Acting and writing was much better in Diablo 2 too

Diablo 3, real quote from cain:
"The world must be told of the coming darkness! You DO believe me, don't you?! It has begun!"
What is that, a cliche factory?

Then you have Diablo himself with quotes like he was in a japanese anime
"Our long war ends today, Imperius!"
"Take one last look at look at your heaven, Imperius! For soon nothing of it shall remain but my laughter!"

Man, you can palpably *feel* the awesomeness drain right out of that character. He's no longer diablo the ineffable lord of terror, he's the freaking hamburglar


Thats villain decay at work, hard. In Diablo 2, Big D had a single line in the entire game, and was a voiceless, threatening evil the rest of the time. He was kept offscreen and that kept him scarier and more iconic. And his only line is "Not even death can save you from me", and he's offscreen when he says it. In this one, you get to see Diablo's eyes flash like he's a my little pony as he mouths "Imperius" in a voice like a homo longing for his estranged partner. His design looks pretty damn stupid too. Old Diablo was like a big scary balrog, wreathed in shadow. Just look at that cinematic where Marius sneaks up on Mephisto in act 3, Diablo doesn't say shit, he erupts to a chorus of wailing voices and spurting blood and gore while a cackling demon heralds his coming. In Diablo 3, you have a shiny anime character who probably starts shipping with adria in the end credits.

And that music was unbelievably generic

likely two expansion for $60 each, activision has been testing out a new theory on how much profit per consumer they can make off a single product. Could be 2x at $40 each if ur lucky tho
Think two expansion packs, microtransactions for RMAH and account features, aesthetics like hats, some DLC, accessories, collectors editions, and multiple copies of the game when you get banned or want to play overseas or whatever

Diablo has a vagina on each of his shoulders, its super duper scary to sexually insecure closeted gay men
