I've never really played on line. Looked at it a few times but it always seems to be loaded with "Super" beefed up characters being used by people who live in there. If I could find a nice "Kicking back, killing some baddies, having some fun" channel on there I'd go for it. :D

GOOD FOR YOU.

Diablo 2: brings out the loot whore in everyone. :)

Diablo 2 : makes most of others hack n' slash look like meh (but D1 and TL2 of course ...titan quest in some aspects is fine too)

Diablo II is very worth it. My husband and I just reinstalled it on our computers to start playing again together. Like others have said, if you really like the hack & slash genre you should play Torchlight 1 and 2, they are really good games. The first Diablo is really awesome too if you want to start from the beginning of the series. I haven't played Diablo 3 and probably won't since it sounds like crap compared to the others.

I loved Diablo II back in the day, but after playing PSO for Gamecube it's hard to go back to Diablo II now. PSO is better in every way, I've put hundreds of hours into it. More recently I played Torchlight II and Monster Hunter Tri, and I'm waiting for Grim Dawn. I haven't even played Titan Quest yet (I hope it comes to GOG soon).

I keep hoping to see Diablo 1 revived and keep being disappointed :( It'd be great on tablets or mobile devices (but so would D2, I suppose)

If you still have the cd key, you can register it in a Battle.net account and a get a digital version.

I didn't like it even in 2000. Diablo was excellent and provided excellent material for a sequel, but Diablo 2 somehow managed to be boring.

I really enjoyed Diablo II. As the graphics were pre-polygon, I don't think they have really dated, and in 800x600 it looks really good (although my monitor only goes up to 1280x1024, so the distortion isn't too bad). They're from the golden era of Blizzard games - before it all got too cartooney with Warcraft III.

If you like hack-and-slash action RPGs, then you could get a lot worse than this. If you're expecting an RPG approaching the depth and complexity of Fallout or Baldur's Gate, then it probably isn't.

I don't think I've ever played/enjoyed a game quite as much as Diablo 2. I spent literally thousands of hours over several years playing this game.

You shouldn't even think twice about buying it, you'll get countless hours of fun out of it for sure.

In a way I agree, Diablo had a great atmosphere, that was missing in Diablo II. I also thought Diablo II looked worse too (e.g. the torches that cast shadows).

Are you suggesting that Warcraft II isn't cartoony?

I never understood why people criticize things being "cartoony". Do you hate Akira and Princess Mononoke because they are cartoons? I think that's sad.

Well, Warcraft II is a bit cartoony, but there's a certain look to Blizzard titles that started with Warcraft III and was cemented with World of Warcraft. I think it's probably mainly down to the game engine they use. I don't have a problem with cartoons per se, it's just that I don't think the look was appropriate for Diablo III.

As for Akira and Princess Mononoke, I reserve judgment as I've never heard of them before and have no idea what they are. I can report that I do love "God, the Devil and Bob" which was a cartoon.

Well said.
To think that instead of posting in and reading this thread we could all be out playing Diablo 2, making ourselves better people and making the world a better place, how sad.
