To be fair, Diablo 3 is a pretty dumbed down game compared to 2, and pretty shitty in comparison.
Funnily, I thought the game was consolified way back when it came out almost a year ago, it was just consolified PC only game back then, now it's a consolified game on a console too.
(Consolified is a very derogatory term for a PC game, just to clear all doubts of my meaning away).

I couldn't put a finger on what was wrong with D3. It all made sense now.

Only finished the game on Normal once with a Monk and had not urge to play the game.

I hadn't touch the game since the first week, LOL.

I spent years on D2. Reinstalling the game numerous times after breaks.

I in fact have Diablo 2 LoD installed again. It's just so much infinitely better than the crap that is Diablo 3. I was a monk too, I used to play an assassin, had pre 1.08 bartuc's and natalia's it was all snazzy and fancy and awesome. Also oh yeah, fucking PVP. Shit, I pvped more in that game than I did in games that were supposed to be PVP.

It felt similar to Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance (why the fuck did it have BG in it's name again?). Yeah, I just went there. Actually, maybe I'm mistaken and my memory fails, but DA was actully better. I could actually PICK where and how my stats and skill points went. I could also be thinking of another game though.

 

Edit: You know what game was also hella fun, came out before D2 as well? NOX, from westwood. Fuck EA for closing down the servers.

Edit 2: I would like to point out something. Epic made UT2004. Then just started making games for consoles, what happened? Epic hasn't had a decent interesting game since UT2004. BioWare, made Baldur's gate, lasted a few more games in then we get to Draogn Age 2 and Mass Effect 2/3. Blizzard, not saying they planned D3 for consoles (though they have been hiring console developers for a while now) but look at what happened to their games.

Then again, I guess all the current big offenders used to release interesting new games, EA actually used to not suck once upon a time. I think Activision too. It's time for a new generation of small developers to come up with new interesting games, unburdened by the pressure of consolifying.
