Current Events > I'm so annoyed by this Youtube video trying to say D2 was better than D3

(+) Yeah! (+)

How were the mechanics in D3 similar to WoW, like the guy who made this video is claiming?
Why is he bringing up the real money auction house, when that got taken out and fixed in due time and made the game tremendously better? He's also saying there were no endgame challenges? That also changed big time - there's WAY more endgame content than D2 EVER had.

Why is he saying that no skill resets are a good thing, in a game where you literally kill Pindleskin and Mephisto for hundreds of hours on the same character - and the genre's sole purpose is to replay endlessly to find better loot? Why is that good for novice players to realize once it's too late that they made poor decisions?

He's also saying that there's less creativity in the skill optimization in D3? You literally choose between all the abilities, as well as the runes attached to each one. You're not forced to min/max anymore in D3 than you are in D2. Honestly I was LESS creative in D2 when I was a preteen making 1001 different Zealadins or Meteorb sorceresses. There was also a huge imbalance in D2 - like who the hell played Druids or Assassins, or Necromancers without gimmicks and very specific, difficult to attain gear?

He's also defending trading in games, as if it's EVER implemented well? You'd literally just have people give you free good shit in D1 and D2 -- and the fact that the drops were shared made it so you literally fought over who would click faster. That was NEVER a good system. D3 did everything SO much better, and made me actually want to play with my greedy-ass friends.

I'm getting so mad at this video.

Ugh, now he's complaining about the randomness of rolls in D3 compared to D2, and talking about trading again.

The randomness is LITERALLY what the genre is built upon! He keeps comparing D3 to WoW, but then on the same token is complaining about the randomness and wanting trading so there's more interaction with strangers online? It sounds like he's the one who wanted an MMO
