So is Diablo 3 good or bad then?

I had to give it a 1. The lag for the single player kills it for me. When fighting with more 3 enemies on screen the game slows down and the fights become about luck instead of good timing with my skills and potions. Its a joke because of that. I thought it was my comp at first but I meet the recommended specs. It even happens when I open chests. Not sure if its the online requirement that is doing it or just unoptimized code.

This has happened often since the last two Hotfixes (1.0.2b and 1.0.2c). I think their netcode has been messed too much. It really blows when you're playing inferno with 60 ms latency and suddendly everything on screen stops and after a few seconds and a massive rubber band, you're dead. 

Not to mention that it seems some NVIDIA graphical cards are having a load of issues since the latest hotfix.

Yea i even tried playing on a lower resoultion with the lowest settings to see if it helps. There have been a few times where I "died" but the lag missed a health potion i pressed than sudenly i'm "alive" Just kills the feel of strategy/skill and makes it feel more like luck.

That has happened to me as well. After a bit of lag, I'm suddendly left with 0 HP but I'm still alive (though my HP gets frozen at zero and the screen with the red-ish hue) until I get hit again and actually die. 

There's a lot of things that kills all the strategy and skill that this game could have and lag is a big one. To be honest, I didn't see this many faults until I hit Inferno, but the way this difficulty mode was built really makes all the flaws in the game stand out in a big and bad way.
