    DIABLO III is just a lazy and average game. Compare it to better games of the genre, GRIM DAWN or PATH OF EXILE and it falls short in every category.
    Blizzard has moved away from the dark gothic look which is unfortunate. The game has a cartoonish look and removed all the gritty dark fantasy vibes of DIABLO and DIABLO II. Old "friends" make a cameo appearance which is more laughable than    DIABLO III is just a lazy and average game.

    The complete second act is an audacity: a simple copy & paste job of act II in DIABLO II.
    Generally the game has been dumbed down tremendously: gone are the various builds and skill picks, as you level you get a pre-chosen skill per level which you can then slot to use per hotkey. You can change these skills outside of combat. Every mage is the same, albeit with different skills (spells) slotted. Attributes are raised automatically and you have no say in the matter (why have them then?). Health potions no longer exist - instead it's a skill now that has a cool-down.
    There are six classes: Barbarian, Crusader, Demon Hunter, Monk, Witch Doctor and Wizard, you'll have to shell out another $10 to get the necromancer class. At least each class can now be male or female, but is limited in the weapons they can use: your Crusader will never wield a bow & arrow, your wizard will never swing a sword.
    The first act is the best (but far from great), I did not like the course the game took after that (desert, heaven, hell), the REAPER OF SOULS expansion brought another good act to the game (If you're willing to pay another $30 that is).
    Honestly, DIABLO III might have the best cinematics in the genre, but neither gameplay nor the setting can hold the candle to GRIM DAWN.    … Expand

    Sincerely, I don't understand the low score given by users to this game. Obviously, it's not the best game of the world if we consider it as being Hack n Slash genre. The game has a great gameplay e good immersion. After some hours playing it, it can becoming boring and repeateable. I remmeber there was a good system of market to sell and buy itens.

    It's a pitty how this game got crucified (rightfully so) because of a poor release. Since then, it has been fixed with a lot of improvements. I've put +1000hrs and it's been quite fun. Doesn't hold up to it's predecessor at all, but a cool game nonetheless.

    Initial launch was a disaster. Game itself is a mediocre at best. Bad graphics, very bad balance. Cartoonish stupid visuals and overall design brought by WoW people, cause they fired original D2 team.
    Very generic story. Replay value is almost non-existent. Play D2 instead.

    Could've been better. The story is weak, and gameplay is highly repetitive. Graphics are nice even 8 years after release. Art style though is not really impressive. Music is bland, can't recall any of it frankly. Controls and interactiveness are ok.

The resource (mana) system is supposed to be the way you work around spell spamming. Cooldowns are just a way to say that their experimentation with different resources for different classes was a colossal failure.

    The entire game revolves around grinding for the best stat sticks to deal what is now comically stupid damage numbers, rather than using interesting items to fuel creativity. All the cool things that sparked weird and creative builds are gone. Wacky and crazy yet powerful things like Beast, Voice of Reason, Ribcracker, all the aura runewords... Nothing like this exists in D3.

In short, the problems with this game come down to how it was designed. There is no longer any single player mode. And it's not just that you have to login. You have to be connected the whole time. I suffered lots of "rubber banding" while playing, in which your player will snap back to an old position due to server lag. As well, the loot drops are all tuned to make the Real Money Auction House viable for Blizzard, and thus the drops are not exciting as they were in the earlier Diablo games. As well, Normal mode is FAR too easy, and thus you have to play through the entire game first before there's any challenge. You know how boring that is?

    The new skill system is neat in how flexible it is, and the graphics and physics are much better. But the actual gameplay just doesn't live up to the massive hype and the four year wait.    … Expand

The amount of reused assets as well as the warcraft-like aesthetic and lighting really ruined this game for me. For years I had been craving a fresh, dark, gritty, and lonesome experience that is iconic to the Diabo franchise but instead, we all got this nonsense. The storytelling is light-hearted and has too much comic relief, it feels more in the spirit of a WoW side quest. Throughout my entire playthrough, I never felt the 'jump-in-your-chair' fear that previous titles had. This game is 'spoopy' at best; like Luigi's Mansion, but it's not even cute. It's obvious that the out-of-touch exec's calling the shots had their heads so far up their a**es that they thought they could just carry the successful aspects of Warcraft over to Diablo.
    Not to mention, the online requirement is essentially the game industry admitting defeat in the battle against piracy. The fact that you make the game more difficult to play legitimately than a pirated version is just the biggest f**k you to your paying fans, but then again I don't understand why anyone would want to pirate this waste of hard drive space.    … Expand

One of my biggest annoyances with Diablo II was that I couldn't play a female Necro, Barb, or Pally (Crusader). Well, now I can. The game has a very rich and compelling story mode, excellent combat, great drop system, good cut scenes, wonderful music track(s), awesome graphics, and colorful characters. I also love how all the classes have their own story as to why they decided to risk their life to aid Sanctuary in the fight against evil. I think my only complaints are... they killed off Cain. That was a HUGE mistake, and the game could have been darker, more creepy. It's too bright and flashy. But that's about it. Remember people, D3 was not made by the creators of D1 and D2. So, I'd say the DEVS of D3 did an ok job. I like it. 8/10. Can't wait for Diablo IV. That is going to be EPIC!… Expand

    Diablo 3 is in my opinion the best game Blizzard has to offer. It is 0 Pay2Win, has allot of character, Paragon system and much more.

You can increase it but you have to do the season journey and with it the stupid SET PORTALS. I hate nothing more than these stupid HELL of SET PORTALS. This is the main reason for my low score. 2. Low stash. In Path of Exile you can just purchase some stash slots and that's all but not in Diablo 3. If you are an item messy then you will have a rlly hard time in this game. 3. By far not enough char slots. 3. Lag 4. Balancing, yes I hate the balancing in this game. They mostly increase the damage the character can do BUT not the defense. What's the point in dealing billions of damage when you die in 1 hit only. I've been playing the ninja Set for a looooong time just because this is the only Set which is tanky enough not to die just by being smiled at. I even have equiped so many gear which reduces the incomming dmg in % amount but still I get ONE SHOT. Guess the Ninja is the only set / class which is left to me.… Expand

The Blizzard I grew up with is no more, this game was little more than a cash grab, nay, a PACK-IN title if you reupped your WOW subscription, a game I never played due to its reputation and the wisdom of awareness...as much as I loved D2, that game was an addiction, that is a direction of gaming I refuse to support. Maybe I'm wrong, but I have my observations. IMO Blizzard has had 3 phases. Pre WOW, Post WOW, and Post Activation merger.

    From what I remember, not that the Diablo series was ever noted for a robust RPG system, D3 did away with permanent skills trees into a more flexible system that could be changed on the fly thus negating much of the personality and uniqueness of ones character, allowing for folk to follow trends and copy whatever is working lately. Seems like a cheat to me. Speaking of character, I thought the game had none. What happened to the gothic, borderline horror art style and motifs, CGI cut scenes that still hold up to this day? Instead the equipment looks terrible, modelled poorly and with even worse design, I think it's fair to say the development team did little to no research on weaponry armor, or really anything beyond what would make a quick buck. Always on DRM, I don't have to say any more. Terrible story, uncreative themes, weapons, really everything in fact seemed like it came out of a lazy brain storm session with the single purpose being a cash grab off the back of D1 and D2.    … Expand

    I was late to the Diablo 3 train as I played it last year. I see that the game's rating has been trashed by the user community so maybe I benefited from playing it in 2018 after a lot of the hitches were worked out by Blizzard. Also FYI I only played the game in single player and didn't really play it online with other people at all.

Also FYI I only played the game in single player and didn't really play it online with other people at all.

    I actually had a blast with Diablo 3 and think it's the best game in the series. I thought the graphics looked great and the game seems pretty optimized to run on lower end hardware (I played it on a Ryzen 3 2200g's integrated graphics). It's great stress relief and so satisfying to to mow through mobs of enemies in a relatively mindless click fest. It's very accessible to newcomers (unlike Diablo 1 which I remember being pretty hard) and delivers that classic Diablo satisfaction so well. I loved how they revamped the skill system so that you don't have to invest points in them like in Diablo 2. Once you unlock the skill you can mix and match them how you want; it works so much better.

    My criticisms of the game are fairly nit-picky. One thing that bugged me a lot was the lack of animations for the class I picked (monk). Monks can equip weapons in this game unlike in some other games, but for some dumb reason the weapons don't actually show up in their hands when you equip them. You just see the weapons sheathed on the monk's back and it looks like they're punching enemies when you attack instead of seeing the monk actually use the weapon. It was so frustrating and i felt it was unacceptable for a triple A title. And the story / character development is not a focus in this game but you can't really expect a Diablo game to deliver on this front.

    At the end of the day, there's no other game that does Diablo as well as Diablo and it's extremely fun. So I'll give it a 9.    … Expand

    Classic hack'n slash, beautifully crafted.

    Building a character is still fun with tons of items and special skills.

    Although some sub-levels repeats itself (especially what's underground) and the difficulty is not that hard in hard mode, this is classic title that defines its category, with great atmosphere packed with non stop actions.

    The cinematics are great and draw you into the Sanctuary, but the dialogue and overall storytelling are lacking in comparison with its predecessor.
    Its saving grace is the highly addictive combat and easy to use interface; just don't play this on the easier difficulty settings because never having to use the health potion due to being impossible to die can become tedious.

    Since the removal of the auction house and improved loot drops and frequency Diablo 3 has turned into a pretty good game. The end game gear is a lot of fun. Once you have used your favorite set piece on your character for a while the game starts to get a little stale but that's super super late game, and what game doesn't loose some appeal once you have played it that much.

That, coupled with the fact that you cannot increase the difficulty level until you actually complete the ENTIRE GAME, makes it very unlikely that I will finish this expensive price tag of a rip off. Oh, and even though I have a very good computer (and internet connection)that plays games such as Skyrim at full quality just fine, there is significant lag and FPS problems, especially during the afternoon/evening.… Expand

    In all honesty, this game does not live up to its predecessor. The story is an insult to the fans. The character development is non-existent.

    The game in one word is exquisite. What more can you expect from an action rpg. I was afraid I was gonna get mindless point and click but in return I received beautiful landscapes, well made mechanics as well as interesting plot. I'm totally on board named "Blizzard games". Btw. those cinematic cut-scenes are amazing.

    Diablo 3 has been a huge disappointment for me as I am a vivid Diablo 2 player. Blizzard removed everything that defined the Diablo franchise, rather than improving on a winning formula and add new and awesome features upon the winning D2 formula.

Blizzard removed everything that defined the Diablo franchise, rather than improving on a winning formula and add new and awesome features upon the winning D2 formula. The people that worked on the D3 version we know since 2012 until today, came mostly from the WOW team or were newcomers and with that they brought with them a mindset and "taste" that is very "Anti-Diablo". On one hand I feel intrigued that I witness this massive scandal and the destruction of one of the best gaming franchises for the sake of "making more money". On the other hand, I am speechless because Diablo has been part of a big chunk of my life and there is a passion deeply rooted inside me. Seeing Diablo be destroyed for whatever reason breaks my hart.

    Looking at "Diablo 3" as an action game unrelated to the "Diablo Franchise", I would rate D3 a solid 7, and a 8 with "Reaper of Souls".

    Looking at "Diablo 3" as an ARPG and being part of "THE ARPG" franchise, its a massive failure, that many people cannot even grasp. I rate it a 3.5 and with "Reaper of Souls" I rate it a 4.

    Winning Formula for D4:

    1. Take D2 - Lord of Destruction
    2. introduce "Talisman" or simply put, a limited-space "Charm Inventory"
    3. Add D3 combat
    4. Add New-Era Graphics with "Time-Realistic" physics system
    5. Introduce new Runewords that will compete with already known existing and beloved Runewords
    6. Introduce new Unique Items that will compete with already known existing and beloved Uniques
    7. Introduce 2-3 new classes
    8. Introduce "Player-Hub Towns" where people can "mingle" and trade by enforcing "Item for Item"
    9. Allow open world PVP, with an option for players to "Opt-Out" from any PVP
    10. Introduce A massive amount of "Quest-Lines" that are "off the main path of the game-story" that unlock "Transmogs", Awesome Hard-To-Get Mercenaries, Bonus-Stash-Tabs, Spell-Effects, Weapon-Effects, Armor-Effects, Specialty items, Respec-Tokens (repeatable quest, and item also has low chance to drop as a normal drop), special Quest Capes that only drop after quest completion, etc.
    11. Introduce Micro Transactions for "Stash-Tabs", "Character Slots", "Transmogs", "Visual Spell Effects", "Mercenary Models", "Weapon Effects", "Armor Effects", "Character Class Voices", etc.
    12. Micro-Transactions fund the development for New Map Tiles for existing acts (which are then randomly assembled during map generation to constantly grow diversity and bring novelty and replay value, while also retaining the feel of "familiarity" to the player through "iconic locations tied to several individual tiles), New Monsters, New Items, New Transmogs, New Weapon Effects, New Visual Armor effects, Etc.    … Expand

    This game was released after more than 10 years of development. The game could not adapt to the new times, where players are used to be able to create their own characters, for example.

The game could not adapt to the new times, where players are used to be able to create their own characters, for example. The always online requirement, the many server issues, the lack of a necromancer (the Blizzard's statement that Witch Doctor was already filling the role and they would never add it in the future), and the Bazaar controversy. They all contributed to the low score of this game. Sure they sold a lot of copies, but they also harvested a lot of disappointed players, myself included. They finally had to release the necromancer in 2017, five years after the initial release, due to much popular demand, but it was already too late. Now most people is looking forward to D4 with the hope they learned from the mistakes. Time will tell if they did. I just hope they don't take another 10 years to release an outdated game again.… Expand

    It's very, very okay. There are much better current ARPGs out there though. Save your time and play Path of Exile or Grim Dawn.

    My one major complaint is that the game never feels very difficult, especially on Normal. There are frustrating moments, hordes of baddies, and increasing difficulty levels, but the same feeling of utter defeat never really happens as it did in the past.

    For all the game's missteps, though, you certainly can't accuse Blizzard of phoning it in - if anything, the game suffers from the tendency to try a little to hard at times to evolve the design. [Aug 2012, p.61]

    When it works, Diablo III is the best of the Diablo games. When it doesn't, all it does is make you mad. [July 2012, p.54]
