Despite all the hours I’ve put into d2, I still have a huge feeling of emptiness playing this game that I never felt playing d1.
I saw a post on Reddit the other day saying d2 is a better game than d1, and personally I couldn’t disagree more.
D1 to me was so much more FUN. There was no superficial seals, extreme monetisation through eververse, fomo, no bounty overkill disguised as seasons.
The original game was designed to be a game, which is supposed to be fun and players having fun. You played the game on your terms, as and when it pleased you to do so. Somewhere along the way this has changed with Destiny 2. It became way more hardcore to the point where they employ people from the gambling industry to make their game more addictive. The game is now designed with the intention of it being a job and over time it’s slowly sucks the fun out of the game and my soul along with it with its artificial endless grind.
Anyway, this is my opinion and that’s how I’ve been feeling for some time. I’m fatigued by the game being a full time job and I’d actually like there to be content droughts, especially when the content (seasons) isn’t really content at all. That way the game wouldn’t feel like the checklist chore it is today and it might start to feel like it’s as good as the original.

3 RepliesDid I enjoy D1 more then D2? Absolutely yes. But that applies to most sequels, I throughly enjoyed Diablo 2 over Diablo 3. Mass Effect 1 was better then Mass Effect 2. Morrowind was better then Oblivion which was better then Skyrim. That said even though D2 is missing some stuff the D1 had I feel overall D2 is the better game. Still didn’t enjoy it as much though
