ITT: games better than 1 or more of their modern sequels
most of them?

What, are you saying it's not as good as Diablo 1, due to the fact that 2 isn't retro?
Or are you saying it's better than 3 despite not being retro?
Either way, you're wrong.

Pretty much. Considering the audience, this thread may as well be "retro games with non-retro sequels".
>>3222143
yep

Games better than one or more of their modern sequels, and it's definitely better than Diablo 3.
I don't know what confusing shit you're talking about.
>>3223038
Because D2 is not better than D3 and neither one are retro.
>>3223123
You don't know what semantics are.

No, it's a computer game released in 2000. We have a clause that covers computer games, not one that covers operating systems.
We turn a blind eye to D2 (and Deus Ex) but on paper they aren't technically /vr/.

Irony.

Are you saying a 16 year old game isn't retro? In what year does it become retro then? 2017? 2018? 2019? 2020?
And are you saying Diablo 3 is better than Diablo 2?? Diablo 3 is an abomination compared to 2! Path Of Exile is a better sequel to Diablo 2 and it isn't even a sequel.

Never.
According to /vr/'s rules and everything I've heard in other threads, the age of the game is irrelevant. What's important is that it was released before 2000, with DC games being the only exception. The year 2000 threshold is not going to be changed in future years or next gen. Don't dispute it, unless you really want to derail a thread. I don't personally agree with it, but rules are rules.

Slightly incorrect. The focus is more on the console(or in PC's case, the operating system) it was released on. PSX games are ALL legit for discussion, even those released after 2000. Deus Ex is one of those grey areas, as it worked on Win98, though janitors will remove such dedicated threads from time to time. Thief 2 is still fair for discussion, though it was released in 2000(probably because it works in Win98).
Diablo 2 might be okay here, Diablo 3 is definitely not.
