I love diablo, I have been a fan for years. I know the game got negative reviews from when the beta was out, I didn't play during the beta, so I cannot speak for the way the game was. It is certainly more challenging than D3 and the campaign is much longer. Some things can be difficult to figure out but it's solvable and doable, not like some games where you get stuck. There's still much to do even after completing the campaign and I appreciate the character customization which was not in the prior games. Graphics are great and while there have been some server issues, they've been very fast to fix the bugs. Overall, very pleased with this game as I have been waiting for it for forever. I like that it brings some of the vibe from D2 as well.
