Clearly i'm in the minority on this. 

Obviously, you do see the appeal.............

FarmVille Surpasses 80 Million Users

Farmville doesn't cost $60.

...... Well atleast Blizzard PR didn't screw it up like Disney pooched John Carter. Anyway good for Blizzard. I hope those who play are having a good time. I unfortunately have really no interest in playing nor any incentive to buy. Most of the people who have purchased that I know have been bitching about the UI and window changes. Most have stated is a clone of D2 with better graphics. But whatever I could care less

Biggest launch crash ever. I have an account but won't be using it. Makes a nice statistic for Blizzard though, congratulations to them.

2036 pfhhh, not sure where you get your info from... I hear it's 2066. (That was sarcasm)

And there are just as many who think it's the bees knees.

Your point being what?

more people think shadowbane sucks than diablo 3, and that is saying something.

Damn... here you see you stupid beta haters !

Game is awsame , cant wait till work is over and I can play again !!!!

wonderful. this is a clear signal to other game makers that it's okay to make their games require being online because whatever crap they shovel at us, we'll eat.

thought it was gonna fail from reading all the topics around here lmao.

 

Hahaha...don't take these forums seriously. people love to hate Blizzard here. They have been gunning for WOW to fail for 5 years now. Diablo 3 was going to be a huge success, there was never a doubt in my mind.

I book marked this to rub it into face of all the haters.

Can I bookmark your comment when Blizzard starts chrarging you a monthly fee for a single player game?

and I am going to bookmark your comment for everytime I need a laugh.  Its an online game and I have not played a single second alone, just saying...

Well I think thats the problem. So many people who didnt even play D2 but have heard a lot of praise for it basically just assuming D3 is a better version of D2. I caved and got D3 even though I wasnt planning to, and its an alright game on its own but it just doesnt feel nearly as awesome as D2 did back when it came out. Even my gf, who isnt a gamer at all but saw me playing D2 a few months ago and liked it and got hooked on it herself, and now tried D3,  is like "this one isnt as good as the 2nd one". She was excited for D3 after seeing some videos of it and thought it looked great, but she is only mildly interested in playing it after giving it a try and keeps bugging me to reinstall D2 on her laptop.

Blizzard Entertainment has released some astonishing numbers a mere week after the launch of Diablo III. According to the gaming giant, Diablo III now sports over 6.3 million players worldwide.

Will be the last time, I guarantee you. Such an incomplete game, with enormous server issues and now ONTOPOFTHAT the mass amounts of accounts hacked.

Blizzard has to be really really careful with their next title. The customers tread more warily now... I for myself know that I will never ever again pre-purchase or pre-order ANY TITLE IN THIS WORLD AGAIN.

For the record: I pre-purchased TSW, GW2 and Diablo. And NONE of them was worth the money (excluding GW2...for now).

wow, now that's a huge number for a launch.  must be doing something right haha

My question to you is did you play either of the first 2?  Cause if you didn't then you have a valid question.  A first time player to this franchise would say something like this. 

Currently in nightmare working towards hell.  Normal mode you are there for the story after that its just about loot, challenge and whatever random quests you might not have seen before.  I've always loved this franchise.  This one has not disappointed.

Did you purchase the first 2 diablos?

Grats to Blizz. They still know how to make and sell game designed for their loyal customers.

Funny fact - those who fail to grasp that it's online game, much like say LoL or PoE(hey, I can play it solo why it has drm), call it DRM.

Anyways server problems are already gone for me and I have stable and fun experience.

More like 6.3 million accounts being hacked haha. What a mess. Fun game though. :D

No, I did not play the first two.  They just didn't look interesting to me.  I did play Baldur's Gate and Neverwinter Nights and various other similar D&D titles back then.  I enjoyed the crap out of those.   They seemed....deeper.   Whereas Diablo strikes me as meaningless hack n slash.  Nothing wrong with that if that's what you're after.   I guess with all the hype and development time I was expecting something more.
