If you play sc2 with someone you know it's going to be boring build orders that they've read on a website or copied from some pro player...not to mention lost of clicking and tapping on the keyboard. d2 had waaay more atmosphere than d3. a lot of it in part due to the music and the darker,gothic graphic style. | ||

Yeah, i played d2 first with a guy who played it to death when it was released. We were hyping up to D3 release. So he kind of rushes through all the boring starting-stuff, and you dont get to read quests, or listen to anything.. all you do is running with map overlay trying not to get behind. Afterwards I played some time with another friend new to D2 (in 2012 :D ) was way more fun, because i finally cought some of the atmosphere and story and names of NPCs. But if you got used to it, it often repeats itself, (I agree D2 LoD - Acts feeel very difffrent form one another !). Boss fights are okay, but running over a plain 100000 times is just boring. The concepts of WC,WoW, D and SC are repeated. They are iconic games in their genre. They are not perfect, but hyped, never touched, never questioned. They are raised on a godly level by every one who played them when they were entirely new. These games also had flaws, but they did not matter becaue the game itself was genre-defining. So the flaws were accepted easily. Most people look back, to find everything in the past was better and judge the current Games/Movies etc. on that base. It´s sad that time sometimes takes away the "magic" of things. If there is no change they complain "rip off" and minor changes are "Killing the game". Big changes....not to speak of them.. | ||

And remember, only a small minority of the 12 million pc sales complained. It's telling that still over a million people play this game every month. that's a pretty big number. Also, Loot 2.0 is coming a bit after Blizzcon (patch 1.09) Or before that which should make it a lot more interesting. Also, if the expansion fixes a lot of the more harder to repair stuff (the story in the expansion being decent) etc sure. They can bring a lot of consumers back. I don't know, the story got pretty fucked pretty fast in D3. Sure you can salvage it but that's like writing some bullshit to cover some bullshit, it takes more than a single expansion to fix the plot holes. I think most people who've stopped are either done with D3 or waiting for some sort of magical patch that fixes everything and gives them a reason to start over once again. Just look how dead this forum has become. | ||

Just look how dead this forum has become. Hmmmm... With Mortal Kombat story it WAS bullshit covering all the bullshit that happen after Mortal kombat trilogy and it worked out pretty awesome. But that was because the MK9 alone was actually a pretty nice, fun game. They got it right for once. I think that salvaging Diablo 3 is doable at least, IF they put their shit together and come up with something ground breaking. I think that - when it comes to the story arc - when you'll make a game that is just plain fun and enjoyable, the story kinda goes with it, even if it's bullshit covering some more bullshit. | ||

I think that - when it comes to the story arc - when you'll make a game that is just plain fun and enjoyable, the story kinda goes with it, even if it's bullshit covering some more bullshit. I've been thinking... The story may be average at best, but we shouldnt expect a lot from a diablo franchise in that aspect anyway. However, what we can all agree on is that the way the story was told was utter crap. The dialog, the interaction with the bosses etc it was all terrible. But the plot itself isnt that crappy perhaps. When diablo 3 came out I was really dissapointed that they wasted a lot of opportunities, and used many which sounded cool but werent that amazing. A good example of this was the final boss fight, diablo. With all evils stored in the black soulstone, we could have seen the Prime Evil, seven headed devil or something that is in the diablo 3 lore. We didn't. Maybe they want to save these things for later expansions. Another example is Brood war's storyline. SC1 story was good, BW was pretty awesome. We can hope that they have listened to the fan feedback regarding the storytelling, gotten it up a notch, and then have a lot of things in store yet. They CAN fix some of the linear gameplay that was with D3. If they do a big overhaul with the acts to make levels less linear and expectable, it could fix many many problems that made the game boring quick. Personally I would have always preferred a challenging gameplay from inferno difficulty rather than getting 1 shot by firelinked vortex dogs over and over (before nerfs) and I don't know how they'll fix that. Maybe they wont even try. Maybe it doesnt matter, but its sure to make the game boring for ME quick. | ||
