[QUOTE="conclave27, post: 7648499, member: 95216"] Diablo III works in as a conclusion to the Saga. The story comes full circle. There was a 3E D20 supplement made for this game for Diablo 2. The New game and the supplement "Book of Cain" fleshes out this world that would make it a great tabletop game. Also if you take your time to explore the world 9which most won't) there is a wealth of book and info on the world, as well as some fun easter eggs here and there. And the game itself, has a number of features that can be cannibalized for a tabletop...bwahahaha. Yet back to the game.... in essence this was nothing more than another version of the Diablo II game....and in essence should be consider and expansion. The game itself was too graphically intense... Bioware has done a great job in the past with Baldur's Gate and Neverwinter Nights.... and this type of game there was no reason to make so graphic intense..... that ruined it for me. If you have the hardware, yes it is an immersive and beautiful game.... they went on overkill here. And I agree... the whole On-line thing ruins it.....this is not a MMO or even a game where you need to play with others. Blizzard has a way to register a copy... they got there money's worth... so why in the heck to you need it to be on-line? None of there reasoning is good, and in fact if you play WOW.... it has added an extra level of woe since you made your account vulnerable even if you have a Blizzard Authenticator. You can check the Blizz boards about that. Music is excellent as ever and the mini-movies are awesome. And the storyline... although there are major plotholes.... it was a good run. If you have the computer to play it and disposable income.... it is a great diversion.... but it was nothing to write home. My score... was like a 2.0... one point for music and cinematics and one point for the storyline. Sadly the technical aspects and online component broke a good game. In the end.. this is just my opinion.... after all I didn't make a multimillion game... [/QUOTE]
