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.
