Was it the best one?

for it's time? maybe
it aged like milk compared to d2 gameplay-wise though

>>716205753 (OP)
no, but it's better than 3, 4, or immortal.

They're probably cooking up a remaster because they sure as fuck aren't going to add an act 6 in d2 and tank their shitty mtx 4 and immortal.

>>716205753 (OP)
Yes, it's the only one you can beat in a day with a fun gradual progression scheme and tactical combat. Diablo 2 is a slot machine simulator and the later ones are total slop.

>>716206171
does diablo 2 have any redeeming quality?

>>716206301
The soundtrack in the first two acts is amazing and it does have better variety of enemies and enemy AI, even though the gameplay usually fails to utilize it

>>716206171
the great thing about D2 is that it's only a slot machine simulator if you want it to be, you can just clear hell once and uninstall

>>716205753 (OP)
It's the only one nobody ever fucking played and it SHOWS

>>716206301
The Druid is pretty neat.

>get to the archer demonesses as a warrior
Nah, fuck that.

Who says you can’t play 2 the way you play 1? No need for endless autism spirals if you just boot it up for a playthrough

>>716206171
????
this nigga never played d2 in his life. you can beat it in like 5 hours with any character.

It's a really cool roguelike

>>716207554
This nigga never played barb

Excessively tanky enemies say. Also, you have to use a guide or waste tons of hours figuring out the meta in Diablo 2 for most classes (except like sorc). Diablo 1 is just a matter of forging ahead; worst case scenario you get soft-locked by a random too-strong miniboss or level with too many projectile enemies and reset the world once to boost your xp and make the dungeon easier.

just play the first difficulty for a casual playthrough.
>muh hell difficulty cant be beaten without tormenting myself grinding for 40 hours
its called hell difficulty not fun difficulty

>>716209935
Even on normal, the minions of destruction take like 30 minutes to kill as a barb unless you grind for 50 hours to get top tier weapons

>>716210007
U are shit

>>716210007
if you level right and not even autistically just logically, you can chain enough damage modifiers together to go through them.
when I play diablo, I never loot or go to shops, I just pick what I want from the ground and leave what I dont want to use. no grinding necessary. dont even do side content when the story is hype.

>>716209935
But why making it hard by grind, i hate this shit. Why just dont make fights harder but in skillfull way

>>716210007
>find amn-tir
wow so fucking hard, retard.

>>716205753 (OP)
It's the best if you like BOREDOM

>>716210169
play hardcore if you want to use actual skill.

>>716205753 (OP)
Of course not, you silly contrarian.

>>716210169
>harder but in a skillful way
that's how you end up with poe bosses that have 10 mandatory immunity phases

>>716205753 (OP)
I'd say it's the same thing with fallout 1 and 2, 1 is a more solid overall experience while 2 is still good and longer but isn't as consistently good as 1.

>>716210139
>Normal

>>716210176
Finding amn on normal is a feat. Not so much on nightmare.

>>716205753 (OP)
Diablo 2 is so radically different and had so much influence over the future of the genre that you can't really compare the original Diablo to any that came after. It's its own unique experience. Enemies don't respawn so you can't repeatedly farm for dopamine hits. Your character is relatively weak(outside of a few busted spells) and you aren't meant to feel like a one man army; you play the game slow and methodical and try to lure small groups of enemies away from large packs. Aside from exploiting glitches you technically have a limited amount of resources through the whole game which makes the overall experience feel more like you're just trying to survive. The game is very simple and the combat is arguably the "worst" of the series but it's still worth experiencing because of how different it is compared to everything that came after which are just iterations of D2.

>>716205753 (OP)
Why do you make this thread every single day? All the diablo games are terrible. Move on.

>>716205753 (OP)
>>716210275
yes it is, specially if you have hellfire for the extended classes
barb is what warrior should've been and bard can pull some stupid builds like no light assassin

>>716206301
better gameplay classes and level variety, but goes to shit by act 3

>>716210509
say that to the nigger making 50 or so threads for his shitty AI prompt

>>716210176
>rune words
You didn't beat the game

>>716205753 (OP)
The best one? No. That goes to D2 post synergies patch.
D2 w/synergies > D1 > D2 wo/synergies > the entire measurable length of the universe > D3/4/Immortal
