So is Diablo 3 good or bad then?

lestat, what score did you give?

i understand what you're saying. all that stuff is really annoying. but i dunno, personally, i find it to be a good thing. that's just me, i know. i may be a little masochistic in that way :P i like the feeling of having to tear my hair out fighting a mob. different strokes for different folks, i guess.

I gave it a 7. 

I believe the game has the potential to be a 9 or maybe a 10 a few patches down the road. D2 at it's very start had also a lot of bugs and hair-tearing flaws and it was not until 1.5 (and especially 1.8) that things got closer to what we remember of the game (though LOD trully is to thank for that), but as it is, there's so many bad design decisions and stepbacks imo. 

I like hair tearing difficulty and don't mind oneshot situations and squash-you-like-a-bug scenarios, that's why I played a naked Thief on Demon's Souls on NG++++. But while I enjoy those scenarios, I also want to be able to survive based solely on my skill, which on DIII seems to happen randomly or just in too limited a quantity.
