[url=#user_comment_198520]@Nikari[/url] Jo wants to say he enjoys the changes made in the last patch, but most of his friends already abandoned it.

Not to bash or anything, but this is the first post where i can't undestand what Jo is trying to say due to weird sentence structure.

@The guy: ya this is why diablo 3 sucks. everybody's character is basically the fucking same. diablo 4 will not even let you choose skills because that is way to complicated.

I don't get this. Why would you complain about Inferno being too hard?

...There are lower difficulty levels, right?

Play them instead if it's that bad - you're just complaining because the developers aren't soothing your ego by letting you win.

@Shadow Scryer:
Okay, I'll explain what's terrible about casual gaming. They demonstrate obvious truth that casual games are more profitable. Which means that developing games for normal people shrinks, and even respected in the past developers start to dumb down and simplify their games.

D3 is gettin cooler and cooler. Those who have uber gear and cash have their mp10 to go but not all players have 1 billion gold and they want to enjoy game too.

I got D3 with the WoW yearly pass, but never actually tried it out. Maybe now it'll be fun for me to pick up!

Honestly fail to see what's so bad about casual gaming. Different people=different opinions on fun, live and let live. Just don't understand.

And that mask reminds me of Crash Bandicoot for some reason...

Difficulty was only one of the problems with Diablo 3, but specifically it was a stupid kind of difficulty. Glass cannon is not all that fun, and that's what Inferno was before. You either dodge stuff or you explode. Maybe they fixed that, but it's far too late to save the game at this point.

So what is basically said is that Inferno isn't as difficult as before... But if that is all it takes to make it fun why don't you just grind Hell instead? The mind numbing difficulty of inferno was just a small part of what made Diablo 3 boring very fast.

What makes me feel better is that the D3 came free for me

If the only way they could make it fun is by making it easy it really isn't worth my time

Arma mode was nerf in 1.0.4,
Now in 1.0.5 we have MP, try it with PM of 5 and tell me it's easier :D

On Torchlight 2, I only play on Elite, but then again, Tankneer is hard to die even then. On Diablo2 I would go the highest difficult, just because I like a challenge, specially on hardcore mode.

valve doesn't have to worry about that daretobecupid, unlike bioware and blizzard it isn't yet popular to hate on valve while you secretly play and love all their products.
Daretobecupid

One last thing, I'm fairly sure the fail nature of Diablo 3 and Mass Effect 3 is why Valve has YET to release Half-life 2 Ep 3; thanks for scaring Gabe Newell off the number 3, asshat devs!

Can we just forget about Diablo 3 and keep Diabla-tan? Is that doable, or do we have to keep both or neither?

It's nice to see Diablo-chan in the strip again... But the one I'd like to see more of is X-chan, from that one XCOM fears comic.

Just play Torchlight 2, it's objectively better than D3 in like every way pretty much.

"Challenge" is overrated in non-competitive video games anyway.

whenever anyone whines about a game becoming too easy or for casuals, my brain instantly translates this into "broken game has been fixed"

Changing the stats of the monsters in a dungeon doesn't affect the level of challenge in the game, just the difficulty. If you have to grind gear just to win, that's a time-sink not any type of challenge.

Tentacle Jo played diablo 3 before it was cool. So mainstream now...

I absolutely agree with your comment. Inferno mode made me HATE Diablo 3. It was an absolutely miserable experience and I no longer have any drive to play the game.

A shame really because the game is quite fun and nice to play.

The real pity is how stockholm syndrome'd so many fans were, that they couldn't see the flaws in D2 and what D3 did to correct them. Oh, and let's not forget the way everyone else LOVES to forget how other Blizzard games were at launch. D2 launch: no runes, no uber bosses, just grind.

why do people still play this god awful abomination.

I've had the same experience with most of my friends no longer playing it. Hearing that they've lowered the difficulty curve, I would absolutely be down for trying again.

Did they ever get around to patching the glitched dungeons?

I came back to D3 on 1.0.5 too and hell, isn't it awesome.
I'm doing a melee wizard build (one of the builds that were actually NERFED in 1.0.5) and it's just lots of fun.
