because everyone clearly wants to know, here are my thoughts on diablo 3, having not played it yet:

Seems like same old, same old, with a few new (but as is always the case, restrictive) classes and a bunch of new gimmicky gameplay elements and updated graphics. You'd think after 10 years that the game would come leaps and bounds, but this is really just a polished D2 with some new features that might keep it fresh for a while, but ultimately not that long.

What makes the diablo franchise suck shit is the absolute lack of character individuality / differentiation. Whatever you do with your character, some other idiot will have done the same thing and likely have done it better. It's like you spend all these hours "working" up a character (sure, probably having fun in the process) and when you get to the point where you essentially 'max out', what's the payoff? Oh hey good job doing all that work and stuff, get in line with the 850 thousand other guys who chose to play a barbarian or a sorcerer or whatever the fuck the class names are this time because you're pretty much exactly the same as all of them.

Anyway, whatever, I'll probably play it anyway. Fuck you guys.
