I played OG Diablo 2 for years, and I plan on playing this. However, I'm still pissed that they took an ugly stuck to all the character model faces. They tried to write it off as "problematic old designs", but there's no excuse for it. They hyped up how they painstakingly went to great lengths to make everything as close as possible to old D2 (just with updated graphics), but completely screwed that part up.

Do you even see their faces past the character select screen? I've seen people complain about this one, but I have no idea why it matters so much. Most of the time your character is too small on screen to make out any details on their face.

Sure it was amazing for its time, but there are 100 aspects of it beyond the graphics that have aged poorly which they don't seem interested in improving. Believe it or not, games continued to advance more than in just graphical fidelity over the last 20 years.
Disagree, if you think Diablo 3 is better than more power to you. Its just a preference.

I am glad they are preserving Diablo 2

Actually, yes. Various helms in the game show your face. There was nothing wrong with the old faces, but for some reason they called them "problematic". Next thing I know the amazon has an extremely masculine face, and looks like a 50 year old chain smoker. The Paladin looks awful, the Assassin's face looks swollen, the Druid looks like a meth dealer, and the Barbarian looks like Dave Bautista.

diablo 3 definitely has a much better ui, better controls, and is overall much more smoother feeling.

it's to be expected, given that diablo 2 came out 21 years ago, but it very much is a game from 2000. it just does not feel good, or even work very good, compared to todays standards.

Fun fact: Diablo 3 and Diablo 2 are not the only ARPGs

but that aside even though I like D2 more than D3 overall, there are still plenty of things D3 did better that D2 could benefit from. It's not an all or nothing thing.

Well lets see. D3 felt like WoW combined with Diablo and not the good World of Warcraft either.
personalized loot is a joke to me. I know it pisses people off when people take loot they want but I like the free for all nature. Skill trees is another aspect I enjoyed in Diablo 2. Diablo 3 had a weird perk system that you could change whenever. Atleast in Diablo 2 you had only a few respecs and had to earn the rest.
a part from the ambience and randomness of Diablo 2 I enjoy what many find tedious about it.

to say Diablo 3 is objectively better than Diablo 2 is like saying Classic wow is worse objectively than retail.

they are just different games. If you want more Diablo 3 look to Diablo 4 which will supposedly take inspiration from both.

Its like saying morrowind is worse than Skyrim. It is just your opinion.

Saying its more cumbersome when many people love those rpg features that get in the way of your call of duty fantasy of being able to Rambo through everything with no tedium mechanics to draw you in. Red Dead Redemption 2 will be looked at as being bad for its tedious realism mechanics in years too I bet.

you are stating your opinions as facts.

fact is you could argue Diablo 2 or 3 is better and have perfectly valid reasons for both.

I do think respecs being readily accessible is generally a good thing. I prefer having actual specs over D3's "pick which skills you want on your bar," but being locked into a spec unless you roll a new character just makes trying out new builds more time-consuming than it needs to be, which really encourages following somebody else's build instead of experimenting for yourself. Gating respecs behind some sort of challenge or other non-trivial time investment is reasonable, but it shouldn't be too hard to get them.

There are some aspects of D2 that were cumberson/tedious like arrows running out, stamina needed to run etc. Most of that was removed with project diablo 2 though. The game plays very smooth, graphics are almost on par with D3 in my opinion (updated graphics but not a whole new engine like D2 R).

I'm still playing D2 every day a month later, and in fact have not played any game this long without getting distracted and moving on to another game in years.

I played D3 for less than a week, getting the remaining characters to end game and maybe playing them 5-10 hours after that before getting totally bored.

I've literally gotten 4 chars so far to near end of nightmare only (played all the classes again though, just only 4 to almost hell diff). Tons still for me to do.

I think it all comes down to finding an ability you like...

Diablo 2's Druid has that really cool giant whirlwind that fills the whole screen and Sorc has that Forzen Orb that's really cool and fills the whole screen and Paladin has that spinning hammer that's not that cool but still fills the whole screen.

Nothing in Diablo 3 extends more than a few inches (screenwise)

And Leapquake fills most of the screen with explosions, a couple Wizard builds spam meteors everywhere, Haunt bounces around to everything in sight (and then some)... There are plenty of flashy screen-clearing options to be had.

Sucks for anyone playing on consoles though - no lobbies is going to ruin it. Better get it on PC if you're going to play it at all.
  1. People can still play with friends?
  2. I have no plans on playing with other people at all. I was always a solo diablo player to begin with. It's much more fun and actually somewhat difficult at times unlike just stomping everything with tons of people

They didn't learn from D3? That, or maybe they're deliberately trying to hamstring this so D4 seems more appealing when it drops.

That's not remotely true. My phone can't. Maybe it's my service that doesn't allow it but it's not an option.
