The STORY is short, but the story was never the strong point of any Diablo games or hack'N'slash in general.
The game is about trading and while steamrolling easy modes (Normal/NM) i highly doubt anyone will go trough Hell or Inferno under 20 hours on their first playtrough.
Wait. Less content than D2, or D2 and LoD? Also, there's one more difficulty than D2X and crafting. I mean, gotta give a little somewhere, but it seems somewhat pointless to compare than outright, really.
this people compares a game, with a game and an expension, wait before the D3 expension comes out before you QQ
I feel like a noob xD I died several times on normal. My wizard getting roflstomped if I didn't pay attention =P
It actually got better towards the end, so guess I learned from my mistakes
finished it in 5 hours without rushing, doing side exploration & looting barrels ect
You're either blatantly lying, or you have no idea what "without rushing" and "doing side exploration" means...
I think I got in 19 hours before my first diablo kill. And there are parts where I skipped through some content because I just wanted to get through it faster.
So, upload screenshot proof that you've beaten diablo and that you only have 5 hours, ot gtfo... 'Ya fuckin troll...
So far I've clocked 14 hours 22 minutes on my main, and I'm only just starting out in act 3. THAT, is with full exploration of all the areas, going at a fairly decent pace.
Unfortunately it is WAY shorter than D2. And act 4 in D3 shouldn't even be called an act, more like a short expansion of Act 3, I finished it in 45 minutes. I also don't like the way they introduced Diablo, it's like I was playing a different game right up to the point of the conclusion of Act 3, and then BOOM, 'hello, I'm Diablo, wasap'.
Diablo was way too easy to defeat with my barb. I have a feeling this game won't have much longetivity like Diablo 2 does, I mean people ARE STILL playing Diablo 2 today, 12 years since. I'm starting to feel that D3 was dumbed down a whole lot. It looks pretty and some cool gameplay, but thats it. I mean my barb looks like Thor slicing and bashing through hellish hordes of demons.
The story is just kiddie crap, I was face-palming the entire time there was dialog. I'm 50-50 split on demanding my money back. Going to switch to torch light or some other similar game. I don't even feel like starting other classes of going through the same thing all over again with just some random caves and holes in grounds to mix it up. I'm surprised it took them 6-7 years to develop it.
I love how all the people whine about it being short and how they wont replay it.. blah blah blah...
The whole part of diablo is the replayability, 3 more levels of difficulty, many events/side quests you have never seen or done. Every new difficulty adds more layers of what to pay attention to, sure you may overpower diablo in Normal, as its possible to out level him if you do all the quests and what not. Harder to do in Nightmare, virtually impossible in Hell, and your cannon fodder in Inferno
Dont get me wrong, i Loved it. but why is it so short?
Yes yes do higher difficulties.. but its still the same content.
Short? Act 1 took me just about 8 hours to finish. The game in total took over 20 hours. If you want to enjoy the game - enjoy the game! Don't rush things.
This thread is pretty funny. So many trolls and so many new Diablo players that they don't even understand the concept of a arpg.
I still don't see how D3's content is less then D2? Okay let's do a very very simple comparison. Imagine D2. You just made a lvl 1 character and want your friend to run you through all the acts and every difficulty. How long would it take? On my 99 sorc i could run people from act 1 normal to act 5 hell in less than an hour. LESS THAN AN HOUR. now imagine someone in D3 is running your lvl 1 character from normal act 1 to inferno act 4. How long would that take? We have no frickin clue but i can bet it'll take probably 20times longer then an hour. Cause even fully decked out with the best possible stats you could have on any character you couldn't rush someone through inferno.
blah blah blah the story is short. The game isn't about the story. It's like getting a christmas present. Think of the story as just the wrapping. The best part of the game isn't the story but what's underneath all of that. The gameplay, the harder difficulties, the item system and trading. This is what makes up an arpg. if you want story go back to skyrim.
Wandering around an endless sea of randomly generated terrain trying to find an exit is not content.
Can a mod just close this? The guy is obviously trolling.
Thats more like it, I bet he doesnt even have the game.

Give them a break, it's their first ARPG. If you want more content and random levels that actually feel random, you'll go somewhere else, amirite?
It's all about finding loot in Inferno! And selling it!
