Beautiful, full of atmosphere, in couch co-op but initially poorly balanced. Simply too easy.

My girlfriend and I like to play RPGs in pairs in front of a screen.
We have played on the PS2 the Baldur's Gate series and Champions several times.
Now we have Diablo III gained us and losgezockt with correspondingly high expectations.
First, you have to hold the many important things are terrific succeeded.
Story, graphics, sound, mood etc are tiptop.
Now to my point of criticism.
The first adventure is for two so simple that it's actually going to sleep sometimes. Normal monsters are always swept away, the same applies to elite opponents take the easy bit longer. However, even a healing potion is needed only in rare exceptions.
Mainly for the boss, the same applies.
We have difficulty, so far before the first of the 4 acts by playing possible already up but adapted has not changed much.
Furthermore, so many good items from defeated opponents are gedropt that traders are eigtl. Only because to sell the collected stuff.
One is hoarding the money then, because the things the merchants seltenst
can compete with the things found. The same is true, unfortunately, for the forging skills, even if you reached the highest level since.
We play with monk and demon hunter, the latter is still the icing on the cake for the poor balancing.
The base damage caused the demon hunter has in 5 evening sessions from 800 to more than 41000 !!!! developed.
The bonuses for the various nasty Spells are (rapid fire / arrow Hagen) yet, which incidentally also consume barely "Mana" (Hatred / Discipline).
So even Diablo himself has not been a challenge. Although the cinematic intro lies hope to another Act 4.
Ultimately, this meant that we in the evening, for lack tension moments after no more than 1 1/2 hours simply tired were ....
Too bad.
We can only hope to begin after completion of the fifth act again immediately with crisp difficulty and new Heldenvon forward.
Update: After playing through the 4 act we have a new difficulty level.
This balancing the skin finally back.
Opponents are sometimes very demanding and the traders have finally time
something that is worth to buy. Now it's finally about and we look forward to the adventure mode and the development of the other characters.
But still there's a star now.
