Very satisfying to me. The over-all environment was rather engaging and entertaining for a dungeon diver like me to find great pleasure out of playing. As a fan of Diablo 2 I was disapointed with the dumbing down of the mechanics, but in the end it wasn't that huge of an 'ick' factor to me. I'd say putting pros/cons
Pros:
1.) Fun Dungeon Crawling Combat
2.) Interesting story development (gives a more action feel in many sections)
3.) Random events provide extra challenge while normally partying.
Cons:
1.) Ending is a bit... lackluster. Felt like it should of done more.
2.) A bit to far dumbed down, itemization as of now seems a bit iffy making pure stat items generally best
3.) Relatively short. Under 12 hours of gameplay going straight through from start to end.
If you enjoy dungeon crawlers and those old style click away games, you probably will enjoy this more then you expect even with them taking a lot of the rpg elements into the casual level.
You haven't finished it until you've done it on every difficultly really.. thats why you need to unlock them.
That's the official party line these days. We give you a short game but, hey, you can play the same thing over and over in different modes or with different characters. Pathetic.
Reminds me of SWTOR where the guy from Bioware said the game would be so compelling we would want to play through it with ALL the different classes. That was their endgame plan? Play it again with a different character.
Right now a lot of people are frantically trying to justify spending money on this game. When the denial process dies down it will be generally seen for an epic failure. And if you think it's not an epic failure ask yourself how the richest and most successful computer game company in the world could take over a decade to go from the much beloved D2 to this D3.
