Rate the mainline diablo games and explain your logic

D4>D1>D2>D3

D1 and D2 haven't aged well, but the atmosphere was stellar. D3 was just pure shit with WoW-tier quests and graphics. D4 has the strongest story and gameplay.

    Diablo2 is still somehow the gold standard of Diablo and so good it inspired an entire generation of copycats that basically made the studio irrelevant.
    D3 felt like a namebrand spinoff but I wasted too much time in it.
    D4 is the worst of D3 extrapolated into a whole game and filtered down to be even more oversimplified, where the only redeeming feature is the aesthetics.
    D1 was made irrelevant by D2.

      Haven't played D4 full game, but based off the beta I'd put it between 2 and 3.

      I like playing through the games start to finish. Don't give a frick about endgame, if it exists, or how good or bad it is. D1 is a fun dungeon crawler with amazing atmosphere. D2 loses some of the atmosphere, but the replayability is great, experimenting with different builds and shit is fun. And the combat is better. I preferred how in D1, the monsters stayed dead when you load your game, I like that feeling of dealing with what you got, instead of refarming a boss until it drops what you want for your build.

      D3 actually was pretty good on release IMO, but I didn't give a frick about the auction house or Torment difficulty. I just liked playing through the game. D3 now is only endgame, the campaign is a fricking meme. I cannot think of a bigger waste of time than rolling up a new D3 character to play through the game. I don't think it would ever occur to a single person to ever do such a thing, you only care about grifts.

      D4 I feel like would have the D3 problem, but to a much lesser extent. There's no higher difficulties for doing the campaign. Also the pacing of the campaign sucked fricking dicks in the demo. So it would suffer the same problem of "roll up a character, play through the game start-to-finish" being a bad experience. Also I don't think the colors were what ruined D3's atmosphere, I think cheevo notifications and killstreak popups and shit like that took a much bigger troll. And D4 doesn't seem to improve on that too much.

      Just started watching this show, I like this guy. He's a c**t, but he's a cool c**t.

      by the time d2 came out everyone knows how to use bobafetts trainer and multiplayer was ruined. multiplayer was actually used for pvp in D1.

        This is the actual, non meme list. The truth is that the series has gotten progressively shittier with each entry.

        you have awoken memories I forgot I had. That said
        D2LoD > D1 > Hellfire for me. Hellfire was a terrible expansion but Lord of Destruction was actually amazing with the druid and assassin and another entire act. PvP in 2 even without hacks was still a fricking teleport fest but I actually enjoyed the different environments and having 5 and then 7 classes that each had at least two viable builds. The music is 2 was also pretty fricking great. Never played D3 or D4 and probably never will.

    Too used to modern shit to like D2 more than D3. D4 doesn't have a unique identity or do anything unique compared to D2 or D3, it takes mostly the bad elements and combines them together while also adding tedium to it. The best thing about the rework of D3+RoS is it realized pretty quickly into the season system it knew exactly the kind of game it's trying to be, it's not pretending to be something it's not which is what D4 ultimately feels like right now. I also find the gameplay of D3 just really fun and impactful feeling compared to D4, I don't mind the repetitive incremental game it is because it's just fun to play, I cannot say this about any part of D4

    Diablo 2 is boring for me, I understand you had to be there. I like Diablo 3 better than Diablo 4 but I like that they made the game harder but there’s something comfy about Diablo 3 that Diablo 4 didn’t get right.

    When I was younger I liked D2 more. Now I just play these games to have something to do with my hands while I relax after work. I don't wanna think or struggle, it's all just mindless activity for me. The easier it is to pick up and play for a few hours the better. You can call it bad taste but the truth is I'm not tasting anything, it's just going right down my throat, the smoother the better.

    who cares about story in a diablo game?
    is there bottomless dungeons to blow up monsters? is the itemizattion good? is there any map or tileset variety at all?
    a game like this should have a level editor to create your own maps and share with other players or make super demons with really hard affixes, but all blizzard cares about is bleeding you dry.

    Playing sorcerer, just went to second zone and the game is not as fun as the first open beta. Why did blizzard nerf instead of buffing the weaker builds.

    I am honestly surprised at how many people like D3 in this thread. That shit game is why I won't even try D4. I guess everyone here is just too young to have played D1 and D2 back in the day?

        My buddies and I recently all decided to get back into D2 and play together in '09 over LAN and we all had a blast. So I'd say D2 has aged pretty well.

    The gameplay of d3 is literally better than d4. If I could get d3 gameplay with d2 world and d1 atmosphere it would be the greatest game.

    I actually quit d4 at level 42 in act 4 because I got bored. I went back to d2r and I am genuinely having more fun. Even replaying d1 5.years ago was more fun than d4.

    Overall I'd rate it d2 = d1 > d3 > d4

    D2 thanks to D2R as well is head and shoulder over anything else, D4 is just some eye candy with a nice campaign , but that is it, little depth again, and its more just a better looking D3, D1 has just not aged well. I know a lot of people defend it to death as the GOAT of diablo games, but thats only till you finish catacombs. After that the game feels unfinished and unpolished and just annoying. D3 is just garbage.

      I don't agree with this at all. That's the only time that the game becomes somewhat challenging for me. I don't count nightmare and hell mode because those feel poorly implemented to me.

    I have played each game at release, going back to D1, which was the game that I got an internet connection for. I never really enjoyed D2, it had inferior atmosphere to D1, and constantly fiddling with health and mana potions wasn't fun. It still had superior atmosphere and story to 3, however 3 (by the time of RoS) had stellar gameplay that was fast and fun. I played the latest season leading up to D4, and I had an extremely good time with the Altar of Rites system that they put into place. I wish that the QoL features introduced by that system were baseline in both D3 and D4. I enjoyed D4 very much for about a week, it has great atmosphere and the story was passable (though not as good as D2's), but it needs work. The balancing is fricked, and post-50 is a slog. They also need to make it so that Renown and uncovering the map are account wide, redoing that shit is actually horrible, and if they make people do that shit with seasons then the game is dead in the water. I'm tentatively giving it the highest marks because the problems it has are fixable without major reworks, and they don't seem so brainless that they won't fix them. We will see though. Even in its current state I would rate it well above D1 and D2.
