Default Re: Is D3 worth the $55 upgrade from D2?

You're missing a lot of things. Like how if you want maps/mods, D3 is where you want to be right now. Or multiplayer. Or that dom3 has gone through a bunch of patches since release and has a huge amount more content and presumably a lot fewer bugs than dom2 at this point.

I can't fathom any game that would release that much new content/etc without at least turning it into one or two expansions costing at least $30. Have you ever played starcraft, for example? In the original starcraft, the first expansion consisted of something like 6 new UNITS, split across the game's 3 facctions. It didn't even add any new races. Then compare that to Dominions 3, which added two entire new eras consisting of something like 20 new races, which all have at least a dozen or more units per race. Dominions 3 is a steal.
