Ok. So that's a subjective opinion. So when you say "good" you mean what you think is good. Which is a fair opinion; I'm sure many agree with you and many also don't.

We have people arguing aimlessly like dogs barking in the middle of the night about what makes games good when it's very subjective. Sales are fair to cite when discussing the popularity/quality of a game, since that's one of the few metrics that exists, but we also know that sales can serve as a very poor gauge for quality as well, with some notable recent examples coming to mind... It's hard to quantify a "good game". Stating the same opinion over and over to someone that clearly doesn't care or isn't listening is pointless lol.

I would argue D3 has tons of issues when it comes to sustainable fun and replayability, but I still make a couple new chars and push to GR60+ every season. I would argue that the hole they've dug themselves into with the way set bonuses work and the HUGE damage increases (800% to X ability...) is a really tough one to get out of without a major rework of the game's core approach and skill system, but I also think it well served it's purpose of buffing certain sets/builds each season to give most classes something new to try. In that sense I was kind of hoping to hear something about D4 rather than another expansion, but I'm not getting my hopes up. And I'm also not someone that played much D2 or PoE or any other similar titles.

Edit: I'm not claiming that debating or discussing what makes a game good or bad is pointless. Folks will do that until the end of times. But watching you and Jimmy was definitely pointless lol. If you have a strong opinion about something you need to do a better job of persuading people rather than stating is as a bold fact. I know plenty of people that would love a really deep skill/rune system in a future D3 expansion or D4, but don't think D3 is utter rubbish or that Blizzard is a bunch of fools.

I prefer Diablo 3 to Diablo 2 and you'll never convince me otherwise, just as I'll never convince you otherwise. My problem is that you Diablo 2 guys keep trying to convince everybody otherwise. Both Diablo 2 and Diablo 3 are old games at this point. It doesn't matter which is still more popular on twitch as that is only a very, very, very, very tiny fraction of the playerbase. You guys are moving the goalposts and arguing about very meaningless metrics.

You're trying to pass off your very subjective opinions as to what constitutes a good game and shoving it down our throats.
