So, I was planning on getting this one. I really was. I have read a lot of articles on what to expect, and I was thinking "well, I've played Diablo 2, and this is supposed to be similar...Now I'm nervous." So, I played in the open beta, and I got exactly what I expected. What took me back a step was the server issues. It took me two hours to log on to the beta. So, I read a lot of reviews of Diablo 3 since it was released, and I am not happy. I know I should make my own opinions, but I'm a little on the poor side right now. Things that upset me a bit about Diablo 3: Not a lot of gameplay innovation, I always have to be online to play it, servers not working, accounts being hacked, average graphics.
None of those things I have read were good. I wasn't impressed with the graphics, I didn't like the gameplay that much to be honest. And, the cherry on top, I can't play it without an internet connection!? That pisses me off. I like to play games, online or off. I do not think that the player should be forced to be online to play. Say I wanted to play at my parents house while I'm visiting. They have a mobile hotspot for internet so their internet is limited; or I'm visiting my grandmother who doesn't have internet. I know I should be spending the time with my family, but that's the first example I could come up with. The DRM is not fair to the player. So, sadly, I do not think I will be picking up Diablo 3. I know a lot of this opinion is from my impressions from the beta, but everything I said stands true.
In other news, I'm trying to pull together enough money to get Dragon's Dogma and Max Payne 3. I'll be sure to post something if I get that around. So, until next time my friends, See You Online.
