IMO it is titan quest with the underlord mod. it just has so much content and the loot game feels really close to diablo 2.

what do y'all think

was there ever a super eastern sun-like mod for torchlight 2 that fixed everything wrong with it?

Too many to count but the biggest thing was the respec potion.

You shouldn't have to mod a d2 clone to make it good but it's nice that it's available to do so.

The best diablo 2 clone is the upcoming patch for Diablo 3 which puts in the first few areas from diablo 2.

despised that game. it was so broken there were literally console commands the devs put in and recommended people use whenever there was a soft crash, cutscenes just wouldn't play and completely block progress, bosses were unkillable etc. and i played it like a year after its release

also after act i every enemy has a different way of stunning you or otherwise taking away your control which was insanely loving annoying

It's Titan Quest

D3 isn't really a D2 clone but it is also a very good game in its own right

i would have voted for diablo 3 as well but generally when i think "diablo 2 clone" i think poo poo outside the diablo series so i didn't.

titan's quest was very epic and had a lot of cool locations. even the mandatory desert act had you going through giza, pyramids, oasis-like areas and stuff.

you think act 1 is the peak going through greece but then act 3 is just a beaut and the expansion act has loving Hades which is incredible

Ehhh I got Titan quest on sale in late 2013 and it's like... meh. Having played it after playing D3 I just can't go back. But I can totally tell how it must have been a great game at the time of release.

yeah without the underlord mod the drop rates are honestly pretty lovely even on "hell" mode and the skills aren't balanced for poo poo. melee classes die left and right to everything while casters get summons so powerful they clear screens on their own+an insanely high damage shotgun staff attack skill.

best diablo 2 clone is the version in your head, when you forget about the horrible tedious bullshit like wandering around in the jungle not being able to find a waypoint before you have to go to your next class, or the gross color scheme and the screen clutter, and all you really remember was that perfect moment of finding something like a buriza or a high-level rune.

diablo 3 does a great job of giving you fun ways to mow down hordes of monsters, and the classes all feel pretty distinct from one another.

path of exile does really interesting things with loot, skills and economy, but it's got the same problem marvel heroes has: the combat doesn't really hit home. marvel feels floaty. path of exile feels sluggish.

extremebuff
Jun 20, 2010

yeah marvel heroes is good i just never feel like im hitting anything. im just shooting particles at them and numbers pop out.

it also quickly becomes an unintelligible mess when there's too much action, and the loot rates are tuned so that if you want to see more than one unique an hour you need to buy loot chance boosts. but it's f2p so that's expected
