Diablo III - A Documentary on the worst but fastest selling follow up to D2

Sharing a very well put together doc on one of the leading titles of the franchise.

Amazingly voice work, archival footage, interviews and things that i didn't even know about.

Had to binge watch it though..it's like half a season of a netflix series

But..but..even D3 isn't the worst follow-up anymore!

You mean when we're playing D2:R:R(VR) cuz D5, 6, 7 and 8 also sucked?

I didn't follow D3 at the time and have barely played it, when I did eventually try, it felt shallow. Great video, really enjoyed learning more about it. Maybe the D4 devs should have watched this in advance.

I skipped D3 for a good two years before buying and I'm still slapping myself for purchasing D4. I will in time have to give D4 a second go but so far I stopped playing at about level 18.

I actually tend to like D4. Not as a D2 successor, but more as an independant game. There are some nice stuff for optimization like Paragon boards and glyphs, the campaign is not bad even if super linear, tons of side quests exist...

The end game is certainly a bit repetitive though, and I'll probably drop it when I reach lvl 99 + all glyphs at 15+, but I had fun with my buddies every Monday night from september.

Not very likely though that I want to make a new char then.

But I still play d2 and will certainly continue after the d4 period is over.

D3 and D4 were fun for a time, but that's about it. They do not even hold a candle to D2 and especially D2R, because of the fantastic itemization and end game that D2 offers. People make fun of the end game of D2 simply being

Baal, Cows and Chaos runs, but you can do so much more if you want. I can play D2 literally forever, and it's still fun 20 years after it was released. That's the mark of a great game.
