D3 was a legitimately bad game... TERRIBLE....

Was it ? Where did you get that from ? Did you even play it ? Citing from Wikipedia:

More in the critical reception part of the wiki page.
Roachor:
It sold great based on hype, everyone I know who bought it complained that it was too short and half made. I personally haven't liked a blizzard game since starcraft so I never bothered with it. You can't trust the major critics because they are paid to give good reviews, anything that has a big budget behind it gets good press.
Surf:
Because sales figures are always a sure fire way to tell if some game is good or not, let's remember fallout 3 and how "good" it was eh?
The entire development and release/the current state of the game (diablo III) is just one big fail.

And who to trust ? Your friends ? I played both games and even though the release od D3 was hastened, numerous patches made it a solid game.

Sales and criticism are the only measurable factors, what else do you want to consider ? Gossip ? Some community's opinion ? I posted that because according to LostSoul, D3 is a terrible game which is likely false.
Maybe F3 didnt appeal to hardcore Fallout community, but for an average Joe, the game was good and people were having fun playing it. Thus, the positive reception.

I've heard the same things from fanboys about warcraft 3 (shit) and WoW (total shit). Personally I thought diablo 1&2 are shitty point and click adventure games with poorly planned skill trees, cheap recycling of enemies and lazy generated maps.
