i bought diablo 2 like 10year ago but never installed it but i kinda like diablo 3 shoukld i install 2

2 was about a billion times better than 3 but you kinda liked 3 so you might have bad taste and wouldn't like 2 due to that.

I made a pet then got an item editor to make a boogermancer. I like boogermancer. I think you can see my post about my tweaks to boogermancer if you search for boogermancer on google.

This is great, and if you are the author, then props to you. I'm gonna play some Grim Dawn now.

e: Grim Dawn is a great version of what Diablo 3 could have been.

You now speak to Ormus.

He was once a great mage, but now lives like a rat in a sinking vessel. You have questions for Ormus, and doubt in yourself. Ormus sees a strange dichotomy in you, as he does in all would-be heroes. Speak to him, and he will grant you wisdom in turn. Or turn from him, and seek wisdom in thyself.

Diablo 3 has turned into a pretty good game over time with all the updates and additions. It's my go to couch coop game with the wife on PS4. Really wish they hadn't replaced the necromancer with the witch doctor, though.

diablo 3 is casual bullshit with no rpg stat building and all the characters are the same, I can't tell if torchlight 2 or grim dawn is the better game

Grim Dawn looks fun and good if you can play single player.

I own Diablo 3, but I can't play it because of my satellite internet. The ping is so high that it's pointless even trying.

Honestly, Diablo 2 had a terrible endgame: running the same boss a thousand times, so you can... continue running a boss you already have on lock.

Diablo 3 is much better in this department. An infinitely scaling random dungeon with the gem levels etc. is a better deal than endless Baal runs.

Diablo 3 doesn't let me sell the loot for real money so it has a worse end-game.

Running infinite anything is a scrub tier endgame in any Diablo title. The real man's endgame is PvP enabled Hardcore mode :getin:

i have d3 installed and i do some runs here and there every so often when I have 20 mins to kill because it's still fun and after the patches the gear is pretty decent and the endgame is good too

idk it doesn't re-capture that d2 magic for whatever reason that I can't quite put my finger on but it's cool my wizard still melts everything and that's fun

played path of exile a bit last night, I'll prolly do some more right now. I agree with the poster who said it looks like clay and the camera angle is annoying but w/e I guess. It is free. Although, D3 paid for itself (and Starcraft) when I sold some Tal Rasha's poo poo I sniped on the AH for cheap gold so that was technically free as well.

It's not just patches you need to pay money for the expansion to find out. That's why I give the same lol treatment as people who say "come back to Destiny!"

Classic is better than expansion. But you want expansion anyway for the client features.

I think the only reason anyone would say classic D2 is better than LoD is if they are some kind of sperg that prefers earlier patch versions of a skill to a ton of new and better content

It has almost all of the patch changes of expansion.

Rares being actually decent, no stupid charms, no overpowered runewords, and leveling is fun because chaos sanc is infinitely more fun than baal runs. It also doesn't have a lot of the dumb a5 areas/mobs. The gear level in classic doesn't put you significantly above the mob strength like it does in expansion, and overall the itemization is just much more enjoyable to me. It's more like you are playing your character (stats/skills) than playing your gear. There's also some degree of teamwork.

I play expansion pretty often, but if I wanna sperg and actually grind then classic is way more fun. Kinda doesn't matter in 2016 because the game is dead so you just end up doing casual expansion playthroughs.
