Too late for Diablo 2 given the fact that I can find it?

As topic reads...

PLEASE! BE OBJECTIVE WITH YOUR ANSWER,

I never got to play this nor the first, +, now I'm not actually that happy about the old graphics and if gameplay does not justify them,I'mnot playing itXD

Also another question... How does it fair to today's standards gameplay wise?

Thanks

Are you saying you don't care for graphics as long as the gameplay is good? then you are in luck. You should play the game. I think you are going to enjoy it.

Last time I checked there was a mass banning on all the bnet servers so the multiplayer should at least be a bit more balanced now :P

Diablo 2 is still (arguably) the best game in it's genre.

Which would you rather experience: great gameplay with mediocre graphics, or great graphics with mediocre gameplay?

I've never played any of the Diablos, but I did hear they were amazingly good games to play, so, why not go for it?

They don't ban without a reason. You or somebody that played your game, did something that was against the rules. Yes, it's a great game, if you can stand the outdated graphics and the multiplayer is awesome, there are some mods for sp/mp that add some spells or minor things, it does not have custom maps because it isn't an rts and it isn't module based like NWN, it's just the singleplayer game with more "human" players.

I am also a player who doesn't care abbout graphics , and loves RPG and action games. For that reason this game is perfect for me, if you too like action RPG gameplay then pick it up now :) its so cheap now its basically a steal lol

Great game...but the game play is pretty dated. I haven't played it in a year or so because I have found more up to date games in the same genre that are more fun. But it's definitely still worth playing, and there's even a patch due to come out very soon. Who knows what's in it...but personally I am hoping that aside from some content updates, they also update the game a bit like widescreen support, higher resolutions, and things like that.

Widescreen and higher resolutions would definitely make me play it again. My 24" widescreen that I normally game at 1920x1200 looks REALLY awful at fullscreen in 800x600 lol

There is a resolution mod, but it just zooms out.

There's a trick you can do too, at the end of the execution line on the shortcut add a "-w" and it runs in windowed mode.

I found a player made hack to allow higher screen resolutions and widescreen. There's a few issues with it, for me the game crashes the second time I load a character in. However it's fast enough to restart the game that it actually dosent bother me. It makes the game a lot more playable on modern monitors.

the only thing i can think of that could be against the rule which ive done is buying items from the internet

I got it and just couldn't get into it (I was playing a Sorceress) so I'm gonna get around to replaying it as a Beserker sometime.
