I've been playing the trial version and like it pretty we...Am surprised it runs so well..I have an onboard GPU built in to my APU..HD6530D and it runs everything on high just great

I assume the full game would also?

The game is now 39.95..Is it worth getting?

The full game is unlikely to run any worse than the demo. If anything updates would suggest it runs better.

The game is okay - I played it through a couple of times (never beat it on Inferno, it was pretty tough initially but I understand fairly easy now) I bought it at launch and don't regret it but not as good as Diablo 1 or 2

Never thought I would ever say this.. But Diablo 3 is better on the console then it is on the PC.. Diablo 3 console = splitscreen multiplayer, can be offline, and drop rates that seem much closer to Diablo 2 then Diablo 3.. People gave the AH a hard time, and honestly it was fine.. What Blizzard did to fvck it up was make the drop rates so rare as to basically force the person to go onto the AH.. This destroyed the addictive magic finding loot runs of the second and basically made it into boring gold grinding so you could save enough to go on the AH to do something.. Now this may change come the expansion, but right now.. If you have a PS3 or Xbox360.. I would get it for that.

You do realize that because there is an AH, the drop rates are extremely rare "as to basically force the person to go to the AH." The problem IS the Auction House.

The full game should run just as well as the demo, although you may start to get some slowdown in late game/higher difficulties, when there's huge mobs, and tons of skill/spell effects going at once.

As for the game, I still like it quite a bit. The combat itself is second to none in the genre, so fast and fluid. It's the underlying systems of the game that makes it a mere shadow of what it should/could have been. Although, the upcoming changes with the expansion + Loot 2.0 + closing auctions houses are extremely promising.

My advice? Get Path of Exile, which is free to play, as far from pay2win as a free game can possibly be (that is, not at all), and quite possibly the best isometric ARPG ever made. Then get Diablo 3 later on, with the expansion and loot changes, and after the game economy has had a while to normalize and recover from the closing of the auction houses.

@ttomm1946: I also enjoyed Torchlight and Torchlight 2 quite a bit, but they didn't hold the attention well enough to continue playing after finishing the main campaign. You should definitely try Path of Exile. Much more engaging in the long run, with far deeper item and skill systems.

The game has improved massively since launch. They're removing the AH (real money and gold) soon which means they should be able to give decent drop rates and actually make the game more enjoyable.

.. No it is not, because the AH would have fine if they didn't do the extreme rare dropping rate to promote using it.. We had AH's in D2 online with D2JSP.. Hence why I said the AH in it self wasn't the problem, it was the fact of them forcing you to use it to get items because the drop rates were so low.. which was my point.

Hated DIII on the PC, but I love it on my PS3. I'm picking up the expansion for the PS4 also.
