I read on AOL that Marvel vs Capcom 2 is coming out next year. There's no way in hell it can possibly be better than the first game. What are they gonna do? It's not like they can make it 3 characters vs 3 characters

I heard the roster is gonna be huge;, like, every Marvel and Capcom character ever!

SquareSoft peaked with Final Fantasy 6 and is going to go out of business with the tripe they are publishing.

Its pretty close to being a great series. I bet once the sequel is optimized for the Voodoo3 itll look more realistic and be even more fun.

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.

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.
