A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

I’ve played Diablo 1 and world of Warcraft which is slightly similar, but just tried d3 a week ago. I play most games on my switch, I grabbed the eternal edition a while back. The spec system looks really basic, but it gets fairly deep with runes and legendary items. What amazes me the most is the speed, there are a ton of graphical effects popping on high level gameplay, and zero slowdown even with 100+ enemies casting spells constantly. I’ve maxxed two characters so far and gearing them now.

I've been disappointed with how much de-syncing and rubber-banding occurs in D4 so hopping back on D3 is a breath of fresh air

I loved Diablo Iii but I could not stand having full equipment and then spending the next 40 minutes min maxing and checking what I wanted to keep..got old fast..

D3 had a bad reputation at launch because it was a sequel to an all time classic and had very big shoes to fill, as well as RMAH, but it's an absolutely solid game now and yes, it is very well optimised

I remember playing it together with a friend on release day. We beat the game the same evening and were bummed how few maps there were, how quickly it was over and how it wants you to just start the loot spiral so quickly. Haven‘t played it since, so it might well be super good now. Oh, ‘member the real cash auction house they eventually removed? lol
