Diablo 3 isn't a bad game at all, but a lot of the shell around it is terrible, such as the RMAH and always online.

Wait what? Diablo 3 was horrid. And this well....just goes to show why you never should expect Blizzard to make a good game

88% Metacritic. Why does that seem familiar? Oh yeah, Diablo 2 has the exact same score.

87.64% on Gamerankings

I understand for some it is hard to understand that simply not liking something doesn't make it actually bad, but it is true. For instance I don't enjoy Skyrim, but many did, and it seems like a fine game, it just didn't do it for me. I won't run around calling it horrid just because I didn't like it. The core gameplay in Diablo 3 is solid, and if you think it is horrid, you must have thought that Diablo and Diablo 2 were also horrid, as it is essentially the same. The level up system is different, but the point and click mayhem is the same. The story was Ok, and probably not as good as 2, to be sure, but then expectations were through the roof, which has a habit of making anything seem lackluster. Was it a great game? Nah. Was it a good game? Most certainly. Much of the problems are external; if it didn't have RMAH and 'always online' I don't believe we would be having this discussion.

When the game has as many flaws as it did I dare say that the game was horrid. Granted it was bit of the game that may have redeemed it and that was the cinematic bitzs. As for the story well the less that is said the better. And just because a few gaming related pages has given it good scores dose not mean one needs to bow down, and follow the herd regarding ones opinions about I dare say.
