Well its close to the end of the first week, let me state that first. As expected there were launch issues dealing with people not being able to connect to the game or achievements not being saved. One would think with the amount of pre-orders and a company having created one of the largest MMO’s (WOW) an issue of this caliber would be no problem for them. Maybe I don’t know enough about their infrastructure, all I know is not to wait up for the midnight release on a weekday when one has work because the simple fact that I wont get it is in my future. Instead wake up early the next day and get it, well it worked.
Back to the game… So far my initial impression is that the game is really short, or quick to beat, obviously they want you to run through each difficulty. I do hope that it changes in some shape or form because I don’t have the attention span to waste time and play the same thing over and over in hopes of getting some kind of epic look.
My usual friends have been able to blow through the game as I expected them to do but I wonder what will they do when they are done? I guess only time will find out. Graphics are pretty cool and a definite improvement from Diablo II. The difficulty thankfully gets harder as you go through the “Acts” in the game, I was worried when the first Act was done and I had not even died once.
