Well, I'm not putting aside WoW's expansions, for one. The game has gotten steadily worse and worse, to the point that I completely gave up on it.Originally Posted by Vivi22
Care to elaborate? I only ask because putting aside WOW and it's expansions, they've released two games in almost ten years. Granted, by all accounts Diablo 3 was terrible, and while I haven't played it, I can understand why from much of the criticism it got. But I did enjoy Wings of Liberty, even if some of the online bits they implemented (or perhaps more accurately, cut) irk me a bit. And from what I've played of the HotS beta so far, it's a delightful breath of fresh air after a couple of years of WoL. Like the jump from Starcraft to Brood War kind of delightful. I have no real complaints with it so far. They even added in some sorely needed UI improvements that probably should have been in the first game.
Diablo 3 is Diablo 2 with prettier graphics and even more heavily exaggerated flaws, and is probably my single worst purchase of the year.
And, frankly, SCII is much the same way. First there's the entire two year wait and extra cost for the rest of the campaign missions, which I'm not too thrilled about. There's the fact that micro and action speed is still far more important than overall strategy. I haven't played it pretty much since I finished the campaign mode. It just didn't sit well with me in the long term.
