Why play Diablo 3, when Path of Exile and Grim Dawn do all the same stuff but better.

Its a ladder reset for the insanely gay people who think that being the guy who reached max level the fastest means something

every few months they release a big patch that adds/changes a lot of stuff and the season lets everyone start fresh with the new content. getting achievements in the seasons also gets you stash space and cosmetic stuff

I like Diablo 3 but it's seriously more fun on console imo. Been playing grim Dawn though and having a blast on veteran mode

I like console because 80% of the randos online are level 10,000 cheaters and it was an easy game to get hella trophies in

i played 2 seasons ago, and really disliked how much trading had changed. the rmah sucked too, but such limited trading was a bringdown. i don't think i could ever play this again, tbh.

You should play Borderlands 2, you almost never see loot in that game.

I can never understand how people can play Borderlands and stuff co-op without stressing about which weapons they should hang on to and whether 30 pellets of fire damage in 3 shot bursts is better than 20 toxic bullets in full auto and so on.

You don't have to stress about that in Diablo or whatever unless you are max level and have the min/max style autism

at first is a bit overwhelming comparing all those number, but you get used to it and later you'll know what you want and what to expect

In Diablo III instead of having numbers to compare they just have a bunch of up and down arrows for Attack, Defense and some third Stat so you don't even have to think about it. But it turns out if you actually look at the numbers the arrows are lying half the time so I don't even really understand their system.

Diablo 2 also had problems where what is on the screen lies to you.

They don't factor in stuff that boosts specific abilities, so if you spam a really strong spell all the time, and the new item gives +10% damage to that spell, it is basically a 10% damage upgrade, but since there's no easy way to tell the player this you have to use some online spreadsheet if you want to minmax
