I dont get it personally.  How does a game D3 get so many box sales and awesome games with way more meat barely register on anyones minds or playlist.

Marketing through game websites.

Look how much articles this website already made about Diablo 3.

 

Not to mention all the other little facts, like

 

ROFL...... ;)

 

Bought reviews have been factually proven by more than one incident.

Blizz fanbois and apologists also have a factual evidence of existing. 

The fact that D3 was not made by same developer team is also not something the general public knows or ha da way of knowing, as proven by both their reactions to Torchlight and comments on Diablo 3.

Please try to argue over the obvious truth that D3 is biggest target of gold sellers and hackers in last few years. Please do. The Account Hacking incident this week that was a huge fiasco on Blizz's part just reinforces it. 

The last point is pretty much supported by marketing theory.

 

So yeah. Facts.

Sure whatever you say..you think you are the first one to pass opinions as facts? honestly, i enjoyed the game a lot and i am one of those gamers who missed out on original game and the sequel. So i am far from fanboy.

But still i can't help but feel sorry for people like you..trying so hard to piss on the succes of D3, but it is like pissing in the wind..only you are going to get wet.

 

From how you talk, you do not really get on what a "fact" and what an "opinion" is

Opinion would be saying that Diablocraft III is an awfully mediocre game made purely as an excuse for RMT trading and the cuts blizz will get from it.  Thats debatable and can be supported or refuted with arguments. 

The fact that Diablo 3's sales are built up upon the misinformation, hype and marketing is not an opinion. Its a fact supported by factual evidence.  Thats not debatable. 

 

 

Also just a note but your second paragraph invalidates the conclusion of  first. :)

So you said the sales are built upon misinformation supported by factual evidence. Source?

You said Blizzard bought reviews and its supported by evidence. Source?

Its true that the same individuals that made the original Diablo (and the not entirely same people) that made Diable2 didn't make Diablo 3. Whats your point?

You then state that D3 is the target of gold sellers and hackers. What does Blizzard have to do with that? Thats like blaming Microsoft for being the biggest target of real hackers that actually ruin peoples lives and damage companies.

Your bulleted points in a previous post is severely lacking in any facts as well. Other than point 6 which is true for any succesful game (and is by no means a negative).

If you want to spout off using the words "facts" and "evidence" you need to be prepared to provide these facts and evidence or sources. If not, then you are no better than a troll.

great now take that 378million dollars and improve the game

I don't believe you for a second.

If random guy on the internet doesn't believe me then I must be lying.

Why improve something that fanboi's claim is the greatest game ever? Pocket the money and laugh at them for accepting an inferior product. Plan the next inferior product and profit. Blizzard has no accountability anymore due to its fanboi's so why try? Keep repackaging the same game over and over and selling it to them again.  It  happened with SC2, it happend with D3, just keep it going and laugh all the way to the bank.

 So they should take something that is successful and screw with it until what? It meets your approval? Sounds like a piss poor business plan to me.

I knew I wasn't the only one who bought the game, the haters were lying to me!

It's really no surprise considering they gave a free copy away with a wow subscription if you signed up for 12 months gametime.

My fiends still play wow and were saying just the other night on vent that most of the people on their in-game friends list are playing Diablo as in 90% of them. I'd be interested to see the wow figures over the same period as I expect most of them will have migrated from wow to diablo and will stay there until MOP launches.

I forgot about that.  It would be interesting to know.

Personally, I don't get the D3 hype.  It's looks like the same isometric action-RPG from 10 years ago with slightly better graphics.  Diablo looks like a clone of itself and with F2P and $20 action-RPG alternatives ... seems kind silly to buy D2.5 for $60.

i guess maybe most people don't care about graphic styles as much as posters here do?  look how popular minecraft is.

ive never had a problem with the isometric view i actually really like it,  i can barely stand all the first person view games..gives me headaches.

i personally like more stylized graphics then realistic...although i do love skyrims graphics..but too many games that go for realism end up making it look bad and i can't stand it lol.

I'm not surprised...  I have very few friends who are gamers yet I know several people playing Diablo 3, which is several more than I have ever known to play pretty much anything.

I have been playing and it is a good game, very similar to D2, and high quality for what it is.  In my opinion, the high #'s reflect its marketing more than its quality, but Blizzard still 'has it'.

I don't like what WoW has done to the MMO genre but I am a fan of Blizzard and have played all their games (aside from WoW expansions).

lol@haters........take this.

D3 is pure fun. Fact. :)

i had writen this really cool paragraph describing my monk but shitty firefox crashed on me im so switching to chrome -__-

Some of the most fun and addicting experience I've had in awhile.  Just hit 60 tonight and I can't wait to mess around with more builds and gear combinations on my Witch Doctor.  Great game.  I never played D1 or D2 so hack and slash is a little new to me but I must say, D3 has got a lot going for it.  Its super casual, but has super hardcore elements as well.  It doesn't require long gaming sessions.  Its easy to jump in and play with people that are different levels. 

Also, its so fun to theorycraft.  Seriously.  Everybody I talk to loves the fact that you can change your abilities at any time.  I think its fantastic.  One moment I will be soloing and need a strong CC/kite build and the next moment I'll be with some friends and can switch to a super strongmnuking/aoe build.  Awesome.  Can't wait to see whats in store for pvp.

Next step sub fee for content patches

Not sure if anyone has said this yet, but:

With the exception of PvP, there will not be any content patches at all for D3. Only balancing and bug fixes. There's a Blizzard comment about this on the EU D3 forums. Sorry, too lazy to dig up a link now, but search for yourself if you need proof.

6.3 mil? thats more players than WoW....lol

I wonder what Diablo 4 will do when it launches in 2036.

 

Chances are, with how much Blizzard has fallen and how far away from its roots Diablocraft 3 is, that Diablo 4 will be just a facebook game or console-only fps. 

Diablo 4 will be out in 10 years. By that time, you will either just be having kids or buying Depends.

How many COPIES of WoW have sold over it's lifetime? A few more than 6.3 million i'll wager.

Remember, WoW numbers are ACTIVE SUBSCRIBERS, D3 has no subs fee so it's impossible to know how many people are actually playing form the info provided, be careful comparing apples and oranges.
