Re-playability
We already know that Diablo 3 will feature tons of re-playability and some of those features got their start in Diablo 2. For example, most of the dungeons in Diablo 2 were randomly generated. You may have seen the same thing twice every now and then, but you really did not notice. This system is getting stepped up majorly in Diablo 3. For instance, some open path areas will be generated with different terrain, events and dungeons.
You also have different classes that you can play with to explore all of these areas. There are 5 classes and each class offers something different, whether that be a new mechanic or just a completely unique way to play. Couple this with the randomized item drops and you will be given a reason to keep coming back to Diablo 3 for years to come, just like people have been doing with the first two entries.
Difficulty
If you are a fan of Dark Souls, then Diablo 3 may be just up your alley. If you are playing the game by yourself on the normal difficult, then expect the game to be pretty easy. It is worth noting that the difficulty level will get higher as more people join the game. However, there are several other levels of difficulty of which there are: Nightmare, Hell and Inferno.
The new difficulty level added in Diablo 3 is Inferno. This new difficulty is aimed at max-level characters for challenging end-game content. It’s so hard that none of the developers at Blizzard have managed to beat it yet. They took one difficulty that testers claimed was really hard and they doubled the intensity.
Conclusion
Diablo 3 most definitely has a lot going for it and there is a lot to look forward to. By reading this article, you should be able to tell that I am just a little excited for this next entry into such a great franchise. I hope that I have convinced you to at least give the game a look. If you are one of the lucky few who got to participate in the open beta weekend not too long ago, tell us what your thoughts on the highly anticipated title are so far. Has the beta sold you on Diablo 3? If you are still on the fence, be sure to check back with us here at Just Push Start as we should have our Diablo 3 review up shortly after launch.

Both are easy for newbs, yet there is massive intricacy to playing them at higher levels.
Anyone that likes video games who is not willing to spend 60 bucks to play diablo 3 should get their head checked.

May 10, 2012 at 10:36 PMThis is a really poorly written article, I hope you’re not being paid for this, because I’m here to tell you, I deserve it more if so. Full of random errors and tangents about useless information. For example, it’s “prime evils”, not “great evils”.
