After some thorough playtime with a Monk and a WitchDoc, I came to the humble conclusion that Diablo 3 is the best Diablo clone since Diablo 2.
Never ever trust watching videos and then judge it, always rape the mouse with your own claws. It's the only way to be sure.
Manually adjusting stats are gone, but I never felt that was important in the series. Graphics style is nice and moody, the music is nice and moody, the combat has a satisfying punch to it, the whole thing overall just radiates charm and Diablo atmo. What's not to like?
Pre-Ordered.
But but...
Shut up Morgoth!
