RE: Me and my friend playing some Diablo III. A game I've never played before today!
I've been a big Diablo fan for ages, but for some reason.. Diablo III didn't feel like good enough for me. It was good, I can't ignore that, but as Diablo 2 was a masterpiece for me so I didn't feel like it lived up what I had expected from it.
One game I've enjoyed instead has been Path of Exile, but it has not been as amazing as Diablo 2 was but it has it's good sides as a game.
However Diablo III is a great game and I'm happy you're enjoying playing it :) Item collecting is the best kind of happiness you can get in a game.
Path of Exile is free game on xbox, really good, it's why, people turned off from Diablo III.
Yeah I played Diablo II when I was younger and really enjiyed it but found this one to be fun aswell :) I haven't tried PoE yet but probably will in the future! Yeah it's been great! Thanks for stopping by :) hope you've had a good holiday season so far
Well I'm happy you can enjoy this game too!
Well as good as Finnish holidays can be.. ;) Thanks, I wish the same for you!
Players always had high expectations for Diablo Series, I assume it is difficult to life up to them. Diablo2 was a blast though graphics were already outdated when it was released. Its rich gameplay allowed for one of the first pushes towards mainstream for gaming in my generation, and since there were not too many alternatives for really easy joining together in online gaming - it was a blast! I got into games with Diablo2 and with all the games I have played until now, no, Diablo is not that unique. But it really, really was.
I do remember when the first Diablo came out and it already was a great game. Luckily back in the days Diablo 2 could easily become so much better than first Diablo had been, Diablo 2 set it's mark on it's own genre and as we can see, it still has it's weight.
As you said, Diablo 3 had it's burden of high expectations so even if it was good, it's not easy to reach the expectations. Most of the competitors are far away from the level Diablo 3 is, which proves it's own strengths.
