Its pretty good. Best I've seen for a hack & slash game by far.
1. For god's sake mmo gamers, enough with the analogies. They're unnecessary and your comparisons are terrible, dissimilar, and illogical.
2. To posters feeling the need to state how f2p really isn't f2p: Players understand the concept. You aren't privy to some secret the rest are missing. You're embarrassing yourself.
3. Yes, Cpt. Obvious, we're not industry experts. Now run along and let the big people use the forums for their purpose.
The lore behind the game is great, but I think the story isn't particularly great in the actual game. It's adequate as an excuse to slay a lot of demons in various sceneries.
I'd say the game (and the series) has very good lore, but can't say the same about the plot, necessarily.
I find the lore VERY shallow and CHEAP. But in the case off D3 it's done masterfully with the films between the acts, If you have money you can almost make any b-script good.
Angels and Demons? Diablo (The old name for Prince Lucifer) , Baal etc its all stolen names from old folclore picturing the names of diffrent fallen angels or "The Devil" in many diffrent names , the lore was once a meaning to an end to draw in litte kids in this Keeewl lore, and I guess succesfully as well..
If you want good lore, play Dragon Age or Mass Effect or the olden goldie "Planescape Torment".
And as you say yourself..The plot is also thin as ice..
I suggest you read up on what Diablo lore actually is, because you seem very ignorant on the subject.

The story is ok. The cinematics are VERY well done.
But once again, who cares about the story? This game is about killing stuff, and surviving with cool abilities, and loot progression.

It's not bad. But I really do like all of the little lore books and such that you can get. I found that a nice addition with the voice overs.
Interestingly enough, I found the Templars story more interesting (even if it is cliche) than the main plot.
