Gamers rip Diablo III a new hellhole on Metacritic

Diablo III has been out for less than a day, but launch issues have driven a number of gamers to find justice the only way they know how (other than increasingly ridiculous memes): negative product reviews.

Well, at least it’s super violent. Otherwise, it would be a complete wash.
