Diablo II is the Perfect Dungeon Crawler

Jacob St-Amour from Link-Cable Writes: "With BlizzCon 2019 all wrapped up, fans have been giving many things to be excited for, especially when it comes from Diablo new. With the lengthy in-depth gameplay and amazing trailers for Diablo IV as well as some featured news on Diablo: Immortal, fans of the Gothic and dark dungeon crawler have quite a lot to cheer for. While we eagerly await these new releases, it is a great time to go back and experience the title that brought the franchise to what it is today by revisiting Diablo II and seeing as to why it is praised as being the best and perfect dungeon crawler title to have ever been created."

I loved Diablo II but I love Diablo 3 more. That said, I haven't played D3 nearly half as much as I played D2. Just different times. I played D2 for 5 1/2 years. Diablo 3 I've played much more casually but overall I think it's a better game and I can't wait for 4.

I myself find diablo 3 boring as sin.
picked it up again with friends and let me tell ya... this game was putting me to sleep, however I went back to D2 two weeks ago and have been enjoying myself immensely.

D2 is just superior in challenge.
Act 3 bone Fetish (IN NORMAL NO LESS) mobs drop my hp from 100% to 10% in an instant, meanwhile in d3 NOTHING CAN TOUCH ME...I nuke mobs and bosses effortlessly.
I wont even go into the dumpster fire that is the writing and plot of D3

Diablo 3 was super playable with friends as couch coop. But I like Diablo II more for story and atmosphere as a single player.

What Can Diablo IV Learn From Diablo II

Diablo IV may be the latest entry from the Diablo series, but it can sure learn a thing or two from the iconic Diablo II. Both of these games are different and similar to each other, but Diablo II's phenomenal presence should still be more appearing in Diablo IV to make the game even better in its current state.

Diablo 2 Receives 60 FPS Update Thanks To A New Mod

A fan-run initiative called Project Diablo 2 has brought a 60 FPS update for the classic Diablo title, among other changes.

Boo! Thought this was eventually a patch for diablo2 on PS5. The fact that they can’t get that game to run in quality mode at 60fps is an absolute joke!

The game is still $25 +. I'm waiting for it to drop to the actual value of the product.

Quickstrike1060d ago

I would still feel ripped off getting it for free.

MadLad1060d ago

It's an awesome RPG they did a good job to modernize.
You may not want to play it, but it doesn't mean you need to act all edgy and crap on it.

anast1059d ago

D2 is a masterpiece. I want to play it but it is still too much of an ask right now.

sourOG1060d ago

I can’t fault activision on this one. “Hostile” for the delay in recognizing their power lmao. Yikes. Good luck with that MS.

coolbeans1060d ago

This attitude is why I'm not a big fan of the MS/Acti deal: you're essentially rewarding repulsive higher-ups with golden parachutes versus absorbing talent like the inXile/Obsidian deals.

MadLad1060d ago

But the Acquisition is actually ousting these people; allowing the company to move forward.

The current shareholders, despite all the toxicity and both public and internal outcry, just voted in Kotick yet again.

coolbeans1059d ago

That's a fair positive, but part of me still hoped their misdeeds would've bit them on the ass in a more damaging way.

MadLad1059d ago

Oh, I agree.
I would love nothing more to see someone like Kotick fired on the spot with every employee giving him a kick in the balls on the way out the door.

Unfortunately the world revolves around money, and he made the company a lot of it. Thus the jackass is still around.
