Help me see ARPGs in a new light, Yea Forums

I've played Diablo, Diablo II, Diablo III, Torchlight, Untold Legends, Path of Exile, Dungeon Siege: Throne of Agony, and most recently, I'm revisiting pic related.

Most of these games I haven't beaten, and have either emulated or purchased at very deep discounts over the years.

I simply cannot get into them. Tell me how you enjoy them so I can get a broader perspective.

Diablo 2:
>Low Quality of Life for blitzing through dungeons is low for items with low drop rates, with random floors wasting your time without providing any enjoyable combat.
>>Click-Click-Click-Click-Click-Click-Click
>MP runes require mods to place in single-player
>You have one chance for a respec per playthrough without mods, for a maximum total of 3
>Most powerful loot literally has a .00315 chance to drop without augmenting your Magic Find
>Boomers I would service in a computer repair shop would reminisce about sleepless nights grinding shit like Windforce and some mask
>Players X command is pretty legit, at least.
All ARPGs:
>Fucking. Immunities.
>Low as fuck drop rates and mind numbing combat outside of aforementioned annoyances acting as fucking meat sponges.
>Control scheme consists of clicking, the shift key, and number keys. Very little is determined by reflex, and high-level play revolves around managing blobs of enemies and slowly whittling them down while hastening liver failure by downing 500L of red potions.

What am I missing? Am I doomed to never enjoy this style of gameplay?

It's boring, brainless monotony where you lmb things for hours until your finger starts hurting. There's nothing redeeming about the genre. It was a product of its time and it has been replaced ever since its debut.

This has been my impression as well. They're literally RTS games with their immediacy replaced by MMO pacing.

I'm still interested in more feedback.

this is the game you need, OP

Decent game solo. One of the best games in coop ever. More games like this? I don't think I will ever find them

Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance and Champions of Norrath don't have the problems you describe.

>What am I missing? Am I doomed to never enjoy this style of gameplay?

You're not missing anything OP. It's an awful genre that appeals only to autists.

By having a penis that's roughly seven inches long while flaccid.

I'm really liking the aesthetic, at least. It's Westwood, too, which helps.
