I personally consider D3 to be a better game than TL 2, so if you enjoyed TL, you will most likely enjoy D3 as well. They have made quite many improvements since launch too. I would say go for it. It is well worth those 60 bucks, imo. Playing: Nothing atm My game concept thread: http://www.mmorpg.com/discussion2.cfm/thread/369707 (any feedback appreciated) |

If your into these types of games, I'm sure you'll enjoy it, at least for a few weeks...the only problem for me, was repeating the story over and over to play at a higher difficulty. It got too repetitive for my taste, after going through the story once....I felt like I had already beat the game and there was no point in playing it any more. I'm sure others like to continue for the gear and what have you, but to me....been there, done that. It was a good game though, if only to play through the story.

It's worth it. Especially if you are comparing D3 to other games. The people who might say no are usually those that don't like D3 because it's NOT D2. D3 is a solid / fun game and if you liked the trial /starter edition then you will like the rest of the game.
To get to the higher difficulties, you have to beat the game multiple times. Some people are turned off by this, tho I don't really understand why...other than they being lazy and wanting to skip to the highest level right away. These are the type of people who would prefer to do away with leveling in MMO's and skip right to the max level raiding. |

no buy the 4 pack of torchlight 2 for the same price. Give 3 copies to your friends for christmas, have more fun in a game not hampered by a million design descisions designed to get you to splash the cash on the rmah. Have fun not teleporting to town every 5 frikin minutes. have fun playing on a difficulty you like and not having to slog it through noob mode first. have fun with trully random maps, not maps with 1 or 2 minor changes every playthrough., |

Yes...After the last patch the game has fixed all the issues I had with it at launch. The loot drops are great now, monster power setting rocks, I never use the AH like before when I was forced in to it to keep my gear up to date. The story line is fine and the game is fun. I find it better then D2 to each their own. You do have to repeat the story line each play through so your mileage may very on how you stand with that. |

It is a good single player game. I spent myself good 200hours to it and had fun. If u are gonna play it as an mmo, no its not worth it.

Personally I thought D3 was a step back for the franchise, and the online only/RMAH were big turn offs for me. That said, I would recommend buying it on sale if you want it, but it was not worth $60 imo.

I definitely got my moneys worth. I enjoyed the game and had lots of fun playing it. It does get a tad repetative having to play thru the story so many times. It's not that big a deal tho. I am on Act 2 of Inferno and having a hard time progressing because i need better gear and I don't want to spend real money on gear and the gold auction house seems expensive. I don't play it too often anymore but I played quite a bit for a few months.

Bluntly.. nope. Even with the changes the game is not worth the price tag. I would dare say if you could get it at half off it would still be a bad investment IMO. The game is short and the soul of the game design screams money grab. I occasionally pop in to mess around because it was my wifes first ARPG and she likes it well enough because it's nothing like any of the other games we play together. If I had gotten to try the game out beforebuying it theres no way in hell I woulda bought 2 copies. Memories of the good ole ARPG days caused me leap before looking. I keep hoping that they are able to turn this POS around and I can get my money's worth but I won't hold my breath.

I'm loving the game now, as my signature attests. I hated the way inferno and endgame was designed initially. It's fun leveling paragons and upgrading my gear along the way. At some point I may hit a wall, but they've done a great job. It's far and away a much better game than Torchlight 2 and Path of Exile. They've done a very good job of approaching D2 in terms of quality and replay value.
I finished inferno today after having quit on this character early in A2 on release. The MP levels are a wonderful addition. |

If you see no good or you see no bad in a game, chances are you are bias. |

Are you a fan of Diablo 2 and really enjoyed that? Then no, try TorchLight 2 or Path of Exile.
Its not to bad I suppose but for someone like me who enjoys dungeon crawlers, its the weaker of the three newest dungoen crawler choice. Torchlight 2 provided me with a lot more play time and fun. Path of Exile has also provided me with fun just waiting for beta.
If your into the old style dungeon crawler, focused on player skill and knowledge of the game, then diablo 3 is a poor experience. |

I don't find the addition of paragon levels too be that much fun. In the end it is nice to know that the time I just spent slaying baddies wasn't totally useless, since I didn't find an upgrade.
MP levels is useless for most of the playerbase. The only ones that enjoy it are those already well geared players farming ubers.
The one change I did like with 1.0.5 is that item affixes are determined by monster level. Switch to MP1 to farm acts 1/2, or stay on MP0 to farm act 3. Either way it gives players the feeling that they can actually find an upgrade. |

I bought the collector's edition and I feel I got my money's worth out of the game. I was a little jaded at first as I was a huge fan of D2 years ago, but the more recent patches have improved the game quite a bit.
I would still say to wait until you can find the game on sale. It is a shame that you didn't look to get in to the game when Toys R Us was selling copies of D3 for $15 or so. |

If it were f2p it would be worthwhile.
