You act as if remakes never ever happened, ever before. Were you just born or what?

I think the issue is that they're taking the place of new games instead

But they are not. Blizzard has teams, not just one single group doing stuff.

People bitched from the rooftops that Diablo 3 wasn't Diablo 2.5.
Blame them.

I'd be happy if they were remakes. They're remasters. The same game released 20 years later at a slightly higher res. It's just annoying how more remakes/masters are being pushed out instead of original ideas these days.

Diablo 3 didn't have runewords, its bosses had their loot tables nerfed to the ground so all you can do is farm generic rifts over and over. It got old real fast.

What part of teams do you fail to understand? Hell new IPs are not even that great. The fail more often than not.

People always say this every time a company does it but it's never the case.

There's nothing wrong with bringing an old piece to a new audience.

How many Baal runs did you do before that got old?

This. A random dungeon with completely customizable difficulty and random bounties are infinitely better than Meph/Baal run #7,923.

Also runewords sucked. They were too hard to come by and not enough variations to warrant experimentation. And most were useless while a select few for basically essential. So it boiled down to looking at a guide for the OP ones then farming for days or trading to get the rune you need. It added exactly zero gameplay depth.
