Grim Dawn is pretty good. Takes a lot of what worked with Titan Quest, but refines and expands the gameplay a lot. It's also a lot darker/gothic than TQ.

One problem I've always had with D2 is how instanced it is. If I wanna save and leave, I gotta go to town but when I come back to where I left off I gotta go through the same field again. Hell, in D2, you can go teleport to town for a short, temporary reprieve to sell some items, go back to where you are and lose all of your map progress. Then there's the fact loot you get isn't saved. You'll plow through hundreds of enemies but if you need to quit and return to the game later you have to do it all over again. It's tedious and badly designed. It's like playing a fucking MMO and I have no idea how that part of the game is fun.

Diablo 1? My map is saved, my loot is saved, my items are saved despite it being randomly generated. I can quit the game and have the same mana potions I left at the store ground still there to be used later. That floor I was clearing that I left off still remembers where I was when I left off and still knows my map progress. It feels like people mention Diablo 1 doesn't have loot highlight and stuff like that when Diablo 1 is objectively the better, tighter experience unless you're an addict that like enjoys repeating content over and over.

I just don't get it. Diablo 2 is a great game and everything but fuck is it annoying and repetitive. Even playing it in single player is like playing an MMO.

Amen.

D3 is basically all about speed runs and how efficient you can get which at its core is incompatible withe the dread and horror of 1 where you descend deeper into hell and its about survival

This is why Diablo 2 is instanced. So you can't just kill everything on a level and go back. You have to pick up what you want, go to store etc. before leaving the game.

Why doesn't it take a page out of D1's book and keep enemies dead? Forever?

Because that'd get boring fast? I mean you can already "rush" through the acts, farming would become mindless if enemies (the loot spawners) were dead because 1) the spawns would have to be calculated by the game (taking up CPU [for the time] processing time]) and 2) there would be no "game" there if farming was just item drops after you've cleared an act.

Why is a post-game focused, mmo light experience good? It just leads to repetitive gameplay and a situation where the first two modes are filler till you get to the "real game". In my experience this places style over substance. Encounters should count for something. Diablo 2 and 3 feel like they're addictive for the sake of being addictive the same way an mmo would. I prefer tighter, designed experience of 1. Diablo 2 is fun, it's addictive. But I don't see how addictive means good.

ARPGs in general are meant to be repetitive, the same way Shenmue is meant to be boring. It's part of the charm of the genre.

...That's the whole gameplay loop of the lootwhore genre, hon.

Kill shit->Loot pops out->cool young dude your character->Kill more shit->Finish game->Start new game+/harder difficulties->Kill shit->Loot pops-out->Kill more shit->etc.

Until you either tire or have your twinked out character that is GDLK. ...Until the season ends/character wipe.

I mean I’m not saying it’s not fun. I guess I prefer dungeon crawling in 1 to that kind of grind. I like closure. Your characters eventually becoming godlike and literally angels is the exact reason why 3 doesn’t have the mood of 1. Surely there’s a medium between D1 and D2. Something like D3 is excessive but having a tight experience of D1 and the gameplay loop of D2.

TBH D1 is a very different kind of game, and I feel like a lot of that is due to the limitations of the time when it was developed. Blizzard North wasn't a big deal and didn't get a lot of resources, it was made in a pretty short period of time IIRC, etc. It's mostly focused on being a survivalistic dungeon crawler and succeeds at it. To me the real loot based ARPG genre starts with D2. At heart they're very different games and I almost feel like comparing them is counter productive. They both succeed wildly at what they're trying to do, they're just trying to do two different things.

I feel like there’s two kinds of diablo fans. Those who love the survival first, loot second aspect and those who love loot above anything else so they can achieve mass effeciency.

I’m not sure if it’s possible to please both groups. Apparently D3 now is just about effeciency and this riles up those who like survival. D1 is all about survival and this makes it unappealing to those who want loot.

It’s not that I don’t like loot - I love it! But it’s only one element that helps increase survival. Surviving makes loot all the sweeter. If you give constant candy it’s too sweet and it makes the search for it pointless. I’m not sure how you can appease these two types of fans because their wants appear to be counter productive when put against each other.

The only solution I can think of is making the main game about survival to the point where effeciency is a necessity.

And don't forget, it was meant to be turn-based until it turned out that David Brevik was the only one on the team who preferred it that way.

I mean thats like your interpretation and I think is wrong as Rufus said it was even supposed to be turn based and the emphasis was on roguelile not loot.

Not once have I heard "we wantes showers of loot but the hardware held us back".

And yeah i agree with they are totally different games

For me D1 is the real true diablo

I'm more than halfway through Diablo 1. Should beat it by the weekend. Then I'm starting a sorc run. I'm not sure if I'll play it as much as I have done with D2 or 3, though. At least not without the expansion. I have to buy the expansion somehow. :larry Might pirate it.

In the end I think it's best for me to separate it between two different games and just enjoy D1 and D2 for what they are.

Fuck D3 though.

We should all play D2 together some time. Fuck pubs.

Well, considering that D1 is pretty singular and every ARPG since D2 has pretty much just tried to ape D2 I guess we know which group is getting catered to

Lager is right in that the souls games are a sort of spiritual successor to D1 in some ways. Of course they emphasize "absurd enemy mechanics that people mistake for dick punchingly hard difficulty" as opposed to testing skill in any real meaningful way. (DO NOT @ ME, BITCHES)

i still vividly remember the arguments as to whether diablo is a better than nethack or rogue

thanks to cindi, i now realize how badly i want a game more akin to the first diablo than the countless hack and slash titles that have followed diablo 2's footprint. i just don't personally care much for loot and much prefer the randomness you encounter in a lot of the oldschool roguelikes that made dungeon crawling so exhilarating

The 'clones' that spring to mind:

Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance
...and its Snowblind engine brother from another mother, Champions of Norrath. Good enough loot. Boring skills. Fun but shallow, which makes it feel much longer than it is. Noteworthy for doing console ARPGs right (and for having very sharp visuals, even on PS2). Made entirely obsolete by Diablo 3.

Darkstone
Apes the Diablo formula very closely, but has more outside environments. Bright and lighthearted. Early 3D, so the visuals aged poorly.

Nox
Zany and fast. Requires more dexterity than its cousins. Linear and static, so might not even belong here, but Westwood were gods and this game is good so fuck it. (Want to add Divine Divinity too, but remember even less about it. Similarly linear and static though. I think.)

Throne of Darkness
Samurai-era demonry. You control a squad of samurai rather than just one person, so some tactical wrangling required. Remember it having an odd upgrade and item system and I ultimately didn't get along with it.

Torchlight
Diablo set-up (hole in the ground, explore it), but has pets (to sell loot and buy potions for you) and fishing. I finished it, but it bored me to death. Remember nothing of quests and skill systems. Sequel was more of the same, but more varied environs.

Sacred
Doesn't have much going for it besides its custom combo system. ...Germany represent! (RIP Ascaron)

Soldak Entertainments's output (Depth's of Peril, Din's Curse, Zombasite)
Perhaps the most complex games on the list. Only ever played the demos (and bounced off). The loop matches Diablo closely, but they're more systemic, with less bespoke content, i.e. quests feel or are randomly generated, with dynamic objectives and time limits that actually matter and shit.

There are more recent games like Van Helsing, Victor Vran and Vikings - Wolves of Midgard, but they're in the Dark Alliance and Diablo 3 mold and are all going to be quickly forgotten.

Good call. Quite different from Diablo. Linear with static environments. Boring loot as I recall. It's draw is controlling an entire squad, which you will have on auto all of the time. I don't know. I think I had fun with it, but I didn't get very far into the sequel, which was more of the same, so...

Titan Quest had much more interesting skills and items, but the world is static and very boring to go through multiple times. Grim Dawn has very similar systems and is probably the better choice these days. I have yet to play it, but I hear nothing but good things about it.

Oh, also, I agree with Borys that Nox doesn't really belong (or Divine Divinity), but it's definitely worth playing regardless.

I haven't gotten around to Torchlight 2, but yeah: I agree with the assessment that 1 was very boring. The good thing about it is the pet being able to go back to the overworld to sell your stuff while you're dungeoning. But that's about it. Apparently someone modded D2's synergy system into the game which makes T2 better, but I wouldn't know yet.

Speaking of Diablo-clones: Sacred 2 is pretty boring. I tried to like it, but... it's not that great. The PC port is a bit junk (since they focused on consoles? IIRC?) and it's... not that great gameplay wise, IMO.

I remember Teknopathetic making an official thread for it on NeoGAF and it sounded/looked interesting enough, but the world just isn't engaging enough for me to want to really continue playing it.

At least I got it for a $1.

PoE had a massive restructurization once that introduced 10 Acts. That was like 1.5 year ago. Since that they only added shit for MP/ PVP like new Rifts, Infinite Dungeons etc.

I strongly recommend ANYONE liking Diablo 1/2/3 to play PoE SP. It is incredibly good and rewarding. 10 Acts of pure Diablo goodness.

Yeah I know, I've played 2 leagues since then. I just don't like how every 3 months a new layer of whatever gets added to the game, makes it too dense to keep up with. There's gotta be a happy medium between D3's "here's a ladder reset every 3 months but no new actual content except maybe 2-3 balance changes, lulz" and PoE's "yo dog we heard you liked content so here's some content to go with your content, also plz buy cosmetic microtransactions and stash tabz" approaches.

DevGameClub interviewed David Brevik recently. Haven't listened to it yet, but could be interesting.
