That's plain wrong. Skills in Diablo 3 are very good for a variety of reasons.

That can be applied to any game with streamlined builds. Diablo 2 is not an exception.

Skyrim

> Stats no worse than Diablo 2
The fuck is wrong with you. Diablo 3 hardly even has stats. It's practically an action game.
> Skills are good for a variety of reasons
Name them. The skills are all run of the mill, with shit build veriety, and garbage progression.
>This can be applied to any game with streamlined builds
That's the fucking problem. Diablo 2 wasn't completely streamlined builds like D3's oversimplified garbage. It caters to retards who can't think for themselves.
>D3 totally isn't a mash x to win game
... Dude. What game were you playing.

How can one post be so unapologeticly fanboy and defensive beyond reason. I get it, you like how Blizzards dick tastes. I bought D3 as well, and have probably put over 200 hours into it, but any Diablo fan will tell you it's shit by Diablo standards.

Skyrim was better than Oblivion in just about every way.

Animal Crossing Wild World

Not lying, but that's because Oblivion was fucking trash. *Crack* *sssiiiiipppp* Now Morrowind. That was a good game.

It's even worse when you realize almost all of that is done with one button.

I prefer WATER since it is unlike those two pieces of shits you posted

Remember when The Sims 3 had like 90 expansions and EA was all like "Let's do that for The Sims 4" and released a worse base game than 3?

Diablo 3 is just a shit sequel. Diablo 2 is not just a shit sequel, but a game that ruined the entire genre with its piss poor braindead design, that can still be felt in ARPGs today. So it will forever remain a far worse game.
It's ironic how Blizzard with just 3 games (Diablo 2, WoW and Starcraft) managed to completely pollute and forever dumb down three entire genres worth of potentially good games.

Water > WATER

>The fuck is wrong with you
I actually played both games.
>Diablo 3 hardly even has stats
Same as Diablo 2. Diablo 2 stat "choices" are pretty much non-existent as "Strength for gear, Dexterity for max block if any, Vitality all that remains, Energy nothing".
>The skills are all run of the mill, with shit build veriety, and garbage progression.
You are spitting meaningless buzzwords.
Diablo 3 has a clear separation in skill roles and those skills offer far more variety to the core gameplay loop. In the usual definition, Diablo 2 skills are far more "run of the mill" compared to Diablo 3.
Build variety in Diablo 3 is about as bad as build variety in Diablo 2. In the former, builds are dictated by the set (so basically five/six builds per class) with minor variations provided by the secondary gear which makes them more streamlined compared to Diablo 2 but have more distinct playstyle differences. That's not that different compared to Diablo 2 in terms of quantity, especially if you exclude dedicated PvP builds, and it exceeds it in terms of quality.
And progression in Diablo 3 is very well-balanced and streamlined. It's actually Diablo 2 that has garbage progression. The base game didn't even include a respec option despite providing the player with a variety of ways to permanently gimp their character (putting stat points in Energy or wasting skill points on garbage skills or one-point wonders). The option was provided at a later patch but it's fairly restrictive. and then again - respec is a bandaid for a garbage progression system. The game essentially expects you to know it before you start playing. Of course, that shitty issue (as well as retarded inventory restrictions) was fixed by PlugY and the likes but that's not exactly game's achievement.
>What game were you playing
All of the relevant? Diablo 3 objectively has more variety in its gameplay loop. It's easier to "mash" through Diablo 2 than through Diablo 3.

>objectively

Smash Bros. Brawl probably has the most watered down gameplay of any sequel, or at least it's super high up there.
The content was pretty fucking amazing, though.

>The gameplay was watered dow-

Left has more soul right tries too hard.

Well, that because it factually has.
Diablo 2 is intended to be played while actively using two skills, sometimes switching them depending on the situation.
The skill switching mechanics is entirely optional and is not required to beat the game on any difficulty.
Diablo 3 is intended to be played while actively using six skills all of which have different purposes.

I don't remember other isometric action RPGs though, PC ones were either first person action or that clunky real time party based one that Grimrock paid homage to.
So I don't think Blizzard ruined anything unless you think setting is everything, that's the only way you can think D1 is a deeper or better game than D2.

Destiny 2 Year 1

I will be honest I played only a couple levels long time ago. Based of mt experience and reviews, the game strike to me as somewhat mediocre shooter. But the problem is it's not a stand-alone game, but a sequel to a series with very specific unique gameplay, who throws away said gameplay for much more generic and popular action shooter vibe. It's no wonder fans of the series hate this game. Especial since it killed the series.
On personal note. I hate how they cut the playable characters to only three. And they look nothing like the commandos from the previous games.

modern xp share is party-wide, so you can have 5 mons that never see combat and still keep up with the lead.

You are objectively correct

Looks pretty simple to me. I haven't played the first though so I don't know.

And?

Does it divide the xp? Will I be seeing more xp gain if I just have the one mon in my party?

Post more Rockshot webms.

No, whoever was in battle gets 100% exp, everyone else gets 50%. In other words if a kill is worth 1000 exp, the lead gets 1000 and the rest get 500 each.

Yeah, that was rather a no-brainer. As for is this game worth playing without the context of the series, ehh, I don't know. Like I said the scores were mostly averages, it didn't pull me in, but at least they tried to do something different with stealthy spy missions.
Another thing that bother me. Some missions give you more than one playable character. You can switch between time at any time. The unselected character will just stand still without AI, not doing anything or moving a inch. Just like in the previous games, but the problem is that while such thing was fine in a stealthy tactical isometric game, it just doesn't fit well in a action shooter and just let you open for some random german to shoot your mindless companion.

Fallout 4 is the one a remember the most right now. What a piece of shit game, damn.

50% for mons that don't participate, but full EV gain

I love how sr4 tries to reward you with discounts on car customization as a late game reward, after you've already gotten super speed and flight and god knows what other superpowers so it''s fucking useless

One of the biggest issues with ME2 is that instead of improving on flawed aspects of ME1 it just outright removed or streamlined them.
Driving the mako on planets was boring because most planets were completely empty. They could have worked towards making the planets less boring, but nah. Just remove that shit and replace it with an equally boring but quicker resource scanner simulator.
Inventory was a bitch to manage? Remove it and streamline all weapons/ammo.
Weapon accuracy was fucked up in ME1 if you didn't spend talent points into the specific weapon type. That wasn't good so just remove it and make it identical to every other shooter.
