never understood the appeal of half-assed skinner boxes, but if people are happy let em. but these people are never happy so I wonder why they bother.
Diablo 3 has the best gameplay in its genre (which isn't
great, but hey). Attacks feel heavy, powerful and satisfying, unlike its competitors. Unfortunately, all the external factors (poor itemization, shocking lack of randomization, little build creativity) make it tiresome after the addiction aspect wears off.
Diablo 3's gameplay with Path of Exile's external mechanics would be the best loot whore game ever.
