I guess it depends on how much you like Diablo 3, but this time stuffed with cosmetic micro transactions. Also the story is mediocre. If that sounds appealing, then yes it is good.

Feels like diablo 2 with better graphics. Yeah there's a money store, but i haven't touched it and pretty much beaten it, so its all up to you if you want to pay anything
I mean there's heroes whose basic abilities damn the souls of innocent victims all across the land, and ones whose abilities.... don't.
Eh its not really diablo 3, more of a sequel to d2, and the micros are in one tab and not at all in your face. I actually thought the story was the best the series has done, and leagues better than most blizzard ones.

That is the silliest thing to complain about "There is too much story" is a gamer complaint that hurts my god damn brain. Especially in a game you can legit just skip every dialogue and cut scene. So you'd have to sit there and watch the thing you say you don't like. Its like that person that watched 6 episodes of the boys and wondered if it gets better, bro why did you do that to yourself!

Also saying it's "stuffed" with microtransactions is weird. Like yeah, they exist, but they're all in the store tab which you can just never interact with. And having played the game since like Friday and beaten the story I don't think there was so much as pop up suggesting I poke around in it.
The most intrusive part of it was when your moving menus if you haven't opened the shop it has an exclamation point on it.

Eh, who needs a hundred raging barbarians running around who can kill a god? In a ruined land. It's like its own beginning to Korgoth Of Barbaria... I'd have complained about other aspects of the game though. Like how a Sorc has to use their ultimate just to cross the street without dying, or how i'd pay actual money to install a mod that lets me see the spiderwebs on the floor for the boss fights so that i have a chance against them.

I got D3 at 50% off
D 6's would be more useful, but D3's certainly have their uses.
When? Diablo III originally came out in 2012.
It definitely has too much story (as in, pointless walking back and forth and clicking on people), but thankfully, once you beat the story with one character, you can choose to skip it with all alts, including those already created, which is a godsend. Now I can actually play the game.
I almost completed the entire starting zone before I remembered there was a campaign I should be doing, but right now the main motivation is maybe eventually unlocking a mount (given the open world design it would be very useful), which appears to be gated behind campaign progress.
In that case, isn't that a case of "too much backtracking" (where the problem is that it artificially extend the story's length) as opposed to too much story?
A bit after the expansion came out. Before Overwatch sometime
And now Diablo IV is 20+% off. I mean, it's not 50%, but for a Blizzard game that hasn't been out 3 months yet, that is impressive/sad.
