Fun game. Will play again.

Not enough hatred. Spam your M1 button for a while and try again.

the same people who care about skyrim, dragon age and mass effect

Codexers

Don't know how you came to this conclusion. What exactly is so awesome about it if I may ask? I really can't see it.
All I see is a game that completely lacks soul and feels like a software for getting loot.

Also Syril is a gigantic retarded moron. More dumb shit kids jumping on the "hating Skyway is so kewl and KKK" bandwagon.

Wow! Wait there! You said something positive about a game , thats twice i caught you doing that this year. You are getting too soft. And praising a morpg , the genre supposedly the pinnacle of decline no less.

I don't understand people getting upset over a goddamn hack and slash game. Is this still the codex? Are there really that many hard-core d2 fans around here?

Haven't really been paying attention to D3, but if there's no manual stat distrbution and no skill trees, then D3 can go fuck itself. It's basically saying "You're too stupid to be able to make your own level ups, here, let me do it for you. Oh, and I've already decided what skills you'll be using at what level. Don't mention it". Well, fuck you, I won't be talked to in that tone of voice.

The best thing about D2 was being able to figure out character builds. Sure, now you can just look up the best ones on the interwebs, but when it came out it was about experimentation. I remember having three different sorceress builds, and even though two of them were specced in cold, they required very different playstyles. And most importantly, there was the possibility that you fucked up your build

Oh, and single player DRM. GG, Blizz

I can't believe what I'm seeing; Skyway being the voice of reason.

I've never asked for this

For the record, I'm fine with people liking D3's gameplay and buying it. Simple things can be fun too, if executed well. However, the game is very clearly dumbed down in relation to D2, and claiming otherwise firmly cements the person as a delusional Blizzard fanboy. And on a purely mechanical level, I don't think turning D3 into WoW is a very clever idea. People play WoW and Diablo for significantly different reasons. WoW is so successful because it's essentially a huge chatroom with a levelling minigame in the background, it doesn't have 10 million subscribers because the character system or the combat model are especially good. And with the new Battle.Net being such a shitheap of consoletard design, I wouldn't be surprised if D3 goes the way of SC2, which has seriously declined in terms of activity since launch.

D2 wasn't exactly complex. Does saying that make me a Blizzard fanboy?

:ohwow.jpg: Seems you mixed up the genres a little there didn't you, even if this is true do you aim manualy with your sword in diablo ? didin't think so.

'Sperg away.

Sometimes less is more and fixing = removing, didn't you think of that ever ?

True.

and you still can do that by having different gear.

Health regen is only out of combat and incombat you will never regen enough to survive if shit goes wrong.

Guess you didn't even play to the Skeleton King, pick a Barbarian and go vs him and we will see how you will fare, only after this you can talk about 'health regen'.

Main scripted locations are present in diablo 1 and 2 also, how many times it needs to be said that the random locations are only the ones that are unimportant with trash mobs for exp ?

logical fallacy 101, you influence your character build by having different gear.

I played diablo 2 online for some 3 years and i NEVER met a 80+ high character who would NOT have a well known internet build.

So i'm an blizz apologist because i don't herp derp around saying that TF 2 has a stat build ? rofl

so edgy

rofl diablo 1 had no skills at all, what do you call diablo 1 then? dumbed dumbed down shit ?



Diablo 3 is good for what it was created to be, a gear hoarding PVP arena comptetive play (when they release it in patch). DEAL WITH IT.

and blizzard is a good company that cares for their product and people, blizz did not went popamole like bio or beth.

If d3 is dumbed down then d1 did not exist at all by your logic.

No it makes you a codex apologist r00flez.

Makes sense.

I think he's still in high school. But nevermind that.

Skyway, if you could actually think you would actually know, you motherfuckin dumbass mothafucka.

Cowboy Moment
brofist for good measure.

Syril is officially the Blizzard incarnation of Volly?

It certainly was more than D3.
So, your point it what exactly? That if D2 wasn't very complex then D3 can do away with any resemblance of complexity it had?
Hey, I know, Fallout 2 wasn't exactly serious so Fallout 3 can be a circus show.

This is why we can't have nice things. The Codex cries about dumbing down, but when there's dumbing down they just praise the developers for "streamlining" just like any other retard out there.

Actually, it's called perspective. There can be no MASSIVE decline when there wasn't actual incline to begin with. Diablo 2 is a casual popamole game. Diablo 3 appears to be a casual popamole game.

Why are your panties in a twist?

Because standards are decaying rapidly.

What standards has D2 set that D3 is decaying? I've sunk countless hours in both D1 and D2 (many more in D2 actually, and I've replayed that one recently as well), and I fail to see how what's being said about D3 (haven't played) is a HUGE MASSIVE DECLINE over the first two.

You could assign stat points yourself before? Yeah, I loved the freedom it gave me to pump STR to meet armor/weapon reqs and DEX for attack rating and dump everything else into VIT or reach Hell difficulty and be one-shotted by random mobs if I did anything else.

Hoarding skill points until you were high enough level to be able to put them in relevant skills was also great. Synergies sort of helped with that but still.

EDIT:
If there's a single most decline aspect of D3 is the always online single player bullshit, but that's the aspect least raged about. Go figure.

Sequels by definition are supposed to be better, more than their formers. It makes no sense that Diablo 3 as apposed to building on the content of Diablo 2 instead reverts to the standards of 15 years ago.

For God's sake we're getting less content than Diablo 2. And Diablo 3 is a sequel to Diablo 2. It's a regression not a progression. Diablo 2 had 5 classes and at least 2 ways to build each class. And that was 10 years ago.
