Yeah I mean the idea of the PS2 sounds interesting but they'll never be able to match the PS1 catalog of excellent game titles

I don't see how they're going to improve over GTA2. I mean what are they going to do? Make it 3D or something? That's just stupid.

Diablo or Daggerfall? 2,140 views George Heuer's profile photo George Heuer unread, 3/11/97 to I am in a delima which should I buy? George J. Heuer Susan's profile photo Susan unread, 3/12/97 to >I am in a dilemma which should I buy? Well, get out of your dilemma and get Daggerfall with its latest patch of course. It is far more worthwhile. Of course, it does depend a little on what you are looking for. In Diablo it is all hack and slash. The quests are extremely shallow and in multi player mode very few. You will be spending your entire time trying to find better equipment and playing levels over and over again in the hopes of finding better equipment. You will also be cheating at some point, IMHO, for gold at least if nothing else. Daggerfall is much more your typical RPG with its much more elaborate quests that do not dry out or stop after you get so far through the game. In Daggerfall you have much more character interaction and inventory management to be concerned with. Daggerfall is a much richer dungeon game then Diablo. That said and done if adventuring is your interest get Daggerfall. If killing is your interest get Diablo. If you would like to go adventuring with other players over the Internet then neither game will work. You can play Diablo in multi player mode via the Internet but you will only be hacking and slashing to kill Diablo. Daggerfall does not have any multi player mode. It really isn't any more complicated then that. My only regret about Daggerfall (I have not played it yet) is that Bethesda did such a god awful initial release of it, but I understand now with patch 200 +? the game has settled down to being quite enjoyable. My regret about Diablo is the PeopleKilling (PKing) and TownKilling and equipment and gold cheating that is so rampant. After killing Diablo once in multiplayer and earning my red spot I tried to advance further in nightmare mode. This proved to difficult and frustrating for me as I could not find better equipment to stave off the blows of the much stronger monsters. At this point trying to continue without cheating was futile. In the end I hated Diablo very much for getting so hooked on it and spending so darn much time. There was no adventure value in it. I have a feeling after reading all of this that you will KNOW which one you would really like to get. And I truly would not be surprised which. Both games seem to be going in opposite directions now. Daggerfall is coming together as a much better game then it started out as, while Diablo seems to fall apart more as cheating permeates through it. Must I add IMHO? Good luck.

Can you believe this game has a 50MB -that's right MEGAbytes!- day one patch? Do these assholes think we're all on 56k modems? I hope this doesn't start a trend.

2/6/97 There have been a few brave souls who have called Diablo an CRPG, to those I say that Diablo isn't even close to being a real role playing game. On the other hand Diablo is an excellent arcade game with role playing elements. In fact I'd say it's one of the funest games available today! Could the Diablo system be a good CRPG? I would say definitely. Expand the game beyond the little town. Add some NPCs. Add a story. Add quests and quest items. Add some incremental tasks combining quests and people that build a developing story. Now you've got a real roll playing game! Of course doing that would make it very difficult to create a good multiplayer game. I think that in some ways Diablo did a lot to support multiplay capabilities. In diablo you only basically have one task, get to the bottom of the dungeon. You start a level and kill all the monsters. For this your character gets stonger. You find powerup items to further enhance your character. Repeat this until you get to the lowest level and beat the baddest monster. Sounds like an arcade or video game to me... Even final fantasy games blow this away in details, story and complexity. All that said I love this game. I don't have to do much thinking and I love plunging the dungeon looking for a better weapon and finding clever ways to kill all the monsters. I like getting together with my brother and daughter to do some monster bashing. It's a hell of a lot of fun! I just consider it quite unlike a real role playing game like Ultima 7 and it's like.

Really. I suppose 6 NPCs and one town is all your limited brain and twitchy finger can handle. Oh yes lets not leave out the great profusion of quests. Kill the bad guy on level 3. Kill the bad guy on level 2. There are also a couple of book quests kill the room full of skeletons, kill all the vanishing creatures. Lets not forget kill the thing in the bottom of the dungeon. Have you ever played a game like ultima with 100s of characters and tons of places to go and things to see. Go to tom the cleric in ultima and ask him about the horn of life. He tells you more about a fable of a person how had the horn and was last seen in the north sea... etc. I hope you can get the idea. Ugh!! I'm really getting hot at this post. Diablo is a great game. I would love to see the mechanics and graphics applied to create a real role playing game. Diablo could be much more... As it is it's still a great game just not what I would seriously call a CRPG game.
