Diablo III - Well worth the Wait

It's finally time for IGT to review the 800 pound gorilla in the gaming room, Diablo III (D3). The game continues to be out for a couple of weeks now and that i feel that I can finally give you, your readers, a good review (in reality I've been too busy attacking the darkness to write one). It's been twelve years since Diablo II (D2) was released so I've been waiting eagerly with this game, continue reading to ascertain if waiting for was worth it.

For those who have played Diablo I (D1) and/or D2, the controls will feel familiar. There are slight tweaks, mostly using the skill bars, but overall it is the same clickfest you are accustomed to. The inventory product is exactly the same grid and gear slot based window. Items have similar stats as in Diablo II, however with damage per second (DPS) already calculated for you.

You will find five classes in the discharge of Diablo III; Barbarian, Monk, Demon Hunter, Wizard, and Witch Doctor. The barbarian and Wizard should feel familiar as they are close to D2 classes (the wizard being exactly what the sorceress was inD2). The monk is similar to the paladin class from D2 and the Witch Doctor is similar to the Necromancer. The Demon Hunter takes the place from the Amazon but is just somewhat similar.

The storyline is actually fairly engaging for an action RPG and that i found myself wanting to begin to see the distinction between the various stories for each class. The primary narrative is obviously the same but there were small cut scenes that happened at major story points in each act that were different for every class. One thing I loved about the story is they tied in plots from all the way back in D1.

The online only play doesn't bother me too much when i played D2 exclusively on battle.net to experience with my buddies. In the beginning it was annoying because the servers had issues on launch, however i played Wow for six years therefore it just felt like every normal patch Tuesday or expansion launch in my experience; after a week things been feeling relaxed and that i haven't experienced any issues since. I can tell how players without a consistent web connection might have a terrible experience however. It is somewhat annoying that anyone on your friends list can join your game every time they want which may be dangerous if you're in a boss battle and all of an abrupt the boss is extra hard as it scales up for that new players. On the other hand, should you as well as your friend want to play together, the fast join feature is a godsend to the multiplayer facet of farmville.

The ah is really a nice accessory for the sport; After all the in-game currency auction house, not the actual money ah (RMAH). I have used some of my precious gold to obtain myself some new weapons and plenty of gems for decent prices and also have sold off a number of my un-needed equipment for many decent gold increases. I don't plan to partake in the RMAH when i dislike micro-transactions and along with many other people feel the Blizzard cut is simply too much.

The graphics really are a fairly weak facet of this game. I would say they are comparable to 2005 and 2006 games. For a game that has been 10 years in development I'd have liked to possess seen better graphics. But then again Diablo has never been leading edge for the reason that department. The sport is full 3d unlike D2 which in fact had 2d sprites, and the spell effects are nice. But overall they are lacking.

Was the sport worth the wait? I think so. I'm enjoying it a lot and love playing with friends. I have got a couple of characters into Nightmare and so i possess a ways to go before I listen to it all out. I'm also able to see how farmville can get old pretty quick as even with 5 classes to experience through getting to level 60 does not seem like an enormous undertaking. D3 still has a couple of months left in it for me personally I would say.

To conclude, D3 is a fine game otherwise a shining gem. It feels as though an all natural increment in the Diablo franchise from D2. The gameplay is familiar and super fun. The story is engaging and for those fans from both the previous games it ties up some loose ends. IGT gives Diablo III a 9 around the d10 of hack and slash adventures.
