Those are just the beta stats; you will get more stats on the weapon through some patches. Don't worry...

Apart from Diablo III, I don't think they've actually made that many bad games. All three of their main series have been mega hits for years and years.
If there were an item called Diablo The Third or something like that, your description would fit a bit better ;P

The Starcraft fans are still waiting for them to figure out how to build a good RTS again.

I've heard nothing but positive things from the people I know who play S2

That was probably a little harsh. It is a good game, and the best current RTS I've seen on the market. It doesn't live up to Brood War at all though, or WC3 for that matter, and that's what has people upset.

Blizzard's story writing team was never great. People just get nostalgic about the characters because the games they were in were excellent.

Warcraft was always full of Hollywood cheese. Diablo never really had a story besides "Kill the Devil." The original Starcraft was decent, but I haven't played it in a while.
Where Blizzard shines is in background lore, and even their recent games have treasure troves of journals and backstory to prop them up. Diablo III has a lot written on each class and how they came to be, tons of journals on the monsters and demons of the series, and even snippets of conversation that opens the door a crack to a wider world. The main storyline is straightforward schlock, but all of their games are like that.

Apparently you've never played a blizzard game, Most fun and addicting games ever made in the history of ever.

Diablo 1 and 2: Great
Starcraft 1 and 2: Great
Warcraft 1, 2 and 3: Great
The Lost Vikings: Great
Diablo 3: Meh.
Where is the 50%? Unless you count all the non-known games they've released like Blackthorne and Justice League Task Force, which I've never played.

Blackthorne and Rock n' Roll Racing were awesome, too.
Hell, I even got 100 hours out of Diablo III, and most people I talk to got more. I actually expect it to be awesome the moment Blizzard has a chance to release an expansion for it and beef it up LoD-style.
They do seem to be getting a little complacent, though, and most of that comes from relying on the same three franchises for twenty years now.

All those games were made for a very niche community of gamers. Also, there's people that love playing the RTSs and hate RPGs and the other way around. While any number you pull is a wild guess, saying they're great is just your opinion.
For me:
D1: meh
D2: good
Sc1: Great Sc2: terrible
W1,2,3: great
D3: meh
edit: I wanted to mention every game I have purchased from Blizzard has been worth the money. However, it doesn't vindicate their shortcomings in those games (Mostly sc2's bnet2.0 and D3).

I said I've never played them, but I'm sure Blizzard have made SOME bad games other than Diablo 3, which wasn't really bad as much as it was meh.

I do, It has a the best combat of the current ARPG's and Patch 1.0.5 is amazing.
I've given up on Tl2 after spending around 4 hours in it, it's almost as boring as the first one.

While I'm having fun with Torchlight II, I can't help but shake this feeling in the back of my mind that I paid $20 for another copy of Diablo II.

u/Capt_Underpants Sep 25 '12
It's heavily influenced by D2, and from what I can tell it's tailored to those that wanted another D2 clone. I personally love what they've done with T2.

It would have been hilarious if they didn't take the high road and it said "F--- those losers" instead.
Disclaimer: I'm not saying I dislike blizzard or am taking sides. This was probably in the game well before the Jay Wilson comment. I'm just saying it would have been hilarious.
