D3 on MMORPG.com is a joke.
Listening to all you soapboxers go on and on about D3 is giving me a headache.
The game is SUPPOSED to be a spam-clicking loot-grind. I'm sorry it doesn't live up to the standards of the latest Korean or Russian F2P MMO that all you MMORPG.com forum soapbox geeks are in love with this season, but you're missing the entire point.
Diable is not an MMORPG... It's not supposed to be any of the things you all assume. And the Beta is only the easiest mode with a huge number of features absent. [mod edit]

The only thing I think anyone assumed would be that the game would live up to the name and actually be good. Sorry it couldn't meet those extremely high expectations...........
And yet they give it an official place here.
Don't want your game treated as, and compared to, an mmorpg then don't have it listed as an mmorpg.
-Letting Derek Smart work on your game is like letting Osama bin Laden work in the White House. Something will burn.-
-And on the 8th day, man created God.-
GW1 should not be listed either.
There is a hub where all players can meet in gw1 there is no such thing in diablo 3.
I don't think you have read anything. Those points you take offense to are not whats being talked about.
TSW - AoC - Aion - WOW - EVE - Fallen Earth - Co - Rift - || XNA C# Java Development
You can play hardcore mode in beta if you have a level 10 character. Your failure is now complete....
Grim Dawn, the next great action rpg!

Who are you talking to?
Blizzard never classified D3 as an MMORPG. Neither did I ...
It's in the same larger "online RPG" genre, but clearly and obviously NOT an MMORPG. Listening to people like you criticize it for not being a good MMORPG is making my brain swell.

Wow that is all it takes to be a MMO...a visual hub...that is probably the lowest standard I have every seen. So by your standard if everyone would stand around in one spot for chat purposes it would be an MMO. That is laughable.
Don't feel bad this treatment isn't specific to Diablo this forum while there are some diamonds in the rough is full of bitter trolling types who have nothing better to do than post nagatively about any game they don't take an interest in.
If you think the D3 traffic is bad look at the treatment most of these folks give WOW or any game not called "the new flavor of the month" presently TSW, and GW2.
i didn't set the standards for this website now did i.
Wow, way to put words in peoples' mouths. What makes you think anyone here is trying to compare Diablo 3 to a "korean or russian F2P MMO"? Are you just pulling that out of your ass because, as this is an MMORPG community, you feel you can take a swing like that and assume the generalization isn't completely absurd, insulting, or offensive?
I don't like Diablo 3 for alot of reasons, but the first on my list is because I don't enjoy it. Any other justification anyone has for disliking it doesn't really matter, because it's none of your goddamn business.

isn't this why gamers complain about games in general...because they expect big changes from beta to launch but end up with the same game they played instead. I haven't been paying much attention to D3 so i wouldn't expect much from the game. I did play the beta today and wasn't impressed so currently don't plan on buying it. I do have one question though.
...what features besides the real money ah is missing from beta that will be available once it launches mid may?
Again, people aren't complaining because it isn't a good MMORPG. People are complaining because it's not a good hack n' slash, it's not even really Diablo.
Why you assume people hate it because it's not an MMO is a bit confusing.
Do you get it yet? Or are you sticking to complaing about a comparison that no ones making?
People have been harsh on Blizzard games for the longest time.
Remember when Diablo 2 came out? ; http://pc.ign.com/articles/160/160629p1.html
Some labeled it as a weak sequel. That's how it often is. Nostalgia clouds people judgement, and on top of this, Blizzard has some of the most crazy rapid fans who fear any change. This is why Starcraft 2 is uncomfortable close to the original. It is why Warcraft 3 did not take a much more extreme departure than it was supposed to. It is why Diablo 3 is the way it is. Blizzard is caught in it's own legacy.
As for their developers. They have always said that they work as a beehive. There is no "star developer" at Blizzard. Only a few individuals who are blamed for everything. I am sure that they got quite a lot of significant guys there who have been there since the good old days.
Excatly so here the game is why complain when there is no set standard for MMO
The problem with D3 is that it is dumbed down even for a action-rpg. I'll still be buying and playing it but I am now 100% sure that blizzard doesn't care what rpg's are anymore.. they should be about choice and they have completely taken that away in all their games. They are not just theme park games anymore; they are also inhabited with theme park characters regardless of whether or not it is an MMO. GW2 has also fallen into this trap as well (but not AS much).. gaming is going in the opposite direction, makes me sad.
If you don't like the posts then go away. Typical self centered attitude. You go to a place where you are easily outnumbered and have the gull to tell everyone else to change to fit your personal preference. Not how it works, buddy.
As for D3, it's bad for a spam clicky loot grind. I fully understand it's context, aim and goals the developers are trying to hit and it is terrible.
It may be laughable but that is pretty much all it takes
Look at Hellgate London. Basically a lobby based game but was branded a MMO. Same goes for Global Agenda and quite a few other titles. The only thing that sets them a part from a game like Diablo is 3D and a lobby your character can run around in
I think the problem is not so much the game, but the price tag. You are basically paying for a game that has the same or fewer features than a game you've played for the last 15 years. The fact that you are going to be paying the same that you'd pay for a brand new, inovative game, is discouraging, I think. Diablo 3 offers only different game mechanics and newer graphics and not much else than what D1 offered (can't even say D2, since there's no pvp). And Bliz wants you to pay what you would pay for, say, Elder Scrolls VI. It's a dungeon crawler and nothing more. ..But they're forcing you to play it online where lag will be an issue in single player mode, and you are restricted to playing it while attached to an account. For 60 bucks I shouldn't have such restrictions on my single player game...
As for the gameplay, well, it's what a H&S game is...
Get used to it, this is where gaming is going. They are doing this, due to all of the people ripping single player games. If you owned a gaming company and were loosing millions of dollars on your releases, would you A. continue doing the same thing and loose money or B. Force people to create an account and play online in order to try and stop loosing millions of dollars? My answer would be B, yes you may loose some fans, but the profits will more thank make up for it.
I will Start with. I enjoy the Game. BUT. can't play single player without being loged in, Bothers me. Is it like Diablo or Diablo 2? No, and I wouldn't want it to be, If I want to rehash an old game, I would reinstall it. as for the Price? $60 is alot, But all games are doing it now. I remember Cheap Gas {Not going to say how cheap} But that {Like Everything else} Goes up in price too. Sign of the Times. Could it be better? What game couldn't be Better. Either you enjoy it or you don't. That Simple.
Good job on beating the dead horse.
Could it swell enought to explote from your skull? <-joke inside ->to the outside
Diablow 3, it sucks ...
Diablo 3 is a Blizzard game.
Therefore if people cant see the mega titan called WoW fall, they want a scapegoat.
It is sad how vindictive gamers can be to a game even if they never played it, just because of a companies history or because it didnt have a feature they themselves wanted.
MMORPG - Massivly Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game
GW1 - Massive, Online, Role playing game, not really a multi-player, well it is but it's limited to 12 people so it's kinda CO-OP
So why shouldn't it be listed?
If you want to be strict then a lot of games from the list should be removed, but I don't see why... They're all online mutli player games.
