I love what I have been able to play. First bought used on e-bay only to find out that blizzard game keys are one time use only, seller refunded my money quickly after we found out. Bought a new game to find out that the new driver for AMD graphics cards the hd 6000 series and older have an area shortly into game that freezes it up. Only way for me to play farther in the game is to get a newer AMD graphics card or an nvidia graphics card. I really like the game but will have to wait to play more till I can buy another graphics card.

Having played Diablo 2, I had some high hopes for this game. When I started playing it, I noticed that the monsters were too easy to kill even on hard mode. The interface is not very good and it is difficult to find anything in the towns. I think they should make a 6th act for Diablo 2 and really not concentrate too much on Diablo 3. Pretty much a poor effort from Blizzard.

A great fun, dungeon crawler, that adds a lot more depth then your typical style. I truly enjoy it and as a Leveling up Demon Hunter, truly love the game in its glory, decent replay value (but after a while can wear on you). Though, many will disagree, I have been a Diablo fan since the first one, second and the expansions and beyond. A Diablo fan will truly appreciate the attention to detail that Blizzard put into it and of the environments and story pulling you in and Love the voice-acting (I recognized a few folks in the industry right away, a few took me a minute). though, still can be a bit expansive, I cannot complain as if you keep an eye out over time there are always deals popping up all the time, ^_^ (but, just happy as the others there is not a monthly fee, though, its all Online (not all a bad thing), sometimes I wish I could play through the whole game offline as well and then after upload and unlock all the achievements (and auction house, nice touch...) (though, years from now, hard to say what will be available, but at the moment, fun. ^_^Read full review
Hi, and thanks for reading our review. This game has been in development for just over a decade. Activision Blizzard has decades of experience in launching online games. Armed with this knowledge, you would think that after millions that have been spent in development, plus a ton more on advertising and marketing that Activision Blizzard would have enough hardware and servers to insure a successful launch of this highly touted game. Well, sadly you and we would be terribly wrong. Save your sixty bucks and wait a few months to get this game cheap and keep checking reviews to see if all the errors have been corrected. As of this writing, the game is completely unplayable and here's why; 1) If by chance you are fortunate enough to actually get logged into one of the servers, you are asked to create a character. Easy enough, but in our experience, we were booted off the server seven times before actually being able to create a character (called a hero in this game). 2) There is plenty of substantiation on the single player disaster, so allow us to move forward to after 30 minutes to create a hero to the slow motion play. I kid you not, the game plays for an average of 7 to 14 minutes in slow motion before you get exited out of the game. All this plus a plethora of error codes and messages that would cause most people to seek refunds immediately. Obviously Activision Blizzard never bothered to invest in enough server capacity to even come close to the demand. 3) You can't complain to them, as the company actually took down their "battlenet" common area supposedly to use those servers to help with demand. They didn't help! 4) The stock price plunged today by .40 cents, which wouldn't have been a big deal other than the stock trades in the $12 - $14 dollar range. Forty cents is significant. Investors figured out quickly that once again Activision Blizzard had ruined the launch of this game. If you own this game, the only way I have found to actually send a message to complain is to find the investor page on the website and email them from their. I would encourage everyone that ponied up the $60 bucks and much more for the collectors addition to do just that. Here is the link: http://investor.activision.com/contactus.cfm Again, thanks for taking time out of your busy day to read our review. Take care and we hope you find a playable game. UPDATE 8-29-12: I think it is only fair as I was so direct in my opinion of the terrible launch of this game, and it was TERRIBLE, that I now amend my opinion as the company has LISTENED to the many gamers and have had several updates/patches that have dramatically improved the game. You will find that this game is very rewarding in it's current state, but there is still significant room for improvement. Stay tuned for future review updates, and thanks for taking the time to read this.Read full review
I have not completed the game yet, but I wanted to chaime in, seeing some ridiculous ratings. A game of this stature, to be given a '1' rating is a obvious fraud. There is no way to rate such a phenomenal game, so low. I do not work for Blizzard nor do I work for any subsidiary, but I have played Diablo 1 and 2, and 3 is every bit as engaging and fun. I am not a 'fanboy/oi' nor do I stay awake at nights fighting hordes of creatures for that last drop. I started playing with a good friend, and we made it all the way through normal mode of Diablo 2 LOD, and had a blast, after some colorful words here and there, as even she as a veteran, would often die. We loved the challenge, the amazing artwork and the skilltree offerings. We enjoyed the loot drops and having to find perfect combinations to enhance our armor to have a shot at some of the very tough bosses/creatures in the game. I find it amusing, that a game of such high quality would get even ONE '1' rating, let alone any '2' ratings. I can see someone going with '3', and given the childish , snide and uncalled for remarks I've seen on blizzard forums, I can tell you for sure, its spilling over here too, and its lameO. Offer opinions, we need them, but let's be honest, not ad hominem. This game, if you are truly honest, deserves at least a '3' rating. To do less is showing your immaturity and distasteful atti'tude'. I get that some are angry over AH/RMAH/balance issues, but, those are being worked on from what I've seen from the PATCH news from Blizzard. Everyone whined , wondering why its taking Blizzard so long, and now that they released it, its taking more whining. MOst are a very vocal minority group, using childish words and usually not being specific when they say what's 'wrong' with the game. When they are asked to elbaorate they finally do, and then everything changes. If you can't post here, or on Blizzard forums, - and do it respectfully, why bother at all ? WHen you post in a childish, rant manner, your post is NOT taken seriously, by anyone, except for the most radical and childlish of your peers. That is how life works, like or not, and to take the hard work, yes for profit, of game developers who know Diablo fans 'want a challenge', and want it to be filled with monsters and visual splendor and rate a game less than '3' is obviously dishonest and silly. Blizzard wanted players to have a challenge, because we all know that is what games are there for. Fun and challenge. We can't have it both ways, to then 'complain' when its TOO HARD, yet as we speak , such things are fixed in PATCHES. Harkening back to the enjoyment I received alongside my comrad, my friend, playing Diablo 2 LOD, I get the same feeling from Diablo 3's stunning artwork, which is a unique integration of Diablo 2's 2d artwork and now Diablo 3's 3d models. I don't hear that enough honestly, and Im surprised people are missing that, even on Diablo 3 forums. IS it perfect, no net yet,but how many games are on release ? Practically ZERO, and if you aren't willing to be honest about that, why are you here ? AT the end of the day, its just a game, but its clear the developer did their best to immerse us in a visually enticing world filled with cues from Diablo of yesteryear. Games are there to lift us out of a sometimes oppressive real life &/or have a little challenge and fun with our friends. This game does not disappoint , no matter what you may have heard from a vocal bitter few.Read full review
