You forgot the endgame AKA "being the biggest jew at banter". And motherfuckers remove trading!

>what went wrong?
EVERYTHING.

>what went right?
Literally nothing.

>banter
I mean, barter* What a Freudian slip.

why are the classes so cool in this game?

>barbarian
motherfucking shouts have deep bass
be a badass warrior capable of mowing down the minions of hell
frenzy + shouts make you feel like a god

>necromancer
sarcastic and powerful with dark curses
the master of a undead armies
"all who oppose me..beware"
frail yet powerful with magic

other classes didn't resonate as well with me

diablo 3 heroes are pussies in comparison

pls respond

Fuck D2 fanboys.

Sacred 2 and D3 master-race

So I've played:
Diablo 1-3
Torchlight 1+2
Path of Exile
Titan Quest
Grim Dawn
Soma Bringer
Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance
Dungeon Siege 1+2

Any other important ones I'm still missing?

Sacred 1-2

>cain killed by butterflies

what did blizzard employees mean by this?
they sat in a room and thought that was a great moment for the series?

>mah story

look, it plays some role in my enjoyment of the game. d3's atmosphere is so weird with everyone giving these cringy monologues making it sound super duper epic. the story tries to be so "epic" like they were making a game for kids

at least in d2 i could role play in my head because of the music and one liners the characters.

story matters when the game feels like shit lel

On the same note then , I couldn't find the powerfantasy enjoyment I got from D3 act III on any other ARPG. Diffrerent strokes for different folks.

I don't give a fuck about the story, but I'm honestly still annoyed how much it fucking looks like WoW. Blizzard games all look like the same cartoony bullshit nowadays.

i will agree on that. you feel like a god mowing down enemies

love the demon hunter class

Dark Alliance 2

PoE is actually better
the only issue is that half the content of the game is hidden behind a full autism barrier

>what went wrong?
Blizzard doing fuck all about botting.
Duping.
>what went right?
Pretty much everything else.
Especially this youtube.com/watch?v=vS0r4ku35Yc

Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance 2
Champions of Norrath
Champions: Return to Arms

bump

>potions
The single worse addition to this genre ever

Classes should have their own sustainability, not this cheap as fuck spam Q to heal crap.

Which ARPG has the lowest requirements to run?

>>a 15 year old game and it's expansion are still the kings of this genre
PoE is better in pretty much every single way, though?

Why do americans call hack & slash arpgs?

Divine Divinity
Beyond Divinity

Are you asking if it is?
Path of Exile is pretty good I guess.

A hack and slash is something like devil may cry. An ARPG is a hack and slash with rpg components, not just skill upgrades

Why do you call diablo clones hack and slash

Been looking into this game for a long time, but isn't it like $15 on their site? Seems a bit ridiculous.

Dmc is a 3d beat them all, arpgs are things like witcher and those weebshit games
I do call them diablo like actually

>Divine Divinity
is that the one where there's this area you go to whenever you want and there's dungeons you can do to level up and shit before going back to the story?

Definitely Van Helsing series
Victor Vran
MOST DEFINITELY AND ABSOLUTELY Sacred 1 gold
