I played D3 a little bit every once in a while and, I've seen a lot of comments like you guys and it reinforces my belief that you just can't fuck up your launch period even as a "Game as a Service" type of game. Big Companies thought it'd be possible to release not-yet ready games or subpar games that'll just patched up in the future but every time they get burned. It's like the EA and al. of this world never learn. Even when they say they'll change their approach, literally give them 1 year and the next wave of releases will feature the same issues because the pipeline and studio culture is just that entrenched.

People rarely give second chances. I think only Destiny and Warframe and Rainbow Six Siege were ever able to re-acquire a substantial fanbase after a not so good early reception. And in all their cases, there were MASSIVE changes that probably took so much crunch time during a period of development you wouldn't think would be present.


While i agree with all of this i was SHOCKED at how well D3 for playstation sold. i knew like 10 people who bought that..... and it was dogshit.

I was done trying to like D3 when Cain got killed by a butterfly. Played for a couple months because I spent 60$ on it. Did make some $ off of it tho.

Ah yes... "While you were out collecting pieces of this stupid broken sword for Tyrone, i snuck into town and killed your beloved NPC effortlessly with a butterfly ball!"

I threw up a little in my mouth.

i remember on release night someone said "Cain will be rescued hundreds of thousands of times tonight". then he just died for no reason so that we could instead have his niece or w/e fill the same roll.... bravo on the story devs....

I'm glad Jay Wilson retired from the gaming industry after what he "accomplished" with Diablo 3 and Warlords of Draenor.

I was gonna buy D3, because you could sell game items for real money. Then I read that Bnet or Blizz was taking 15%. So I waited a bit longer to see how that would work out... and then they canceled the selling items for real money.

Full Hype.

Give me a Diablo 2 remaster to fill the gap between this announcement and actual D4 Launch.

Fuck yeah.
