I'll never understand the argument of people who scream about how D3 today isn't as terrible as it was at launch, as if that's some sort of exculpation. It was fucking awful at launch, so I stopped playing it after less than a month and resolved to never give BlizzActivision my money again. Was I supposed to stick with it on the off chance they managed to redeem their fuck up? Life's too short and there are too many games out there. If what their defenders say is true and they did finally manage to turn it around, good for them and whoever picks it up nowadays and gets enjoyment from it, but it's too late for me and that's on them.
People are surprisingly ready (especially for this place) to hand over their cash to bad games, or devs who've fucked up massively or who deride and spit on their fanbase. Look at all the people here creaming their pants waiting to preorder the new Bloodlines, despite it being very obvious how that's going to turn out. Look at the 'Don't you people have phones?' shit.
I just don't get it. It's not like the games 'scene' or whatever has significantly improved since it became a multi-billion dollar industry. On the contrary, it's gotten much worse. So starve the beast. Stop rushing to squeeze into your Wonderbra and driving over there every time they text you at 1am with 'Hey bb u up?'. It's not like there's not enough decent old/free shit for people to play. You could spend your life only on games released more than ten years ago and still die before you run out of top quality shit. Or sail the high seas and then purchase only the games that you know are actually decent. Either way, the industry isn't going to get better if people keep being such thirsty bitches.
I too stopped playing in disgust after about a week but I got pulled in about a year ago when some friends were playing and discovered that it had become a completely different game.
Sure the graphics are disgrace the story a crime against humanity but running rifts and creating builds with different sets is actually pretty fun. It should be noted however that the game starts at lvl 70. Everything before that is dog-shit.
I will never buy a blizzard game at launch again (maybe never buy a blizzard game period) but D3 in its current state is enjoyable if you play it multiplayer rifting. Play it single player and you're retarded.
