diablo 2

[Evadek]

They're incredibly similar (most likely because they're made by the same people).

 

 

 

They both have:

 

 

 

Set Items

 

Similar Classes with similar roles

 

Talent trees (Diablo has skill trees)

 

They both have the same types of armour (helmets, boots, gloves, belts etc)

 

items rarity is based on the colour of the text

 

Both games have the same systems for obtaining rare items (MF runs on Diablo, instances on WoW)

 

 

 

Ofcourse they have their differences but it's undeniable that the game mechanics are quite similar

Except for, oh I don't know, the fact that one can have 8 on at once and one has thousands?

 

 

 

 

 

fyi I hate WoW (so i'm not praising it or anything), just telling you that they are different.

 

 

 

 

 

I used to play diablo 2 a while back.

[reddawn509]

Heh, you act like WoW is the only MMO out there :/...

 

 

 

There's been plenty of games before it with monthly fees.

 

 

 

ps: Diablo II only gives 1 account too.. lol. Why would a game give more than 1, especialy if it can be played online.

 

 

 

pps: max gold is incredibly easy in Diablo II, nothing to talk about :D.

[glasscube]

IMO, Oblivion > WoW > Diablo 2 . :-w

awww she told me it was hard :cry: :^o ......eh oh well.....

Oblivion is terrible, i don't understand how Bethseda could have gone wrong after Morrowind but there's alot bad about oblivion. The level scaling is terrible on it making the game impossible to complete for some people. The fact that at high levels, every single bandit wears for Daedric armour defeats the purpose of high level armour as well as the fact that your level decides what armour players wear.

 

 

 

Morrowind was a brilliant game, they somehow made Oblivion rubbish though. I understand there are mods that fix this problem but I loved the exploration Morrowind provided where if you managed to survive an incredibly difficult dungeon, glass armour may have awaited you at the end. Oblivion doesn't have that however.

 

 

 

Apart from graphics, Oblivion is rubbish, i was so disapointed with it.

 

 

 

oh yeah, and it's nothing like WoW or DII

[Nadril]

Even the graphics disapointed me. No, not how they looked, how they ran.

 

 

 

IMO bethseda could have done better optimizing them. Even on a good rig it's almost impossible to get a good steady framerate.

I completely agree: the way that everything was scaled to your level is terrible. Part of what made Morrowind fun for me was the chance that I might find something very powerful after doing something very dangerous. I don't know how they've worked all these Daedric-clad bandits into the storyline... perhaps they're having to tool up because of the Oblivion gates... all the same, there shouldn't be that much of it about!

 

 

 

Another good thing, I thought, about Morrowind was the unrealistic way you could find items lying about, for instance in tree stumps*, if you looked hard enough. I suppose it was annoying that one remembered where they all were, but maybe they could have kept that aspect and randomized it somewhat.

 

 

 

All in all, though, I found Morrowing just as frustrating, but in different ways. The way nothing seemed to physically affect the world (the lack of physics) annoyed me, for a start.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Diablo 2 I like. I almost never manage to complete it, because I get bored in the Jungle place. Perhaps over this Summer I'll try again and manage to get through that bit. The item generation on that is fantastic.

 

 

 

WoW is fun... but I get bored of MMORPGS too fast. I feel like playing WoW right now, but my account has run out, and I don't think it'd be worth it. Maybe when this expansion set comes out... Maybe.

 

 

 

*not the one in the starting village -- elsewhere.

[Random]

diablo and diablo 2 is nice the first time you go through it the first time with each of the different classes after that it get incredibly old incredibly fast, the only entertaining thing to do after that is to kill other players online...

 

 

 

 

 

In D2, I found Duriel in the deserts around Lut Gholein more difficult than any of the prime evils, infact Mephisto was pretty much a joke after you take care of the monsters surrounding him.

well... i kinda play d 2 lod but i kinda stopped last week due to lvling up in rs \

with 1 cd, 1 acct at 1 time on, but , 8 chars, while WoW has only 1 char that u can make

[Pete_the_Viscous]

Perhaps I missunderstand you, but it sounds like you're suggesting that you can only have one character on WoW per account, which is wrong: you can have a large number of characters per account. I've not found a limit myself, though there may be one. Anyone?
