So I played about 3-4 hours total, nothing to really be able to claim as a full experience but here are my thoughts so far. The game is ok, quite literally ok. I am not "hooked" or really have much desire to play it again, I multiple times found myself wanting to load up the beta for Dota 2 instead and stopped myself simply on account of having paid money for the game. I played a little past the skeleton king with a friend, hit level 11 or so with Monk.

I guess I am just getting older maybe, but I really find nothing that is entertaining. Story does not give me a reason to keep going, its cliche on cliche so far, even down to a damsel in distress that was a farmers daughter. Gameplay wise I appreciate what they were going for with all the skills unlocking, but to me it just means designs are irrelevant, your choices don't matter. As far as gameplay its easy enough at this point that honestly it takes no mental ambiguity at all. It honestly takes me more thought to play a game of pac man.

I guess this is not meant to be as a negative on the game for those that know that they still like this style of game. I am 22 now and was a kid for Diablo 2, I guess I have just changed since then. Its Diablo through and through, a little more simplified, if that makes you happy then power to you. If taking an already simply formula and making it simpler sounds like a step back to you then maybe hold off on a purchase till you can find it cheaper, or can test it out for a few hours at a friends place.
