Some Quick Thoughts On Diablo 3



In short, my thoughts on Diablo 3 are "more 'meh' than your body has room for." I found it very fun for the first hour of the 4-5 hour "chapter 1" available in the beta which is really more of a demo. After that it became a spam click fest, but it had a very different feel than it's predecessors. It was boring. I was bored by it. I never thought I'd say that about a Diablo game. None of what I was doing was interesting after the first hour.

I'm a huge fan of Diablo 1 and 2, and I felt the art direction, while very smooth and pretty, did not lend itself properly to what I envision as Diablo. The colors are too bright, I honestly and truly expected this, of all games to be grimdark in it's art and style. Also, Why does my clearly Eastern Orient Monk have a thick Russian accent?
