now apply this to video games as a whole
Non-turn-based videogames in general are just glorified QTEs
Turn based games are just QTEs without any of the reflexes required
May as well have a spreadsheet open in excel and use your imagination
I must have seen this exact same post a hundred times by now every time the 'gameplay' of Diablo 2 is criticized
and?
It's not accurate at all, the gameplay of Diablo 2 is about as deep as a puddle, it's cookie clicker before cookie clicker was a game.
Yes.
What the frick did they do to D2? Holy shit that looks horrid
Anon, Ganker loves D2R. Being contrarian won't make you fit in this time.
What is there to gain from gaslighting?
We don't love your troony looking game, the /vg/ general was the saddest shit ever...someone kept bumping and begging to get bumped, i laughed and bumped their threads just to see them suffer
Funny and pitiful
when was the last time you played the original?
Last night
Who gives a shit what Ganker thinks, that UI and Font looks like dog shit
it's the same you Black person
I don't remember comic sans being used for the enemy affixes
>comic sans
Get your eyes checked.
I refuse
not every san serif is comic sans jimmy
The UI is a straight improvement. The font is the same.
>UI and Font
That's what you chose to complain about? Holy shit you are moronic
>last night
fake and gay
It's true, I just finished playing a bit too.
More proofs
2/3
this dood using grief and posting in nightmare to have full resists
3/3
Okay goodnight!
They updated graphics while still capturing the aesthetic, atmosphere, and 1:1 gameplay of the original.
Literally no one can reasonably hate D2R.
Is summoner druid decent now?
Yes.
I understand what you're trying here, but zoomers don't have the mental capacity to play ARPGs.
yes
>pressing buttons
WOW VIDEO GAMES
Diablo 2 is a nearly perfect masterpiece and one of my favorite games of all time
Black person
Diablo 2 is just a gambling simulator. People keep playing it long after their character trivialized whatever difficulty the game ever had for the exact same reason people keep pulling levers of slot machines.
There are worse vices
No because back in the day I picked Feral Druid and I never managed to beat Baal at level 42 while my friend beat him at level 34 with a paladin.
you went bear? wolf is pretty easy since feral rage has so much lifesteal
Both bear and wolf are very viable, at least for normal and NM with trash gear, would need a whole lot more for feral in hell.
Shit, Fire Claw will melt the frick out of things till hell difficulty with zero weapon requirements, and being a bear would give you moronic huge HP. Just be slow due to it's single target nature.
Anon's problem is a skill one
Yes I went bear, this was in 2001. I think the damage was too low to beat Baal if I remember.
>playing meta because its optimal
>not playing whatever the frick you want despite how viable or optimal they
frick you
what a great thread
totally not a shitpost that should be deleted

HOW DID THEY MAKE THIS NOISE PLEASE RESPOND
it sounds like you blow air through a straw on a glass bottle and then clipped a sound you like
I never understood the people who do hundreds of hundreds of runs of the same bosses just hoping some insanely rare rune would drop.
PvP in Diablo was unironically a mistake
I wish someone would revive the ARPG genre
Just installed PoE since I can't get widescreen to work on my 1.14 LoD install (I'm not buying D2R) and no reason to play Last Epoch until March 9th since they're wiping my characters.
Where are my ARPG brothers on Ganker?
>Where are my ARPG brothers on Ganker?
Playing D2R
I'm speedrunning LE until I can get confident and comfortable with leveling druid because once the 0.9 patch hits I'm going to play druid online.
I bought Grim Dawn during the sell, didn't care for it.
Reinstalled Diablo 3, and lost interest almost immediately into New Tristram
I tried PoE for a while, I kinda like it but a lot of people are scaring me away from continuing since people say that the drop rates in end game are abysmal to forcefully inflate the trade economy.
I'm currently playing Last Epoch, it's alright.
>Last Epoch
does it have multiplayer yet
Streamers get access to the MP beta this month
Players get access to the MP beta next month
MP launches March 9
Of course any zoomer would be impressed. They are used to playing Call of Duty.

play my new ARPG demo please, i need more feedback. WASD combat and tank controls with a lot of build options. it's free on itch.
https://vita-brevis.itch.io/samsara-wheel-of-extinction
looks like shit
SOVL, migh try it. Thanks anon.
it's super rough but i hope you at least have some fun anons. thanks for playing if you do.
i played thousands of hours of diablo 2 as a kid and this is just trying to recapture some of that magic albeit with hopefully more dynamic combat.
i think you're thinking of my buddy's game, Tower of Kalemonvo. he posts in the dev threads often
>WASD combat and tank controls
Ew.
You have my attention.
I remember seeing some anon posting his Diablo ARPG game in one of these threads, it was a webm on top of a castle with no roof, and the sky was purple.
Anybody knows what I'm talking about? It wasn't
>ARPG game
ATM machine
stfu zoomer moron its literally kino
20 years and the same game is still played the same way, teleport and AOE. I guess now it has wide screen support natively and is aesthetically worse
w/e
144fps is worth any "downgrade" that you think youre perceiving
>20 years and the same game is still played the same way
I'm not sure why you make this statement like it means anything?
Its the same game, of course its going to play the same way you moron
>20 years and the same game is still played the same way,
it has actually been dumbed down quite a bit and its all about maxing out one tree and using charms to negate immunities now. Players are unfathomably moronic and didnt know that immunities existed to increase build variety and now that they are gone you just pick one tree to go ham on and for sorc thats cold. cold sorc is so OP its insane now, all you need is starter runewords from nightmare and 1 charm from hell mode and its gg.
I mean sorc and hammerdin were already OP and blizzard decided to simply buff everyone else instead of being them more in line with other classes, which had the added affect of making cold sorc more op than any starter class has ever been in D2, provided you get the charm.

need me one of these chink hostesses on my dick in my lifetime
>oh boy I love playing a game about item progression
>99.9% of item progression is completely useless
>oh boy I love a game about combat
>you need to complete the game twice with 99.9% of encounters being practically impossible to die in before you get to the "real mode" (because frick you for wanting to start on hard difficulty)
Who enjoys this?
Me
me
me and about 20 million others
try making it through just nightmare on hardcore mode doing solo self found items only.
I dare you
just play paladin or sorc?
Ladder looks to be ending, will they bring the new runewords and sundered charms to non-ladder?
Diablo was the precursor to gacha games.
>full enchant sorc
>act 1 merc
>teleport around while she shoots stuff with super fire arrows and buff everybody in multiplayer
yep, it's gaymin time
Just saw this thread and feel obliged to respond/bump because if I don't i will feel personally responsible for the death of ARPGs
what can they even do with diablo 4 to make it interesting?
forced multiplayer is always interesting
remove classes remove items add jumping dashing bullet hell bosses music with high tempo there you now have a genuine fun video game instead of a goyslop hamster wheel
you just described spiral knights.
>playing a 20 year old completed game
why?
its ___fun
why are there no arpgs set in space or future?
why does it have to be medieval/gothic/lovecraftian?

ARPG should be used as a label for full RPGs that play like action games or action games where your numbers go up as you play. Diablo is neither of those. It just has numbers going up.
what can change the nature of a man?
I don't care about meta, but is an Assassin bow build viable solo to simply get through the whole game? I don't want to min-max, just want to do what I think is cool. I like bows and traps.
/v/ros, whats the best arpg to date?
Whichever one puts out after the 1st date. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
