Diablo III review and opinion roundup

[OmegaFenix]

It really is a great game, lots of fun, but to be perfectly honest I am not convinced yet. I think it is a little sad that there is no more skill and stats point system, plus how is the PvP gonna work out? Is it gonna come down to a case of who has the better items? I think the strength of the game largely is reliant on the real money economy it generates. If people can make a sustainable income from playing D3 then the game will last a long time

You will NEVER have a sustainable income playing D3. Sure you could make the odd bit of money towards another game but your never going to be playing Diablo instead of working as that would no longer be play, it would be a job that you will very quickly come to hate and will bring in less than a minimum wage job.

I still want to see exactly how many idiots out there are actually going to spend real world $$$ on virtual shit.

The reworked Skill system is alot more flexible compared to the old clunky system. Bliz have made it harder for the copious amounts of idiots out there to irreparably fuck up their char builds due to not knowing the system. The old system required the player to make a important decision without any prior knowledge as to how the skill plays or fits into the greater scheme of things in your character build. Which led to the internet being quickly filled with cookie cutter builds that everyone copied to make sure the build was "optimal". This system allows me to test a skill and if its shit I can not use it for several levels without having to worry that I wasted a valuable skill point on a now useless skill.
Even adding the ability to respec at a moderate gold cost does not fix this issue. While Kingdoms of Amalur is in no way as well balanced as Diablo 2 & 3 it still had a very good skill system, a system that was easily exploitable leading to completely over powered character that removed any challenge from the game.

Wow what a crappy review from GameArena. Basing his review on server issues and Multiplayer which isnt implemented yet(and AFAIK it's only PVP not full multiplayer that he's talking about), WTF!?

I think its one of those people who are fundamentally opposed to the online only play.

Sheesh, I have to apologise for me saying the guy was a chop. But I guess it does give people here an excuse to rage on people and give their L33t opinions. I saw how he did it, I would have just expected that Blizzard would have made some contingencies for exploits.

And before you start saying something like "He found the exploits, and played the system, well done to him crap". I say bleh :P

You clearly have "feelings" issues. First the dude beats the game and your sad, now your sad that we didn't get why the fuck you where sad about the dude beating the game. O.o

Blizzard can't possibly find every exploint, Diablo 2 was still getting balancing updates 2011, as Bliz gets more Data from people playing D3 they will fix these exploits.

Thats not what you said, if you had said he was a chop for finishing it because he exploited it we would have understood why you calling him a chop, but the way you said it, it sound like you were calling him a chop because he finished the game.
