Skyrim, TW2, DA:O, ME2 and FO:NV didn't have these things to **** about. And so then, the fanboys come in and give them 10's when they don't really deserve 10's. Well... atleast in a fair review sort of stance.

That's not true.  Skyrim had some pretty bad bugs and glitches, including ones where the main quest would get stuck if you were in the middle of joining one of the factions that were plot devices to the story and two that caused you to hard restart if you dived into water or played for too long, resulting in the game freezing and forcing you to go up to your console and turn it off.

I wouldn't give Skyrim a 10, but it does everything else right for the most part, so I'd give it a 9.  And the game was so enjoyable that a few glitches every now and then didn't ruin the game for me.  Made me frustrated, sure, but didn't make me want to throw my skyrim box out the window or throw the game in the trash.  I've played it for more than 400 hours.  Mass effect 3 would be up in the 100+ by now if the ending wasn't so cringe worthy to me.  I'm probably at maybe 40 and a good amount of that now is probably because of multiplayer.

I actually don't even play it now; I'm waiting for the EC.  I just don't even want to be bothered with the game the way it is, not to mention the always online necessity for the PC and when my internet dropped I got spammed MID DIALOGUE every 2-3 minutes about the internet dropping like I didn't already know which also cut off some of the dialogue like I pressed the space bar.  Thanks for that EA & Origin.

uh...yeah but the reason the score is lower is not the same as Mass Effect's

One is protest against DRM, which is obviously a very strong issue for gamers.

The other is disappointment because players feel the ending invalidates three games worth of role-playing.

The ME3 ending is better than these threads on the wrong forum.

[stysiaq]

I don't have D3, and I'm not going to buy it in near future, because beta was disappointing and the game is extremely expensive (standard edition of the game costs about 30% more than my ME3 CE) for a hack and slash simplified to the bone.

But as for Metacritic user score, it is slowly recovering, it used to be about 3.5 and some users changed their 0.0 score after a few days when they could actually play.

I think that when Blizzard unlocks PvP mode, the butts will be hurt greatly. The D3 skill system is a design decision I won't ever understand. Elliminating the word "build" from an action RPG should be punished. In D2 I could play a Blizzard Sorcress, a Frozen Orb Sorcress, Lighting Sorcress, Meteor / Fireball Sorcress and so on. In D3 I can play a Wizard.

5 different builds for a whole game that includes PvP.

If ME3 multiplayer did not include builds, it would be more acceptable.

[SNascimento]

Surprised?
.
Mass Effect 3 still the best game released this year... and will probably get a lot of goty award.

[Klijpope]

I seem to remember an awful lot of folks, on here, before ME3 released, who seemed like they wanted it to fail. For all sorts of reasons, like betraying their rpg roots, whathaveyou, but revenge for DA2 was quite prominent too, along with the leak material (but I avoided that).

Lots of people just waiting for a bandwagon to jump on to.

Note, not dismissing complaints about the ending, but the feverish tone and fury got amplified by a pre-made 'mob'. We're seeing the same thing about the EC - lots of prejudgement and negativity about something no one has yet seen. Odd stuff, these internets...

[soulprovider]

 I think the bad scores were because of how badly blizzard's drm botched the launch, not to mention that of coure diablo 3 feels like a watered down version of WoW, and instead of innovating its like they copy and pasted and then deleted.

So far the story is proving to be interesting, But i've already guested act 1's story line completely and i'm certain there will not be any twists in act 2 or 3 and probably the same with act 4. 

I figured it all out based on a blizzard prequel video they did for the game, D2 on the other hand actually caught me by surprise a little bit with the different stories and battles only to have the hero chasing someones foot steps, and seeing the aftermath.

Somewhat, I mean after the way they handled starcraft this just surprises me.

[ticklefist]

Premature hate topic. The major review houses haven't even chimed in yet.

What really matters to me: I'm enjoying it a hell of a lot more than Mass Effect 3.

 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.

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.

Enable elective mode, find a new greatest disappointment.

Diablo received bad scores for other reasons than the story. And Mass Effect 3 is an okay game, not marvelous. Untill the end, that is.

Seival wrote...

No matter the scores, Diablo III (and most other Blizzard games) are epic fail... Not in terms of money making of course, but in terms of artistic value. Blizzard makes trashy and completely outdated games, no matter how long does it take... It's just a fact...

...But ME3, and the entire ME Trilogy... Despite all disadvandages ME Trilogy has the highest actistic value among ALL games in game development history.

So please, do not compare ME3 to Diablo3 please...

 


People don't buy games because they're artsy fartsy, they buy them because they are fun to play and have a good story (though admittedly, nowadays most games don't). So screw your art.

Damn straight.

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

LOL

It was never intended to be anything more than a dungeon crawl.  Just like the previous two.
"Moo.  moo MOO moo."
If it has a secret 'cow level" you can bet that story is not a driving force of the game.

The phantasmagoric King of the Cows gives you the key to the new realm. One with rainbows, smiling clouds and pon...unicorns to enjoy with a special selection of cake like colors.

"No, there isnt a Cow realm"

[Tritium315]

Metacritic means a lot. 75 perfect scores and not one mention of the dog **** ending.

[sonofalich]

i'm not buying any games with a "3" in them that's for sure. Diablo 3 and ME 3 were both MASSIVE disappointments.

[4stringwizard]

If there's one good thing ME3 did for me, it was teach me NEVER to buy a game before hearing the fan (not "professional") feedback. Hence, no $60 wasted on Diablo 3. That said, I'm still disappointed, being a huge fan of the series.

To be fair though, a large portion of fans couldn't even play D3 on its release cause of all the server errors, hence a lot of 1-star ratings. I'd be interested in seeing what the score would be if the game actually worked for most people.

[Darth_Trethon]

lol so I take Blizzard dished out slightly less money than EA? Saw one of the first reviews for Dragon's Dogma appear as a 6 and had a good laugh.....same thing happened to other insanely amazing games like Alpha Protocol.....fail to dish out the big bucks and the critics will attack your game every way they can and trash it.

[Vormaerin]

Someday, people will learn that metacritic user reviews are not generally posted by people trying to actually review the product.

A bad launch does not make the game bad. Diablo III is exactly the same kind of game as its predecessors. If you liked the previous two, you are quite likely to enjoy this one.

Stupid DRM policies are a reason not to buy the game, not a reason to say the game is garbage once you are actually playing it.

Btw, was there anyone who didn't think the servers were going to be a problem in the first few days? The peak usage in the first couple days is almost always higher than the normal usage. Its not like Blizzard is exactly noobs at running Battle.net...

[OH-UP-THIS!]

Blizzard.........forget it!!!

[Paragon Fury]

I have D3, and I can say most of the hate and negative reviews it is getting are undeserved. The game on its own probably deserves an 7.5/10, and then the bad DRM probably knocks it down to a 6.5/10. People are just overreacting to the DRM.

Its nothing like ME3, which assassinates the entire game and the entire series in the last 10 minutes of the the game.

[ShepnTali]

Waiting for console version and no DRM. LOL @ PC snobs. Not PC gamers. PC elitists. LOL.

Even then, Max Payne is getting mixed reviews from the public, but by all means - I'm in love with the game.  Can't get enough of it, same with Diablo 3. 

[Armass81]

How many players trolled another 0/10 simply cause they couldnt get in the first day?
