More boring stats doesnt make it more complex, just more boring. Sayng "complex itemization" looks like a way to look like a cool mature guy who played D2 since game release. Just look at PoE, it's in no way better than D3. Yet people say it is cuz it has like tons of craft components and every one of them is needed. And that talent tree. Saying it makes game better is like saying book can only be good only when it was wrote using kanji and has plot so complex you have to reread it ten times to understand. Well I read naked launch and it has like no plot. Yet I really enjoyed it and it's one of the best novels existing. I just wanna say you shouldn't say shit like "this thing and that is what makes game good or bad". Criteria of being interesting and comparing games using these criteria is just bs made up by bored nerds having nothing better to do than arguing about what is interesting and what isn't. I'm not saying it to insult someone, sorry if it looks like I do. Just try to have some actual fun.
D2 only had one big change during it's 12 year run, nothing else, no 3 mth patches with new items and set buffs.
And still many consider D2 the more complex aRPG game. Thus the thread.
Top 5 votes currently (25+ voters on each):
1) End game build diversity
2) Paragon/experience system
3) Solo vs group disparity
4) No real economy/trading
5) Itemization (item progression)
I am not surprised at all. I hope Blizzard are taking notes if they decide to make D4 some day.
Nah, man, D2 wasn't more complex, it was same boring farm with few boring builds for each class. It had some pvp you could participate if you wanted to, though. When I see people whining about how Blizzard should've made D2HD I can't get how can they be so stupid and how they think Blizzard can be stupid enough to do shit lice D2 remastered. I laughed at people believing when fake D2HD site appeared. And I don't get people whining D3 is bad, it has bad things like paragons and legendary gems. It's good, it's just became boring after years of being almost the same. Still it had some big changes few times and I enjoyed it. Being the same for so long is the reason I don't play WoW even though I think it's one of the best MMO's ever made. I just can't play same shit since 2005 and not become bored.
Well the main reason of D3 "death" is lack of new content obviously. D2 was all about boring farm, so is D3. It'd be fine if Blizzard were to add new content every now and then. They're not doing it, though. Mostly cuz they have better ways to make more money. Yeah, I actually wanna say hearthstone and overwatch are also reasons D3 sucks. Not like I hate HS and OW, both games are awesome.
