Anyone else participating in the closed beta of this? I just got my code and wanted to see how everyone else participating is liking the game.

The game is crap. Omg. (IMO) going from diablo to this is sad. Honestly, I just feel sad playing it. It has the vibe of a f2p game, which it probably is going to be with the micro-transactions, and the clunkiest controls ever and awful graphics. Ugh.

I agree. I wish I could've tried it before playing D3, but I doubt that I would feel much different. It feels like it's under water.

It's a beta, so it's whatever, but yeah, it sucks. I wish I could've given you my code, because now I'm stuck with like 20 achievement points in a game that there's no way I'd buy.

Ick. Sucks to hear some bad things about it. I haven't played Diablo III yet, so hopefully it won't be as bad for me.

I don't know who the audience is for the game. I'd think kids, because it seems pretty basic, but even my 10 year old got bored after a few minutes, and the gore (biting people in half and eating them, and defiling shrines by slicing up priests on them) really is beyond what I'm happy with my kids doing- and I'm pretty permissive. The gore seems contrived and thrown in for the sake of being thrown in, and left me feeling dirty and wrong, somehow. Plus, the multiplayer aspect is super confusing. People go in and out of your game or something, and you can't interact with them, or kick them, or join someone specific's game, or anything. Except you can apparently pvp through some spell you cast- and then there's spawn camping going on.

I think that just means one time use. Other gamertags on the same console can use the game once it is downloaded, as well.

I played this for a few hours this morning. Definitely feels slow coming off Diablo 3, but altogether not a terrible game.
It has some interesting concepts too--I especially like how you can instantly sell a piece of loot you pick up.
Cursing and blessing other players is fun, but I still don't fully understand the invasion thing. I kept having to defend my altars (hail the Dark Lady!) but I couldn't figure out how to attack other gods' with my 2 Ascended Champions.
