It only scored an 88 on Metacritic for instance. And 8.5 on Gamespot.
Those are pretty good scores, you know?
I don't get it, why do people think that those scores matter? What matters is the user score, that is the most accurate measure of the game's status. The sad thing is that the user score for Diablo 3 is 4.1 on metacritic, compared to the critic score that is 88. Critic score is based on shallow criteria. Sure the game is fun in the beginning. But Diablo is a game that is meant to be replayed over and over, kind of like Diablo 2/LOD was and that is where the USERS of the game have the final say of the quality of the end-product.
Face it, Diablo 3 is a mediocre game. And I do agree with the OP +1. Just get the refund, the only way blizzard will learn anything.
You do know that user scores are bullshit right? Sites like 4chan and various other troll sites encourge their users to actively post bad reviews of video games. Case in point, Mass Effect 3.
Saying to judge a game based on metacritic's or actually any site's user reviews is just a sign of your naivety.
LOL build diversity in Diablo 1
LOL PVP balance in Diablo 2
You know nothing, OP.
Excuse me boy? Here we go again, yet another fool who has no clue what he is talking about. Please do entertain me and inform me of how unbalanced D2 PvP was.
JUST because I'm slow, and easily confused, are you telling me you think D2's pvp was balanced?
Um yea. It like a chess match, certain pieces had advantages over other pieces, but any piece could beat any piece on any given day. Given the skill of the players matched up, now there were bad match ups and good match ups, like in any great game. Just because you or anyone else in here was bad at the game, doesn't mean the game isn't balanced. That is like me saying Street Fighter is the most unbalanced piece of crap because Zangief has a grab that goes quarter screen, or that Ryu can trade SRK to U1.
You're 100% retarded if you think D2 PVP was balanced in any way. Enigma and other retarded runewords post 1.10 patch just made things worse.
Making assumptions is pretty dumb. How do you know he didn't farm his gear? Or got lucky with early drops and sold them for millions on the AH?
Even assuming he paid for his gear, so what? It all comes down to time == money. If you want to spend time farming your gear, that's one way to look at it. If you rather spend money, why does it matter?
And PVP isn't supposed to be balanced, so not sure why the pvp complaint.

And I hate self righteous pricks who feel their morals make them superior in all avenues of life, including video games. Fuck you.
