Speaking of overrated... I don't get it on this case. I mean with Skyrim and TLOU, I can understand why people feel the way they do about them but this?

Solo, I barely could play it for more than 2 hours. The game gives you nothing to work with. Just go around, kill and loot endlessly. With a friend on Co-op, well I think we played it around 10 hours, then our characters got to a point where they'd rarely acquire any new, interesting skills, and even on the hardest difficulty available for us, the game fell from that point. So we started again with new characters, played up to that point (early chapter 2 if I remember correctly) and decided to leave it for good. Also, headaches. Those expensive CG cutscenes and trailers were cool though.

It's odd that "Expert" difficulty in this usually feels easier than Diablo II's "Normal" mode. There is no option to go any higher until you finish the story and get your character leveled up, so the New Game experience feels a bit held back.

It's odd that "Expert" difficulty in this usually feels easier than Diablo II's "Normal" mode. There is no option to go any higher until you finish the story and get your character leveled up, so the New Game experience feels a bit held back.
Now I see where Lost Ark may have got this problem from—like in that game, the combat system may be a blast to use, but most first-time combat encounters end up pretty forgettable, so until the endgame it's kinda like... what's the point of all these tools? On the other hand, Diablo II and its expansion left me with such strong memories of different encounters and areas that were much more challenging either in their combat or exploration, even on Normal difficulty on a New Game.
I do think this is a much more fun game overall than Lost Ark, though, and its low-stress feel is really working for me right now without feeling like a bunch of filler content. Some of the improvements it makes over Diablo II in terms of streamlining annoying stuff are also really significant at addressing my hangups with that game that held me back from wanting to replay it.

I'm honestly impressed by just how bad the writing has become. I'm pretty sure the big reveal in Diablo 4 will be that a lady call Dee Ablo is actually the "lord of terror". Also at that point all big baddies will have WAGs. Like, in D3 Azmodan's girlfriend is Cydaea, the "mistress of pain" and in D4 Diablo will …

The combat looks and sounds juicy but the complexity of Diablo 2 is gone along with the gritty gothic art direction. Everything looks a bit too cartoony and the story is not very engaging. Although its says something about the game that I got to Torment XVI with a crusader despite these flaws.

Season 9 is over. Earned ~250-300 paragon into a HC Crusader (Altus Tabbeus), completed seasonal journey. Thorns Build with Invoker Set. Full gear. Didn't die. Solo in comfort >Torment 8-9.

20th anniversary event isn't very long. took about an hour. Nothing much to write home about but glad i checked it out anyway as it's good to be playing again (within moderation of course...) Anyone playing this by chance? I still love this game.

Season 8- demon hunter. Need one more achievement to get my full gear set. Need to hunt down more Forgotten Souls.

Finally picked this back up and am getting into it. It's massive fun on PS3, though even as I've gotten into the new systems, I sorely miss the depth of D2 (and who would have thought that Diablo 2 would ever be pined after for its "depth" as an RPG, hack-and-slash that it is?). If any of the missing elements …

If any of the missing elements of the first game (choice of stats, choice of skills, a PHYSICAL ATTACK with the weapon you have equipped) had been here, I'd have assimilated much more quickly, but as it is, it's taken me a long time to admit that this game is not its predecessor and get down to what's important: slaying goat people.
