But I do think the lack of the cut-scenes allows Diablo 3 users to focus on the game itself thus enhancing the experience and increasing playability.

I would agree with many of the early complaints that the graphics and settings are a little underwhelming in comparison to some of the stunning visuals of PC games on the market today. I found the game fast-paced and enjoyable everything you'd expect from an RPG. To give you an indication as to the level of anticipation, Diablo 3 broke several presale records and, according to Techspot's website, became the most pre-ordered PC game of all time.Īs I had not been a devoted fan of the earlier installments of the Diablo games, playing them only casually when they ended up in the bargain bins years later, my expectations were a little more tempered. The average user rating, based on 2965 reviews, was a scathing 3.8 out of 10 as of this writing.ĭiablo 3 has been in development for years (12 of them to be exact) and this may very well have played against Blizzard, as the game franchise's hardcore fans likely equate time to quality. The website Metacritic has a favorable critics rating of 87 out of 100, but the user reviews on the site are far less forgiving of the games perceived shortcomings.

According to some early user reviews, we could have waited a little longer. The long awaited 3rd installment of the Blizzard hit Diablo rolled out to PCs and laptops with Wednesday's release of Diablo III.
