500 hours of play for 60$ means you payed 0,12$ for an hour of entertainment. This is quite one of the best deals around in my opinion. I think that you want too much in your life. I think that you will be back as soon as the PVP is added just to get the best PVP achievments :D. Or just come back after a few years when the game will be well patched. Investing in state of the art IT technology only for this game was plain stupid. The next time read the game specification, you only needed something like a 600$ gaming computer to fully enjoy the game. What you did it's like buying a F1 car just to make casual shoppings in a close to you supermarket. Anyway you may use the computer to play other games in the next years. | ||

I was the same - first several weeks I was pretty content playing with friends, or alone, then I reached the endgame... farming, and farming and farming for gold/better gear alone (except for party farming goblins, how "fun" it was). I uninstalled like 3 weeks ago. For me, its largely an issue of constructive feedback vs what looks like whining. I'm not saying the game is perfect, there are quite a few things wrong with it, in my opinion. The problem is most of the feedback looks like some version of the OP: "I've played the game for 500 hours, here are (literally)100 things wrong with it. This game sucks." No balance, no things you like about the game, nothing that is done right, no discussion of what kept you playing for 500 hours. Pure negative, to the extreme, presented in a full on "this game is terrible" format. That just makes you look stupid and immature, and is a big hurdle for actually getting appropriate feedback heard. You have to look at it from Blizzard's end a bit. If 90% feedback is telling you the game is complete and utter trash, yet you have hard data showing tons of people are still playing and playing a lot, you're pretty likely to dismiss the that kind of feedback as baseless whining out of hand. You played the game for 500 hours, yet the game is trash(insert Jay Wilson bashing). Ok... Who would listen to that? That isn't mature or well thought out. The problem with this is it is just noise that drowns out the real constructive feedback that is out there, from people who like the game, can freely admit to liking the game, but have good suggestions for improvement. A complete overhaul of the game is unlikely at this point, so if you genuinely hated the game completely: 1) You probably wouldn't play it for 500 hours and 2) You are probably never going to like the game, no matter what. The core concepts of the game design are not going to change at this point. If you genuinely don't like them, just move on. | ||

I used to get 1 game a year and had to save all year to afford it. 500 hours at a game is like the bare minimum to spend on a game. christ i got more than 500 hours out of doom and sonic the god damn hedgehog. so if you play for 80 hours and say .. umm well thats that ... well sure you may of enjoyed it but you have been ripped off compared to the great games out there. If you do think 80 hours is a good amount of time to get from a game and you did enjoy it then i really think you havent discovered a great game yet. I really hope you do because I LOVE great games, i look forward to finding another game that just completley consumes me in a way that isnt a really blatently manufactured and artificially imposed grind. I don;t get how diablo 3 can induce 500 hours from anyone tbh. Its just a shame it takes aobut 80 hours to get to the endgame properly to discover that yes it is as empty as the beta felt and that yes the evidence that the game was going to be like that did turn out to outweigh all the blizztard fan bois that thought the real thing was goign to be somehow magically better despite all the evidence in front of them that it was goign to be bland. Edit: whats the point in constructive feedback? Are you delusional? you expect blizzard to read this forum and even if you posted in a forum they read you think they will read your post amongst the clamour? Do you play the lottery and sincerely expect to win? | ||

As for for all the complaints in your post, I'm not sure if anyone will read through every single one, but a few have legitimate points which have been discussed a lot already, some just nit-picking. | ||

Do you play the lottery and sincerely expect to win? Agreed that truly great games can occupy you for hundreds of hours, but 80 hours of entertainment from a $60 investment is in no way a ripoff. I'm not sure where you live that you have to save for an entire year to purchase one game, but for me even a couple weeks of entertainment is enough to get my money's worth out of a game. Do I wish they all provided 500 hours of gameplay? Well no...I don't have that much time to play video games. Do I wish they provided more than we currently get? Of course, but the game industry is obviously trending towards the CoD model of releasing games. I'm not sure why it took them so long to catch on to it, EA has been doing it with Madden for years. | ||

I'd consider it pretty 'meh' to only get 80 hours out of $60 game. I don't buy many games, but the ones I do I'm usually playing for hundreds of hours over years. D3 lacks that staying power so far imo | ||

I would rather have a shorter, well-paced game that I'm willing to replay down the road to a game that artificially inflates playtime by having too many long grinds. | ||

D3 lacks that staying power so far imo This discussion about 60$ being worth it or not is a bit senseless to me. There is no threshold where its worth it. This is all SUBJECTIVE. The price itself is subjective and not based on production costs at all, 60$ is just based on the price of other AAA games. So feeling it is worth it or not is entirely subjective and depends on what someone was hoping for out of these 60$. If you think your 60$ pay for 500hr of entertainment and thenyou end up with 80hr, you have the right to feel it was not worth it. For myself: I buy some games, knowing I wont play them more than 10-15hours to complete them (not counting redoing it). But thats just how such games are and I'm willing to do it because for me its like buying a 2Hr movie for 20$. Its a lot of fun for a short time. Games like the Uncharted serie, AC, God of War, etc etc, console games for the most part. For those I know plainly what I'm paying for and I'm willing to do it. When I buy SC2 for 60$, I knew the campaign would be over in 20hours but then I was paying for the multiplayer and it was worth it. On the other hand when I buy a Diablo game, I want it to last longer than D3 did for me because that's what I felt I was paying for. The game ended up being a huge disappointment on this front so I'm disapointed by the price I paid. Right now 40$ would have been a better price for me. Like I said all this is very subjective. | ||

I'm still below 100 hours and had pretty much enough of the game, hoping that PvP adds something more once/if it eventually gets released. I haven't even killed Diablo yet though, got one char in Act 3 and another in Act 2. I don't feel my money was wasted but it's not a game people (me) will be playing 10 years from now. | ||

I think the game will eventually be pretty good. Blizz has the potential to make a ton of money off the RMAH and expansions and they won't give these opportunities up without a fight. With that said, they have a long fucking way to go and a whole lot of work to do. Like many others say, the game is pretty much in "Beta" still. Also, you should link this post or repost to reddit.com/r/diablo since you put the work into it lolz | ||

You have only your expectations to blame really. this x100000000000000 The only person here to blame is yourself. The only reason a game would "suck" is because it didn't meet the expectations you gave it. Same reason everything else "sucks."Also, you compare D3 to D2 a lot which I think is dumb because they're 2 different games. Just like Diablo 1 was NOTHING LIKE Diablo 2 in almost every way, except how you controlled your character. Get a grip on yourself. | ||
