95% of the people on this forum would have quit Diablo 2 vanilla 1 week after launch

I don’t have it and I don’t want it. I’m busy with Diablo 4 right now. I have no idea whether I would like it, and have no interest in finding out.

Again, why should I prove you wrong? Stop telling me to do something that I have no interest in doing.

You’re being silly. It’s not possible to prove such a position. You’re asking people to do the impossible.

You’ve created a logical fallacy that you probably believe makes your position look strong, but it actually does the opposite.

D2 required a master trainer to know what worked well. If you actually played the game solo the combinations were near impossible to ken.

A coworker back in Warcraft days was a genuine mathematician and loved coding. He wrote code to determine the very best and most efficient way to build the game. Made for boring once I knew the secret build sequence. Trounce any normal human in 30 to 60 seconds, every time. Made playing at cafe’s a riot as people screamed about the incoming rush. lol

Listen to your elders for once. It is easy to download.

I really wish this was the case but you’d be surprised by how many older people actually watch and follow streamers that are significantly younger than them and how many still try to be hip and cool. It’s kinda sad really.

Disagree, 10h at most, MAYBE 15h

(yes, I did assume they can manage those hours in less than a week)

He posted a “1 week after launch” three weeks or more after launch… so already a troll. But the topic is fun.

Stop telling me to do something I don’t want to.

I said I have no interest in proving you wrong, so stop telling me to. Maybe you’re wrong, and maybe you’re right. :slight_smile:

When you are 50 and hear a kid say the same about you; well, I won’t feel sorry for you.

Im old and I dated a e girl streamer. Oh god its not nearly as fun as they think it is…ive decided that being single in my 40’s is a great idea.

20 years ago the demand for games were completely different.
we have much more, good, games today so you cant compare this.

in 1996 i played Wing Commander on an Amiga 500 with maybe 8fps. i played it twice.
today nobody would play it and everybody would make videos and reddit post about it.
back then nobody cared because we could play mf Wing Commander on an Amiga 500.

Today players whine about the loading times of Bloodborne and Anthem.
20 years ago nobody cared.

Idk about people on this forum specifically, people on forums tend to be more invested.

No - 20 years ago we had variety and many many good PC games. Today, we have a few mediocre games. Nothing like the early years.

If I’m still acting like that at 50 I won’t feel sorry for myself if I get roasted by the kids either.

Honestly games today mostly suck. AAA companies get it right sometimes but bring me back to the NES and SNES days for consoles, and the 90’s-2000’s for PC gaming.

No build data … so pointless to post. And, could be AI generated and fake.

Consider yourself proven wrong.

When D2 was released, it was cutting edge and won game of the year. Gamers would play D2 because it was one of the best games at that time.

It is now 20 years later. The video game aRPG market is far competitive and players have higher standards because they know what is possible.

My hope for D4 is that the game will continue to evolve for the better. In my opinion, D2:LoD was better than D2. D3:RoS was better than D3.
