Did Blizzard Blow Diablo 3's Launch?

Twelve years in the making, the sequel to the fastest-selling game in history, the new thing from Those Guys Who Do World Of Warcraft, Blizzard, Diablo III hit last week and… let’s just say it failed to live up to expectations.

Either one of those happened:

-Blizzard got lazy and didn't think it would be any issues
-Blizzard underestimated D3 popularity and thought that hundreds of thousands( or even millions, who knows) wouldn't play on launch night

But hey is Blizzard , is not that uncommon for their games to have issues on launch day.

Vanilla WoW's launch,BC launch, WotLK launch, SC2 launch anyone?

In fact it's not uncommon for most games with an online component to have problems on launch day.

Anyone who ever gets Blizzard games at launch would know they are always like that.

All I want is a physical disc release of remastered D2 that doesn't require online check-ins.

Ah, more and fast - the antithesis of careful and good

I've lost complete interest. Too much FOMO with seasons as it is, now it's expansions? No thanks.

Michiel198986d ago

what fomo? everything gets reset each season and you start new characters unless you're playing on the regular servers and then you're already maxxed anway and just need to participate in the new season stuff.

i played only during launch and i found the ones in that battlepass to be absolute dogwater, the only ones that looked somewhat cool were the paid ones in the store and i wont bother with either. The game itself was just so hollow, there were no cool builds cause every synergy was just "x or y skills does more dmg or has this extra effect" almost no experimentation needed, couldnt give a rats ass about armor if the core of the game is boring af.
