Ummm, did you play Diablo2 cveale? It was a huge hit because it road the coattails of Diablo 1, which I admit was an awesome game. If Diablo2 had come out as an expansion for diablo1 (which is all it looked like anyways) 2 years ago then it would have been Ok. Warcraft2 was a great game but Myth- the fallen lords was much better.
Everyone I know bought Diablo2 because of Diablo 1 and they were ALL very disappointed with it. True, gameplay is important ,but If thats the only important thing then I would rather play Moria 3.0 on my old Amiga 2000 than Diablo2.
Percuvius...
