D4 is D3, not D2

Damn these franchise sequels that use the same ideas as their predecessors.

The other day I was playing Civilization VI and , to my surprise, you still build cities and units. It might as well just be Civ 1 with better graphics.

Then I played a new Mario game and wouldn’t you know it, I had to hit blocks with my head to get power ups and stomp on mobs, just like the original.

At this point I nearly flipped my table in rage. To calm myself I popped in the latest Pokémon game and discovered I still had to catch and battle pokemon!

I’m done with games! Game designers and dev are so lazy!

Have you read my reasons for making this thread or just whatever was of your convenience?

Or Baal runs, or Diablo runs, or Mephistos runs, or Andariel runs, or Cow runs, or Pit runs, or Countess runs, and now terrorized runs, Uber Diablo, Uber Tristram.

Tell me more about helltides and legions.

Now play Civ 17 with a fraction of your options because we need to dumb it down for Nokia phones. Then if you complain about it, your just not noticing how much better it is over the snake game.

It would be completely unrealistic to expect D4 to abandon absolutely everything in D3. It was obvious that they were still going to carry over a decent amount of things from D3, but overall I’m also satisfied with the amount of things they chose to leave out.

27

That is insulting, truly. Lilith 1 is an abomination.

28

it definitely feels more like D3 than D2… even if they just made the economy like D2 that would have been enough. Have a rune systems that doubles as a form of currency, make trading possible and get rid of the level restriction scaling. I should be able to find a unique or build a runeword and it should entice me to try another build

No one here is running anything 5000 times (d2r) or 30000 times (ogd2) to get to 99…

Also forget spending 3 years mfing for a grail item, only to find it, and have it roll bad mods.

It’s def not the same as d2.

D4 is so far from D3 it’s barely in the same genre. It’s not even similar. What are you smoking?

Some cigarrettes that make me back my claims with reasons. You should try them.

32

Oh, it has salvaging and cooldowns…yeah it’s totally D3 bro…lol

You got me. 10/10

33

Well back to D3 then I guess for me. One has 11 + years and a new season coming, and the other has at least a year to two years before it gets good.

If they’re the same it’s smarter to chose D3

34

If I remember correctly, the list was “a bit” bigger.

35

Btw I’d argue that NM dungeons are more like M+ without the timer than GR’s. GR’s didn’t have stupid objectives, things blowing up under you every 5 seconds, weird negative affixes and a thing that follows you around the whole instance that’s obnoxious.

They know people love their lame M+ lazy system from WoW so they figured they couldn’t go wrong with something similar here.

Ooh i can do this too!

Leveling slowing way the f down at 85+? Thats d2

“Darker” theme? Thats d2

Skill tree? D2

95% of uniques are useless? D2

Odd itemization with a lot of pretty useless stats? D2

Experience decay? D2

Im at work but i could think of more if i wanted too. Point is the games are their own thing and none are completely original.

Is this an out of season April’s fools joke?

So poor that even had to repeat the same reason 2 times.

And LoL at the itemization points :joy:

Nope. Not even D3 either. You are reaching hard on your comparisons. D4 is completely different than D2 and D3. Yes it uses some elements of both, but D4 is overall different.

Nice try though.

Yeah the skill trees are hardly trees at all.

Good. I was specifically trying to insult you.

I think it is called troll weed. It grows in caves and under bridges the troglodytes enjoy it.
