Diablo 2 For PC

The_Q · February 15th, 2008, 12:36 PM

I know many of you are into PC games but I was curious how many of you have played Diablo 2 and/or the Expansion Pack for it? I am hooked on this game and think its fantastic. Any comments?

I was hooked on it a few years back, but not any more.

Diablo II up to 1.06 was great, but the rules of Lord of Destruction applied to it pretty much ruined it. LOD was great up to 1.09. The game blows since 1.10. The skill nerfs made most of the fun character builds unplayable. It also pretty much forced party play in Hell, making soloing almost impossible. The glitches that result in one hit kills remain unfixed, which makes playing hardcore impractical, and that's the only way I'd play the game. Add to that the problem of hacks, hackers, and cheats which Blizzard refuses to do anything about all that's left is of a once great game is now unappealing.

played and beat both Diablo games years ago. It was fun, but I wouldn't play it again.

Yeah I totally agree with you on the multiplayer (Battlenet) feature. I tried it but too many hackers with trainers on that that ruin it for me. I am playing it single player and am in Lut Gholein at the Arcane Sanctuary. Just got fricking slaughtered too! LOL. Now I have to backtrack and collect my corpse!!!

I loved playing it on the single player campaign. Unfortunately, it doesn't have widescreen monitor support for PC, and I hate playing games that are horizontally stretched, so I don't anticipate ever playing it again.

A newer game, which is almost exactly in the same vein but with updated graphics and technical capabilities, is Titan Quest. I've been playing this with its expansion pack for about a year, and it's just like Diablo II, but way better.

You can get the game plus the expansion pack for like $30 in one package.

Yeah, i got bored fast. :X Looks great tho, similiar gameplay(if not exact) to Diablo2

I've played both Diablo games and the expansion pack and enjoyed them way back when. Agree with booB... Titan Quest takes all the stuff that is fun about the Diablo series and improves on it. I was playing this around the same time as God of War II and so I was *really* into the Greek Mythology there for a while.
