Diablo 3 player Yoshichan has already beaten the game, and he’s lived to tell the tale!  In just 12 Hours and 29 Minutes, basically since the games release, Neogaf forum poster Yoshichan posted a picture of his endgame stats for a Normal run through.  The character he used for his run through was a frenzy barbarian with 415 dps unbuffed and about 700 dps buffed.  As people were wondering if he did a speed run Yoshichan went on to say:

“Now before anyone asks if I rushed the game… use common sense for a minute. Yoshi would never do such a thing on his first playthrough.

I pretty much explored everything since I got all the “throughout” achievements on every act.”

So there you have it.  The game can take about 12 hours to beat.  Now while that may seem short to people who’ve been waiting forever to play this game, know that the game focuses heavily on the multiplayer and co-op… and it has a plethora of difficulty options.  Yoshichan said he was going to to try nightmare right away, and the further along you get on the difficulties the more badass the weapons / armor you’ll receive get.  Now if he starts to beat the higher difficulties of the game in 12 and a half hours, I’ll be worried!
