So I know that many here are all "Torchlight 2" this and that, but well.....I'm a fan of Diablo III.
So my first two impressions....
1) The game load time was sooooooooooo very long.
2) The game servers have crashed...yet again. I haven't been able to play at all.
At least the music is nice.

The installation from Disc failed (had to do the associate my key online BS like I did with StarCraft II) ... is Blizz purposefully making shitty discs or is it only the ones I buy?
The installation from DownLoad took forever and a day to DL, and once I was installed and ready to go, it was even longer till I got online and actually "adventured" due to server outages.
The "online only" gameplay also pissed me off to no end ... I have serious problems with where Blizz is taking PC gaming.
Once in (I did not do any Betas) I was over-joyed to finally be playing DIII (a dream I will admit held since 2001) ... but upon playthrough of three different toons so far, I find myself even less happy to trudge through the same BS as I did in DII ...
The reason I looked forward to playing DIII was that I could now avoid other people like I couldn't in WoW ... I didn't need others to progress ... but I am seeing now, that to truly go far enough into DIII I will indeed have to enlist other players.
Also - the leveling of the BlackSmith and Jeweler requiring book pages pissed me off to no end, as well as the limit of what we could give to our followers for gear now.
Granted, upon re-read this post sounds like I hate the game, which is not true ... I just can't/don't love it as much as I would've hoped for ... the story was so open holed and easy to read that I was calling out prior to each new Act what was gonna go down (and mostly right) ...
I guess it just begs the question - how many more Blizz games will I buy ... and the answer hangs like deafening silence in the air, because I truly do not know if I can stomach any more of Blizzard's BS.

So, I'm curious, is there any gameplay justification for always-online?

As far as I know it's just an anti-piracy measure. *NM*

There is no real justification from a user standpoint.

The game industry practically views them as the same thing. So... yep.

That part is not a justification for single-player online though. *NM*
