Out for the more expensive editions like Ultimate for early access
before it opens to everyone else on the 6th. Blizzard and Activision,
duh. Who else?

I've heard that few people liked Diablo 3, but could you tell me why? For me it was the broken multiplayer. It wasn't the graphics, they were pretty good.
And even if it weren't, I still wouldn't touch it for a year or two
until the game has settled down into its final form and we can make an
honest assessment of how bad the MTX will really be.

The game did suck when it first came out. You could not log in to play
it as the servers were always down.
Item drops were piss poor. You couldn't get a decent item to drop.
Which effectively meant that the loot table was broken... in a hack
and slash game. Yeah, that is bad.
And there was the real money auction house. You did not find your gear
in the game. You purchased it with $$ in the AH. Ugh.
All of these problems went away when the expansion pack came out. Of
course, this was too late for some people who moved on to other games.
Diablo 3 is one of the best hack and slashers ever. But it was one of
the worst at release.
I heard all of that stuff about III and just decided that I would pass.
Play Torchlight or something. I wonder how many people joined me?

I passed and I would have continued passing but a friend asked me to
buy it when it was on sale and play the game with him. By that point,
the expansion was out and the game was in a much better state.
There is a decent chance I was playing Torchlight 2 or Titan Quest at
the time of Diablo 3's initial release so I probably did join you.

I won't touch any game until, as you say, they settle down into their
final form. Diablo 4 itself is likely to change, maybe dramatically,
over the coming many months.

And more expansions. They don't even include all classes like paladins!

Reviews are already out. Mostly hard to get into the servers. Blizzard
failed with its server slam weekend. They should had done it BEFORE
Mother's Day weekend!

It took me a month or so of nights to initially install and update
Microsoft Flight Sim when it came out. The servers were so incredibly
slow! Very frustrating experience.
Thanks again Ant!

Then there was the "we deserve more money" crap design which meant once
you got out of normal difficulty you HAD TO hit the REAL MONEY AUCTION

progress at all.
You hit a fucking wall and could not progress without paying Blizzard -
fuck that, fuck them, uninstalled.
Blizzard will never get a dime from me ever again.

Oh god, yeah, I forgot that part. That was annoying as hell, and the >required downtime when they did updates, which inevitably were
a big chunk of my then more limited time.

I never ran into that, I finished the game at least and had fun with friends. >The NG+ (or whatever they called them) were pretty slow going, and
grindfests though. So pay real money or grind for who knows how long.
I did run into having to trade items to progress, but that's why I liked
the non-money auction house.
I think I played it a bit on the DLC, which was after they'd got rid of the >auction houses all together. I found that far more annoying as you
still needed to trade to make reasonable progress, but you had to
go do it through forums.
Blizzard will never get a dime from me ever again.
Even though my experience was better, I still pretty much have this
attitude toward them. If my friends get sucked in I might join them
though just as there'd then be something I could do with them.
I think they've been into Path of Exile which didn't grab me though.
