I was for a bit but I got a little tired of it, I was in HC Season 1. I don't know if the season rolled over but if it did I probably won't play it again for a while.

I haven't played since 2.1 but Reaper of Souls is a pretty good expansion.

I still can't figure out what's supposed to be so much better about it. It's like slightly better than when I played it in 2012 or whatever.

There's uh, more content I guess. I don't know. It's still a mostly slow paced unresponsive indie-feeling loot game with a bunch of "cool" stuff that's just disappointing once you consider the game it's in.

reaper of souls is a paid fix that turns a poo poo game into a pretty good one. but when the competition has giant free content patches all the time and bliz is going "hey this patch we've been working on for 9 months has uhh minor balance changes enjoy the new season!" ehh

theres also just nothing to do. get to 70, get torment-ready. run rifts. ohh you can run rifts over and over again but the same monsters have more hp and more damage. repeat forever. no endboss. no goal you're working towards. just get higher numbers for the sake of it. no thanks

thats fair. but i find it hard to enjoy said content when i think the actual gameplay is boring as poo poo

This is my problem as well, and I knew I was doing it to myself whenever I got deep in the endgame and was trying to get perfect rolls on poo poo. The number of junk legendaries was just too much compared to actual build defining ones, and it really sucked the fun out of it for a while for me.

PoE and D3 are both good, for different reasons.

That said probably the worst thing about Diablo 3 and it's a pretty bad thing is that in a lot of ways nothing really matters until the level cap. They all kinda get boring grinding endgamey like that but in Diablo 3 a lot of items before level 70 are only as good as they quickly level you to 70.

There is a demo out on the 360 and PS3 marketplaces. I played it on my 360, and it wasn't all that bad.

I like it as a HC having to restart experience then most of these ones I've played but also it's like in the seasons there's no reason to think it's impressive that someone is paragon level 500 and they only recently added stuff that seems like an actual feat, whereas I imagine like in D2, in PoE there's a point where you have to risk your neck to level up at least at any reasonable speed.

not if you have unique varied content to tackle at the end. of course you're going to run out of things to do but at least the other games (poe and marvel heroes mainly) have poo poo to loving do at the end and all sorts of rewards to work toward.

diablo 3 is a slog of a grind until 70 and then gear grinding for...i dont know. you can find a set that lets you perma summon the barb's ancients that's badass. now you can kill poo poo faster. uhh that's it
