. We all rip on SWTOR but it felt like the most complex game ever made next to these hack n slash games. I can't imagine why it took Blizzard so long to make this.

I liked it, eventhough I am not into top-down RPGs. It felt polished and nice, the only thing I din't like is that it's fully online.
having it online is a godsend. all those hackers and dupers ruined the 1st 2 games. keeping info server side will eliminate, or at least keep to occasional isolated incidents that blizzard can control.
also, they plan on adding pvp at some point....how would that work unless its online?

Now it all makes sense. You have 12 systems. You are totally allowed to judge the game by its 5%, while at the same time screaming at every and any person who doesnt like the game, because you know, they only played 5% of it.
how dare they, to say they dont like the game, after playing just said 5%.
Sorry but with the money blizzard are making they should be putting out better quality products..the next wow epansion is pathetic its just the same as the rest and the engine can barely run it. They are a cheap ass company that make huges amounts of money and a put very little of it back into their games.
I played for several hours last night. I tried the different classes and I have to say I'm not impressed at all. It's not groundbreaking, it's not better, it's really just D2 in a prettier package and with a cash shop to boot!
I was really hoping for something better. It's too bad that sequel games have to follow the same formula as sequel movies.
I just found it to be meh at best. I kept thinking it was going to get better but it just kinda stayed the same, follow the blacked out path, smash baddies when the map opens up, rinse and repeat.
You done well, I managed 1.5 hrs and then uninstalled. How many years did it take for them to come up with this tripe? I don't know about calling it Diablo, more like Diabolical. Even those that do buy it, I doubt it will keep them interested for more than a week. If its people's intentions is to make money on the RMAH, well good luck with that.
That's my thought. Unless I missed something, I was able to do one mission, on one difficulty (although with all classes) which was, as pointed out earlier, basically the 'tutorial level'. I get the idea that it is a "stress test" part of the beta, but it really comes across as more of a "come try and get hooked" demo more then anything. I didn't really get a chance to try co-op mode, so not sure why they would need to stress test single-player mode...you know...unless it were always online :P.....And before anyone jumps on this, I'm not complaining about what they put out there, I just don't think 'beta' is the right label is all.
minor rant aside, It was a fun. It gave me my Diablo fix which was all I expected. I don't agree with all the decisions for this game, but it seems like it will still be fun and a nice little time-waster with friends.
Unless I've misunderstood.....it IS always online. Even the single player campaign must be played online. This is one "feature" that I don't much care for. Most RPGs don't require being online so if Comcast is having one of their loser attacks where they're not up for some reason, you can still play a game. But not so with D3. It's all online, co-op or not. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying this is the biggest problem with D3, that's for SURE. It's just a tiny annoyance in comparison to other things that have been mentioned.
I'm not sure if I'll get D3. I do have it pre-ordered at Gamestop, but I might end up blowing that off. I don't feel strongly compelled to buy it and the things I'm hearing aren't increasing my desire, so.....yeah.

if you want d2 with better graphics, don't get it. if you want an absolutely mindless hack'n'slash, go for it. on the other hand there are plenty of other games that fit the latter description, and they aren't $60. if you really want to play it, wait until the price drops. as much as i hate to use this term in a negative sense, d3 is casual in the ultimate sense of the word. no thought is needed for it at all.
I was on the fence when it came to Diablo 3 but the only major problem I have with it is not being able to distribute stats. The skill system is fantastic and much deeper then Diablo 1 and 2. The skill tree from 2 pigeonholed you into certain builds and most people only a few skills were effective anyway. In 3 even a single skill can be changed drastically depending on the runes you use and change the way you approach the game. The music and bits of lore they throw in really keep with the essence of the Diablo franchise. The classes are all unique and fun to play. I can forgive the graphics and having to play online if it means less cheaters.
A whole lot of hyperbole flying around here. Granted, most who comment on boards like this have no idea of the discussions that go on when developing anything let alone something with a rich history and associated expectations.
As others have rightly mentioned, Blizzard is caught between the two mindsets of game design - do something different or stick to the formula that worked with the first two in the series. They clearly have stayed the course and leveraged the past paradigm, appealing to those who are looking for that. Sure there are some changes around skills/traits/runes, but it doesn't make or break the game. As previously mentioned, with D2 if you strayed from the cookie cutter builds, you weren't remotely effective at the highest difficulty. Don't hang on to the illusion of choice as your reason to denigrate this limited look at the game.
For my part, it was fun but a known experience which doesn't detract from it. If you're expecting something revolutionary, you need to reset your expectations. Now, Lineage Eternal does look like they're expanding on the gameplay set forth in the Diablo series and I'll look forward to seeing more of it.
Given how limited the public experience is with the game at this point, it's pure petulance to make the sweeping claims that this game is boring, etc but D2 was the diametric opposite. At the levels that matter, they're effectively the same game and if it were fundamentally different, you'd be screaming about that. Any excuse to have a tantrum and always based on rhetoric and not reasoning.
The internet is an amazing platform for some people to showcase their deficiencies as a person.

Don't hang on to the illusion of choice as your reason to denigrate this limited look at the game.
For my part, it was fun but a known experience which doesn't detract from it. If you're expecting something revolutionary, you need to reset your expectations. Now, Lineage Eternal does look like they're expanding on the gameplay set forth in the Diablo series and I'll look forward to seeing more of it.
Given how limited the public experience is with the game at this point, it's pure petulance to make the sweeping claims that this game is boring, etc but D2 was the diametric opposite. At the levels that matter, they're effectively the same game and if it were fundamentally different, you'd be screaming about that. Any excuse to have a tantrum and always based on rhetoric and not reasoning.
The internet is an amazing platform for some people to showcase their deficiencies as a person.
