I have all the above. But Grim Dawn is easily my favourite. Multiplayer in ARPGs rarely means anything other than seeing other players and a trade hub. I much prefer solo play in all games. I have a full work, social, family and sports life. I game to get away from people. Always have.

The thing that I find confusing is that D2 is the best ARPG ever made. Grim Dawn is dated. Nobody plays Grim Dawn. Grim Dawn is an upgraded version of D2. Better graphics, more stash space, better class and talent system. I loved D2 when it came out, but Grim Dawn IMO is a superior game in every way, and for the same reasons that people love D2, they hate Grim Dawn. I don't get it. Is nostalgia really that strong?

@azmalguthek4502 Ай бұрын

@@Davivd2 Yes, it is. Nostalgia is quite the beast. D2 is great, but it was much better during its time period when we didn't know as much as we do now and hadn't experienced as much as we have now. Also, Grim Dawn is my favorite ARPG of all time and that's as a lifelong D2 enthusiast. If Grim Dawn 2 comes out during my lifetime I will be able to die happy.

Titan Quest (the best of the d2 clones and right up my alley with Greek mythology setting)

@Tpike777 Ай бұрын

As a kid I grew up in a VERY rural area, where the nearest videogame store was like 2-1/2 hour away.. So I didnt get to buy computer games often. I picked up D2 one day at EB games, (Gamestop in Canada years ago) based soley on its front and back box art. I was 9 years old when I bought the game, im almost 32 now and I STILL get sucked back into a D2 phase where I might play 2-3..even 4+ hours some nights.. for months! It is EASILY the greatest ARPG ever made, and its one of my favorite games period. Id probably put it #2 behind StarCraft BW, but ive always had a hard time picking one over the other.

I'm waiting for the expansion right now with high hopes and 2 weeks of paid leave.

@azmalguthek4502 Ай бұрын

While Diablo 2 was and is a great game, and certainly the apex of ARPGs or about as close to it as you can get without getting blinded, it definitely is not as good today as it was at the time. Whether or not a game that is head and shoulders above it will ever be released is anybody's guess, and depends on whether you consider visual polish important. However with all the knowledge we have gained from the past 25 years or so, it isn't at all impossible to create something that is (today) better than diablo 2 is (today.) Whether it has the same impact in the scene or not is another story entirely. Gaming's landscape has changed significantly since that time.

I feel like Diablo IV is operating after learning the lesson from Last Epoch + Path of Exile. Which is trusting the iterative process over time, building up the game, and taking more seriously player feedback. So maybe they started with a more bareboned project in order to build the game WITH the players. That's the impression D4 gave me from the start. I think the devs had already planned to start slow, and iterate with player feedback. So I'm very optimistic that D4 will be an overwhelmingly amazing game in so many ways in due time. I don't even know in what ways it'll be amazing, but I trust the process.

Top 5: 1 - Grim Dawn 2 - D2R 3 - Last Epoch 4 - Diablo 1 5 - Dungeon Siege 2 D3 I would not list as a good game, let alone a good ARPG, honestly.

PoE being behind Diablo 2 is criminal. Nostalgia aside, PoE is a far superior game these days. I'll always love D2 for being my intro to the genre, but come on now... The only edge D2 has over PoE is simplicity, so I guess it depends on which type of player you are as to which you prefer.

100% agree, PoE surpassed D2 at some point. Dont forget, that the PoE team basically were ex-D2 devs, that were unhappy with the direction of D3 and Blizzard as a whole. D2 still deveres the second spot, its been genredefining for a long time.

You are dismissing "simplicity" as a minor factor, while its the main and big downside of PoE for a lot of players. And on top of that most of game mechanics are not even explained properly. Most of those I know, who tried PoE, butchered their build to the point of being unable to progress beyond act 5 and with no way to fix their build. And response to that complain is "just follow someone's build", which many don't consider enjoyable experience. That being said, I deeply respect GGG for standing their ground on current game design and not changing PoE to appeal those, who did not like it. The only thing it'll led is alienating current fans.

@@Torets13 I agree - regardless of what someone's individual opinion on complexity vs simplicity... being told "that's because you didn't follow a guide" when you are a FIRST TIME payer is a slap in the face. No one should be required to follow a guide in order to enjoy a game. At least it's free.

Diablo 2 has setting, a story, lore, and a mood that builds and builds until its crescendo. PoE is written by a child.

I think ARPGs really started with Legend of Zelda 1 and 2, Castlevania 2, but yeah. Diablo did "create" the subgenre for many.

@@ZoobleZi I don't think you know what an ARPG is. I'm also guessing you're too young to remember games from before 2000 or so.

@@matthuck378you're just splitting hairs. Yes, any RPG with action would he an ARPG. Which would basically be any video game RPG really. But when people talking about ARPGs, they're talking about top down looters. Because Diablo redefined what an ARPG was.

@@hoofhearted4 I just don't think Diablo was "new" or genre-creating. Japanese game companies made the ARPG first. Diablo did randomized loot first, I suppose...But that's about it.

Dungeon Siege, Diablo 1, Marvel Heroes, Torchlight, all of these are far better than Diablo 3. I can't even believe you mentioned D3. I know that a large portion of your career has been spent on D3 but dude, it was never even close to 1 or 2 and failed miserably in story, implementation, itemization, end game, and introduced pay to win into the genre for the first time. Diablo 3 only started to get better after RoS and even then it was pretty much a miss. The game literally forces you into 3 or 4 builds (at best) per class for the end game and any deviation from that is not even possible post T10. The only thing that kept the game alive was the devs constantly tweaking the meta and the tiny seasonal updates to keep people barely hanging on till D4 launched.

D3 is awesome. See, for every opinion there's a counter opinion. D2 died for me the moment D3 found its stride.

I wouldn't say it was an amazing game, but I have very fond memories of Nox. I was on dial-up at the time, and wanted to do the multiplayer/Nox Quest modes more, but my connection severely limited that.

POE is my number 1. But D2 realy got the ball going, and I have a big amount of nostalgia for this game. It was epic! Still not surpassed in the feel of the game in t he genre, especially because of the sounds and soundtrack.
