Title: Re: Diablo II
Post by: y2kev on December 23, 2007, 01:18:16 AM: I played bits before of it. Like I have done the Den of Evil quest like at least 600 times.

But I was doing the quest to kill the Countess in the Forgotten Tower and after I SLAYED HER gold and shit just started pouring out of EVERY SINGLE ORIFICE

And it was small amounts of gold of course since I'm still early and I probably ain't seen nothing, but JESUS FUCK if picking up shit and hoarding it isn't fun.

Is there a way to examine an item without equipping it/picking it up?

And someone spill the beans about diablo 3, whores.

Are you still enjoying the game? :)

Title: Re: Diablo II
Post by: BlueTsunami on December 23, 2007, 03:04:15 AM: I think it primarily being MMO based is what makes it way different than Diablo. I agree that their are similarities but I would like a traditional Offline Diablo with instanced Dungeons instead of fully being Online.

Oh yes, I want that too. But when I played WoW. I felt like i was playing a new diablo online. Same treadmill gameplay.

Post by: Mondain on December 25, 2007, 01:47:01 AM: One of the worst series ever

CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICKCLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICKCLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICKCLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICKCLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICKCLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICKCLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK

That's all its gameplay consists of. We were having a computer RPG renaissance in the mid to late nineties, but Diablo games came along and ruined it all with their distinguished mentally-challenged clickfest gameplay that overshadowed everything Black Isle Studios and others were doing.

I'm glad to know that Blizzard tried many times to make a Diablo III but that every time it failed to meet up their "standards". Hopefully they never succeed.

Post by: Van Cruncheon on December 26, 2007, 07:52:25 PM: as my wife -- a non-gamer -- observed, you just click and HOLD in diablo 2. no spastic clicking necessary!

mondain is a dumb's dumb
Title: Re: Diablo II
Post by: Mondain on December 26, 2007, 08:33:26 PM: Diablo's mindless isometric dungeon hacking might be addictive, but it sucks. Blizzard fanboys are the worst videogame fanboys of all.
Title: Re: Diablo II
Post by: Van Cruncheon on December 26, 2007, 09:25:08 PM: diablo ii is probably the greatest game of all time
Title: Re: Diablo II
Post by: Howard Alan Treesong on December 26, 2007, 09:41:56 PM: FFXII has all the deep gameplay of Diablo II without the tedious clicking. The game clicks for you!

If you are trying to argue "Diablo II is shallow, all you do is click" in 2007 then you are a dumb dumb.

Oh, wait, you're Mondain.
Title: Re: Diablo II
Post by: MrAngryFace on December 26, 2007, 11:03:00 PM: Every game has clicking, furthermore, Diablo II had click and fuck hold, CLICK CLICK CLICK was Diablo I you fucking loser. God damnit Mondain ARHGHHGGH you KEEP SAYING BULLSHIT AHRHGHGHGHHGH
Title: Re: Diablo II
Post by: Eric P on December 26, 2007, 11:45:16 PM: to be honest people bitching about dungeon siege's "no click attack" like it was a bad thing drove me up the wall. constant clicking was annoying.

I actually don't think there are many Blizzard fanboys here, just Diablo fans.

I was one until WoW.
Title: Re: Diablo II
Post by: CajoleJuice on December 27, 2007, 12:02:22 AM: Actually, I wasn't the biggest WC3 fan either. I'm probably more a Starcraft fanboy than anything, even though I enjoyed both Diablo I and II.

Title: Re: Diablo II
Post by: MrAngryFace on December 27, 2007, 12:20:28 AM: yeah thats one of their few eh, but it wasn't HORRIBLE, its just the DC license is teh ass, and 90% of fighting games on SNES sucked if their name wasnt Street Fighter

Title: Re: Diablo II
Post by: Van Cruncheon on December 27, 2007, 01:01:05 AM: starcraft = blizzard
justice league heroes = snowblind

Post by: TVC15 on December 27, 2007, 01:42:51 AM: Let's see, my opinions on the Blizzard library

Warcraft: The first one was awesome. I remember gettiung a demo disk, a 3.5 floppy, months before the game came out and playing it to death on my shitty 386. It wasn't even fast enough to play Warcraft at full speed, and I *still* played it to death. I think I played Dune 2 more though, mainly because myc omputer could run it full speed, lol.

Warcraft 2: I had a 486 (I think) by the time this came out, and I played it to death. I think I was between machines when the exp hit, though.

Diablo: Played this on my first Pentium, I played it A FUCKING lot.

Starcraft: Never got too into it. Probably why I am not so huge on Starcraft II.

Diablo II: OMG best game ever. I still play it to this day. Blizzard should have released MOAR EXPANSIONS.

Warcraft 3: Couldn't get into it. It was the first game of theirs that felt like a disappointment to me. Scale was so small compared to other RTSes of the day, and even though it's, as warcock would say, all about the micro, it doesn't really have that much depth, in my opinion. It just plays like an RTS where you only have a few units. And the heroes mechanic SOILED RTS games for years afterwards.

WoW: Like the second best game ever behind Diablo 2.
Title: Re: Diablo II
Post by: brawndolicious on December 27, 2007, 03:52:09 PM: well the advantage of WC3's smaller battles was that you had to move faster to defend your base and it was easier to use the special abilities of your units.
