Those are the two extremes, and not only are they both true, but they can both be true at the same time. This is the problem that arises when talking about Diablo 3: It's impossibly hard to do without sounding either like you have a serious problem or have taken up the most boring habit in the world. And now that Diablo 3 is out on Nintendo Switch, there is nothing to stop me from doing it all the time. What am I even doing? The answer was: nothing. This is dumb, I thought, when I first played Diablo 3-it first came out in 2012.

Diablo 3 is so free of bullshit that you might bounce right off of it, accustomed to the theatrics of modern video games as you are. Its story campaign, in which you embark on a journey to seal away the lords of hell, is merely an introduction to a list of things that the game expects you to repeat, with even less context, essentially forever: killing hordes of monsters, picking up loot, and figuring out which of set of pants will help you blow up corpses faster.
It doesn't posture about how meaningful your actions are, how epic its story is, or how rich its many worlds are. And I know people will say that is good that the game is punishing you for making a wrong decision, and I agree, I love games that have a great difficulty and are challenging but it has to be well designed, having to star from the beginning because you put a few points in the incorrect order or ability I think is too much, I felt I couldn't experiment or try things by myself because I was worried to start all over again from the beginning just to reach the level I was before for that character.Diablo 3 might be the least pretentious video game ever made. So in my 4 attempt I looked a guide and started again, I reached hell and It was really fun, finding rare items, making runewords, it was fun but I really would have liked having the freedom to discover thing by myself at first. And oh boy that didn't went well hahaha I had to restart 3 times because I couldn't advance the game because I didn't put my points in the correct skills or I didn't find the correct gear and I didn't have my one respec in that difficulty. A friend told me before playing D2 I should look first what build I wanted and look at a guide, but I didn't wanted to do that, I like to experiment and discover things by myself in these types of games. In D2 I never felt that, on contrary, I felt that I was being punished in the game if I tried to experiment or tried different things by my self without looking at a guide. I felt D3 was telling me I was able to experiment, see what it works and what doesn't, to find what I like and to try different combinations when finding a new item that changed my abilities. In diablo 3 it was so fun when I unlocked a new ability leveling up and trying different playstyles or how my abilities worked together and also when I discovered that legendaries items had unique abilities that had synergy with other abilities changing the way I play the game, also I really liked the mechanic where I can extract an ability from a legendary item with the cube allowing to make so many different combinations and experiment. But this is how this type of game works right? There is always going to be the most optimized builds, the meta builds that are better.īut something important to me is how is the experience making that journey to the perfect build.
In D3 I know that sets are the most important thing in endgame and people say Is bad itemization because every one is aiming for the same sets with no difference but I also see and hear people say that also happens in D2 in a different way with runewords and specific builds with the same items for example the hammerdin and classes that are much better than others. The main thing I'm confused is why people say that d3 is so bad compared to D2. Then I played diablo 3 and I'm still playing, it has flaws but is also a really great game and incredibly fun, being honest im having much more fun and liking d3 more tha d2. Hello, I'm a new player, I few months back I saw a trailer for diablo 4 and decided to play diablo 2 resurrected and diablo 3 before diablo 4 release and see which game I would focus until diablo 4 release.įirst I played D2R for almost 200 hrs, I reached hell difficulty, Is a great game, there were things I liked and there were things I didn't liked at all, but it is a great game.
