@Vayra86 i know I made THIS review on it where I kinda say the same
@Jill Valentine except it's not. I wanted exactly the same but you won't get it (we...we won't get it cuz I'm in the same boat with you)
@Operandi yeah I also considered Diablo 2 to be the king, and everything that came after was like a copy/paste something... But new implementations and mechanics etc matter so much.
Check out this article Not So Massively: Diablo II Resurrected is a lot of old school jank in a pretty wrapper
This is what one of the viewers has commented on my video
"I enjoy the game and I'm buying it, but I get what you're saying. I share many of the same issues. I feel like not quite enough has been done to make the gameplay less clunky.
The way you select and cast spells compared to modern ARPGs is awful and slow, keeping the potion belt loaded up is obnoxious, and your inventory filling up after picking up like 4 or 5 pieces of loot gets really old really fast. I think we all put up with this stuff 20 years ago because the game was so fresh and amazing for the time, but in 2021 Diablo 2 is - in terms of how it controls - clunky and trashy.
Games like Path of Exile and Grim Dawn are so much more fluid and you get to focus more on playing the game rather than switching spells or loading up a belt or taking your 10th trip back to town in 30 minutes. It's inevitable people are going to hate your video, because most people can't see anything from a point of view other than their own and there are a lot of people who like the aesthetic/emotional feeling that they're this ardent defender of the sanctity of classic games.
But these people don't actually care about the game itself, they only care about that emotional feeling of "defending" it against people who want to make it better. Anyone who cares about the actual enjoyability of the game should admit that the way the game plays is tedious and out of date. But it could be fixed fairly easily. And I'm 35 and played Diablo 2 when it was new, so I'm not just some kid rolling up for the first time. I was there back in the day. But nostalgia goggles are stupid."
