I have played Diablo since the day Diablo 1 came out, I absolutely fell in love with that game the atmosphere is unequalled in gaming and Diablo basically made all the coined and stapled themes of the genre,
Diablo 2 comes in and there is an improvement of the STAPLE formula
With leveling up and putting stats in those big red buttons and skills coming at a singular pace even though skills went from being obtainable to class specific but erm.
My point is in Diablo 3 this WHOLE formula is lost
There is mathematically, and Objective reason 1 and 2 are better
It's because the first 2 games used additional math as opposed to 3 using multiplicative. The stat points are gone and the entirety of the game is reduced to re upping on more primary stats
( But it's off the wall though ) this new armor piece gives me 800 more intelligence (it's energy motherfucker) and suddenly I do 200 million mm ore damage these numbers are literally incalculable.
The SHEER FACT, that they are a lil ashamed of Diablo immortal and that she fiasco but they've never came out and said "hey we're sorry we insulted your intelligence as well as copied another gea artstyle while on a masterbatory level just looked up stuff about Diablo 1 and nostalgia pandered like they'll like this and we're sorry"
It doesn't have to be like that, but there has never been any real cracking of the whip and I'ma be real I'm just going to say if you don't agree you don't honestly love this game and you should just get back to the trade forums before we have a trivia quiz and see who's clearly using Google to reply faster Holmes.
I love Diablo, but it's an understatement to say "it should be like 2" it should be it's own game but I need to know that they know they done goofed or I won't just not waste my money I'll hate y'all for it.
That's what's expected when you bastardize something please don't do this again like in Diablo 3.
