Oh no, this free mod for a game we own no rights to is infringing our rights, we must attack the person who made it and remove it from the interwebs!

Is it April 1st?

@Baconstrip78: Can't tell if troll.

I've put hundreds of hours into Diablo 3. It is trash outside of its combat. There is no depth, no complexity. It's gotten even worse (dumbed down) with the revamped loot in 2.0 and the extreme reliance on sets to even be competitive. Unique items aren't unique, they just have a special effect attached to their random rolls.

I still have Diablo 2 installed, I still have active characters, and I still play it through all over again once every few years. It is timeless, and still so much better than Diablo 3.

Conversely, Path of Exile, which I consider Diablo 2.5, is also far better than Diablo 3, and even Diablo 2 in terms of depth, complexity and content.

Diablo 3 wins in combat feel and ease of playability out of any ARPG I've played. That is the sole reason I've even played it after reaching cap. It falls on its face in every other aspect.

Tempted to buy it, but honestly the SC2 vibe wore off me years ago, so I'd rather just wait for a good discount..

@asmoddeuss: I've played D2 for 7 years.

D3 is garbage outside of its combat.

@Ryusui: Don't forget 21:9 and wider (multi-monitor)! I've been on a 21:9 display for the last year; still new games fail to support the resolution, it's mind bogglingly disappointing.

@toophat2014: Future proofing, I mean.

I have a 21:9 monitor right now; don't give a damn about 4K on PC unless it's downsampled to a resolution that actually lets text not require eagle vision.

Are those console screens?

Looks like low-res upscaled images with a Vaseline form of AA applied ontop.

Sure hope the PC version doesn't look like that; it's atrocious.

Oh, and the lack of hardware AA is going to be a huge IQ issue now. Goodbye old friend.

@whatsazerg: The only thing better about Diablo 3 is the brutal feeling of the combat and ease of playability (..and running at modern resolutions).

Nothing else holds a candle to Diablo 2 or Diablo 2.5 (Path of Exile). You're out of your mind if you think otherwise.
