If it's anything like Diablo II, you don't need anything to get into it. Fanatic-Templar Send a noteboard - 05/05/2012 07:31:19 AM
It's extremely straightforward - you customise an archetype character and then kill everything you see picking up loot on the way. This game probably follows the events of Diablo II: Throne of Bhaal, but frankly story has nothing to do with this game at all.

I might be making the game sound like it's terrible, probably because I think it is, but lots of people have loved playing it for years, it's obviously got something going for it, and I wish I knew what, because that'd simplify whether you should seek out this game or avoid it.

I'd recommend finding someone who can lend you their CD of Diablo II. Can't be that hard to find, given the game's popularity. Or just try out the Diablo III beta, if it's still available. It was free and unlimited as of last week, I heard.

So, diablo 3... jh - 01/05/2012 12:27:32 PM 1259 Views
I don't have a computer that can run it. j-whitt987 - 01/05/2012 01:55:38 PM 1102 Views
i didn't get my invite until just recently LadyLorraine - 01/05/2012 03:44:56 PM 1144 Views
I did the beta weekend. It's okay. Not something I'd pay $50 for. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 01/05/2012 08:50:44 PM 749 Views
My reaction as well. *NM* Macharius - 04/05/2012 07:04:02 PM 521 Views
You mean Torchlight II + $30? *NM* Ghavrel - 02/05/2012 03:41:57 AM 521 Views
It felt like Diablo 2 with a less compelling art style. lord-of-shadow - 02/05/2012 07:33:55 PM 987 Views
If I had a computer that could run it, I'd definitely buy it. As it is... maybe eventually. Legolas - 02/05/2012 08:27:03 PM 1019 Views
Goddamn, we're a cynical bunch. Good luck having any fun on this forum! *NM* lord-of-shadow - 05/05/2012 04:28:58 AM 546 Views
No, we're just rational. If you like dungeon crawlers, get Torchlight 2 and save money. *NM* Ghavrel - 07/05/2012 11:09:38 AM 530 Views
I don't know about Torchlight 2 (or Diablo III), but... Legolas - 07/05/2012 10:23:08 PM 1065 Views
I would agree with that. Nate - 08/05/2012 01:44:04 AM 1044 Views
So what's this serious like/about anyway? A Deathwatch Guard - 05/05/2012 05:30:42 AM 974 Views

It's what they call a combat rpg - there's not much role-playing to it, admittedly. Legolas - 05/05/2012 05:27:39 PM 1035 Views
Character building is completely differnt from Diablo 2. It should be much harder to screw yourself. lord-of-shadow - 05/05/2012 07:47:30 PM 946 Views
Aww. They keep dumbing things down for us. How sweet. jh - 05/05/2012 09:49:52 PM 973 Views
I agee with the principle, just not the saving thing A Deathwatch Guard - 05/05/2012 10:55:13 PM 975 Views
Well... jh - 06/05/2012 06:06:25 PM 1045 Views
As to that... Legolas - 06/05/2012 11:10:28 PM 979 Views
Heh heh . Fanatic-Templar - 07/05/2012 04:47:54 AM 982 Views
You got as far as Diablo? On a computer that had lag? Legolas - 07/05/2012 10:20:58 PM 1031 Views
I'm sorry, that was inaccurate. Fanatic-Templar - 08/05/2012 04:06:17 AM 1064 Views
The diablo animations were laggy on just about any computer. jh - 08/05/2012 06:27:48 AM 1025 Views
You remind me of a Brood War player. *NM* Fanatic-Templar - 06/05/2012 06:50:35 PM 492 Views
Hm. I actually don't mind an overhaul of the levelling. beetnemesis - 07/05/2012 03:02:20 PM 1000 Views
Cool, thank you, A Deathwatch Guard - 05/05/2012 10:57:18 PM 912 Views
