Diablo 2: A Relapse

(1/11) > >>

ScrambledGregs:
So a few nights ago I was talking to a friend, and then another friend, and long story short...I went out and bought the Diablo Battlechest since it was on sail at Circuit City for $27.99 and I'm fully addicted to Diablo 2 again.

Is it just me, or is Diablo 2 one of the best games of the past 10 years?? The one friend I was talking to was saying how he doesn't follow videogames that much anymore, and doesn't feel there are as many great games that you keep coming back to over the years and playing over and over. 1UP's Retronauts podcast devoted an episode to the Diablo series recently, so I said to him "well, what about Diablo?? It came out in 2000, but it's relatively new." His response was that it's a fantastic game, but it's no fun to play online anymore because the game has become the playground of assholes. I suggested that he and I play online together in password protected games, and here I am. At the same time the other friend I know from work is the epitome of a casual gamer, but yet he has Diablo 2 and apparently never experience the joy of playing online.

Now that all that boring stuff is out of the way, let's talk shop. I don't consider myself a hardcore Diablo fan in the "I must beat the game on Hell and get the ultimate items and do so for every character!!" but I have spent far too much time in the past (and in the past 12 hours) playing the game. There's just something that makes me obsessive with games that are pick up and playable and yet have depth to them like Diablo. It's far too much fun to think of character builds and party combinations and so on. For what it's worth, they recently released a patch for the game and now creating a Necromancer skeleton based summon build is viable.

SomeOtherGuy:
Diablo 2 is like crack covered in bacon fried sauteed in the tears of angles.  everytime i see it at the store i almost get it but don't because i know it will take over my life for the next six months.  but ahh i do miss making trapassins, swordbarbs, and various other chars.

Johnny C:
I was playing this system the other day, it was called the "Playstation 2." It was really fun! You should give it a shot.

Xamira:
Please dont mention that name, Ive tried to block that part of my life out :(

thepugs:
I still play occasionally on USEast.
I've got an 80something javazon, and a 60something barb and 60something hammerdin.
Maybe over the summer I'll pick it up a little more, but as it is exams are a monster.

If you feel like adding me as a friend my acc is "thepugs".
