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 sport has been out for a couple of weeks now and that i feel that I can finally give you, the readers, a good review (the truth is I've been too busy attacking the darkness to write one). It has been twelve years since Diablo II (D2) was launched so I've been waiting eagerly for this game, continue reading to ascertain if the wait was worthwhile.

When you 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're accustomed to. The inventory product is the same grid and gear slot based window. Items have similar stats as with Diablo II, however with damage per second (DPS) already calculated for you personally.

There are five classes in the discharge of Diablo III; Barbarian, Monk, Demon Hunter, Wizard, and Witch Doctor. The barbarian and Wizard should feel familiar because 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 also the Witch Doctor is comparable to the Necromancer. The Demon Hunter takes the place of the Amazon but is just somewhat similar.

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

The internet only play doesn't bother me an excessive amount of when i played D2 exclusively on battle.net to experience with my buddies. At first it had been annoying because the servers had issues on launch, but I played Wow for 6 years therefore it just felt like any normal patch Tuesday or expansion launch in my experience; following a week things been feeling relaxed and 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 in your friends list can join your game whenever they want which may be dangerous if you are inside a boss battle and all of an abrupt the boss is extra hard because it scales up for that new players. However, if you as well as your friend wish to play together, the fast join feature is a godsend towards the multiplayer facet of this game.

The auction house is a nice addition to the game; After all the in-game currency auction house, not the actual money auction house (RMAH). I have used some of my precious gold to get myself some new weapons and plenty of gems for decent prices and have sold off a number of my un-needed equipment for some decent gold increases. I do not intend to partake in the RMAH when i dislike micro-transactions and together with a number of other people have the Blizzard cut is too much.

The graphics are a fairly weak facet of farmville. I'd say they are on par with 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 cutting edge for the reason that department. The sport is full 3d unlike D2 which had 2d sprites, and the spell effects are nice. But overall they are lacking.

Was the game worth the wait? I think so. I am enjoying it a great deal and love playing with friends. I have just got a few characters into Nightmare so I have a ways to go before I play it all out. I can also observe how this game can get old pretty quick as despite 5 classes to play through getting to level 60 doesn't seem like an enormous undertaking. D3 continues to have a couple of months left in it for me I'd say.

In conclusion, D3 is really a fine game if not a shining gem. It feels like an all natural increment within the Diablo franchise from D2. The gameplay is familiar and super fun. The story is engaging and for those fans from both previous games it ties up some loose ends. IGT gives Diablo III a 9 on the d10 of hack and slash adventures.
