I played D2 at launch and got through the campaign and had a good time. Just like with MMOs, I don't care about the end game and just want to play the story.
Tried to come back a while later and discovered 'vaulting' and haven't fired it up since. I can't be the only one.
We watched The Ritual last year and absolutely loved it.
What do you consider cold?
And yet layoffs have been rampant. It's never enough money.
What's your point here? The summary OP posted does a good job summarizing the article. It feels like you're trying to imply the article is biased without saying that.
I actually liked 2 more than one for the gameplay, but I thought 1 had the by far better atmosphere.
I do hope however, 3 comes out of the gate with more content for end game. I think both struggled a bit at launch and took a while for more content to show up and lost a lot of players because of it.
Game: Tempest Rising
I played barbarian at launch and loved it. And this season I've tried almost every character before settling on Necro. But still miss barb. Just felt really good to play, especially in endgame
I liked the second game but can totally understand why some wouldn't. I'd say the first game is a western action game, while the second game is more like a cowboy sim. I find it much more immersive, but much slower paced.
