Since there are tons of CE circulating (and yeah, many of them are in the hand of scalpers), 150� and over are an absolute overkill.So, I bought my copy of D3 CE on eBay, after Amazon.co.uk kindly marked my preorder as "Undeliverable" (after hundreds of orders placed with no problem) forcing me to spending quite a lot of money. But hey, "I'm a Diablo 2 fan, sometimes money does not count" I said to myself. It's impossible for me to count the hours I spent playin' Diablo 2 and LoD (and not mentioning the first Dablo). I think I'm probably in the range of two or three thousand of hours, since just the last year I spent about 4/500 hours at least on D2 + LoD, so believe me if I say that I know the series very well. I was full of expectations for Diablo 3 but unfortunately this just a big disappointment and not because of error 37 (which was an issue of...

D3 is a lot quicker than the others - you can move through the game so much easier and get things done a lot faster than the first two. When you die, you start at the last checkpoint, there are a lot (a LOT) more tele pads about the place, which mean you can start back where you left off, and you don't 'drop' your body, so to speak, when you die. This speeds the game up soooo much - if you die, you wait a few seconds, then charge back into battle. While this can be good, it's also a fairly annoying change from D1/2 when you have to go and find your corpse and collect it all up again (it makes D3 too rushed, I felt).As you play, it recaps over the first two games well, which also makes it difficult, I think, to move on and make D3's story its own - it keeps referring back to D1/2 ideas. It is essentially built off the back of D2, as you'd imagine. Good classes, though. All have their quirks. The idea of achievements, I...

I mean, it's Diablo; a monster-bashing dungeon crawler, with a decent bit of a story to give it all a point. So yeah - it's a good game: When you're able to play it.And that's the point. I'm not some entitled, bitter fanboy who'se disgruntled by the plot, gameplay, etc - my issue is purely practical. I'm also not normally someone who likes reviews about a product's DRM, but it's relevant here because you are always required to be online. Ok, I don't like that normally because it makes me feel like I don't actually own the game, but, ok, whatever you need to do, Blizzard. The issue is - it hardly ever works. I'm not joking, sadly - check out some of the forums on the Blizzard site. This is the same company that runs WoW. You'd think they would understand that if you are going to release a product like this, requiring connection to a server in order to be able to play it, then you need to create a server room with sufficient space, and you...
