I like that the expansion came out after it removed the guy who was like real money auction is a good thing. And then a game got better.

Jay Wilson was actually considering lowering the Vanilla D3 drop rate for both legendaries and rares and the RMAH would have large ads displayed on the top half of the screen while you were using it. This was going to be implemented post launch and the codes for it are still in the post-launch patches.


But then Reaper of Souls team kicked him to the curb.

You know what might look better on your nose?

The game still has trouble instilling a sense of atmosphere, compared to its prequels.

..But then again, I'm just a sucker for sprites. They leap better off the screen than D3's splodge-on-splodge action.

i think d3 is the best arpg in terms of visuals. not just pure fidelity but knowing exactly what's going on all the time no matter how hectic things get is an achievement.

D3 is a wonderful gauntlet clone. It is not really diablo to me.

you forgot the part where they're all like "+0.1% attack with one-handed swords" and not even cool stuff like "shoot fireballs out of your hands" or "grand upper" or "shoot fireballs out of your rear end"

see i wouldnt even mind that except the balance is wonky enough that certain paths are just objectively worse than others and you really mostly want to beeline to the important big things, some of which straight up negate game mechanics like the one that makes all attacks hit but you dont crit anymore

My favourite thing was how they nerfed +gold find on breakables since some people were standing in a spot all day and breaking vases since it was more efficient than actual monster hunting. That's when you know you have a great game on your hands.

I also remember that the damage and health of monsters scaled so high in groups in early D3 that players would avoid grouping. And the repair cost was so high that starting on Inferno in regular non-AH gear would make you go broke. I personally quit when I'd played Inferno for like 5 hours without finding a single useful item.

not really

there's always a vocal minority, like for instance the people who were making money, but for the most part everyone was happy just to have a game where you progress by playing it.

you forgot smash tv and that coop mode in black ops thats basically smash tv. these ares games better than diablo 3.

Also back when I had my g4 mac I was hooked on this game called Kill Monte, which was basically a mix between kill bill and smash tv. This is also a much better game than Diablo 3

It has two acts now! And they've added a ton of stuff. But it's going off in a weird direction. Like there are branching plot options with different rewards and poo poo
