I just dont get the interest in Diablo. I never found it fun at all.

What am I missing?



Diablo 1 was very unique during its time. You must understand that if you did not play it "back then", people may not feel the same as what many older players of the ~90s felt. We're talking here about some kind of gaming "Woodstock" or some crap.

As silly as it sounds, it's like being live at Woodstock Jimi Hendrix vs MP3 Jimi.

Tbh, I am not too hot on D3 myself as I am very certain it will be too "wow/pop cult influenced".

Diablo 1 kept a very dark theme all the time. D2 followed the trait most of the time.

Well, if you did play D1 back then and didn't like it, well, you just didn't like it .

Interesting. When people do not even grasp the concept, is it pretty much an indictment against an entire generation?



Or perhaps you need to look in the mirror.

They did a good job with Starcraft 2, a fun game. That said, this game lack the usual content of Blizzard's game. Online gaming was fun but contrary to SC1, balance was an issue on 3vs3 and 4vs4. So i would not turn my head of any Blizzard's games because of WoW current status.


That said, although I found Diablo 1 fun, it was not the type of RPG I enjoyed. true it was fairly innovative but not as interesting as other games in my opinion.


As for Diablo 2, it was a polished game, fun but graphics were terrible even at the time they launch it.


I will certainly buy Diablo 3 but I do not think it will be the next best thing. I honestly believe a lot of talented people left Blizzard over the time and you can feel it. About this, Torchlight was created by Blizzard's former employees and the did a funny game is less then 1 year. This is what talent does, with limited resources, limited time a fun cheap game. Imagine the same people with limitless budget.

No I get it just fine. Only a chump would think gaming companies have "ethics".

Ideology is not reality.
To make good policy, one must consider all ideologies and decide which best solves the reality of the situation. Ideology is afterall, JUST AN IDEA.
