paralitos wrote...well truly diablo got a bad rating because you have to be online to play single player and there was a lot of problems with the servers in the first two days of launch and there still are... just like mass effect's case in metacritic people tend to rush to put a 0 rating when they are angry about something forgeting all the other aspects of the game ..imo metacrtitic's user reviews are a jokeps. diablo was never about the story. loot, loot, loot

that is rather unfair

Metacritic .... Who cares ?

[leapingmonkeys]

Here's the difference - the complaints about Diablo 3 are:

1) Obnoxious DRM which requires access to network servers even for solo play
2) Unstable Servers preventing game play

The complaints about ME3 are:

1) Lousy story conclusion
2) Pre-sales material materially mis-represented content

Diablo 3 problems are mechanical in nature. ME3 problems are content-related.

I havn't bothered to try D3 yet, I've played D1 and D2, it was ok for a hack and slash but I wasn't impressed, I might try it when it hits the bargain bin or I get a good offer though...

It never had a story, not a good one anyway, it was jsut, deamon attacking, lots of zombies and stuff from hell... kill them, then kill some more, they will drop randomly generated loot... yada yada.... more random stuff.

The good thing about the random loot was that it added to the otherwise repetitive gameplay.

The random design of the zone maps was good for replayability I guess but still, I guess it limited the artistic design of the game....

Anyway D3 can't be compared to a game like MAss effect or a sports game or a simulator game.. They are just too different. I know some people who just loaes the diablo games, I tell them what I think and they have to live with it.

I've never played Diablo III but from what I've heard that score is adequate considering the game has an inherent design flaw.

Metacritic user score doesn't mean a full review, but it's not useless.

If a game has a low user score on Metacritic it must have somehow glaringly offended the player base one way or another.

Most good games have consistent meta score vs user score.
Skyrim, witcher 2, DAO, ME2, FONV, just to name a few.

Diablo 3 is not about story, but about MP, killing and looting items

edit: same as World of Warcraft

Can't believe all these years Diablo took and this is what they put out, fun game sure but nowhere near worth $60, should skipped it and just waited for Torchlight 2, still gonna get Torchlight 2 though.

i grew up with the diablo games and i find D3 to be a very fun game and it brought me back a lot of memories... for sure a little overpriced like mass effect was

i tried torchlight the first one but i didnt really like it, i think i am not into hack and slash i was just into diablo for some reason

They're review bombing it due to requiring a constant online connection despite being a single-player game with a multiplayer co-op mode.
There is no reason for the single-player mode to require an internet connection and is a particularily obnoxious form of DRM, hence people are upset.

Diablo 3's story is a joke. It's so bad, so predictable and so corny.

Let me guess...someone was born in London?

throw them out the airlock.

This post makes me really happy

from what I understand a TON of reviewers had problems with servers and they likely docked points for it. I have no issue with that. I think New Vegas had a low metacritic rating for a similar reason (great game but a LOAD of game breaking bugs in the shipped game)

[tMc Tallgeese]

Would've liked to have run tests on Diablo III.

Agreed. ~30hrs epic story, followed by 10 minutes of burning bridges.

This.

But Diablo players actually have a decent reason (still not great reason, but a lot more the ME3 lol)... Some of them had 2 whole days of not being able to play the damn game because of the issues.

I agree that the need to have an internet connection to play solo-mode is annoying, but there is a good reason for it.  For better or worse, Diablo 3 has a real-money market place associated with it.  To avoid abuse of this vendor-supplied market place, they have to ensure that players are not hacking or otherwise cheating to create in-game objects and then sell them for real money in Blizzard's market place.  The only way to do that is to have teir servers store/validate the in-game objects that each player is accumulating.

So, annoying, heck yes.   Necessary, heck yes.  This is an unavoidable result of Blizzard choosing to create an in-game store that uses real money.

I had never played any Diablo game, and according to all the complaints about connecting to the internet and this, that's not gonna happen any time soon.   

[Reaper_prime]

I've finished diablo 3 in ~15 hours in normal mode.

Now nightmare mode is exactly the same game with a linear increase in damage and some slighty changes in abilities.

Why would anyone want to spend more than 20 hours repeating the same levels twice??

 It's Diablo 3, I'd give it a 0.0 because:

• It's not Diablo anymore

• It's an isometric WoW 

• Everything is simplified to appease the masses = it's like to prostitute for more money.

• There's no balance at all

• Error 37

• Butcher with superpowers, King Leoric with an 'effin mace, it only needs a ponyville level to get the "worst game of the year" award. Oh wait, it has.

They also didn't do this for the fans, they did it so they can get a piece of the after market pie. Let's try not to put a positive or even a semi-positive spin on the decision, because there is nothing positive about it.

Diablo 3 was awful in so many ways. Even ignoring the story.

Itemization is completely awful, the game is way out of balance and clunky.

What was also a great dissapointment for me is I can't pick multiple abilities from a single class.

This is clearly the worst game restriction I've ever seen.

Comparing a isometric view Hack'N'Slash RPG to an third person shooter/action adventure RPG is like comparing Heavy Metal to Electronic.

I used to like Hack'N'Slash when I was younger....played Gauntlet Dark Legacy...Diablo III looks a lot like that, or the older hack'n'slash or more of the same of the original Diablo games. IMO, I still can't believe that the game looks so lame...

I mean the graphics look lame...the environments look lame...It looks like someone took a last gen game and polished it with HDR and some higher res texture like they do with the HD re-releases of video games. I don't think it would sell as much if the name Diablo wasn't added onto it.

Honestly, the graphics look like WoW 2.0, and we already know how those graphics compare to the current gen. THAT'S laziness...

Maybe they rushed Diablo III just to get money
