I've waited years beyond the four you've been teasing for this title to release. You, Blizzard and Activision have had a decade to make it, you've had years of beta, you had open beta, you've had experience with large game launches, and you knew the pre-order numbers; and yet you ignored all this data. You've opted to not secure enough server capacity to serve those that have paid you for your product and have denied them access to it. You enticed everyone with pre-order installs to boost sales on the promise of being able to play immediately, and now we are left with no recourse with an nontransferable digital copy.. I thought better of you. You have proven me wrong.

Got to play it for about 5 minutes before connection errors. If a game fails at being fun, it should fail any review. I hope Torchlight II is better than this crap.

This game is just bad. You can't log in due to **** servers. It is only 2-6 hours long. Real money auction house Graphics that are just appalling. Retcons its own ending. No Pokemon like in WoW.

This game deserves a 37 out of 100 or a 3.7 out of 10, The game fails to connect wont let people join or play because of it, and Metacritic keeps deleting bad reviews.

I give this game a solid 1. And thats being fairly generous. From a long legacy of brilliant games which truly defined RPG games, D3 has reduced the series to something else, its not the game it should be. Its overly simplified to the point where you could most likely teach a chimpanzee to play it. On the opening day, its riddled with errors, which normally would be expected but not from blizzard who run the biggest MMOs in the world. SC2 and WoW. This is a game which was developed for 10 years, I feel I could have gotten a degree in software writing, rendering, modelling and texturing and made a better game in the same timeframe. The lack of single player feels stingy and irritating, as the previous 2 games were primarily based on single player. The cash shop allows players to pay to win, the annoying thing is of course that you cannot choose to not play with these people as there is no singleplayer, playing the game requires you remain online. Similarly, the feel of the game, that is, the music, the texturing etc isn't in a unique style. Personally it feels cartoonish and unrealistic, so much so that the 128 colour graphics of d2 are more realistic. The music feels like they were trying to improve on a masterpiece by rewriting Tristram's theme. If you have played Diablo 1 or 2. DO NOT BUY THIS GAME. If you haven't and this is your first game ever, there's a good chance you may enjoy it. Overall, all of the changes have been for

12:01 AM PST was the official start of my licensed time to play the game. Despite the fact that things will undoubtedly get better with time, I am unable to play the game because Blizzard has failed to uphold their end of the contract. Not only have I wasted my money tonight on an unplayable product, I have also wasted my time.

See here, kids? This is what happens when you add unnecessary, ludicrous DRM to a game that doesn't need it. But let's put that aside and suppose that it was just an anti-piracy measure. Do Blizzard honestly want us to believe that they are too poor to afford servers able to handle launch loads? Didn't they run an open beta and didn't they know the amount of copies sold? Cause to me it just feels their strategy was to frustrate the people, who are most excited for the game, to the point where they give up and the servers finally get functional.

This game really sucks the doodle. Blizzard have rooted our buttholes once again. I fear I am to become the most hated editor in the history of gaming news and reviews. But before you go ahead and judge me on my shortcomings as a human being and write thousands of pieces of hate mail and death threats to me, read the review. I have my reasons for not giving Diablo III a perfect score. Plenty of them. But hark! What's this? Yes there are plenty of good things to go along with the bad. It is Blizzard after all, and they aren't known for making horrible products. So blaze on intrepid readers, I promise I'll be fair. So first of all, I have to begin this article with a few words about the state of affairs with Battle.net and all of the bugs that are popping up in the game. I really am surprised about all of the complaints that are flowing into our mailboxes about problems that people are having with the game. We aren't even Blizzard, and we're getting a ton, so there are sure to be quite a few very unhappy gamers out there. The first thing that blares in my mind, and made me a bit wary of problems in the game was that the first day that the game was released, there was a patch out for the game. Ummm... yeah. You shouldn't need to download a patch right off the bat. And there is already another patch on the way. For the most part, I haven't experienced most of the problems that people are talking about, but one of my characters (a 17th level sorceress) did disappear after I logged onto Battle.net for the first time. I had already downloaded the patch and installed it before I started playing the game at all. Downloading the patch was what was supposed to be causing that glitch, but I guess it might just be logging onto Battle.net that was the problem. And Battle.net has been a big problem. After severely underestimating the amount of people that would want to play their game online (guh? Count the preorders maybe?), the servers crashed, burned and then bundled up in the corner weeping like Tal after being slapped around by Vincent on one of his "bitchy" days. To their credit, Blizzard has been working on the problem trying to fix it, and has managed to stabilize it quite a bit. But after people are paying anywhere from 55-70 dollars for the game, you would imagine that it would be a bug free, finished product. Oops. Now that I've gotten that out of my system, I can continue on to the actual game. If I repeat myself a bit during the review, please excuse me, I've been battling the same monsters over and over for the last 2 hours straight and it's kinda gotten to me. ( the game only lasted 2 hours some **** finished it )

Completely unacceptable. You do not as a professional company promise consumers a product on a due time, fail to then deliver it on time, and not even allow the consumer to use their product they have legally purchased. All this does once again is drum up support for piracy over DRM since we find once again those who haven't paid are somehow granted more accessibility then those who paid. This entire issue could have been easily avoided were competency and logic applied to this release. Sadly they have shown more value for making revenue then supporting their loyal customers on this day. Do not be fooled by the promises these large gaming companies will make you. They will not ever deliver anything more then a product stripped of as much artistic integrity as possible in favor of appealing to the majority. tl;dr save your money and play Torchlight 2 or PoE. Both are cheaper and better planned out then what has become another brick in the growing wall of incompetent game companies

Thanks for the DRM blizzard. Really. But of course the 'real' reviewers will overlook this fiasco, being bought off and all. Online single player, they said. Would be flawless, they said.

The storyline of Diablo 3 isn't very well done and it's very sub-par compared to Diablo 2. The graphics are not modern and are on the same level as PS2 game. The gameplay is not great either. It's been very simplified compared to Diablo 2 and the Real Money Auction House is a let down. Overall, I'm not happy with Diablo 3.
حقیقت تلخه ( مخصوصا برای من که دیابلوی قبلی رو در زمان خودش بازی کردم) ولی باید قبول کرد. پاک کردن این ریویو ها از متاکریتیک هم دردی رو دوا نمیکنه. نسبت نظرات منفی(حتی با وجود پاک شدن) به مثبت حتی از دو برابر هم بیشتره. بلیزارد از هر لحاظ خراب کرد.
فراموش نکنیم اینها طرفداران COD نیستن که بخوان BF3 رو خراب کنند یا برعکس طرفداران BF3 نیستن که بخوان COD رو بی اعتبار کنن. اینها طرفداران دیابلوی بدون رقیب هستن . واقعا یکی از بدترین روزها در تاریخ گیم بود. دوستانی هم که هنوز نخریدن ( فارغ از اینکه نت خوب دارین یا نه) اگه از من میشنوید نخرید.
