WHY NO Diablo 3 RATING, gamespot??

is the game so bad??

why doesn't gamespot give a bad (real) review to diablo 3?

gamespot rates games as soon as they are released

THEN WHY NO RATING??

Duke got 3.5 right away! As soon as released

They're probably playing it over on all the difficulty levels, including hardcore mode. That's the only way they will be able to give a fair review.

This post is so dumb it makes my eyes bleed. Have you done any research on diablo 3?

The servers were not open to ANYONE prior to the release on May 15, so reviewers could not post a review. They are currently playing through the entire game and exploring all it has to offer before posting an official score. This may take about a week, so expect the review around 5/22 or so.

I would've, if it sucked then I'd be pissed at Blizzard. After waiting more than a decade, it was worth it to find out for myself. You hang every purchase on Gamespot reviews? For what it's worth, the game is amazing. Solid 9.5 in my book.

1. Shut up 2. They're not programmers, they're game reviewers. 3. They have to fit in other game reviews at the same time 4. Diablo 3 will be quite a lengthy experience with heaps of content, they are trying to get through all of it before they write a professional review. 5. Diablo 3 is a big release, they aren't going to skip it just shut up and be patient. 6. Read other reviews if it matters so much to you 7. The game will be available to buy for years to come, who gives a s*** if you have to wait another couple of days for Gamespot's review. 8. Shut up. 9. They don't review games as soon as they are released, they review them as they get them and are able to play them, which in the case of D3 was the same day as everybody else. Sorry I had to tell you to shut up so many times but your claims of Gamespot being biased in regards to this game and your entire first post are just plain moronic.

I would rather wait and have a proper review than have a fast review of someone who has just played half the game.

No, it's because they didn't have access to the servers prior to release. Come on, really?

Hahaha. Wow. Just wow. One, it hasn't been a week. It's been 5 days. Two, it has a player score on metacritic because hundreds of idiots went and posted 1/10 reviews 5 minutes after launch because they mad about lag and disconnects. Three, reviewers aren't necessarily supposed to be "pro gamers", and even if they were, you couldn't write an objective review after rushing through the game skippning sidequests and lore, and then didn't bother with the higher difficulties. Gamespot is taking a little longer than usual to review this game because they actually have at least some shred of integrity and professionalism in their work.

Don't even bother waiting for the review here. Ignoring the fact that Gamespot has a history of padding scores and sacking people who don't follow the practice, the reviews usually just boil down to a summary of the pros and cons of a game. There is no reason why things are good and bad, no real comparisons to other games in the genre, not enough time is spent to research and understand the game and the use of a scoring system.

No, he or she said "pro gamers" but made it into a compound word so it is a bit confusing.

Anyhow, does anyone really expect anything less than 9 on this site? It seems to be Gamespot's score for most hyped games.

I don't expect anything below 8-9 cause Diablo 3 deserves it.

I tend to like the reviews/impression at RPS but mostly because they don't give scores in their reviews. They did not have nice things to say about Diabo 3:

Gamespot's editors have a policy to finish the game, both single and either co-op or multi (whichever a game may have).

They also have to wait for the game to be submitted to them for review, and that's contingent upon when the publisher sends it.

Lots of over-generalizing here. You need to start looking at the entire database instead of select games. Was Amalur "padded"? How about that Revelations game that got a 1.5?

My answer: I don't know. Probable answer: They're still working on the review. Troll answer: To throw off suspicion that they *sold* the review. Blizzard's answer: It'll be ready when it's ready. Cow: moooo

I don't want to read that in case of spoilers. I'm 7hrs in, still in Act 1 and so far so good. The game is fun, the dialogue cheesy in some parts but I was expecting that, Co-Op is great, the only thing that let me down a bit are the graphics.

Because: 1. They can't actually play it 2. They're waiting for their paycheck from Blizzard 3. They're afraid of posting an honest review Or a combination of all 3.

I love Diablo 3, but damn, they hit the nail on the head.

The game could have been a game-changer, but it feels like Diablo 2 with better graphics and painful DRM.

First off, terrible poll. Second, the game had a rocky launch but is still a great time. Funny to see the Gamespotters that go out of their way to bash hyped up games no matter how good they actually are. I was pissed off at the issues at launch but happily enjoying the game now, your loss bro.

Hahaha. I didn't. WhenI learned what the word "week" meant, it was explained to me that it's 7 days. Not much confusion there.
