Diablo

We're remaking all the things it seems.

Diablo 2 resurrected

This was the only Diablo where I really got into the loot farming. I loved the Assassin and Necromancer.

It is absolutely massive for a Diablo game. I did half of what was available to do in Act 1 and was still level 30 when I finally got a move on to Act 2 with a promise to "come back for everything later". Much bigger than previous Diablo games. I think there were 23 dungeons in Act 1 you could do, not counting cellars and things you can dive into.

It is incredibly dark, reminds me more of Diablo 1. Some people will like it, some people won't. I've honestly been enjoying myself more than I did in either 3 or 2. It definitely feels like a return to form. I feel like half the reason I like this Diablo more than others is they got rid of the idea that the overworld had to be procedurally generated, which for me makes exploration a bit more chill. I can plan my routes, they can put interesting things in the world, you can see events, you can see other people around, there's quests, I dunno it feels really nice. The 120+ dungeons are procedurally generated though.

The thing everyone is waiting to do before they can go totally crazy is take a look at the endgame, take a look at what seasons are like, and take a look to see if the Battlepass will truly be cosmetic only. It will be about a month before those questions are answered. If people like casually grinding, casually checking things off your checklist, you'll get 100 hours easily out of the game without even touching the endgame content.

I have just finished Act 3 with the early access. I would agree with the assessment that it is more like Diablo 2 with some sprinkling of Diablo 3. I haven't done much of the side quests yet for I wanted to get access to the horse before walking everywhere all the time to pickup everything. My biggest complaint is that the bosses feel spongy with all the health they have and I feel stuck. Normal enemies are too easy, but I don't want to feel like I spent 20 min fighting bosses. A quibble I have is that Sorcerers can't have a wand/relic and a staff equipped so both setups can be easily updated with new gear. The other complaint I am seeing and it hasn't been a problem for me is some people are saying the inventory is too small, but I haven't experienced that I just make sure I empty my bags before setting off.

So it looks like it is worth a try. Can I play single player and just do my own thing? 

Saw the ultra-greedy cosmetics shop. 20+ bucks for a single outfit? Not a dime from me, Kotickvision-Blizzard.

Just started playing and its a lot of fun! Tried a sorcerer briefly and then a rogue. I think I prefer the rogue and am focusing more on bows than knives at this point. Any advice about the best skills to inves in would be appreciated!

I started playing the game with my brother on the launch day. We used to play Diablo 2 a lot back in the day, so this is a sort of nostalgia trip for us. The gameplay feels good, I'm playing a stabby-stabby rogue wich is fun. We've played about six hours so far, we've only gotten to the two first towns as we have cleared out most of the dungeons we've run into. We started on the second difficulty tier and it's been challenging enough, not too many deaths so far, but enough to know not to rush too far ahead from each other.
I like how they got rid of mana/health bottle hoarding as well as the inventory tetris. I am somewhat annoyed about not being able to run a private game, no offense but I do not like other people that much
I really liked how the game started, a little change from the usual Diablo.
Lilith seems like an awesome character

Do dungeons level up with you or can you go in overpowered for easy experience and loot

They scale to your level, but I have grouped with a friend that was a lower level and group lead and the dungeon was a level lower than me.  Strongholds will always be +2 levels as well.

Looking forward to diving down this rabbit hole once I get my pc back from repair. Glad to hear it's running well and lots of fun to be had.

Just finished the story today and I am happy to say - without spoilers - that they did save some spectacle for the end. I am very happy with how the conclusion to it turned out.

I am level 54 now, probably spent a bit too much time during the story doing side stuff. But the good news is that I was already entirely overpowered for the capstone dungeon and could unlock and start in Nighmare mode with ease. Now the item hunt can truely begin.
