Amazing game, Blizzard really out did themselves with this one. Graphics <3 Gameplay <3. And I absolutely love the class distinctions in this game. Much better than the first 2 games, about damn time this came out too! Kinda expensive though, I wish Blizzard would stop making their games so expensive! Luckily I got mine free at http://www.prizerebel.com/index.php?r=3693015 It's very simple all you have to do is complete a few offers and you can get it free, Have fun, and Good luck

The game has been out for just over a week. Server lag issues, random disconnections and auction house problems still plague the system. Sure, in the long run they will be fixed and all will be wonderful. However, my score reflects where the game was and still is. The game is great, and will be even better once these bugs are worked out. But it still does not change the fact that my score reflects how I feel about it. Great game, just has some bugs to work out.

Maybe im a hard ass when it comes to reviews. But, I have always believed in giving a fair assessment of a game. There are countless sites out there that review games and blow it out of proportion by over looking issues, be it major or minor.

D3 is averaging 88 on metacritic. So we are just below the average. I don’t see the problem here. At the end of the day, this is one reviewers opinion so take it for whats it worth. We are confident in our scoring scale and it is not something we take lightly. Fifty never said our scale was different but rather 50 is average and 80 pretty good. You can have a look at our scale on the about us page. We like to ensure we are not over-inflating scores and do everything we can to write honest, accurate, articulate, well written and professional reviews. You should really take a stab at reviewing a game for us sometime. Its not as easy as it looks

Character customization reducing the score as well is pretty lame. 90% of games don’t have character customization, plus with the amount of armor upgrades and the ability to Dye your amour peices mixing and matching it kind of does have some customization to it, maybe he hadn’t got to the part of the campaign yet or wasn’t in the beta when he wrote the review as its not availible till the 2nd or 3rd Act.

Mass Effect 3 doesn’t have character customization…. did it effect the score? Nether did/does Borderlands 1 and 2, it as well scored really good and I didn’t here of the lack of customization in ether one of those games.

As for the sever issues, ya it sucked, but it was a few hours a day for 2 days, does everyone hate on XBOX Live when it crashed a few years ago? Yes, did it effect peoples overall lasting opinions of the xbox? NO…. lol

I could totally understand if it lasted more the a few days, but it didn’t, and it only effected North America…. like I said before maybe the review was pushed out to fast before actually playing the game and giving it a chance.

Yes your right 80 is still a good score, but not when everyone else is giving it a 90-95 it just means COGs, or atleast this review has no credibility to most and they will over look it and the rest.

Fifty mentioned that the scoring system on COG is different from other sites…. why not have it the same? If its been working for years for everyone else, why try to change it and confuse everyone now? Wouldn’t be easier to use the same system as everyone else?

lack of character customization and reduction in the amount of players was also cause for concern for Merc. We still should not minimize the server issues as people pay a lot of money for a game that should work day one. No excuse IMO. Regardless, 8 is still a really good score.

Should elaborate, expecially cause the only real negaitives I understand he had with it were a few sever bugs the first 2 days, whopty shit, it happens and it doesn’t effect the long time exp or playabiltiy of the game, it was a few hwrinkles that were quickly ironed out and shouldn’t be held against the final score of the game.

Far enough, but then it makes his review not worth reading

Day1 – Bought game came home and found my DVD drive wasn’t recognizing the disk. No problem, I’ll just download the client. I try to login and realize that the android authenticator was no longer configured and I couldn’t find my passcode. (Opened a ticket with Blizzard). Went to bed.

Day 2 – Still no response on ticket so call billing and account support. After 30 minutes of guessing and testing button combinations because their auto-attendant was going crazy, finally managed to get in a wait queue… after 2 hours and 30 minutes I finally got through and got the token removed from my account.

Day 3 – Agent.exe errors. After plowing around for an hour and a half, found out there was a windows process that Diablo needed to update the installer file. Finally able to download the client. Finally got in and played for a couple hours!

This experience has made it so that I want to take a giant red demon possessed crystal and ram it into my brain.

On our scale 50 is an average game. 80 can be anywhere from a pretty good to very good game. It’s Merc’s review, if he wants to take some points off for issues he feels hurts the game that’s his perogative.

Although the review is complimenting I cannot let the launch day and server connectivity issues slide that easy. I know it will not effect the long run but the Beta for this game was almost 1 year. No excuses for what happened.
