Glad I didn't purchase the Expansion

The ethics of this game are soooo questionnable.
It's much more like "rentability, the game" and no, i'm not even exagerating, look at the history of the pc platform and you realise this, and unfortunately these "values" (more like, lack of "values" and inredeemable boring repetitive, soulless gameplay) seems to not bother players much anymore, only looking for the better exploit on how to get lvl max faster, or get gold faster.
This is not a game.
If you're looking for a story, you're looking in the wrong place. That's not what Diablo is about. The story, like with every loot-based action RPG ever, is non-existent. The closest thing you might get to Diablo with a good story is the old Divine Divinity (and their new game that's coming out this year--backed by Kickstarter.)
I'd suggest Infamous Second Son if you want a good action game with a story. Stick of Truth if you want an RPG with an awesome story.
Every themepark MMO out there (save TOR) is based entirely on these principles. Are they not games?
You'd be surprised what people enjoy doing.

I like the adventure mode / rift thingy in this exp. And the story is miles better than the awful D3 base one.
Gdemami -
Informing people about your thoughts and impressions is not a review, it's a blog.
So you spent 3 hours watching something in Youtube that you had no intention of buying in the first place about a game you felt failed coming out the gate? That's like listening to the latest Justin Beiber cd and making a post about it even though you knew you wouldn't like it.....welcome to the far corners of the internet I suppose.......LOL thanks for the laugh.

Do you want a cookie?
Man, i sure wish i had consulted the OP before i bought the expansion and started having great fun playing!
I never played Diablo 1 or 2, I bought Diablo 3 + RoS two days ago and i'm enjoying it so far. The story is by far not terrible, it's okay.
Nostalgia is a major defect of our brain and everything was better back then..
I've got the same feeling about some games and if I replayed them now it would most likely disappoint me.
This.
D1 story was as generic as it get. I would be shocked if majority of players say they played D1 for years because of its story lol.

I don't mean to sound like a jerk or anything but Im pretty sure no one who plays diablo/poe plays for the story. We play for the loot. And ROS added random maps aka Rifts. Random Maps are what most of the people I play with are playing now. Before that we would grind areas for gear and paragon (CoTA and Arreat anyone). The mystic is another addition that us RNGeezuz fiends love. Please dont trash talk a game (Even one that had a bad launch originally and missed the whole point of the genre) before you have actually played it. Basing your judgement on a trivial 3 hour story (very slow btw) that almost no one cares about anyway that you WATCHED rather then playing is really ludacris.
The name of the game is efficiency and phat loots.
RoS is a 8/10 xpac and worth every penny. Ill give it a 9 when the ladders come out in 2 or 3 months. It lost 1 point for story
As someone who is pretty critical of the franchise, I can say I do not regret buying two copies. I bough one for the lady and played on her account yesterday while she was at work and liked it enough to buy one for myself. We just beat the expansion so now we have the adventure mode to look forward to next play session. I think the expansion is shallow and have said as much already, but the game has improved enough that if you enjoy ARPG's for what they actually are, then it is easy to get your $40 worth. Now if anyone complain about shallow story and loot grind, then I have to call to question why they play ARPG's in the first place.
I do agree that the story was lacking and the expansion was short so I can see why that would turn some off. If it wasn't for real life friends and family playing I would have gladly passed myself seeing as how I don't care for the slim pickings the expansion actually offers thus far. We shall see how much adventure mode actually improves over the stagnant campaign grind.
RIP Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan and Paul Gray.
I agree completely.
I didn't play much after the initial release, but started up again a couple of weeks before RoS and was very satisfied with the changes. Also very satisfied with the expansion.
Anyone who bought it because of the story, haven't understood what the game is about.
This remind me something, what very often I heard about WoW: "I've played for 5 years WoW and somehow didn't suck me up".
Personally, I'll buy it (D3+RoS) in near future. Cheers!
how about maybe other people enjoy games differently than yourself? Maybe some of us like it for what it is and think the 40 dollars was worth it? If you do not like it thats fine you do not have to play it but to say something like that is extremely self serving only.
F2P may be the way of the future, but ya know they dont make them like they used to
Proper Grammer & spelling are extra, corrections will be LOL at.
I laughed so hard reading this... so... you WATCHED the gameplay, and then post criticism... um... yea... doesn't sound like something a gamer would do.
The xpac is well worth the $, the story (while predictable) was/is NOT the focus. The story is simply a placeholder for the gameplay to exist in. The music, the class skill choices, the environments, and the mobs are polished and well done. I've said before, the music alone will pull you in (and I do understand that is a matter of taste).
WATCHING gameplay and pounding your chest, proclaiming victory for NOT engaging in said game is pathetic.
Still playing through Act V - been powerleveling up a Crusader.
Expansion is worth $40 for Crusader, Transmogrification, Enchanting, and Adventure Mode all by itself.
Not to mention all of the 2.0 features and tweaks and the AH being shut down are part of the expansion as well (just given to the whole game freely as well.)
Act V is like an added bonus, IMO.
