I got home last night and had Diablo 3 installed and playing by 7. I had to force myself to top at 11. A ton of fun - and I played solo the whole time (aside from when 2 of my friends joined on their level 1 characters just to make my game more difficult).

Gonna try to jump in with some of my friends tonight - but it seemed like a real blast. I just wish it didn't require online access to play a single player game :/. I understand that they don't want item duping since there is an auction house - but why can't there be a separation of "open ladder" where you can play either offline or online and then a "closed ladder" like they did in D2?

Loads of fun, and to the people on the fence about this game ..... If you liked D1 D2 youll love D3 I also played solo through normal mode and had a great time and unlike the other instalments this one really did challenge me (once I got into Nightmare diff) so give it a shot I think you can evan do a free trial through your battle.net acc



P.S. Battle tag is Cindel#1724

I tell ya... It's nice. I like it and I don't regret buying it.

But... I'm having a hard time figuring out why it's better than Torchlight.

My thoughts exactly. I think I actually prefer Torchlight to it and am really looking forward to the second game.

I'll agree with the redundant complaint about Torchlight. But the game mechanics are just better. The whole pet thing is a scream and there's all kinds of enchanting/adorning stuff to keep you busy.

When I leveled in D3 and saw the skills screen I was overcome with massive "...really? that's it? THAT'S my customization option?" They really fell down hard on that. Unless something's coming that i haven't seen yet... something huge.
