I think it's just the cool thing to do on the Internet to hate on Diablo 3 - it had problems yes (some of which got blown massively out of proportion) but overall it was a decent game. Sure the connection issues at the start were pretty troutty but once everything was up and running I really enjoyed it and it's been a regular go to game with some of my friends when we fancy doing some co-op demon slaying and always results in some good laughs. It's not without it's flaws for sure but Blizzard are one of the few companies that continually invest into their titles even after they've hit retail shelves.Originally Posted by Bolivar
Damn I thought I was controversial bringing it in at number 8, but I think you might want to seriously run and hide for cover for that one.
It's also one of the few games that I've ever bothered sitting through and doing the repeat playthroughs on harder difficulties and completing Inferno before it got nerfed without using any cheese builds is one of my biggest gaming accomplishments.
The only other things that rival it for me are Borderlands 2 and XCOM as joint 2nd.
This time last year I would've said Guild Wars 2 and Diablo 3 would've been the top of my pickings but GW2 was a massive let down for me and I just get disappointed when I think of all the unused and wasted potential in that game.
My top 10 would be something like:
1 - Diablo 3
2 - Borderlands 2
3 - XCOM: Enemy Unknown
4 - The Secret World
5 - Final Fantasy XIII-2
6 - Assassin's Creed III
7 - SSX (would be higher if Mount Eddie was in at launch and the stupid Deadly Descents thing didn't exist at all)
8 - Dishonored
9 - Torchlight II
10 - Halo 4
I would put World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria on there but didn't rank it on the list as it's an expansion pack.
