Diablo III addicts

So, how do you guys rate the game?

I am a massive diablo fan, but i decided to wait until the new imac release to buy it, so i can play it without having to lower graphic quality etc (my current imac is getting old)

Most reviews just complain about the error 37 and things like that, but is the game as good as Diablo 2 once you get into it?
 
Blizzard may have screwed up by making all of north America wait until 12:01pacific. Servers were overloaded, and they still.have a few problems, i was kicked off right after beating Diablo on normal.

That said, bugs are expected with a new release and i will not judge the game by this.

If anyone has any thought of playing this game... DO IT! Some things differ from D2 but overall, once you get used to it It's an amazing game. The game focuses on item drops, and not on choosing a skill tree.

For those who.never played previous Diablo games, its ok throughout the world you find backpacks with books that tell you the history of Diablo.

The game is a great hack and slasher. It's nothing revolutionary but it's addictive fun. The server errors are annoying and do detract from the game but I'm hopeful that stability is only a matter of time.
 
I beat nightmare yesterday with my barbarian. Level 51. Started a bit of hell mode, but decided to try out a new class. I may try and run through as much of hell today as I can.

Nice! Just finished Act 1 on Nightmare, level 38 Demon Hunter.

Working on getting my vitality up a bit now. As with 4 people on Nightmare just about everything 1 hits me :eek:

Its pretty good, definitely different though. The game focuses more on equipment for stats, and combat gameplay rather than character building and skill trees.


I really miss having proper skill trees and being able to distribute my attributes how I want, but this seems to be a growing trend among a lot of games. It's a great game, if you enjoyed the older Diablo games definitely worth getting.
