The difference between us is that i dont make a list of fetish features for myself, against which i compare a game to know if its good.
Top down view… Check.
Stat based loot… Check.
Skill-based combat… Check.
Resource gui looking like orbs… Check.
Talents… Oh… OMG, what a garbage game!!! Flips the table
I play and enjoy the game for what it is, without endlessly comparing it to other games i like.
D3 may not have some things d2 had… And half of the time - thank f-ing god for that. But it has lots of stuff that d2 didnt even dream about. For that, i like it.
It would have been super-boring to play the same game with updated graphics.
