Pro Fun to collect loot
One of the better parts of Diablo III is collecting the piles of gold, the colorful gems, and various pieces of equipment. It's especially exciting when a legendary quality item drops from a monster since it makes a distinct sound effect and shoots a beam of orange/green light into the sky. So whenever a lot of legendary items drop all at once it just feels incredibly satisfying.
Pro Decent selection of character builds to try out
There are more than 50 distinct class/skill combinations, including ranged builds, melee builds, support builds, defensive builds, pure-offense builds, and many more. You're sure to find a build that you'll enjoy playing, whether you prefer to play alone or with friends.
Pro Great voice and motion capture acting makes the game feel more realistic
The single player campaign features a large role acted out by Kevin Spacey appearing as his actual likeness. The rest of the voice acting is also top notch. Combined this makes for a more realistic experience in that you feel more like you are watching live action, over something that is animated.
Pro Good amount of customization to loadout gives the player a lot of choice
With 13 different slots to mix and match the player's loadout, there is a good amount of customization, allowing each player to perform differently. This way you can figure out the best methods that work for your specific playstyles.
Cons
Con Endgame grinding can get really repetitive
The endgame in Diablo III consists of only two things – completing bounties and clearing greater rifts. Both of these have very little variation in them, so quite often you'll run through the same map layouts, clear the same enemies, and complete the same objectives. This gets extremely stale after long play sessions and can cause you not to pick up the game again.
Con Lag due to lack of dedicated servers during multiplayer
Most likely due to penny-pinching, studios that produce Call of Duty games refuse to add dedicated servers to the multiplayer of their games, even though the lack of it causes lag for many users.
