>Only a handful of armour bases are ever used because strength and dex are useless stats>same goes for shields for all casters>Only 1 weapon base (phase blade) is basically ever used for melee because the devs thought it was a good idea to give only 6 slots to a couple of weapons >runewords completely trivialize early game item finding>melee is still complete garboThis game is beyond scuffed, it's hard to believe it's considered the best game ever made. I'm sure there is loads more but I'm not a pro
Yeah it's pretty bad and nobody seriously considers it the best game ever made. It's not even the best ARPG
>>746483505this shithole and my favorite youtuber say otherwise
>>746483421>>746483505Are you poo2 eating retards going to have a melty in this thread too?Get over it, poo 2 has failed.D2 was and still is the king of arpgs.Seethe, cope, dilate, roll in shit etc.
>>746483647Titan Quest is the king of ARPGs, troon
>>746483421>>746483505>>746483556Kill yourself, zoomies.
>>746483647what the fuck are you talking about?
>>746483647>D2 was and still is the king of arpgs.if the bar is this low then the whole genre is trash
>>746483674I played it for 4 hours and it was the most boring shit I have ever played.
>>746483674Who are you calling a troon retarded faggot?
>>746483683Yeah pretend it wasn't you and this thread is totally organic...You are pathetic.
>>746483421I like Diablo 1 because it's an actual good game with an ending.
>bring up valid criticisms of d2>immediate schizo seetheD1 is better btw
>>746483421>armourYou need to be American to understand.
>>746483695So you are either a poo 2 cultist that is mad about other arpgs even existing because his game is complete trash and ruined by troonathans "vision".Or you are simply a tourist and therefore you should be expelled from the thread.
>>746483421Diablo 2 is a bad game because it made ARPGs be about grinding loot and building your character as opposed to crawling dangerous dungeons.
>>746483723>>746483760>D2 fags filtered because you have to actually theorycraft in TQ instead of levelling a sorc and spamming teleport and blizzard
>>746483885haven't played either PoE games but you should be grateful that Borderlands revived your dead genre into something fun
>>746483797>"you're pathetic!" screams the person dedicated to shitposting a particular topic on a Mongolian basket weaving forum
It's a 10/10 game when you're playing it at 1am on a Saturday on the PC in 2001, there I can understand it.Overall though the game is a 7.5/10. Really the only time the game is interesting is in the prison dungeons where you have to utilise the lighting and field of view and it's the the game actually feels like it's presenting choices and tension to you.If you look at areas like fucking Maggot Lair though, my goodness.
>>746483812D1 is only "better" because it doesn't compete with your trash game.What valid criticisms have you brought, the ones who show that you are completely clueless and haven't actually played the game ?I don't know who you think you will convince before gamescom is over.Most people here have been playing D2 probably since before you were born zoomer.
The current iteration of Diablo II is different from when it released. You don't know how much the game changed post synergy patch.
ITT: pots calling kettles niggersnewsflash retards: all arpgs are boring garbage for dumb blacks.
>>746483421Just don't install the expansion
>>746483421Played "the definitive way to experience D1" aka belzebub mod and what a fucking shitshow. All bosses added by this fuckin mod completely destroy the pacing and turn the game into a boring, unfathomably unfun slog where you got to grind if you're so traumatized by modern arpgs that a short good game is too simple for your fried brain. Fuck this mod
Why is some random ESL freaking out about path of exile in a diablo 2 thread
>>746484131Based. Always said it D2ifies D1.
one playthrough on normal on each character that looks interesting is all you need.going through it multiple times on one character is autism
>>746483908Hello /tg/, this is a video games board.We discuss ViDEO games here that people play on computers.I think you are in the wrong board.
>>746483914Your game does not exist yet fag. Wait until it actually comes out and we shall see.
>>746483932Oh hey Randy, still not buying Borderlands 4.Maybe when it gets an 80-90% discount.
>>746484079Blacks do not possess the mental capacity for RPGs of any kind.
>>746483980Hey if you make a thinly veiled marketing thread you bet I will be there to ruin it for you marketing Kun.Being a corporate shill is actually embarrassing work.
d2 is a glorified skinner box designed to keep people playing. d1 is a much better game.only con imo is that everyone is too reliant on magic and hellfire fixes this with the hidden classes
My only question is how did Marius make it all the way through the jungle to the temple of Zakarum on his own without his companion the wanderer? It's full of deadly shit little pygmy tribalists, poisonous mosquitoes, giant spiders and killer plants. just seems like a massive plothole.>>746483421Also yeah, i made a barbarian like 2 years ago and never finished it once reaching Baal chapter. You're supposed to do boss runs over & over sometimes like 1000's of times to get the rune / armor / weapon drops you need, every video guide the uploader is just teleport skipping everything rushing to the boss. Then you're supposed to do it all again on highest difficulties just so you can ... play some more? It's absurd. But if you make your character online you used to be able to just buy accounts with high-end shit for surprisingly cheap, I got a lvl 90+ hammerdin with uber diablo stat charms & amazing gear for like $20 bucks in early 2000's. Even used to install some program so i could get infinite skill-points on single player mode, shit was so cash.
>>746483421And yet it's still the best game of its type
>>746484361it is incredibly generous to believe the boring and repetitive combat in arpgs demands anything greater than the IQ of a vegetable. i will give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you aren't a nigger, but you ARE straight up delusional.
Some of the earlier D2 patches are so good it's insane, but it was already ruined by the time LoD came out. People talk about the casualization of gaming as if it's some recent thing but it happened to D2 well over 20 years ago.
>>746484275>Your game does not exist yet fagTitan Quest came out in 2006 and received expansions in 2007, 2017, 2019 and 2021
>>746484621Ok, so you are a tourist.So you made a thread to tells that you don't like arpgs.Ok cool story bro. Off you go then.Also, I am 100% whiter than you.
Yea it's shit, every class and build use the same handful of items but boy is it addicting. It shouldn't work but it does. It's gay Blizzard magic.
>>746484690Lol, you don't even mean the sequel.Ok, my bad then. I hope you find a better solution for your insomnia anon.I would recommend grim yawn but I think you are covered.
>>746484738>So you made a thread to tells that you don't like arpgs.>Also, I am 100% whiter than you.unlikely with that grammar you stinking 3rd world nigger monkey.
>>746483421It's considered one of the best games ever within its own genre for the few years the genre was new while other games tried to catch upAnd even then it was fucking unplayable for the most part till 1.10 revamped how Hell and Nightmare worked along with making way more skills viableDiablo 2 Ressurection with mods is definitely worth the pirate
>>746484804>Well you see doing 2000 Baal runs for shit all is actually super hype dudeD2 is utter dogshit. Only 2 viable builds per class.
>>746484893What is phone posting and autocorrect you gorilla nigger.God you are so pathetically insecure.And before you play the 'poor' card.My tablet is more expensive than your shitty PC.I won't even talk about my actual rig.Fucking amerisharts everywhere.
this guy types like an eastern euro esl
>>746483421With LoD the game basically became a collection of worst possible design decisions that they only doubled down on with each patch. Everything good about D2 is a holdover from when they were making a game like Diablo 1.
>>746485013>casually admitting to phone postingi cannot fathom a bigger tell that you're some obese fat lipped nigger retard. legendary blunder. bravo.>God you are so pathetically insecure.>proceeds to get defensive over non-existent poverty accusationsAnd the icing on the cake:>Fucking amerisharts everywhere.it is terrifying to think about what kind of lovecraftian negro abomination you must see staring back at you in the mirror every day
>>746483421>Only 1 weapon base (phase blade) is basically ever used for melee>>746483812>>bring up valid criticisms of d2strength and dex are not useless, shields are not useless for casters, 6 socket phase blade isnt even a popular weapon base. runewords dont completely trivialize early game item finding, maybe trivialize weapon/shield slot mid game.melee is too gear dependent but not as bad as retards say.
>>746483723I got up to a desert area and just started with their version of runewords or something and bounced off of it. Cant remember why but I remember it just being a neverending slog with no real reason to progress other than "gdi I have to get through this fucking area then I guess, fine"
When D2 came out there werent really any real time isometric-ARPGs that were even close to as good. Like diablo 1 was actually the second best.most iso-arpgs today have worse itemization as well. D2 isnt perfect but its still something special in its own genre.
>>746484992>Only 2 viable builds per class.just stop playing paladin
>>746485752>but not as bad as retards say.Yes, you just have to run 5000 mephisto runs on your lvl 90 sorc to find items so your melee alt isn't complete garbo
it was one of the greatest games ever made back at 1.10, they ruined the game with 1.11 and 1.12 so badly that a thousand of us in Southern California rioted at the Blizzard headquarters and set their gates/buildings on fire.Back before the internet and gaming in general was invaded by shitskins.i was gonna post my "Dear Blizzard niggers" letter but i have the photo on an old hard drive in my attic.
Should i pirate the original or the remaster? are there any changes besides graphics?
>>746483421>looks at mixmaxed end game guides with absolute BiS meta item selections>"hurr durr why does everyone use the same thing????"If only we could figure it out.
>>746483421Project Diablo 2 (mod for D2) is the best arpg ever made. Also vanilla is good and what you say isn't true.
>>746484047To worse after the synergy patch.
>>746483505Diablo 1 was the only good arpg
>>746486843>let's aggravate the problem putting poo1 in D2
>>746488145go down and down some more then go down again
>>746483421all of this is fine, the absolute most offputting part of the game is the incessant potion juggling necessary to progress at any speed at all.chugging potions to run, chugging 3 mana potions per encounter, chugging health potions, making your merc chug potions all while your belt has 12 slots plus your entire inventory having 30 something free slots after the tomes, cube and charms. you cannot spend 5 minutes in the game without exhausting the potion supply and then having to go back and do the inventory dance again, unequipping belt tricks, spamming mouse key+enter over and over and over.that and slow movement speed of most classes in general are the worst offenders, otherwise the game is great.
>>746484990Which mods??
Ohh look a non D2 demake thread shitting on the original legendary popular gamewho else could have made this thread but a seething russian tranny
