Oh guys, some of you would freak out by looking at the amount of nerdrage people are having over the mere fact that Diablo III even EXISTS.
I have logged into Path of Exile, and with the influx of open weekend, people are SCREAMING, almost literally. D3 is more like WoW, not D2. Activision are greedy bastards who COD-esqued this game. D3 is for casuals. If you like class variety, POE, if you like hacking and slashing, D3.
This only in a matter of mere minutes. Having the time of my life...
I got my issues with WoW but I never understood why taking certain cues from it, as a monstrously polished game full of high end tech and features with years upon years of expensive reiteration and when it took gigantic swaths of ideas and design from Diablo II to begin with, was a bad thing.
It always came across as being contrarian for the sake of it to me. Diablo II was rad but shock horror, game design, clarity of play and polish has increased in the past decade, believe it or not.
