Bravo, sir. This review exemplifies everything I disdain about Diablo III. I absolutely regret spending a single dollar on it.

You troll and all trolls should just keep their mouths shut about Diablo because I am tired of people complaining about the online service.

Stop complaining about the online service, they fixed it, you got butthurt on the first day because you couldn't log in, get over it. This game rocks.

RIP Diablo.  May thou RIP

As soon as I was finally able to read the review, after waiting what felt like 24 hours of reading that terrible poem, I knew something was fishy...

Once again, a person who didn't even play the game thinks they can write a review. I'm starting to see a trend of these troll diaries that people are calling reviews. I can tell by your "nothing random" comment that that's the case here. Newsflash. A beta is not a completed game. That's why it's called a beta. Not only did you only play the beta, but you didn't even play THAT long enough to realize that it's still randomly generated. Maybe if you had played more than 10 minutes of the beta, you would have caught on to that, instead of just assuming there was something there for you to hate.

There are certain areas of the game, such as the towns, and some roads that are always the same, but that's how Diablo 2 was, too. The VAST majority of the game is randomly generated. Not only are the maps and enemies randomly generated, but once you get past normal mode enemies start having randomly generated abilities and modifiers. There are even random enemies on the random maps, that have random skill modifiers, that randomly drop entrances to randomly generated dungeons.

As for all of your server complaints, maybe you should stop finding your opinions on forums and check the facts instead, because there hasn't been an issue with the servers crashing since the day after launch. Someone who has played the game a reasonable amount since it launched would know that. I agree I don't like the always online thing, but I'm not going to lie to make it look worse than it is.

Your auction house complaints also fall short because there are two different auction houses. One of them uses in-game money, and one of them uses real money. The use of either one of them is completely at the discretion of the player. You don't have to use either of them if you don't want to. Also, why shouldn't Blizz make money off of real money AH sales? Its someone selling an item that Blizzard created, on Blizzard's system, to another Blizzard customer. That's why they get money. Do you complain when eBay takes a cut of the money from a sale? If you do, you shouldn't, because they took the time and spent the money to create an online system for P2P transactions, and they should be compensated for people using their system. If items weren't getting sold on the Diablo AH, people would just sell them on eBay. A service which is clearly less deserving of the money.

Here's what you do. Actually play the game through and get yourself into Nightmare mode. You'll realize that it's a lot more complicated than you think. Then move on to Hell mode, and complain about it being too easy while you're getting TROUNCED because you have no clue how to play your class. Then come on here and write an apology review and explain to everyone how you formed your entire opinion of this game off of one playthrough of the open beta and what you've heard online. Then explain how your idea of the game falling into your "mega casual comfort zone" was completely wrong. Seriously, it's laughable that you're complaining that the very beginning of the easiest difficulty on the game is too easy. Of course it is. It's a video game. It was the same way in the other Diablo games, too.

You may not like it. You may disagree with some of the changes made to the gameplay. But, to say that this game is so horrible that it should score less than 1 point on a scale of 1 to 10 makes you look like an idiot. I'm not saying that to be mean. I'm saying it because based on the fact that you gave this game a 0.75, and you titled this review with "A new low for PC gaming", when it is clearly a very well made video game, you come off as an idiot to me, and probably a lot of other people.

I think I'm going to sit down tonight and write a legitimate review of Diablo 3. You know, seeing as I've actually played the game for more than 15 minutes so I could form an actual opinion about it, instead of spewing the same complaints I've been reading from everyone else on the internet. It's sure not a perfect game, but I'm tired of reading these joke reviews from people who haven't even played the game or who are going to complain no matter how good the game is, even if they did play it.

P.S. If you're going to write a poem to bash a game that you haven't even played, you could at least take the time to come up with a better one than that.

Brony troll. 0.75 means the game doesn't work. It does, and very well at that. PONY PONY PONY DWAAAAH

Hey haters going to hate play the game or not a lot of people are enjoying it Yolo b*tch.

So you place this "poem" like writing an epic song to a beloved, then you try to make a review as if you were serious even trying to analyze and review the game...

Then you place a 0.x review, showing that all before was a lie... So in reality you don't try to value the goods and the bads, you don't try to see the other side at all or on how the game can be better with some of the options they made.

In reality your text is just a wall of have because you disagree with the some design choices... So you say that the game is not the same:

"only common things are the name, style, interface, viewpoint and the health and mana/whatever they decided to replace it with globes"

So for you what defined Diablo was the rest... the skill tree, the stats points, and the procedure generated terrain (isn't it still the same now)...

So I wonder who failed to catch the essence of diablo... when I was playing, the worst thing the game had was the talent trees and stats points... It was pointless, unbalanced and ridiculously limiting...

So, ok, we all understand that D3 ARE NOT D2 the same, so we understand that changes were made... Else we would have D2 again...

What you failed to explain is why it is worse now!! why the lame static skills you could select plus a few static increases on hp/mana/str...

For me its better!! A LOT! First you have more skills! HEY some more complexity! plus you have A LOT MORE skill (defensive, offensive and CDs) MANY MORE actually, plus a lot of runes that can use to improve them or customize them.

The most stupid thing about diablo was that you had to choose the skills and the points, before you even try them or get to experience it... then you were locked and cant change them at all...

D3 brings love to your char, you choose your skills you choose the gameplay, you pick how you play from how you enjoy it the most and not on how you are forced by your previous decisions.

Its fun, you can make different builds try them and improve.

Plus PVP is coming soon(TM) and you will definitely see the need for changing talents then..

ANW,I'm having a lot of fun playing co-op! and can't really say I have any feelings on "this is not diablo" It totally feels like it, just improved, just more fun and more co-op!

I feel compeled to play better, to get better gear, to get more achivements, to try all difficulties, to replay the game again and again. On D2 I played it once that used a trainer to make my items and to play with coallegues, but it wasn't even 10% as fun as now... Only later when I made a bnet char the game became memorable.

Retarded score is retarded. Anyways thanks, the score you gave has saved me wasting time reading your review. :)
