It's okay to not like something.
I think it would be a better use of your time to find something that you do like instead of bringing people down because of your own opinions.
Have a great day.
have a nice day.
Indeed, have a nice day.
Kill myself
I really like Diablo 1 because it is slower and nails the spooky horror tone. Sure, you could play as a teleporting Black person if you want but most people played warrior and chopped their way down.
Same here bro. I wish they'd add a diablo mode to exanima. An option to do away with the die by the sword combat.
ARPGs are gacha games for people who think they're above gacha games.

Funny, I just started playing D2 myself and feel the same way. I have to assume it'll get more interesting once I have more skills. I just wish it was less A and more RPG. I love the atmosphere though.
MASSIVELY MULTIPLAYER ARG

How are there people who dislike genres? It's insane, some games are good, some are bad, it has nothing to do with genre.
I think by and large the problem is companies copying Diablo ad infinitum for nearly 30 years.
What I really want is an ARPG that has a deep story and meaningful choices like a CRPG. Like a hybrid of Diablo and Planescape: Torment. Throw in some updated combat that adds some kind of mechanical complexity beyond "click to kill monster" and you're golden.
It's called grim dawn and it's shit
There is exactly 1 story choice in Grim Dawn and you can just pick the other one for the next difficulty.
Played that. It is shit. Not only is there zero narrative complexity, the repetitive combat bored me to tears.
Yeah, studios shit out Diablo clones because they know that it's less financially risky to provide consoomer cattle with their familiar serving of slop than it is to try something a little more daring and innovative. This is why gaming in general and definitely the ARPG genre have been in decline for years. It's also why 1997-2005 was such a golden age of gaming, because genre boundaries weren't as solidified, the market wasn't as bloated, and studios had more creative freedom to work on innovative products like Planescape, Morrowind, Legacy of Kain, etc. I'm old enough to have played and loved D2 on its original release, but as far as I can tell the genre never went beyond that formula and has been in a state of moribund stagnation for the last 23 years.
They don’t even need to be “click to kill a thousand mobs” you could have strategic elements like pausing the game to give commands to your party, or making a more souls like experience when it comes to combat, but selling Diablo clones is the quicker and easier thing for studios to do.
Sounds like RTwP with extra steps
Pay me a salary to come up with ideas that aren’t “clone of a game from 1997 and I can do better.
so why not look for that in other genres instead of diablo clones where people who like loot and builds go for their fix. Jesus you people really are baffling sometimes. It's like here you have a genre that is exactly as advertised and you come in and what a completely different genre. Do you fricks also go listen to black metal bands and rant about how this would be so much better if it was country too? moronic c**ts

i really hate this shit
Hell defensive mercs should have Salvation aura.
God forbid you have to itemize in any way other than maximizing your DPS. I literally puked after switching out my items every 10 seconds to get 1 extra DPS in the D4 beta.
>*mash buttons*
>literally wins
I think fighting games are just stupid games for buck broken nigs.
>..........hunt monsters.................
>get loot to hunt monsters betterer...............
monster hunter if you duck broken
>The loot lottery is kind of a system by which randomizers are generated. The best analogy is it's a slot machine. Every time you kill a monster you put a quarter into the slot machine and pull the lever and out could come nothing, you could get your quarter back, or you could hit a jackpot.
>So if you could think of pulling the levers every time you kill a monster it's got kind of this addictive quality--just like slot machines are addictive, so is the 'I am going to maybe win something big here.

I dont know why they cant make a good ARPG with actual action that you control. Something with a tight moveset and combos relating to various weapons so you actually have to time and dodge and parry... Everything else exactly the same just some actual engaging gameplay. But then I guess the allure of these games is being able to basically just mong out and grind mobs for thousands of hours without having to actively pay much attention or try.
>I dont know why they cant make a good ARPG with actual action that you control. Something with a tight moveset and combos relating to various weapons
You don't want an ARPG, you want a 3D beat em up. Just play those instead.
It seems like people want a combination of a musou 3d beat em up with arpg elements, which doesn't seem that bad really.
There's already the Souls series but coming from Diablo-likes, those sort of games have low amount of build variety and loots.
Nah I want an isometric ARPG like diablo but with compelling combat and controls that are reflected heavily by your build choices and gear types. I'm sure that exists but that diablo setting and aesthetic with some tight, easy to pick up, hard to master gameplay would be sick.
It's an old game but you might be interested with Revenant. Combo-based ARPG with dodge rolls and it has a pretty good combat too imo.
So you want demons souls?
you mean like Nioh?
arpgs are the single worst genre. Screen cap this you'll be making threads about how much you hate in a few years. Also total vatBlack person death now. blast from the past for future generations
No.Eat shit.
I will slay gorillion monsters
I will gather all the loot
I will make 100 character of different builds
I will level up my character
I will replay it all over again but with higher difficulties
I will have fun
...Und I vill be Unironically Happy
you are just as mentally ill as wowtrannies but you'll grow up eventually and realize how fricking shit this genre is
No. Eat shit
Your favorite genre is still shittier than my favorite genre.
Objective facts
whatever troony. Just screencap this and see for yourself in the future
Nah before your pic related it was better. Was story focused and balanced. But diablo 2 was a loot treadmill appealing to addicts, which became the norm for the genre.
They need to be more creative with this genre. The formula of maxing on hp/mp regenerating gear and spamming AoE attacks against mobs is very stale.
>DEY SO EZ U JUST CLICK LOOL
Show me your HCSSF Uber Sirus kill pussy
Getting loot and building your character is the entire enjoyment. The gameplay itself doesn't matter.
Nah frick you, I enjoy blowing up shit load of demons with my Tsunami-infused frag grenades thank you.
Act V merc now BRUTALLY mogs ACT II merc, it's not even funny. This guy is a BEAST on crack cocaine.
In English?
Yes sorry man but it's just that there's no where to talk about this great game. Season 4 has started and I have no one to speak to.
You can use /d4g/ to talk about D2R season. After 10th will mostly be about D4 again tough.
The only good arpg was diablo and only because it had phenomenal voice acting.
hold up this is a thing? i always wanted to play an older diablo game. path of exile just didnt draw me in at all for some reason. should i get this? this is the best diablo game to play at this point in time right? is there something similar i might prefer?
d2 is an amazing game but there's no way to know if you have the gene that allows you to put thousands of hours of grinding into it. you have to play it to find out.
the good news is that even if you don't have it, the game is still enjoyable until you get to hell.
>the good news is that even if you don't have it, the game is still enjoyable until you get to hell.
wait what did you mean by this
also how does it work with regards to it being multiplayer?
hell is the highest difficulty level. it is legitimately unfun.
mp in d2 is a very strange creature. you will quickly find out that you are playing a very different game than the others playing this same game.
Hey sorry right back at ya, I'll talk with ya. I simply don't understand what you mean about the Barbarians in act v. What did they do to them? Whats making them so good?
I haven't been keeping up with all the changes but I've generally been in favor of them.
They buffed him up and now have the choice to hire a dual wielder so imagine the great combinations you can make. That is all, thanks for replying to my post.
Okay that's pretty cool but the act 2s are just so easy. I feel like I'll fall right back into using them.
But hey, because of you, next time I play, I'll give one a shot.
thats not an ARPG, thats a asiaticclicker with a skinnerbox attached to it
Every action game ever, moron.
That's what Diablo has now become beyond the second game. But what it used to be was so much better
At it's heart, it was a true dungeon crawler experience
