I usually go with a basic melee, so it'd normally be Barbarian, but I'd like to mix it up a bit. Don't know what my second choice would be.

So, I haven't played Diablo since D1. How lost will I be if I pick this up and play it? I've played a couple of Diablo clones since then that were click click loot loot, cooldowns. Is D3 going to be pretty straight-forward like those ones? Also is Diablo one of those games that is like 150 hours long to get to the ending? Because I don't think I ever finished Diablo 1. It was pretty long iirc. I did finish Torchlight though.

The constant 'will my PC play this' or 'can I deal with this complexity' worries I see from many folks re: Diablo or StarCraft amuse me, I have to say.

Blizzard have spent how many years tuning the fuck out of this? And it had massively broad-based appeal anyway. Sure, you can get to a point where it will be overwhelming. But it's not going to be in even the first 20 hours I bet.

Bebpo · « **Reply #306 on:** May 12, 2012, 10:48:35 PM »

Sounds like I should pick this up. I haven't played a Blizzard game since Warcraft II since I don't play MMOs or RTSs, but I do enjoy loot games!

The purpose of getting to the ending in a Diablo game is so that you can restart from the beginning at a higher difficulty.

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #308 on:** May 12, 2012, 11:08:53 PM »

Relative to the other games in the genre Diablo is really simple and pickup and play. You will have no issues coming to grips with it. By comparison for instance the Sacred series is harder to pick up.

I never finished Diablo 1 because I got bored, not because of the difficulty

I get tired of dungeon games after about 20 hours of floors. I like the genre, but I don't love it.

Cormacaroni · « **Reply #318 on:** May 13, 2012, 02:26:43 AM »

that'll be me too. It seems incredibly important to you to play one more hour to get that one more thing for a certain amount of time....and then you leave it for a few days due to LIFE and then you realize that it doesn't fucking matter in the least and never touch it again

how many have you played? because diablo 1 is a poor reference for the genre, except for torchlight.

Not many, I'll give you that.

I played Diablo 1 in the olden days, and I barely remember anything besides a butcher monster den with gore corpses early on. I remember playing it for a few a weeks since that was back when I'd only have like 1 game to play for a few months. It was fun though, great atmosphere and cool loot gameplay. Very morbid.

Then I played some Record of the Lodoss War on Dreamcast, that was my 2nd experience with diablo-games. Probably played 4-5 hours over a couple of days and got bored.

Then I played Shining Force Neo on PS2 for a few hours and dug it but didn't feel compelled to get really far.

Then I played Torchlight a year or two ago when it came out and it was really fun and short and I actually finished it after 20 hours. My first and only game in the genre I felt compelled to complete. I liked the graphics and hearing it was short made me figure "well, I might as well just finish it since I already sunk 6-8 hours in".

Always wanted to play Diablo 2 & Titan's Quest. Just never found the time. D2 came out when I was out of the country so I missed the release window and TQ never got out of the backlog despite that I dig Greek Mythology so it looks like a game I'd enjoy. I've played a ton of games that have loot and some that are heavily diablo-inspired like Deathspank, but not actually Diablo-style dungeon crawlers.

I like the combat and the loot and the enemies. Mapping out each floor 100%, getting chests, trying to survive further. After a certain amount of time though I need a compelling story or something to keep me going instead of just "Oh man, can't wait to get a BIGGER SWORD so that I can fight BIGGER ENEMIES so that I can get an EVEN BIGGER SWORD". That's fun and addicting like Pilonv1 says, but it's that MMO-ish kind of eternal grind and I play games to finish them and move on to the next one

the plot of the first game is that a big demon called diablo exist and you go kill him!
the plot of diablo 2 is that the big demon called diablo returns along with his brothers with name i can't remember and you kill all 3 of them!

i suspect diablo 3 is about diablo cousins
