Hmm. Interesting question with a great many layers to it. Is it a good game? Yes. The shooting feels good, the raids are varied in pace and style and are far and away the best feature. Is it great? No. It will not be a classic remembered in years to come as being a revolution because it was an imperfect product plagued with issues when it launched. Sort of like No Mans Sky which landed mediocre and has, apparently, become much better as a result of a singular massive update (kinda like TTK did for D1). In regards to your comparisons, they mostly had starts that didn't set the world on fire. Namely, GTA didn't become the monster property until GTA3, Dark Souls was an improvement on Demon's Souls but didn't peak until Dark Souls 2, CoD was seen as just another FPS until Modern Warfare 2, FIFA is a solid series with a good pedigree but lacks a singular title that stands out from the rest as a classic within the franchise and Halo, well, you got me there. The first title was a home run out the gate. There are not many titles that have the first entry hold up as being considered a true classic. Baldur's Gate, Doom, Diablo, Uncharted and Red Dead Redemption come to mind but even then, the first four had sequels that improved the original product and RDR may do the same, we'll see. The reason I point all that out is that most commonly it's the second or third entry that brings everything together. That is what I am hoping D2 will be, a great game improving on a solid foundation.

  • I probably should've asked this question after D2's release then 🤔

  • Nah. I think your question is actually well timed. Yes, you'll get a bunch of troll posts crapping all over a game they either A) didn't play B) only played in Y1 or C) spent hundreds of hours playing anyway but I think it's a good idea to take an honest look at the game before D2 either blows us all away or lands like used diaper thrown from a high rise. We'll know for sure in 22 days...
