I got a rare within the first hour and a half. The game is a bit different than what I played in the beta. I like the changes to the skills and runes. This game is definitely worth the money. I will be playing it for months if not years.

I'm with you guys, I played through slowly and soak it all in on my first play through when the difficulty is pretty tame. Do you have to beat the entire game to unlock hard? I was wanting to go through Act 1 again on hard soon, but I guess I can't.

I picked a Barbarian. I will probably make a Wizard alt.
