Diablo 3 was mediocre because the entire genre has been trumped by MMOs.
Diablo, x-craft, WoW and HS were all landmarks in their time and good examples of what grandparent is talking about. HotS was beaten to the punch by LOL and Overwatch who knows.
- minimaxir 11y agoThe real reason Diablo 3 was mediocre was because of the balancing around the Real Money Auction House and the perverse incentives that resulted. Since it was removed, and now that they've been adding good content for free, the game has improved significantly.
- Steko 11y agoDiablo 3 was one of the most successful game launches ever and well reviewed across the board. The RMAH was a fixable issue, Diablo 3's primary problem -- which is something every Diablo clone has also had to deal with -- is that the Diabloesque hack genre that was one of the dominant genres 15 years ago simply doesn't hold players the way other top games do. People come back to WoW becuase of the social stickyness and the frequent content updates. People come back to LoL because of the head to head gameplay. Diablo's offer of running the same content until your brain explodes to get that an item with slightly better random stats just isn't compelling in 2015.
