sure the atmosphere is great and all but the gameplay is just not fun. I don't get why it's still considered as peak ARPG when there are much better alternatives

>>736215289the problem is that it’s just potion slop. every boss or “tough” mob area just depends on your potions. oops ran out of potions? drop a portal and return to town to buy more potions so you can return to the fight. not much outplaying or skill until you hit the harder difficulties and maybe you can’t just stat check with potions.
I love it I just wish high runes would drop I never find any.

>>736215289Because you have to play the original, without addon, without addon patches (so versions 1.05 or 1.06), as addon AND addon patches from 1.07 to 1.09 change some mechanics and add a lot of clutter, while 1.10+ "streamlines" the game (in fact, remaking it into much easier version with a lot of simplifications like boosting power of summoned skeletons with rank in Raise Skeleton rather than just their maximum quantity, so stupid retards, who can't read, wouldn't whine, that their "maxed" skeletons die easily instead of leveling appropriate Skeleton Mastery).Always. Play. Original.
>>7362161201.10 is just bad and was a sing of the new blizzard philosophy. Just gutted the previously well tuned difficulty curve through Normal and Nightmare for the sake of flashy numbers and "engagement".
ok zoomer
>>736215289it was insanely fast and gory for an isometric RPG at the time. you would play baldur's gate 2 for the story and diablo 2 for the combat.
>>736215289The gameplay is still kinda good compared to poe, grim dawn etc. The basic feel of hitting a monster is just better in D2. I'm not saying that's impossible to replicate/improve, just that nudevs (sadly) have failed completely.
>>736215289Name them
>>736215289only diablo 1 was good. diablo 2 is the worst of all worlds. it also introduced corpse fetching. Boy would I love to commit disproportionate violence on whoever was responsible for introducing that original sin to video games.
>>736215289Yeah, its gameplay numbs the brain after a while, but Diablo 2 aesthetics are so good, people actually still playing this game for that reason.
