I'm late, but I just bought Diablo III.
Not too late Just in time for Reaper of Souls, and you didn't have to go through the hell we Day1Buyers had to go through from the first night up until the recent 2.0.1 patch. You only get to see the good side of this game
The whole original version of Diablo 3 was ****. Having your account hacked and all your loot stolen for Blizz to then just turn around saying "well that's your fault for not having an authenticator" when people with them where still get hit was pretty awful.
Since loot 2 patch the game has been much much better, though the expansion is crazy expensive
Oh trust me, I know the original D3 was absolute ****. Not only did I experience the day 1 (night) error codes, but I also experienced my account being hacked during a crucial time, and they ended up rolling me back by days (hours upon hours of play time), and I was greeted by an almost bare account... let's just say I quit the game very soon after (after I beat inferno pre-patch, as in before inferno was nerfed with different levels) up until after patch 2.0.1.
I must agree that $40 for an update is quite expensive, but at the same time, the new act is extremely large and long, and the new player class is quite impressive and is currently my favorite. I've already put close to 60-70+ hours since it has been out, and that's coming from someone who despised the original game People should definitely pick this up! It's awesome.
I don't know about that... I mean the new patch has made the game really great and I've been playing with my Barb and DH alot... almost to lvl 60 now with my DH... but I've heard the new act can be finished in an hour or two... :/
I really think that the adventure mode should have been given to everyone to bought D3 day1 as a sorry for the cluster **** that the main game was for almost its entire life and then made the expansion more meaningful.
Adventure mode sounds really cool, but knowing Blizzard, the time-frame for the updates they have said they want to give it put me off buying the expansion for probably another year or so lol... I mean ****, getting them to do anything they have promised or said they would for Sc2 has been a harrowing experience... and given that they have only just fixed the vanilla game, I put little faith in them bringing any of the cool **** to market any time soon lol
That said, I'm still having a good time playing though the vanilla game with friends and solo... I've really enjoyed just chilling out with some music and killing some fools
