they are not the same.

I'd be proud of it.
It's easily the best Diablo game ever made and has great sales figures to boot.

The forums are toxic,d3 gold, sure, but that's a small percentage of the player base.
Patches are part of Diablo's history,tibia gold.

I'm not entirely sure why people expect a near-perfect game on day one.
I guess I was in the minority in thinking it would take at least 4 years for D3 to truly hit it's stride.

Are you serious? D3 had great sales because it was sold on blizzards reputation and D2 alone. And nothing more. Had they let anyone go past lvl 20 in the beta, and actually test the game it would have sold horribly.

And I'm not entirely sure why people think that people were expecting a near perfect game on day one,wow gold. NOOBODY. repeat. NOBODY has ever said that,tibia gold. So its a bullcrap red herring to say so,d3 gold. But they had oh, I dunno, 7 years to get it right? But you know what, maybe we should expect a near perfect game for 7 years of development.

And whats with the people who are such apologists for games not being good on day one? If you bought a new car, would you be so understanding? "Well, the transmission is faulty, there is only 1 brake pad, the fuel line leaks, the power doors don't work, the AC doesn't work, oh and the battery has caught fire a few times...but I'm sure they can get it right!"

We don't wait for other things to not suck when they are new. We either demand it be fixed, pronto, or demand a new one,diablo 3 gold. Not make excuses for the people who provided a faulty product.

And D3 was a huge failure as a game because it wasn't made to be a good game. It was made to be a profitable game. And no, they are not the same.

You're assuming the game is broken from the get go because you expected something different. On it's own merits the game is actually good (not great, though),wow gold,rs gold, but it failed to live up to the expectations built over several years of anticipation and will inevitably be compared to the latest iterations of D2. However, a lot of people legitimately enjoy the game, despite haters' claims of the game being a failure and what not, and they will surely continue to have fun with it regardless of anyone's opinions about it. I find it quite entertaining, but not nearly as addictive as D2 used to be when i played it, but the combat system is engaging enough, despite the game itself being completely unrewarding.

This leads me to my biggest discrepancy with D3's design. Personally my only real quarrel with it is the profiteering approach Blizzard decided to take by including the RMAH, tailoring the loot system to suit a profitable model, which ended up tainting the essence of the franchise, turning it into a gold grinding/real cash sink treadmill instead of a compelling loot hunting experience like it's predecessor in order to make a quick buck preying on their playerbase's frustration. It's something they should be very ashamed of,rs gold, but i guess we should have seen something like that coming considering there's "people" like Kottick on the top.
