You're being too hard on it. Diablo is a landmark game, that many others will be following. To actually hack 'n' slash in glorious 3D with 3 other players is something that's never been possible before. And you can't say the game hasn't taken its $10 worth of time out of you! I played for 8 hours straight two nights in a row when I first got it, and am still playing hours on end whenever I get a chance. The game is huge, with vast ranges of weapons and items to collect and trade. Just think about starting with a lvl 1 character going all the way through to kill Diablo. How quickly could you really do it?
