Diablo 3 is fundamentally broken

[ViralSpiral]

As with most online comments and reviews, the feedback you're seeing is HEAVILY biased toward the negative. I am not going to say that the game doesn't have it's issues, but it truly is a good game. There is more to the game than Inferno, which is all people talk about. Getting there is fun in and of itself and you will definitely get your money's worth.

I'm not sure it's necessarily biased. The first thing I noticed in Hell difficulty was that it was blatantly obvious none of the gear that got me there was going to be viable by the end of the difficulty. Trash mobs were taking 10-15 seconds to kill with gear that got me through NM almost easier than my time in Normal. Now I have two L32 items from Normal or shortly into NM. I expect those to be obsolete. However six of my thirteen items are L45-47 and shouldn't be immediately obsoleted by L50. First thing I ended up doing was going to the AH and plunking down 15K for a L51 weapon, which boosted my damage about 40% over the L47 I was using. Hell is basically starting the game over like Normal - none of the gear you start with is going to cut it later. I expected that in Inferno, but it was a bit of a wake up call first thing in Hell, with almost half my gear having been updated within the last five levels.

Of course I fully intend to get my armour over 5K, resists over 500, and at least 16K DPS before I even enter Inferno, and at least 20K DPS before I step in the Butcher's domain. I have no intention of taking it up the tailpipe from Enrage timers.
