So, how’s your first Diablo 3 experience?

Over the week-end Blizzard Entertainment had a trial run for the much-anticipated Diablo 3. The Diablo III Open Beta Weekend will end in a hour but I was able to finish the limited game in less than a couple of hours yesterday.

Right after installing and loading Diablo 3, I was able to work my way into the game play without any issues. It’s either I have very solid memory of Diablo II from a decade ago or the new Diablo 3 is very intuitive and user-friendly.

A lot of the characters are still recognizable and the story-line is familiar so the nostalgia is at full gear. The graphics are really vivid, the attention to detail is impressive. I think it only took me less than two hours to finish the game (which ends at Level 13 with the battle against Skeleton King).

Here’s some clips from the game:

Can’t wait for the official launch on May 15th. I’ve seen a lot of folks uploading screenshots of their game on Facebook. Anybody else had a blast with Diablo 3?

Wow! Lucky! My download had some errors when it reached 70%.

Did you have any lag problems during the beta?

Yeah, on co-op games. I’m using 1.5Mbps from PLDT and I’m thinking on jumping to 3Mbps when Diablo 3 will be released. :)

I only found out about the open beta on sunday night so I was only able to squeeze in 2 hours or so last night before the beta ended. So far, the only thing I’m not so sure about is the direction they went with skills. As far as I can tell, all available skills unlock as you level up, and the only customization is which one you plan on using. However, I understand that this is a beta and things may change in the final product or later on in a future patch. Still… I’ll probably buy Diablo 3, despite these misgivings.
