For me it has a lot to do with family. when Diablo 1 was still new I was a teenager and I remember my dad picking up the game and me watching him play and as soon as I got a chance at the family pc i started playing it. It ended up becoming a point of discussion between my dad and I.He and I we would talk about new items we had found and it became kind of a competition on how far we had got in the game. By the time D2 came out I was living on my own and my dad and I played it together for countless hours especially after Lod came out. I know a lot of people would disagree with me but I still get the general feeling when I play D3 and finally get that legendary I have been searching for. The only other series I can say that I have been playing this long would be the final fantasy series. for me Diablo has become a family thing and now my 18 year old son is playing as well way more casually than I do but he still loves the game.
That is a really great story! Thanks for sharing it!
I admit my foolish lizard brain falls prey to the Skinner Box style of gaming. Probably why I enjoy Idle games (An actual, real guilty pleasure of mine. I feel like I should NOT like those games as much as I do), I like seeing big numbers go up.
D3 is also one of the few games I have some relative skill at. I'm garbage at things like LoL and my skill level on competitive shooters like Call of Duty depends on a multitude of variables. I'm bad when I first wake up, and I lose morale quickly when the other team is far superior to my own, which in turn, lowers my personal will to win the match.
Meanwhile on D3, I hopped on Torment X as soon as I hit Paragon 250 and... I do fine. Helps that I'm a ranged escape artist so I jump out of AoE's and generally keep the hell away from large elite mob groups but otherwise - I don't die every three seconds and thus, not a burden to the team.
