I enjoyed D3 for the mindless grind. It's therapeutic, much like Dynasty Warriors.

I liked D2 more.
Could play offline alone if I felt like it.
Wasn't WoWiefied.
And it had a fucking necromancer.
Also I was younger back then and I had friends.

God Diablo in D3 was such a cunt

I do like it though, play it for a few months every season to grind new characters and sets and enjoy the activity while it's fresh, then put it down till next season. It's responsive as fuck compared to other arpgs, I've played grim dawn, poe, torchlight, and other various arpgs trying to have fun and d3 just got it right.

Fun usually lasts till about paragon 500-600 for me then I get bored. I don't get why people play non seasonal though.

>>334947916
As a fan of the Diablo series, I think 3 is the weakest of the 3. It lacks substance, inspiration, originality, most of all it lacks the dark and desperate atmosphere which is a quintessential characteristic of the franchise before it.

It reeks of WoW and jewish merchant money grabbing. That's why I play Grim Dawn now. It's more Diablo-ish than Diablo 3 anyway.

i didnt buy the RoS expansion coz there´s not really that much replay value to a storybased game. it should have a 5v5 like LoL has to keep peoples interest.
note blizzdrones adding more health to a boss does NOT make it more difficult it´s wasting my time. i know how to beat the game mechanics, nothing changes with mathematics.

Yep, I have lvl 70 of every class and like 700 paragon. I've played it quite a bit, anon. I thought it was ok.

But d2... it was great - the atmosphere, the soundtrack, the itemization, runewords, story... I've probably dumped more time in d2 than I'd be comfortable admitting. And I don't regret a second of it.

Meh, the repetitive grind for cookie cutter builds based on sets gets really repetitive, leveling on the game is more like a tutorial than anything else. There's also very little variety since rifts and bounties share the same map and the same monsters.

Diminishing returns in just about everything kill any ability to make an original build.

Diablo 3 had major flaws with endgame managing to be worse than doing Baal runs with bots somehow.

Diablo 3 ROS tried to reinvent the game but basically just made the game a grind in which marginal utility from actually doing endgame is diminished to almost 0 within 3 hours every season

it isn't even the same game any more. I literally lost all respect for blizzard after playing d3 for a few months after it came out. I was pissed/bitter that the RMAH and shekel generation took precedent over having a fun game. I gave up on blizzard for years as a result.

bought it last year on ps4 and i still play it every night. it's fun now.

I'm glad we're starting to agree that D3 being shit is totally fine because if you pay Blizzard even more money the expansion supposedly fixes problems that shouldn't have been there in the first place.
Surely there won't be any negative consequences in the future for rewarding companies for releasing bad games.

I really like D3, I have since the beginning. However, I haven't played it in two seasons, adn i see no reason to do so until there's a new xpac or more significant changes, PoE has just eaten the genre alive. Besides D2 is getting remastered with new content, it's only a matter of time until the king has his crown returned. D3 has always functioned as a fun, casual ARPG to play as a break from PoE, at least for me. But PoE is so encompassing at this point that there's no reason to paly D3. I'm seriously fucking excited for D2 Remastered though.

Diablo 1 has great atmosphere and a decent plot, not to retarded or comic booky, gameplay is pretty bad, game is overall pretty basic and lacking.

Diablo 2 has awful repetitive and boring gameplay, everything looks the same, the classes are all dull and boring itemization is garbage items are bland stat increases 9 times out of 10, classes are unbalanced and some builds are completly usless, the atmosphere from the first game is gone and the game looks and feels like a saturday morning cartoon, the plot is deviant art levels of awful and it rapes the lore hard and the game offer's absolutely no challenge

Diablo 3 (RoS) has great gameplay with plenty of replayability and loads of extra modes, plot and atmosphere is better than 2 but not as good as 1, music is amazing and fits really well, classes are very well done and play differently from each other, spells are all useful and satisfying, the game has great items with loads of depth and customization and no one build or class completely dominating.

The only people who think D2 is good are the casuals with nostalgia goggles on, D2 was casual garbage back in the day and it still is now.

They rushed the game out too quickly and had no time to animate spells for different weapon. Each spell is tied to one weapon.

I don't really blame the developers for having to rush it out. They're paid to make the game when the shitlord publisher says so.

- story is awful and dialogue is cringey and poorly written
- atmosphere is lacking
- immersion is constantly broken by NPCs/villains popping up to taunt you
- itemization is terrible. No variety, just stack main stat and life, crit, attack speed for every class
- rares are useless, legendaries are mostly just rares with better stats and occasionally one gimmicky proc/ability
- set items make all other gear obsolete
- due to set items being so dominant, viable builds are limited to skills augmented by sets
- gets very repetitive. I came back last season, got my free set, got bored within 3 days
- the idea of being the Nephalem is bad because you are the canon most powerful being in existence and, therefore. Nothing in the story feels terribly threatening. The evils are always running from you. In Diablo 2, you were basically just some dude and the odds always felt stacked against you. Made for a much better narrative
- the characters give you no reason to care about them
- game feels like it's structured more like an MMO than an ARPG
- damage of all your skills including spells is based on weapon damage, making for bad itemization

I think that about covers my grievances.
>>
>>334957979
Probably because they actually played it.
>>
I'm not really sure what i should do in d3. Just rifts endlessly for better gear or is there more to it? Also there don't seem to be a lot of people playing. Haven't really seen more than 40 players on a difficulty. This is on pc
>>
>>334958938
> itemization is terrible. No variety, just stack main stat and life, crit, attack speed for every class

This is wrong, you're supposed to get every part of the best set for each class now because there is only one extremely good build.

There are builds that have nothing to do with weapon damage or crit, or whatever. Each class has tons of different builds, not just based around sets but also legendaries. Yeah, rares are useless, but so what? Why does that strike you as such a terrible negative. And most legendaries have unique effects these days. The ones that don't are the minority.

Why even have rares, then?

Path of Exile gets this right, in my opinion. Rares potentially have higher stats, uniques are build enabling and give you the ability to do things you couldn't otherwise do, usually at a cost.
>>
>>334959787
We're talking no difficulty. D1 and D2 are levels, fucking echelons more difficult than 3. And they're not fucking hard. 3 is the easiest piece of shit, no challenge, no character build game.
>>
The teal gameplay is strategizing builds and figuring out/executing best wait to obtain those builds. Then you click. Another part is positioning during fights and knowing how to approach certain monsters. Knowing when to just dive right in or when to play a bit more coy. Also picking out your signiture look at the mystic and choosing the right dyes to look your sassiest.

I don't play shitty games that has "endless" content by only raising monster stats and not adding anything new as you "progress" that just turns into a gear check.

Suffice to say I was able to beat torment 10 within 3 days of the newest season, there isn't much reason to play after that. Unless you give a shit about leaderboards.

I uninstalled the game and I really can't be bothered to reinstall just to prove that. Regardless of what you think it's a shitty game anon, you can gear cap in 3 days (I did with the new season) I know you can roll perfect stats on ancient items but why? I don't care enough to min-max so hard that I can clear an additional grift level. It's just boring. Now you could say the same about grinding Meph all day for Diablo 2 but at least there was a end goal in sight. Defeating the ubers could take many months to grind out the gear obviously that's not an example of difficulty but neither is a endless dungeon. Both games have their retarded shit but at least you have a goal in D2.

-No Gloves/Boots sockets with unique effects
Complete destruction of trading.
Charm bag previously shown completely scrapped (would've been a nice money sink)
No light radius
Made other players' pets transparent but didn't even think to do the same to other players' abilities
Switching acts is a retarded pain in the ass
