I wasn't really expecting this, but I am having a pretty fun time with this game!
Bought this at launch and hadn't played it at all since, and only played a bit back then before shelving it. Was playing Path recently and started getting a little disinterested. Despite the huge skill tree it was feeling shallow and repetitive, both gameplay and environments. But that is just me. I know a lot of peeps prefer it over D3, my son for one.
On a whim I thought I would give D3 another look. Two days later the patch went live. Now I am playing through on normal nearing the end of act one for the first time. I have a Monk in his 20s and a Wizard in her teens. Both are fun to play, the moves and attacks are varied and lot of fun to pull off. The environments are detailed, there is entertaining rapport between NPCs. Some of the conversation is actually funny! There are nice touches of interaction with the environment too. Knocking over book cases, dropping chandeliers on baddies, breaking through barricades. Lots of dungeons scattered around for adventuring into.
I have changed my view on the art style as well. I use to think it was too cartoon, like World of Warcraft, but after spending time with the game the art style has grown on me. I only wish I could play at a higher resolution than 1920 X 1080, but that is the best my monitor will do.
As far as drops, so far I get plenty that are good enough to get through the game. I have a couple of legendarys, and what is really cool you are able to put stuff into the stash box that all characters on the account can share.
