In another post I made here within the last month I said I'd be back in a few years.
With the exception to this post/thread.
I stumbled across the opening cinematic for Reaper of Souls on youtube and felt the need to post this.
(The 3D part of the animation was actually done really well and gave me chills, the stupid comic book **** they did with the rest is still garbage.)
I've got quite a timeline leading up to the launch of Diablo 3, my perspective on the game at launch and my perspective now on this website.
(2010 - Present) So I'm here to add another to the list, quickly.
I want to let everyone know that Diablo 3 had such a rough start that I wouldn't buy any Expansion packs that came out and that I'd be very weary of any of Blizzard Entertainment's future releases. Which I have been.
I want the record to show that I've never purchased the expansion and won't purchase future expansions.
The "it's so much better then when it was released" is clearly propaganda probably touted by Blizzard.
The core of the game was/is flawed, you can't fix that.
This isn't a true "Diablo" title.
I have played Reaper of Souls with my friend briefly on console.
And about 10-15 minutes in I had to ask him why we weren't dying.
(I hadn't noticed because I was so bored of the game from the start, but he convinced me to try it.)
It turns out we were wearing heirloom items and I'm assuming we were getting some kind of experience boost on top of it all...
or some kind of WoW bull****. (And WoW's a good game, not as good as it used to be, and it isn't Diablo)
He then told me about the leveling system in the game, and how with hundreds of new iLevels or some junk, how he almost maxed out in a day.
Ugh...
What a peice of trash, I never experienced all the new stuff but good Riddance to the Diablo Franchise.
I guess it was fitting that greed and deception would be the series' death.
To anyone out there that may read this one day.
Who hated the "Vanilla" version of the game ... and went and bought the expansion because they heard that the game was improved.
I hope you've learned your lesson.
To repeat I still won't buy any of the expansions, and no I don't need to buy them.
I'm only one person but I'm doing what I can to send Blizzard the message.
A quote I wrote within a week of launch.
Blizzard Entertainment, you %#$%ed upp BIG TIME.
Read my previous posts from years passed.
Thank you, and I'm Sorry to both the few that have remained and/or the ones that like this game for reasons I can't fathom.

Sorry but you don't have any idea what you're saying. 10 minutes on console on normal difficulty and you are complaining? Your opinion is worth next to nothing if this is what its based on. And yes, the game is a lot better than what it was at release.
so you came back to complain after a few years? i don't see your point. Seriously this is one of the worst threads in a long while. Call me a troll or whatever but this is seriously bullshit - Personal opinions presented as facts... give me a break.
Only a pathetic, petulant child would take time out of their day to post hate about a game on a games fansite when you don't even play that game. You clearly know jack shit about Diablo 3. I don't like Call of Duty, but you don't see me posting on their forums to tell them about it.
While i have not played console version, i have played PC from launch (taking breaks as most people have). Yes, the game was mediocre at launch. people had expectations it really couldn't fulfill. Yes, the original release is VERY linear.
But seriously, since patch 2.0, this game has blown past all the original issues. Now, if you were to get in a time machine, and travel back to July of 2000 to play original Diablo 2, you would realize the game was at BEST mediocre and honestly had so many issues that it really didn't reach its stride until LOD came out summer of 2001 (depending on the class you played). now that was about a whole year of kinda boring, kinda crappy game-play.
On the topic of rifts. they are possibly the best thing i have ever seen added to a game since battle.net.

Also, people here should have seen the boards blow up on launch.
A lot of it was from server problems, where people had booked time off work to play Diablo 3.
But there was a good chunk of it on how the game was garbage.
Very generic and bland. The story was just terrible, and in the end seeing the new "Diablo" walk like Marilyn Monroe.
Ugh ...
It was like Reading Rabbit Diablo 3 in Spring time sponsored by Disney.
I heard there's "Rifts" or something, where you fight enemies from other popular game genres.
OMFG on that one...
I heard they made a whole level devoted to Unicorns.
I'd be funny to pass by a Unicorn in Tristram or something.
But Blizzard actually had people grinding unicorns for loot.
HAHAHha aha....ha...................... hilarious ...... nice one, ..... A+ Blizzard.
Garbage.

Yeah.....that is 100% incorrect. So far, that's like 3 or 4 facts that you got wrong. Perhaps you're wrong about more than you realize?

Gentle your post popped up. I'm probably leaving after I type this.
Expectations it couldn't fulfill?
You've somehow got onto some sort of "Forgiveness" train.
To prove it, go to metacritic...
It was BAD.
It still is bad, they've really taken the ADULT out of that game.
And by loving it, they're not going to improve.
It's amazing that you couldn't get over it. It has been about 3 years since release and you are still butthurt.
Those last of us mobs are from the PS4 version of the game. Just one easter egg for the Playstation crowd - WOW SO LAME BLIZZ TY GG GJ +1 ADULT....
Please do.
This thread is not going to be constructive (and OP left anyways), so locking before more people get more infractions...
Stay civil, guys and gals. It's just a game. @OP: Move on if you don't like it, we love it.
