    Diablo III
    Now that Diablo 3 has been out a little while I wanted to post a few thoughts I have about the game after beating it a few times. First off, its great and if you can get it I recommend you do as it did not disappoint. That said I did figure I would be playing it much longer than I did. I can't pen why I thought Diablo 3 would be all the game I needed for the rest of the year, but I did. I figured the replayability would be so high that I wouldn't put it down for 6 months. Thing is, that was me for a few weeks but after that my play time waned and I don't play it all too often anymore. I imagine ill poke around in it and occasionally put in more time but it started and stopped like any other game ive played. I may have played it less than Borderlands come to think of it.

    Recently Blizzards President took to the forums to address a few issues, some I had some I didn't. Interesting read for sure:

    All that to say, Diablo 3 was a great game, I beat it and I am a bit disappointed because I thought I would play it more than I did. In the end, playing it again a little bit harder than before wasn't as much fun as I thought it would be.

    Travis: I never got disappointed with it until I stopped playing it for the Steam sale. Now, I can't really imagine wanting to play it. Diablo 2 was definitely a pick-up and put-down game, though. I imagine I'll be back to Sanctuary many times until D4 is released.

    jdodson: I think I was starting to get weary of it when I started my second character class. Good game, I just Imagine I'll play Skyrim more. Maybe even Terraria.

    hardeyez: I agree, once I started working through Hell mode (and I upgraded the craftsmen until I couldn't as there is yet another resource for them that is blocking until Inferno mode -- which happened before I got to the skeleton king... same as happened in nightmare mode), it just started to feel like work and not "fun" so I played less. Now it just doesn't seem fun enough to pick back up.

    Maybe I'll feel differently after a few patches, or a few months have gone by.

    jdodson: I agree. I am going to keep checking it out and playing it here and there over time.

    Tungsten: Just started back up after getting back from vacation. I'm playing exclusively HardCore right now, and it's pretty fun.

    Tungsten: The lag monster (okay, I probably would have died even without the lag) killed a level 37 two days ago. I mourned for about 3 hours and then rolled a new Demon Hunter.
