Why Blizzard’s surrogate ruins Diablo 3

By all accounts, Diablo 3′s narrative is bad. It’s a hammy tale told in a boring world. But the story is made only worse by Leah, who acts as a stand-in for the game's developers.

...
alot of people like the story.

A lot of people like Justin Bieber's music.
That doesn't make it any good.

kevnb5098d ago

if it makes people happy then why criticize it? I hate it too, and wish more music would get exposure but if millions of people enjoy it harmlessly who am I to ruin it for them?

@kevnb

Any justification of Justin Bieber's music is just sick! ;-)

I'm joking.

Seriously, the problem is people have limited funds to spend on entertainment. Every dollar spent on Justin music means there is less money being spent on other artists.

To many people the quality of music matters. Seeing artists with talent struggling when Bieber succeeds is disheartening.

I don't think most people bought this for the story. More likely for it's gameplay and fun. I haven't played, but from what I heard from my friend is only how much fun it is, the gameplay and the loot.

LittleBigSackboyPS35098d ago

Most "gamers" these days usually don't buy games for the the story.

The article is correct; Diablo 3's narrative falls short when compared to Diablo 2. The story is also very, and i say it again, very predictable. It's painfully predictable that you'd beg the story to deviate from its course somehow. The Stranger, Adria, Leah, they're all so predictable.

If you're still playing in Act 2 or 3 of Diablo 3, and you've read the last part of the paragraph above, and you feel like you know what I'm talking about, then chances are you're probably right about the three of them.

Blizzard Wants Faster Diablo Releases and More Expansions

Blizzard reveals plans to speed up Diablo releases with more frequent expansions and updates as the franchise moves toward a live-service future.

QuantumMechanic84d ago

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

VonAlbrecht84d ago

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

Christopher84d ago (Edited 84d ago )

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

Michiel198984d 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.

Michiel198983d ago

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.
