I finally ended up buying D3 and RoS. Finished game last night with a barbarian. I finally see what everyone was saying about the poor and childish writing (I mean come on, why is Belial telling me his every plan). I suppose their target audience was young teens who wouldn't know better. Plus itemization truly is stale in this game.
But the visuals are gorgeous. The game just looks truly amazing. The skills and spells are quite creative and sound good. I enjoy that a lot.
Will try adventure mode and other characters. I wonder how long the novelty will last.
