I wasn't immediately sold...even though the game was part of my WoW annual pass. As I've put more time into the game, I have come to appreciate it for what it is. It's Diablo 2 on steroids and that isn't necessarily a bad thing. Blizzard had to likely make some tough decisions. Stick with the D2 formula and have the gaming community rip them a new one for playing it safe and not being innovative or changing the game enough after 1.2 decades. Or make so many radical changes that the Diablo purists were storming the Blizzard gates. They were fanned either way. Twelve years is a long wait and both anticipation and expectations were very high. I do not envy Blizzard for having to live up to either of them. It's a good game, a great escape and a nice change from the typical MMO fare. Not gonna lie, the always online DRM of the whole thingy is kinda...meh. Latency on a single player game? What? That aside, it doesn't completely take away from another fine addition to the Diablo family. Well worth the 60 bucks and the ridiculous sales...to date.

Meant to say "damned" either way. Darn autocorrect.

Looks like all the doomsayers here didn't try hard enough. |
