Have people changed their botting times cus of bans?

Lol @ using "user" reviews though. People aren't reviewing the game subjectively. They are reviewing it as a one star because it's not the best thing ever.

I wanted to point out the large discrepancy between user and critic reviews.

I would say that both are completely subjective, as so called ``experts`` are not any more objective (view the movie F For Fake if you need a primer on the subject, or just want to watch something interesting). What I believe anyone can agree on, is that the average of critic reviews should not be more than double the score of user reviews (weighted average: 88% critic vs 40% user).

Keep in mind that this is an exclusively online game (focused on multiplayer) and also one of gamings most successful franchises (ratings should be a comparison to the previous titles). I mean, the majority of reviewers at GameSpot didn`t even reach Inferno, so what would they know anyways.


Perhaps such a large sample of user reviews yields a more accurate rating than the limited amount of critic reviews.


EDIT: It seems that many players simply aren`t afraid of getting banned, saying that the game isn`t that great, or they will just sell out soon enough. Either way, it seems that even in a community of hardcore Diablo gamers, who are willing to invest more into the game than the average player, probably feel the user ratings are more accurate than the critic ratings.

Bias exists everywhere. The thing is... Critics, or professionals, stand the chance of being paid off for great reviews whereas users are "offering" their opinion without ever having the chance of being bribed. Who's right and who's wrong is all subjective.

Users are overcritical expecting the game to have 10 years of replay value since it's a blizzard title, reviewers probably played the game once in normal and weren't able to see the flaws that only exist once u hit endgame. Game isn't great but its solid imo even though im bored to death of it. If only the itemization and character customization wasn't so bland, might have held interest longer.

Yes, critics can be biased, and an average score from real life gamers would be a better estimate. Except, the low scores are due to a whole bunch of nerds feeling self entitled and giving it 0/10 because they couldn't connect on launch day:

PC News: Diablo 3 user review average plumits to 3.6 on Metacritic - ComputerAndVideoGames.com

Oh shit, your whole argument failed just like your face.

NEXT!

It would be impossible in reality to rate the game 1 star.

Makeup your mind, man. You keep getting yourself into corners then you try to claw your way out of them. Originally I posted only about blizzards admittance. You're quite all over the place.

I suppose it can't be helped that people just want to disagree and argue. Hell I find myself wanting to argue with this...person if only to try and enlighten him to possibility. Now I realize... This is not a person, but rather a troll. Do not feed the trolls. Leaving thread.

Didn't you say you weren't gonna respond to me any more a few posts earlier. Now how can we believe anything you say when you contradict yourself within a short time?

GG, thanks for playing, better luck next time kid.

Touche **** head, Touche. Your correctness has trumped mine on that statement alone. Though, you still stand corrected haha! But really I give up with arguing with you because we will never agree. Have your victory, good sir **** head. Lol.. I need to get a better plug in...
