No seriously I NEVER played the first games. Why is a game like this so short and if its that short why all the hype? I have no idea about this series or how it works in game. Like BF3 single player is like 6 hours long but the multi I have almost 200 hours in. Thats worth 59.99. What makes this game so epic? Not trollin here. Learnin'!
To me the game was playable, more for the time, effort and enjoyment, involved in leveling. The upgrade trees are very extensive and time consuming. But they were very fun and well done..
The effects were always top notch and the game ran like a champ. I'm sure the graphics engine will be gorgeous as well.
The story was good enough but Diablo concentrated on making you feel really immersed, more so than the story, in the past. To me it shined in that aspect. There was a lot of ambiance.
Multiple playthroughs are actually like standard on diablo for me. The various characters offer so much differentation, that they warrant an individual playthrough. They were really fun classes to play and all were very well rounded and thought out..
I hope the same is true for Diablo 3.
I hate the real money, for game money thing though. It changes people.. It ruins games..
