Bought D3 yesterday for my wife. She loves it.

Though as a hardcore Diablo II fan, I'm not impressed. I watched her play some. Characters look very WoWish and overall the whole game graphics look like it is at least 5 years older than it actually is.

At least a PC exclusive game is doing well though, although really they could have released this on Game Cube.

I do agree that the graphics are very low my computer runs it maxed out and it should not be able to do that to any new games. I have found many things in D3 that are very similar to WoW.

So you people want a tech demo instead of a game that people can actually run and enjoy? :confused:

it often drops to fking 30fps(half refresh rate) on my GTX570/1090T. the engine is utter shit.

Nobody I know has had this problem, so I wouldn't say the engine is shit. It does have some really unusual resource management though. It completely rips my HDD and puts a dent in the CPU, but my GTX670 barely gets used. They really should make it so if you have better hardware it switched up how it uses things.

I never spend 50-60 bucks on a pc game, highest i spend is 29.99.
I think all PC games should cost 29.99 IMO.

Game was designed for low powered korean pc rental shops in mind.

That's not graphic lag, that's lag from the game having to keep reloading the death graphics. :D

The game was designed to run on all kinds of systems. It's what I'd do if I was developing a game.
No one seems to moan too much about Minecraft's graphics and the fact it's bandwidth usage is horrendous.
Just saying ...

Point is that for me 60$ is not a steal, but very pricey from my point of view, especially for a such a crappy game.
60$ for a game is not the same for people earning 600$/month and 6000$/month. So please, let's not generalize things here...
Lol..for that awesome game, 60$ is for free. 100$ still would be awesome deal. And if smb from Europe or America writes that it's too expensive, than he's just a noob.

Yeah, they should lower their prices to be more charitable.

Indeed! They need to make games more expensive. Especially poor Blizzard. They are barely making any profit, right?

http://www.marketwatch.com/investing/stock/atvi/financials :laugh:
And how is it that they make such a big profit? Because in free economy if something is good, people can appreciate it by money. And Blizzard is the best so they have a lot of money.
And if you hate fun, you can save few bucks and not buy Diablo 3. The price is set, now its your decision.
