It's by no means a bad game, but it's definitely not Diablo 2. Diablo 2 felt epic from the beginning, with large maps, lots of monsters and skill customization from the start. Diablo 3 is much smaller and simpler. I daresay it's dumbed-down from Diablo 2, which I never thought possible before but do now.

Was the beta every single Act or just one? Curious if people have played through everything or just a small piece of it.

Its only 1/4 (1/3?) of the first act.

Yeah it's just the first 4 parts (acts?), but those parts are small and fast, and the skill system is nothing like Diablo 2. It's simplified.

You know how act 1 of Diablo 2 instantly puts you in a large map outside town with the evil cave you have to clear? Well this one puts you in a tiny map (and I do mean tiny), and you can't go to tougher areas without clearing the previous ones.

It's not a bad game, but I guess after 12 years of the awesomeness that is Diablo 2 it's kind of a let down.

(or I'm judging too much, too early. I don't know what happens beyond these first 4 parts)
