...Once the game acctually came out I heard it sucked.

What are your guyses opinions on the game? Is it more like D2 or WoW or a mix of both?

Interseting replies would be great, I'm consdiering purchasing the game.

Here's my breakdown man,

1. Third person shooter w/ some RPG elements.
2. Quests that are like WoW(ie. Kill XX, Get XX Items, Go to XXX), which in my opinion don't work that well for an ARPG.
3. Melee feels kind of generic, you stand still while attacking. You cannot move and attack at the same time.
4. Tilesets and enemies get a bit repitive after awhile.(ie. You will have dejavu in Act 5 with the same Zombie in the same Tunnel you killed in Act 1)
5. In between Act cinematics are pretty horrible. Act 1-2, a stupid floating book and dialogue. Rinse and repeat till Act 5.
6. Bosses are a bit lackluster. No real storyline behind them, just leave your finger on LMB and strafe.

It may seem like I'm bashing the game, but its not that bad. Its a mindless Hack-n-Slash RPG with a pretty good loot system.

Definetly try the DEMO before you purchase.

BTW, its 40 bucks at CircuitCity and Amazon.Com.

Yes and no.

They are updating the characters and they are making them even worst than before.
It's already impossible in Act 5 NM (St-Paul's) and now they want to make it even harder.
The new stonehenge addittion looks very cool and I tried it on the Test Center (Server where all the tests are made).

Atm I pretty much threw 100$ by the window.
I hope they won't update the characters like they said they would.

yes, get the game. but understand that it is not balanced yet, so you will ofc find things you don't like. The game ply and loot is great, which is the core ideal right?
