Diablo 3 - The best RPG of all time ...?

"The best RPG ever,"
"Hack n Slay superlative"
"The PC Game of the Year"

the press rolls over with praise for Blizzard's newest prodigy.

Since I was not at home at 15 I could play this game
until the following day to pick up at the post office, and had me even more annoyed the Kretze. In the evening of the 15th I leave then the first
Reviews here on Amazon, and had to look twice ... but the people could not play. Zig 1 star reviews.
Diablo 3 2/5 stars with a total of ... What the hell is going on here?

Meanwhile, I can understand these people. That not everything runs smoothly on the release date, is not a foregone conclusion.
RIFT eg hat shown that online games can have a good start. And Blizzard, with its WOW Gelddruckmaschiene, should have enough experience and potential to prevent such a failure. Well anyway have enough people bought the game ...
Is not happening, now looked well forward.
Is only a day.

In any case I could then sign me easily and play on the 16th.

Graphics:

The graphic style of D3 is, well, neither good nor bad. Somehow a compromise between acceptable and optics
low hardware requirements (as reported by Blizzard also announced). I find it ok. True to the motto, not nice
but rarely. And hey, I played until recently Diablo 2 incl. Mods. Graphics are just not everything.
Positive the physics engine is to be mentioned. The clothes my Monk flapping in the wind, the torso of a shredded by me goat man ends 20m further in the Pampa and ghouls fall on either side of a bridge, if I charge in their group. Nice, really well done.

Sound:

The background music is, as the graph also useful and non-intrusive. Unfortunately, no catchy as the
Music Theme of the Palace of Lut Gholein from Diablo 2. But as I said, at least not annoying. Plus the sound is the
dt. Synchro and the setting of the diaries and writings. Negative comments companion.
I dunno how many times me my Templar has already asked, how we deal with criminals in my home ... just annoying.

Gameplay:

Somewhere here I've read that D3 can be played by a "blind goldfish" and one for the Inferno mode
rather then ne dove needs ... Very funny, and it is also true. Well, that with the Inferno mode is certainly exaggerated. The difficulty level of D3 but truly ridiculous. I've now played by Normal and'm 1x died in a Champion mob in Act II of pulverizing me with one blow half my life ball. I was just a little impetuous ... :)
Next go in nightmare fashion ... Not even harder. Here are just again the Champions and mini-bosses "difficult", which may have a modest combination of skills with below. The matrimonial bosses are owed even easier than in normal mode, the wesendlich better equipment my Monk.
And so slowly I run out of motivation. Is so stupid always to win.

Control is not a problem. Left and right mouse buttons, 1234 and Q ... That's it. Very simple kept. Unfortunately, it plays out the same way. I hold only the monk as a reference and can therefore not comment on the skills of other classes. But what my holy warrior has so on bag, now is not so great. If you have zeroed in on a Skill duo for the mouse buttons, you use nothing else. What for? Beautiful splash damage with left, surface damage incl. Healing properties with the right. Healing at 1, the healing potion on Q and NEN healing Templars at my side. Oh there's still the Healing Aura on 4 and health regeneration of my equipment. Yawn ... quasi unbreakable ... just only the champions can still be dangerous to me.

A Umstang I find particularly moronic. The level and the skills are not interesting in the first place. Important I equipment. When you reach level X can carry better weapons, in turn raise the damage. Insofar also quite logical. Also, the primary attribute such as dexterity doing this, also clear.

But my Monk is a specialist in unarmed combat. Why the hell they can wear 2 swords that then even more stupid as improving the damage of their punches and kicks? What weapon damage has to do with the magic power of the magician or sorcerer? Preposterous. So you put his equipment only on primary attribute, Vitality, DPS, base Lung and Life-Reg, that was it.
Now you can plow in the best Chuck Norris style by the opponent ... congratulations ...

And those who think now: "Hey Age, game times Hell or Inferno, because you kannste your Life Reg slide in the Popo!" which I can only say: "I want this game but not only 3-4 times by playing to have ne challange"

Well yes is made fixed, because that has a circumference D3 not yes.

Story:

Diablo typical uninteresting. Absoltute incidental and without any depth. No side quests, no character-specific tasks, no further information about the characters. Neither drama or any turns of the storyline. Simply 0815. Out of nowhere appears a hero, everything un boxing at all. Of all armies hailed (Whoa Wei did you do that?) Represents the mutigte warriors to finally quasi Hell itself and saves the world.
Do we know but ... Oh yes the storyline of the parts 1 and 2 was indeed "similar".
Each of the here of "an interesting story" speaks, plays another game. Point.

Presentation:

Owed the graphic, rather poor. It host non spektakulür what's happening on the screen. At no time has it
feel "Hey that's even implemented horny". A few events a la Warcraft 3. Well not so great precisely. Only the videos are awesome. So I make my films, this is not drawn anything that you indeed get every now and then presented. Taking these videos, making an entire movie out of it, you would have this "Wow effect", certainly.

The whole world is going online:

... Unfortunately, Diablo 3. For solo play online. Unfortunately, a trend that will continue. Only Blizzard is a game developer that does not have necessary. Niemend else has such a huge fan base as they. Only the pre-orders of D3 should have blasted away everything. Why then this penetrante Online coercion? My guess: "Greed". As much much coal from the game press, as you can get any. Surely every company is like that. But you can also overdo it. Planned maintenance, emergency Server Down, peak periods and Laggs. Terms know the eingendlich only MMO players now take the Diablo fans. Great dish. Error 3xxx or 3x or 5x or whatever. It just annoying. Anyone who says here, then go stay out of the weather is nice, I say no. I've been waiting for this game 12 years. I want to register equipped with plenty of fast food and cola / Energy Drinks, a week hide behind my PC and gamble this game until either a) burn my computer or I) to the doctor needs because I sat my ass sore b.

Why amerekanischen / Asian servers run better than ours? Well in case it may indeed because I continue playing EU Server Down.
Have to stop just start over.

Topic auction house. Needless. Ruined my opinion the Diablo feeling. Special items are just no longer especially if they are for 3000 gold in the AH. So you can for NEN Appel and NEN egg quality gemstones (who no minimum level) buy and do in his gear. The values ​​explode, and the game is simple yet a lot easier.

Later is still a variant for real money added. Well then there you go. Bin ja mal on prices curious for any items. Which are not intended to move in the cent range (and even that would be too much). Creepy. Definitely there are also ne auction fee where Blizzard earned it. Had an absolute impertinence, and I hope that the largest selst Fanboys and -girls not be support.

Conclusion:

I'm disappointed. I did not expect from Diablo III. A simpeles game that played out far too quickly. The bored with Story and Skill system and urges the players to online bondage. Think of times off the physics gimmick and the setting. What remains for there yet? Then games like Torchlight Sacred or real alternatives, even on slower computers. Or worried you for some 20 euros here at Amazon Diablo 2 Gold. With mods a la Median XL wesendlich more fun to even slower PCs;) ...

Seriously, I wonder what Blizzard has made the 12 years. Probably only 6 are draufgegangen them because they had to come up with a name for the latest Diablo part ... * laughs *

Simply pathetic. One can only hope that an addon or content patch (it was supposed to give now that we also belong to the online community ... -.-) is coming soon, and some rausreisst.

Edit 30/05/2012:

So my devout lady has now also by stage nightmare. Mentioned not very exciting as above. Only the Champions halt, which can go a animal on the nerves. This effect continues to hell. During normal enemies are weggeboxt as nothing, the Champions are here already strong stuff. Critters are have so much life now even "quickly" produce AE-effects such as "melt" or "contaminated" and "block" your escape options. Fun I can only say what has almost real-time strategy ...;) Extreme ways reminds me of this property portfolio of Diablo 1. Are ne door, you spit Felt 5 million critters with acid full and you're in the bucket ... Well one leaves stop the game and tried ne "new" chance encounter, because "run away" is somehow bad. The critters follow a forever ... and ever ...

Topic Auction House * Update *:

If this "feature" in the normal mode is still unnötigt, one is dependent on it not later than hell. One can find quite rare good items eigendlich garnicht in my case. Too many unnecessary Stats or the decision makers are too low. So NEN few 10000 Gold collected together and search the AH for Schäppchen.
Especially weapons DPS is as nuts and bolts extremely annoying. The skills themselves are not better, not so in the sense as Diablo 2. So only the DPS pushing what goes.

Topic Online compulsory * Update *:

Error 37 strikes ... Server overloaded. What some here * reasonable * and * soon disappeared dismiss *, is just awesome. Except for the AH and the dimwitted comments in the chat (which I have now disabled) I've used any online activity. I want to just play solo on. It does not work...
It's just ridiculous what Blizzard delivers there. If you time it, jerky and it lags like hell. Annoying when cut me because of such filth "fire chain" in slices ...

Topic Motivation / Gameplay * Update *:

The air is now I can only say out slowly. The loot is so moronic distributed, it only hurts. If mat is a hard nut to a Quartet Champions with their ugly teeth About Skills almost follows the reward. Gammel Blue, NEN gem and a few gold coins. I Zerklopp 5m further ne ... 300 Gold Vase in there and again opened further 5m ne chest, yellow Item (zwer useless, but still yellow ... :)). Since nightmare the 'right' bosses also drop only blue ... What is this? Now, a further reason why the AH is becoming increasingly important. At the latest with the real money AH is certainly turned slightly to the balance, so that people pay good money for sword XY what Blizzard is then earning. Nehm I at times ...

Dialogues and sequences are only pushed away, my companion annoying without end and I'm running from vase to vase, hoping to find gold, which I then in AH against a few DPS can swap it for more, and then again later to find vases for more Gold. Or any body who just lying around there, then has the long-awaited Epic item ...;) I would not be surprised ...

I'm still pretty much at my starting skills, so boxing me for over 40 levels with the same skills through the enemy hordes. Make newly unlocked simply makes no sense, motivation ole ...

If only the multi-player mode, I'll try it.
