Diablo 3, is the reason that this blog has been lacking in new entries recently. Since the first version of Diablo, I have been playing this game again and again with different class and different difficulty. Followed by Diablo 2 and it's expansion pack, also tried different classes and difficulty. It's one of the most played RPG game by me, besides Ragnarok, the famous Korean MMORPG.
After a long wait and delay, finally Diablo 3 is here on the 15th of May 2012. to steal boyfriends away from girlfriends, hogging and draining your graphic card all day long, Making you believe that you are the hero that saves the world from the prime evil, Diablo.
My brother pre-ordered a copy of Diablo 3 and it arrived the second day after the debut. He took his sweet time to play during the day time and I get my chance to play during the night, usually around 2 hours. I start off my first day by playing Demon Hunter, I loved ranged heroes more than melee heroes by the way. Spent the first day exploring around, reminisces the bits and pieces of Diablo 2. Diablo 3 has a lot of similarity with Diablo 2, i.e. the town names, the map outlook, the quest involved, the bosses fought. I ended my first two hours of gaming by killing Skeleton King, one of the bosses in Act One.
The game play in Diablo 3 is pretty much the same, but with some tweaks here and there. We are still required to explore maps, get quest and kill bosses, but a few things has been changed instead. We can no longer customize our character according to the build that we want. Stats are automatically added upon leveling up. Skills are unlocked instead of adding skill point. Skill levels are replaced by skill runes, which will be unlocked when the level requirement is reached. Skill combos are more important than spamming skills now. One can only use 1 skill from each set and there's total of 6 sets of skills available once u fully unlocked it at higher level.
There is no longer a stamina bar there, which means we can run freely around the map without worrying of exhaustion. No more element resistance stat, no more consumable items (arrows, darts, traps), no more mana potion (replaced by hatred, discipline, spirit etc.), and many more to be discovered by yourself.
In short, the game play is much easier than Diablo 2 with less things to be taken care of. The player can concentrate in hunting/crafting equipment, and plan the best combination of skills for various battle scenario. This may favour some players, but maybe not for hardcore old timer/fans. So, after 4days+ of demon slaying, I finally killed Diablo in Normal mode, on and off, which equates to the total hours of 13 hours game play. With the completion of killing the prime evil, the game will continue all over again in Nightmare mode, with stronger mobs and slightly different maps and quest. Since I have finished the storyline with my Demon Hunter, I probably play less now and concentrate back on the task I need to do. Perhaps I might hop back in once awhile to play other classes, or joining party to play in harder difficulty mode.
