Anyone still playing Diablo II?

Chubby · 05-31-2007, 10:13 AM

I got a hankering for some D2 action today and am reinstalling D2 + LOD as we speak, I'm not looking forward to downloading the latest patch since I remember it taking friggin forever but we'll see

Just curious if anyone else still fires it up?

Bee · 05-31-2007, 10:19 AM

Titan Quest has pretty much taken care of any D2 hankering I have anymore.

BrianD · 05-31-2007, 10:38 AM

When I need a Diablo fix, I go with the original. Never really liked D2.

terpkristin · 05-31-2007, 12:02 PM

Funny you bring up D2, when I was looking for something else last night, I ran across my D2 install cd's. Of course, I'd have been much happier if I'd have found what I was actually looking for...

Have you checked in your GBA?

Both of them, not in either. Also not in my DS Lite. Nor is it in the box where I keep all my GBA games, nor is it in any case for a DS game (they have the slots to hold your GBA game). Not under the bed or under or in either nightstand.

I'm stumped on where it went, kind of annoying, actually

i just loaded it up a couple weeks ago...about half way through act 2 right now with my level 19 paladin

hoopsguy · 06-01-2007, 11:10 AM

I'll be the third person to chime in on Titan Quest as a Diablo II alternative. I've enjoyed it a great deal and have not had any real urge to play Diablo again since installing it. And I loved me some Diablo back in the day ...

Poli · 06-01-2007, 11:11 AM

Never played D2. I may have to try and find a copy.

Peregrine · 06-01-2007, 11:25 AM

If I ever feel like playing D2, I just fire up Titan Quest. Much superior game I think.

Brillig · 06-01-2007, 11:50 AM

At this point D2 is antiquated - Titan Quest is much better.

So... who's looking forward to Hellgate?

I will be once I sink a little money into my existing PC. Doesn't sound like the existing graphics card/memory combo is going to get the job done for a game like this.

saldana · 06-01-2007, 03:04 PM

what is this titan quest of which you speak?

(can you tell its been a while since i bought a pc game that wasnt a Civ or text sim)

Brillig · 06-01-2007, 03:06 PM

http://original.titanquestgame.com/

and

http://www.hellgatelondon.com

for those interested in that game.

Hellgate has some interesting features - in addition to the free online play of the Diablo model, they are also planning a MMORPG style/monthly fee 'Super'-Hellgate, where you'll play online with even more bells and whistles.

It'll be interesting to see how that goes.

Izulde · 06-01-2007, 03:17 PM

At $20, I just may pick this up

Izulde · 06-01-2007, 03:17 PM

dola,

Titan Quest I mean

Brillig · 06-01-2007, 03:20 PM

I strongly, strongly, strongly urge anyone thinking of picking up Titan Quest to get the expansion pack as well.

The expansion pack added a few things without which TQ felt mostly unplayable to me - most notably a Stash (off-character storage).

hoopsguy · 06-01-2007, 04:35 PM

I echo the thoughts on getting the expansion pack. TQ is certainly playable without it, but the extra content at the end plus the in-line features (stash being one of them, extra class, extra items, etc) make it a much stronger option.

hoopsguy · 06-01-2007, 04:35 PM

Of course, getting the expansion pack bumps the cost up to around $50 (game + expansion).

Eilim · 06-02-2007, 10:37 AM

Don't listen to hoopsguy, his damn TQ dynasty nearly sucked away my soul... in that it had me pick up the game+expansion through D2D and go many sleepless nights slaying mythical beasts and foraying into the realms of the gods.

hoopsguy · 06-02-2007, 01:07 PM

And when I start a Hellgate dynasty, it will be Brillig's fault

Since it's not due to be released until late Fall, I think you have some time to upgrade.

I will probably reinstall Diablo II, now that the ladder is going to be reset on June 25th. However, I don't see myself playing more than a week before going back to Titan Quest or one of the PS2 Champions games for that type of gaming fix.

Chubby · 06-21-2007, 09:53 PM

Laddar reset works out well with me getting back into it, not that I played much group games or traded but still.

Icy · 06-22-2007, 03:48 AM

Umm you guys talking about titan quest are making me interested as i loved the diablo games but find themm too outdated right now, will take a look at a that TQ.

TonyR · 06-23-2007, 04:26 AM

TQ is a fun game. I blame hoopsguy's dynasty. I've had fun with it. Wife started playing it too.
