I'm done with you. I hope anyone reading this is aware of the chances I gave and the patience I showed.

Please enjoy whatever game you do choose.


Your patience is truly EPIC! It is exceptionally rare to find a person so level-headed and articulate, especially faced with such belligerence. You truly are a forum god :-)

You'd think your immortal soul was on the line the way some people have been ranting. It's not as if you are alone in your take on D3 or PoE. Just do a google search and you'll find several well written reviews arguing that PoE is what D3 should have been. In many ways I wish D3 had gone in the direction of PoE given how much I love the franchise but seeing as they haven't I'm glad GGG has picked up the ball that Blizz has fumbled.


Please, stop speaking like you're stating facts, it's quite annoying.

Come again...?
Blizz hasn't 'fumbled' any balls.
You just don't like the game, but for some reason nearly everyone with that opinion acts like the game is bad.

Typically it's seen as bad form to preface every statement with "in my opinion" because the implication is tacit. While it's true that I dislike what I've seen so far of D3, especially when it comes to the game's mood/atmosphere, I have no idea if D3 is "bad" or not, it just doesn't appear anywhere near as good as PoE. Given what Blizz is/should be capable of, that's a fumble in my book.

If anything I think it's a cool step by blizzard to try something different. Anyone can make a skilltree, or let alone, a passives tree, work.
This is a very new type of system, and I commend them for it. But yeah, everyone has their own opinions.

It sometimes just seems like people who hate d3 can't accept that not every game is made for them.

Yep, everyone does. Though there are some in this thread who don't seem to be able to accept that fact. My (or the OP's) disappointment with D3 isn't taking anything away from those who think its great (and again, I wish I could be one of them given how much I love the Diablo universe). But as I said before, the way some people are writing you'd think the stakes in this debate were a lot higher.

Edit: sorry, missed your edit...funny enough I think it's the people who love D3 that can't accept that D3 isn't for everyone.

The stakes are higher, some of us (including me) will even feel the wrath of god. (Read some of the previous pages ^^)

EDIT: This was in another thread, nvm. (It was pretty hilarious though)

A damn good read. Well said. I can't help but agree with everything you pointed out in your post(s). I played this during the weekend for the first time because D3 was right around the corner, why would I "waste" time with another game. I am really glad that I did try PoE out. I am going to be pretty much playing this as much if not more than D3 (most likely more).
What's good is often forgotten, what's bad is often hidden.

Actually nevermind, the religious fanatic guy was in another thread. My bad.

I'm pretty sure that applies to me(iyo), so you might as well say it. :P

But nah, I have come to accept the fact that not everyone will play D3, mainly through the awesome posts of charan.
Though perhaps it still applies to other people.
