THE KRUG ARE ATTACKING!

Diablo-likes that try to incorporate story

I think Ross covered it quite well.

Shitty bland diablo clone that tries to be more than a pure hack&slash and fails miserably at everything

First one is great, it's very passive compared to other action RPGs. Very relaxing/boring depending on how engaged you are. All I remember from the second one is that they went crazy with the active skills, I remember how corpses exploded when they got hit with some of them. The third one I only played the demo, heard it's not that bad but no idea why they decided to focus more on some lore and story in a Dungeon Siege game.

Imagine Diablo in a diet Lord of the Rings universe that takes a few pages from Double Dragon.

first game was good in a "ill click once and watch these motherfuckers auto attack for the next 8 hours in a farm, a cave, a glacial cave, a swamp, a technological factory, some weird native badlands, a medieval town and an actual desert"

Second game was a lot more fun and interactive, but the expansion absolutely broke the balancing and made it impossible to play AKA enemies hit twice as hard early on and had inflated HP pools, you were literally going bankrupt from potions as mobs were 3 shotting your tank and healing spells WERE NOT FUCKING ECONOMICAL AND COSTS MORE IN MANA THAN HEALTH POTIONS!! This also made certain bosses like the big viking boss literally 1 shot you so hard resurrection spells dont even work.

then you hit "Cruel" difficulty on your 2nd playthrough and everything does almost 0 damage to your tank but 3 shots your DPS, makes no fucking sense.

was fun though, but the expansion broke the "base" game.

played the one on PSP for some reason, was a super generic run of the mill hack & slash but I finished it

they're shit mediocre

third one has good waifus/sluts

>falling asleep to Ross talking about video games

Comfy

>mfw getting crits with the rifle blast skill

Not that good. The only reason you see people talking positively about it is because they faintly remember playing it when they were 8 and had no standards.

katarina is a gift from the heavens.
hair, freckles, eyes, legs.

All I remember is that it was basically like walking in a straight line from beginning to end with nothing engaging about it.

The third game is a genuine waste of time and money because of the controls/camera.

I have no fucking idea what they were trying to do with that camera, but they should all be sent to the sun for that embarrassment.

>The third game is a genuine waste of time and money because of the controls/camera.
It's from Obsidian, what the flying fuck you expected?

OP here.

The reason I ask is because steam recommended it due to my playtime in torchlight 2.

I can't say exactly why I like TL2 but never could get into the diablo games, but I think it just has to do with being both comfy and enjoyable to kill shit.

Given the series is less than $5 I'll probably pick 1 and 2, but I wasn't sure if it was worth my time over Dragon's Dogma, which I also just got.

>playing torchlight
>not playing D2

eh, the first was the bomb. it was like a 3d diablo and very linear. it was fun to run through with different builds. i remember modding it as a kid. the 2nd was somehow a bit worse. the third i was unable to even get through

What platform did you play it on?

DD should be your priority if you haven't played it before. Power through the boring first 2-3 hours of tutorial shit, skip all the quests in the first town if you want because it's fucking gay, once you get to the capital shit gets way better, just don't fucking start as mage for the love of god. Be a man, play 2H warrior and ARC OF DELIVERANCE the fuck out of niggers, 1 shot the final boss or get 1 shot by him because you misstime it, all or nothing.

Stop telling people how to play.

Warrior is boring shit with only half the skills of other classes, play Assassin instead.

i remeber playing the second one, i had good memories of it.

It's on sale now and i really want to buy it but i have literally no money, maybe some other time.

This. The best thing to happen to it is DS3.
