The game isn't as bad as many people make it out to be, but it's not very good either.
I think it has a lot to do with your expectations from the game.
If you're a somewhat casual player, experiment with a lot of different characters and like to try different skill builds, play on Hardcore and take it slowly,
you'll most likely get a decent gaming experience, especially if you have some like-minded people to play with.
But if you're the kind of die-hard player that wants to rush to the "end game" as soon as possible, consider everything before it as just a passage point and optimizing your equipment is the main reason you play (opposed to playing for the sake of the story/killing monsters), you will most likely burn out very quickly.
There are many reasons why D3 isn't suited for this purpose, which are very well discussed in the D3 general forum (notably the "fundamentally flawed" thread) so I won't drag this thread into that.
