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.
>the gameplay is just not fun>I don't get why it's still considered as peak ARPGisometric arpgs aren't funhades is a straight up improvement on the format>enemies are actually threatening and require reactive gameplay>you get a build online in 10 minutes or less>variety each run keeps things fresh>picked a shitty build by accident? no worries, you'll have a blank canvas next runif you really want diablo style combat try halls of torment for a tighter loop
>>736215795it's also more fun when you're just casually playing it with friends.
>>736215289>game provides zero direction for builds and offers LIMITED respecs per character in a 25+ hour RPG>obviously never get enough points to max out everything so you need to be very selective or you can potentially allocate in a way that makes higher difficulties unbeatableYeah noGreat as the atmosphere and general gameplay loop may be, having to have a guide open for basic level ups is atrocious The remaster should’ve included infinite respecs (buyable with increasingly more currency, but still infinite), because I’m tired of getting too far and realizing I’m hopelessly incorrect because I didn’t respec at level 18 to completely change the direction of my character Also shitty that not every class is viable on higher difficulties Barbarian is supposed to be a very simple introduction to the game, but without picture perfect item drops, you quite literally cannot clear content like Sorc can3 at least has the decency to make everything viable
