valdaintheking: So diablo 1 sucks
Diablo 2 sucks
Diablo 3 likely sucks. The whole fucking series is one gigantic tom cruise abortion.
This is definitely the most hilarious thing I've read today!
Like the devil himself has taken hold of you or something... but it is true that these games can be frustrating. It's aggravating when one dies in a game that is almost offensively simplistic in nature but somehow there's little farts running around that can 1 hit kill you, and those annoying sarcophagi that have a bad case of mummy diarrhea and so on.
I'm a calm person in real life but those porcupines in D2 hell mode... that's just insulting. I don't want to be killed by random rodents minutes after bravely and easily smiting down Nightmare Diablo. Blizzard probably does this stuff on purpose, the most puny monsters cause the biggest trouble, Diablo himself didn't really bother me much in D1 or D2 but the seemingly random overpowered sh*ts that get you when you don't expect it, they could make the Dalai Lama go nuts. Finished Act 5 on hell with one of my characters just yesterday and even at level 86, I have to run away from those porcupines when there's too many.
In D2, there's nothing that can be done about it except for doing MF boss runs over and over until some usable items drop, seems to be the whole point of the game: the fruity loot loop. Diablo is basically Pachinko with an RPG interface.
It's possible to finish those games with mediocre gear but you'll automatically find yourself grinding for better gear. If I had only cleared all areas exactly one time, I'm not sure if I could have made it all the way through, not with certain builds anyway.
