A gaming sub free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.
I've never played any of the Diablos, or met anyone who has. But they are obviously popular for a reason. Are they worth going back to the first one?
Edit: Thanks for the answers, the community is alive! Based on you recommendations it looks like I'm going to give 2 resurrected a try.
If you like action RPGs, diablo 2 is the game that made it into what the genre is today for the most part. It's practically a perfect game from a fundamentals and gameplay standpoint (meaning it's perfect at what it aimed to do and the impact it's had, not that it's without flaws). I have never been as into AARPGs as my friends, I burn out on them too quickly usually, and I don't have the patience for the grind. But for people who like that style, it's the OG. Its probably the first game I ever sunk more than 100 hours into, but those are rookie numbers for AARPG vets.
Diablo 1 is fantastic, but is very dated at this point. Partly because Diablo 2 improved on damn near everything.
Diablo 3 was...fine. I played through it twice when it launched and I've never touched it again. It was/is insanely popular but it wasn't for me.
I haven't played 4 and personally don't plan to, but it seems like people really like it so far! I'm not against it by any means, I'm just not into the seasonal content type games, and I really prefer to play single player, and I play offline a ton. I can't keep up with the grind or the time commitment, but wish the best for those that can and enjoy that game style.
