I’ve never played any of the Diablos, or met anyone who has. But they are obviously popular for a reason. Are they worth going back to the first one?

Edit: Thanks for the answers, the community is alive! Based on you recommendations it looks like I’m going to give 2 resurrected a try.

    Having sunk tons of time into D3, I can say it’s worth a look. The paragon leveling system from D3/D4 is a clever way of rewarding players who keep playing well after the main 3 (or 4 with D3 DLC) acts. I think I was at Paragon level 1100 or so when I stopped playing.

    The biggest complaint people had about D3 IIRC was it’s too colorful (something they poked fun at with the Whimsydale/rainbow goblin).

    D2 was a favorite in college, but admittedly I never played outside of some lab parties.

    D4 is shaping up to be a solid game, but this is patient gamers, so I don’t know if that counts.

      Oh no, how dare a game known for its dark visuals make use of the whole spectrum lol. If that’s the highest critique then it’s gotta be the best dungeon crawler of all time

        :D I know right? I didn’t pick up D3 at launch because of their store/always on DRM (which were two more legitimate concerns), but when I finally joined in after the first expansion I could not for the life of me understand the, “it’s too colorful” complaint.

        Plus Whimsydale is bonkers awesome - slaying demon rainbow unicorns and teddy bears is a blast.
