i could never return to diablo 1 after 2 because you can't run (or that's my memory from 24 years ago anyway)

I skipped over Diablo to play Diablo 2 because I got in trouble for tying up phone line for too long trying to download a 20 megabyte shareware version.

I've been interested in trying out The Last Remnant but I've read about how its basically a SaGa game and I don't know how I feel about starting now.

It did give us The Butcher in Heroes of the Storm though. If you're the target of his charge + stun thing you hear "Fresh Meat!" and the audio sting and then the sound of heavy footsteps as he rushes towards you. If you're an out-of-position squishy mage with no escape it's genuinely terrifying.

I played a lot of Diablo II in high school but have never really played a similar ARPG for more than a couple hours for some reason.

only ever tried the eastern sun thing with friends and the only thing i remember is my friend kept trying to give my other friend a sword or some poo poo. he was a barbarian so he took it, jumped in an inaccessible part of the map, dropped it then jumped back.

If you want a Remnant, you should instead play Remnant 2.

Lmao getting your meat stacks early and just running people over. Loved that hitching post ult too for combos

Also Butcher in D3 may have been lame but its version of the Skeleton King was extremely cool.

He also made it to Heroes of the Storm and a playstyle was created based around constantly dying and respawning to push unstoppably until it got nerfed into the ground.

it's the worst combination of rpg mechanics i've ever seen except maybe yiik. it's a similar vein where the game actively hates you for trying to play it
