Sure their combat is both slightly better than d2s, but still significantly worse than actual FPS or MOBA titles. like I said I don't play diablo games for the action combat, if I want to play a game like that I will fire up apex legends, mortal Kombat or if I want a more combat focused RPG, elden ring.ĭ3 and D4 being slightly better than D2 in a segment of the game D2 never even tried being amazing at is a really weak argument about their merits. All of those little bits of theory crafting are fun and have been completely removed from the series.ĭ3 and D4 are so far much worse in that regard of the game. For instance you know you need X str and X Dex for an exceptional polearm you can make insight with, but you know you can't find the runes until around lvl 40 from nightmare countess, so you build and plan accordingly maximising your effectiveness up to that point. Do I want to max strength or vitality? Do I want to level Dex and str early to equip better gear and have a high block chance, or do I want to go minimum str and vita for higher hp.Īnd then as you gain knowledge, your next playthrough is different because you have an idea of what you are going for. Where D2 wins out is it actually has thought behind those boring parts. If you want edge of your seat gameplay don't play isometric RPGs. I mean d3 and D4 also are similar in that regard. Just go ahead and try kill Echo of Lilith and then compare it to Uber Diablo on a smiter, or a very high greater rift key in D3. I'll give you the answer too, the bosses that took weeks or months to kill in the past died within in hours.Īnyone that says D2 is good because it's so hard compared to games today, or other Diablo games is a lost soul which has picked their opinion ages ago and won't be moved on this but there it is. Older games were more simple than todays games for the most part, be it due to technical limitations or design choices.ĭo yourself a favor and check how long it took for players to clear the "hardest expansion" in World of Warcraft when they were relaunched ( WoW Classic plus TBC and WOTLK ). It´s easy to put on blinders and act like this hasn't happened if you played only one game over the last 20 years but it is what it is. games and developers learned and improved over the years. This list has been updated with information about how each character shines, even if it ranks low down on the list so gamers can know how to make the class shine regardless of its ranking.Last updated at 14:00:17 UTC Weekly Help Desk RAGE Loot Thread Trade ThreadĮh, I just replied with a general insult since there wasn't much else to address.ĭiablo 2 is not a complex game in any way, the builds are cookie cutter ( you pick a skill and all the skills that buff it, wow so complex ), most top builds use the same items ( enigma so on ), the endgame content is very, very limited and consists mainly of killing the same bosses over and over and over or doing xp runs in the same areas.ĭiablo 2 was a good game at one point but by todays standards it is obsolete as hell, because guess what. Diablo 2: Resurrected is the poster child for such a discussion. Indeed, one of the beautiful things about a well-balanced game is that even if the community has a preference or a tier list, the game is possible to beat with any class. Players will often feel disrespected when a class or build that they love is placed underneath another. Updated on February 5th, 2023 by Hodey Johns: The "best" of anything will always be a contentious subject in the gaming community. Here's how things generally shake out in Diablo 2: Resurrected. It should come as no surprise since each character has its unique strengths and weaknesses. Disagreements regarding which class is the best rage on within the community to this day. One of the factors that continues to drive the game's popularity is the high replay value, with seven character classes, each one with a unique skillset and multiple builds players can choose to pursue. RELATED: How Diablo 4 Hopefully Melds the Diablo 2 and Diablo 3 Combat Systems Out of all the Diablo games, it is the second entry that has brought the series into the limelight and amassed a cult following all over the world. Now is the perfect time to dive back into the franchise and get ready for the upcoming titles. Diablo 2: Resurrected still gains traction despite multiple games in the franchise being released afterward and others on the horizon. Very few games have managed to achieve the iconic status of Diablo.
