I guess they wanted to make it viable for a wider range of computers. They did a great job with the art for the level of graphics, but it's certainly less than I was expecting. Normal mode diablo was a joke - hit me once in phase 1, not at all in phase 2, and once in phase 3. Hopefully higher difficulties will make this better, as nightmare already seems to be getting a bit more interesting. The wizard has just begun nightmare mode. I've played a demon hunter to 26, and a wizard to level 35. Bad compared to Diablo 2, but average standing on its own. I wasn't going to get it at all, but it was free, so worth a try to see if it was as bad as it looked. I got a free copy from my friend who won it in a raffle while getting his copy.

Maybe I'll change my mind once I get used to all these new things, which are not, in my opinion atm, any sort of progress.Īnd PS: watching streams from guys playing inferno, it's seriously insane how hard it is, so ending inferno is prolly gonna be a new ultimate aim for everyone (just like lvl 99 in d2) you can't really fully exert influence on your character, system does that instead of you, so once you're lvl 60, the only difference between your wizard and other person's wizard is the clothes and weapons you're wearing.Īll in all, brilliant fun lacking a great deal of things that truly defined awesomeness of Diablo 2. you gain lvl 60 in the middle of hell and which means the rest of the game is not about levelling, which in opinion was the coolest part of d2 Only talks between characters and banter seem fine, but the main storyline is disappointing I personally like the story behind Diablo universe and was kind of expecting a cool storyline, which is rather a failure, no consistency at all, really infantile. no taxis possible, as Blizz strictly gives the lvl boundaries to join each quest, which sometimes leads to ridiculous situations (ended act 1 on nightmare on my own and wanted to play act 2 online, but the system said my lvl is to weak, so I had to exp in act 1 for an hour or so) So the true brilliance can be experienced once you play with your friends and I still wait for my friends to buy the game, which will happen after their exams etc. public chat window is really small and all in all it doesn't really have the openness of d2, it's far more private/intimate. only four players in one game and you can't really choose the game you want to join, only the quest you're interested in ( search the game for you). Brilliant fun, fighting is extremely rewarding and exciting, nice graphics, apart from that things get worse though:
