 Diablo 3 wasn't a failure by any means. Don't think your represent "the players." It has two more expansions in the works.

The game launched with minium content, no PvP, major server issues and a P2W AH. how was that not a failure?

Can you please tell me what a failure is then?

 Game launched with plenty of content. More than Diablo 2 had actually with more on the way. Server issues lasted all of a week. The auction house has no effect unless you choose to use it. How can a single player game be pay to win? For a single player game a failure is a game that does not sell or does not work. Failures of single player games are pretty rare. 

This have nothing to do with how bad this game was, why do you think the game have a rating of 4.1 on metacritic from the playerbase?

Because Metacritic is filled with trolls, as is every other "user review" site :).

 Metacrtic is a haven for the perpetually disgruntled.

Im sorry but these guys lose all credibilty once they bring up user reviews on metacritic.

Any sane person knows that a couple thousand trolls can effect a score on that site because the millions of people enjoying it are actually playing the game.

Look at MW3 1.7 user score yet that game has millions playing it a day lol.

So people hate portal since the score is 9.5, and the only reason is because the "trolls" are upvoting it?

While you are right that the game its self is some what lacking in a lot of areas, I do not think you can call being the fastest selling PC game of all time a failure....

In short, I do not think that word means what you think it means.

The Game might not be great, but over 6 million copies sold is hardly a "Failure" infact it represents a massive success.

Are you seriously trying to argue how Metacritic's user scores are a reflection of whether a game is any good?

Seriously?

quote from myself where people are refering to "Diablo 3 sold alot of copies, but the game was a failure in the eyes of the players.".

I know the game sold alot of copies, and it was a succes for Blizzard.

This aint  a troll post but in reality do you think there time is over?

hardly.

What happens is that people look at the forums and the complaints and thinl that the forums represent a majority. Then the games sell many copies and rinsce and repeat.

There are people who love WoW and love Diablo and Star Craft.

This doesn't mean they will always be the highest grossing game company but there time is not over at all. It just might be over for some players.

What a company that probally makes billinos every year?

In one word... NO

Do I like their games... Only blizzard game i really enjoyed was the D1 and D2 the rest of their games for me suck.. but it dont stop them being a massive games company..

oh i lied i totally forgot they did rock n roll racing... that was awesome

Cata sucked... SC2 was only 1/3 of a game, and Diablo 3 was just an auction house... so Blizzard jumped the shark right after they released WOTLK...

I agree... I miss the days of getting a blizzard scratch pad in-box too...

Yet they sold like 50 million copies and its the number 1 played MP FPS game on consoles... 

 

Yes it sold 50 millions copies minus the 30 millions......

No. Diablo 3 bad. Star Craft and WoW are still mega cash cows. Oh and even though Diablo 3 was bad it still sold an insane number of copies.

I don't think you understand what "jumped the shark" means.

Considering Vivendi wants to get rid of them I'd say their future doesn't look bright.

In my eyes a company is on decline when they start producing a product with less and less features, quality, compelexity. All these games are succesful, bet everytime a game is launch with missing feature, they lose some customer. They know they will sell a lot because of their name and the franchise. Look at Bioware, Dragon Age 1, then Dragon Age 2 wasn't as well received, Mass Effect, the third one wasn't as good, it still sold base on the series, name and the fact that it was the series conclusion and now SWTOR, yes they have sold around 2 mil copies, so yes it's succesful, on the money side.

Wait so 20 million sold isn't good? also that was from 4 months ago. 

I was mistaken though, i believe the 50 million sold number was MW2,BO and MW3 sales combined. i forget where i read the article.

Dude Diablo 3 isn't bad... it just hasen't recieved the "Make it awesome" expansion that D2 got that saved that game from dying.

D3 is less than 2 months old.
