Was I right to skip DIII?

Am missing out on something great...

I think it was worth the investment. It's not perfect, but don't listen only to the sour grapes. If you liked to play D1, or D2, then you'll enjoy D3 --- but, before you buy it, find a friend who has it and try it for an hour or so at their house first.

My disappointment is only in that it could have been epic, but what they built was a modernized Diablo II. They've done a superb job in remaking that game. It is fun to play, so that part is covered.

I'm just comparing it to other recent game releases like Mass Effect 3, Skyrim, SWTOR, Max Payne 3, etc... I feel the same way when they remake old movies... I usually ask why we needed a new version. Sometimes the new version is better, but it's still covering the same old ground.
