Not buying it after playing beta

It's just booring and an uninspired game... (And don't go BSing me that the final game will be different)

The entire game (or what we saw of it) feels like such a drag!

 

If you want a good dungeon crawler, that actually does some cool new things try Lineage Eternal:

That game looks awesome!

Yeah it wasn't really what I expected either but I did still enjoy it and need something to bridge the gap to GW2 so I will be playing!

Why call it beta and not a demo?

That's my thought. Unless I missed something, I was able to do one mission, on one difficulty (although with all classes) which was, as pointed out earlier, basically the 'tutorial level'. I get the idea that it is a  "stress test" part of the beta, but it really comes across as more of a "come try and get hooked" demo more then anything. I didn't really get a chance to try co-op mode, so not sure why they would need to stress test single-player mode...you know...unless it were always online :P.....And before anyone jumps on this, I'm not complaining about what they put out there, I just don't think 'beta' is the right label is all. 

minor rant aside, It was a fun. It gave me my Diablo fix which was all I expected. I don't agree with all the decisions for this game, but it seems like it will still be fun and a nice little time-waster with friends.

 

Unless I've misunderstood.....it IS always online.  Even the single player campaign must be played online.  This is one "feature" that I don't much care for.  Most RPGs don't require being online so if Comcast is having one of their loser attacks where they're not up for some reason, you can still play a game.  But not so with D3.  It's all online, co-op or not.  Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying this is the biggest problem with D3, that's for SURE.  It's just a tiny annoyance in comparison to other things that have been mentioned.

 

I'm not sure if I'll get D3.  I do have it pre-ordered at Gamestop, but I might end up blowing that off.  I don't feel strongly compelled to buy it and the things I'm hearing aren't increasing my desire, so.....yeah.

sorry, was being sarcastic on the highlighted point

I don't like the always-connected as a form of DRM (which could be a whole seperate thread of course), but I also understand the arguments for it since the game has the RMAH and all that. Not sure how I feel about the RMAH itself, but for me that is not enough of a draw to make me like 'always-connected' in single-player mode.
