Diablo 3 is going to be a let down.
Auto spells/stats. The customization ability is going in the tubes.
When I talked to Dan about this game this was way before that information was let out.
The problem all begins when Blizzard North (The makers of Diablo and Diablo 2) left Blizzard.
That means the Team working on Diablo 3 has not been the original makers.
The original makers left and created a company known as Flag Ship Studios.
Their only real production was Hell Gate : London which was an amazing game.
If you like Diablo play that game instead of Diablo 3. Above all though they are going in the hole and are shutting down the HG:L servers.
Although that is true the single player is still worth it.
If I had to describe it... it is a futuristic Diablo 2 but with 3D modeling and a bit more emphasis on crafting rather than everything being about grinding.
The Diablo 3 that is being released... I will still get it and play it but it is not going to be dark like the previous two, it won't be the same feel.
The people that made the games we loved are gone from the picture. It will be a good game yes... but it isn't the true Diablo.
Flag Ship Studios are releasing one last game before they are done. Mythos. It is a completely free game and is the real Diablo 3.
It holds everything that the previous ones have.
Bottom line... if you want stuff from the real developers of Diablo play HG:L and Mythos.
Diablo 3 will be alright...
