...have you tried Path of Exile yet? The very core of the game is much closer to D2 than D3.

it's a good game. I played softcore first, this got boring pretty quickly. hardcore is pretty fun though, especially if you try to avoid the AH. (I only sell stuff there and buy gems, but I don't buy any gear.)
first we make expand, then we defense it.

Just remember that while you played D2 a lot, and liked it, it was looong time ago. You have changed during that time, and with that what you enjoy may have changed. You may just not like arpg's at all anymore. But the only way to really know is to try it. Just don't expect it to be D2 remake.

What? I've heard this argument for SC2 but to use it for the difference between D2 and D3 is just stupid. D2 was a better game by miles than D3 and that's undeniable, everything from the story to the skilltree was better.

Also this, PoE recreates the feel that D2 had much better than D3.

Like, the main problem dia 3 has in my opinion is the endgame. I think it can be quite fun to play through if you ignore the auction house, but once you beat the game on the highest difficulty, there is only act3 to farm. And that act is quite boring and ugly.

Path of Exile, very interresting. The problem is that lots of builds are not viable in hc, due to lag/desync. It probably is totally amazing if you focus on singleplayer SC. It actually has an endgame.

Skillsystem in D2 was awfulbad. Your first char was piece of shit and had to be rerolled because you spend points in skills you used while leveling instead of trying to get to lvl30 without spending any. And hope you did not accidently spend 2 points into prerequisite skill by accident. People claiming that skilltree design, where you had to read forums for 10h before even starting a character to end up to be any good, just shows how stupid they are and how superior skillsystem in D3 is.

I think D3 is a great game. If you expect a revolution to your D2 series, then it won't happen but if you look at D3 itself, it's a great game and a lot of fun. I think people just had some crazy expectations towards what the game would be, and to be frank, how much can you really change from D2...

To me, it's just a new, better and upgraded D2

Better I mean: Better graphics, better controls and such. Gameplay you'll have to decide yourself

I think the point with people not liking the skillsystem in D3 is that there's no uniqueness. Everybody has the same which I also find quite sad. I love the uniqueness and that you can shape your character in the way that you want, even though it might not be the "best" version of an Ice Sorc or whatever.

I played Diablo 3 as a true single player game, as in I did not expect to get more hours out of it compared to a normal Single player game, and from that perspective I got what I wanted from Diablo 3.

So for me it was worth the money and I'm going to get the expansion as well, however I do not expect it to be a multiplayer game like Diablo 2 since Blizzard, so far at least, has done very little to improve that particular aspect of the game.

I do feel Diablo 3 along with its expansion is worth picking up, if only for the single game content, and once you finished it just put it on the shelf since there is no point continue playing it after that.

Don't waste your money. My copy was free because I made $70 off the RMAH and even still if I could go back and un-buy it I would.

If you enjoyed D2 like most of us... don't ruin your memories by playing D3.

Do yourself a favor and play Path of Exile instead. It's a much, much better game in every way.

I hear that a lot but it doesn't seem that way when I check out the random bnet profiles in my chat channel. It's true that the high-end-theory-crafting-to-the-maximum people all have about the same skills but people who don't do that don't have. It's also that more offensive skillsets require better gear so (as a selffound player) he could see himself changing some skills just because he got better gear.

It may be matter of opinion, but I have never seen anyone who's claiming D2 system was better to actually tell WHY it is better. That' s why I believe its just the human nature to be against change that makes people claim D2 had better system.

If you're looking for something with god of war feelings of power and ownage with a fun control system and a cool looking game to rock to go for it. You might also find value due to your Bw experiences. The attacks are 1-5 keys which is just really cool if you were one of the people who always wanted to be good with hotkeys in starcraft, because it can definitely help with that.

Nowhere close to diablo 2 lord of destruction. Someone earlier said "levels are too linear." I agree with this, though i couldn't put my finger on it before. Characters aren't quite as distinctive/good. I mean Amazon with javelins or bows, druid with wind, summons, and transformations.. Runewords..I don't know. It's just not as good for a lot of small subtle reasons. similar to bw vs sc2.

hold on! i'm callin' you back to the pool, and we'll dazzle them all!

This. D2's story was respectable and interesting, even if it wasn't great. D3's is a fucking piece of trash.

That said, D3 can be fun. It just simply isn't as good as D2, in any way. It's not worth $60, but it might be worth the reduced price.
