Diablo 2 LOD waste of time after Diablo2

1 Rating: 1, Useful: 3 / 8

Diablo 2 is the best game when you start it up and the story is good up till about 1/2 way through the 1ST Act. It declines in quality very rapdily beyond the start of the 1ST because everything is the exact same old routine, just different wallpaper and different moving graphics to click on . .

With Diablo 2 LOD you still can NOT interact with the environment in ANY way -> the code for barricades would use a monster FLAG such as this: Can Not Move or Damage Player = 1 (ie the barricade = a non-moving, non-damaging monster).

Programming for monster artificial intelligence is still, basically ...: Monster Attacks Player Mindlessly = 1, or: Monster Uses Ranged Attack on Player Mindlessly = 1.

To sum up Diablo 2 LOD offers nothing new. The end guy in Diablo 2 LOD is FAR EASIER to kill than in Diablo 2 and as a result the ending is an anti-climax. The map sequence for LOD is pretty much an L shape rotated 90 degrees to the right. That's it. An L turned 90 degrees clockwise. I can do that in MS paint!

No puzzles, no traps (buckets that explode for no reason are NOT traps), no drama (medium-res pictures of the protagonists and the story, for example as a minimum), no mystery etc. Tonnes of useless items lugged around by creatures with Bags of Holding (seriously, how can a rabbit-sized leprechaun carry a Tower Shield or Plate Mail!!! (:O

The best items of course are so rare that you lose interest in the game WAY before you can appreciate 2 or 3 of them.

This all makes me highly suspicious of Warcraft 3 now, and I think the only major difference between it and Starcraft is just different graphics and stats for units. The trailer is very cool however, ALTHOUGH it is a MAJOR SHAMEFUL rip off of the Final Fantasy The Spirits Within dream sequences. You'll see --> just download it. VERY shameful because it cheapens the PC game and film animation industry AND undermines their own work, that can be very good, because it reveals that they have no concsience about capitalising on other people's originality and creativity. Diablo 1 was very ground-breaking, but somehow Diablo 2 and LOD [disappoint] after a very short time. Games companies must stay innovative to cultivate respect these days.

I think the Diablo II Expanion killed diablo, all anyone does is have a friend or pay someone else to rush them(beat all the bosses for them) then lvl up doing the not so secret, secret cow lvl. Very, very few people actually take the time to play through the entire game.

Thanks

if it was an option given i would have given this game zero stars! This was the stupidest game ever made! Maybe it was better back then, but now its just stupid.The graphics stink, and If your a Christian, let me tell u this is a very insulting game. I suggest it only if u have a comp that came from 1995. I bet no one does. So all u plz don't buy this. if u want a good game, get dungeon siege:Legends of Aranna(releases November 11, 2003), Dungeon Siege 2(sometime in May 2005), or Never Winter Nights, Shadows of Undrentide(already out). If u plan On getting Shadows of Undrentide, get Never Winter Nights first. Undrentide is an expansion pack and wont work without Never Winter Nights.

Whatever you do, don't get Diablo 2 or its expansion. It's not much now to anyone and it's crap. Just don't buy it. no one's even online for it. Well, not many people, that is. If u guys get Dungeon Siege: Legends of Aranna or Dungeon Siege 2 I'll see u online. I have Never Winter Nights but not the expansion. I don't plan on getting it either. but their coming out with A second Never Winter Nights and I'll probably get that. Dungeon Siege: Legends of Aranna is also an expansion for Dungeon Siege 1 but I read about it online and Dungeon Siege 1 will come with the expansion when u buy it according to its official website.

And one more thing: Dungeon Siege is the best game ever and Dungeon Siege 2 will be even better! My username will probably be dungeonsieger34. Plz get one of them. I'm Definatly getting Dungeon Siege 2 unles its rated Mature. My mother won't let me get it then. :( But I saw an ad for it and it looks sot of like Lord of the Rings which was rated Teen. So was Dungeon Siege 1 And Legends of Aranna. so I'll definatly get it if its rated Teen. I can't wait to meet all of you reading this! (ok that was corny)

DIABLO 2 STINKS!!!!!!!

Blizz has fallen

The best game ever: StarCraft. No one could have asked for better. Then Brood War came out as an expansion, and Blizz couldn't get better.

They didn't.

Diablo II, for most people, is fun for the first week. It seems awesome to them, because now you get to go further than the twenty-two-billion-thousanth level of the castle dungeons. But in reality, Diablo II is nothing more than clicking.

You beat Baal for first time. You feel you want to make a Hardcore character. Is that right? (hint - Blizz Tech Support: First come, first serve) WRONG! I stopped playing all Blizzard games because of hardcore. If you want to play this game, you had to have been there when it came out. Otherwise, you stand no chance to have any fun. Blizzard has no control over what ******** on the other side of the world can do. Hardcore, enter a game, join the party, step into the tp: 2 seconds later, your deeds will be remembered, but u were pked by an assasin. Yippee!

And after Diablo II, came WarCraft 3, which did not have the magic of StarCraft either. And no need to even talk about Blizz's GBA games and StarCraft Ghost. I'm sorry, Blizzard, but I'm not sticking with you anymore. Not even for StarCraft. In the future, I'll stick with safe games far away from Battle.net, which every day is containing more and more filth from h*ll.

A horrible addon, for a not so good game in the first place.

How to lose your children...

My son was given this game as a present and though he is only 12 we didn't expect it to have any more effect on him than the usual Nintendo, Playstation, PC games he has played before.

Nothing could have been further from the truth. He lost interest in everything: friends, family, sports, and school. It became obvious to us that he was not mature enough for this game and certainly his mother and I shoulder the blame for misjudging his ability to separate fantasy and reality.

After several months of screaming tantrums, anger and problems at school we allow him to play an hour a day. This is after one episode of uninstalling the game completely to get the point across.

I cannot stress enough that this game is NOT for children under about the age of 15. You will certainly have to judge for yourself. I'm sure there are 30 year olds who shouldn't be playing this game. I now know what computer gaming addiction is all about and I hope you never have to find out the way we did.

Please think twice before you purchase this game.

Oh, and you'll lose a phone line forever!

Beware...

Totally ruined the whole game...

I loved Diablo 2 classic, but I wished I never bought this, it totally ruined it for me. After seeing all the cool items for LOD, I had to have it. Come on, the Windforce at 500 damage, who couldn't resist it? Well, after playing this game for half a year, I'm done with it. The price, at $30, for just an expansion is WAY too pricey. And what expansion? Two "new" characters and ONE extra act. The druid and assassin are just another version of the necromancer and the amazon. When you play this, be warned, you'll encounter a lot of hackers online. They'll steal your accounts and whatnot. No, it hasn't happened to me, but it has happened to several people I know. Talking about hacking, there's a lot of "duped" items might I add. And LOD takes the fun away from the game because now, you'll see "newbs" at lvl 80+! I mean, I can make a character and have him at lvl 99 in 2 days! And it looks like everyone bought items from ebay, because more then half of the amazon's in LOD have the windforce. In classic diablo 2, everything was more balanced out, people had a chance, but with LOD, if you're not a sorceress or an amazon, you're out of luck. You won't stand a chance. There's no variety in this game once you get LOD. I suggest you save your money for a new game. Unless you desperately want to see idiots run around with items they bought from ebay, people hacking others for items (pathetic), the same game with literally nothing new and wasting money, then go ahead and get it, otherwise, look somewhere else.

Great Game made it one star so people will see

I personally think these reviews are worthless I mean how can u know if ur going to like a game or not by looking at other peoples writing i would rent it or play at a friend's house, but if u want a review here it is. I got this game as a gift from my mom and dad. There are 7 great character classes, Amazon, Necromancer, Sorceress, Paladin, Barbarian, Assassian, and the Druid. They each have unique skills, each character has 3 different skill types, most have some no other characters have, but i think the necromancer and druid have the same type of skills but like summoning but have very different spells like the druids elemantal is different than the necromancers poison and bone. and they also summon different creatures the necromancer summons skeletons,skeleton mages, golems,Fire, iron, blood, and clay golems to be precise. So if u read all those 1 star reviews that say the necromancer and druid are the same, are wrong. I personnaly think the game has a great story line if u take the time to listen to vilagers, the new act really finishs the story line. And it's not just one more act there are more monsters and the quests are great. And u can play the game a long time if u want to, and see what all the charecaters are like by beating the game with another character and the game is long because of all three modes, Normal, Nightmare, and Hell mode. A really good quality is u can customize ur characters stats and skills.I could give a bunch of tips of how to sort your stats and skills, but that would take too long but, ill tell u one thing be patient.Now for multiPlayer to start off this is the best multi player computer game ive ever played. And u can't "hack" other peoples characters it's not really hacking it's editting i dont know why they call it hacking. the only way that u get ur character deleted is if ur stupid enough to tell them ur password and account name. And the multi player is also great because u can get and item uve been looking for for a long time by trading stuff. And the fact that u can go questing with other player as a party is great! and it's also fun to duel people, its a fir system because u dont have to duel and u can only duel if ur past lvl 9 so all those lvl 1-8 lvl playes dont have to be worried. I think that the graphics are so-so buti can't really find that many glitches with the game, but this is computer were talking about not PS2 or GC or Xbox. If they make a Diablo 3 im sure they will fix the graphics so they're the best they can get. I think if u edit a characteru should do a lot of duelin on Battle.Net, because the 1 player get to easy when u edit. but ive found the single player is great if u donr edit, sure its a little hard starting out, but what game is fun if u can beat the game in 1 hour?
I admit the game is a little slow but almost all games ar if they're this big, i mean u can play on B.Net and sigle player with a game so long what can u expect? for it to load in 3 seconds?
Tips For dealing out ur stats wait instead of just throwing them up there look if u have an item that u need more of a specific stat on or for skills see what the monstors are like ahead in the game if they immune fire and something u might put a point on cold or somethig like that. and look at what would help your character in the future and how it will affect u. for a Amazon u might want to put some extra points on dexterity but dont put to many or else ull have no life or mana.for necormancers,Sorceresses, and druids u need alot of mana, well al chars do but those 3 need it the most. Barbarian u need strangth and health barbarians dont require as much mana as other characters do. Paladin and Assassian dont really require more than another stat that u have so id make em have qual stats if u ask me thats what i think works best. For Paladin and Assassian use ur skills to ur advantage like use the Assassain's charge up and the Paladins auras. There are new items in the game to the newest edition is that each character has items that only they can use like the Paladin has special sheilds and the Assassain has claw weapons, The Amazon has bows and Javelins, The Druid has helms so does the Barbarian, the necromancer has skull things the Sorceress has orbs and globes. Each item does skills to the character type who can use it. So online if u are a Druid and have a Barbarian helm u can trade it to a Barbarian for a Druid helm.

Thanks for listening to my review hope it helps but i still think u should play it at a friends house first.
