Frequently asked questions

Q:Why doesn't this article mention the poor player ratings from Metacritic/Amazon/etc?

A:The aggregate rating is not considered a reliable source, so cannot be included on its own. Only discussion in reliable sources is included in the article, and in fact, it already includes significant discussion of players' response to the game.

This page is not a forum for general discussion about Diablo III. Any such comments may be removed or refactored. Please limit discussion to improvement of this article. You may wish to ask factual questions about Diablo III at the Reference desk.

Possibly incorrrect info

I think that act II is a little incorrect. I will replay Act II on my switch it make sure. In particular: Emperor Hakan II is a previous character from a lore. I thought Caldeum had an empress. Would you be okay if I change this? L10nM4st3r (1) (talk) 13:10, 6 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, nevermind. It has beeen a while since I last played. It is emperor. Maybe I was thinking of "Emperor Hakan I" L10nM4st3r (1) (talk) 13:57, 6 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

About reception

In cases like this (Metacritic metascore 88 vs Users score 4.1), in which a game has very good reviews from official sites (which very often is part of the marketing), compared with general bad reviews from the users (also reflected on future sales and migration of the player base to the competition, like Path of Exile); shouldn't figure the Metacritic user note alongside official notes? Also maybe with an explanation about main gripes the community had about this game (like the real money auction house, the poor itemization, and the over simplification in gameplay). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Antarte (talk • contribs) 21:17, 23 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

With the release of this video giving a very detailed and sourced review of the game's development, release, and reception, I feel like this original comment by Antarte has even more weight. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCRzuvwMDUs 2600:1700:4281:4100:0:0:0:32 (talk) 02:12, 14 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This is not a reliable source by Wikipedia standards. Also this comment is 4 years old. -- ferret (talk) 02:19, 14 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
