recently i felt like D3 is still way tooo long before it comes out.

So i did some hardcore single player Nerd Hack&Slay Action the last 10 days.

Played

Diablo2 LOD offline single player Assasine
Lvl 46 Act2 Nightmare playtime ~ 18hours

Torchlight Warrior char level ~ 50
endless Void dungeon Level 16 ~ 18h

Legend Hand of God
Paladin lvl 51 till "Nightmare" Act3 ~ 18h

yay ...

Well my 4 main conculsions from this are

1.) Diablo 2 is still fun even for the 50th time
2.) Torchlight was kinda dissapointing monotone
3.) Legend Hand of God was kinda buggy but overall surprinsingly fun and i think it definitely was a ton better than torchlight
4.) Diablo 3 will probably be much better than any D2 clone of the last years ever was

Here are some screens for those who never played Hand of God and want someting till D3 comes out

here u can see how a low level char looks and what the stats in my next picture mean

Inventar/Char screen of my paladin when he was LVL 48 right before going into battle with the Ac2 Nightmare end boss (big dragon)

U can imagine its pretty much like Diablo with just some minor changes that u get used to after 1-2 hours
There are Unique and magic items , there is an Inventar and u can invest Points in Strength, Dexterity,Life,Magic when u level up
U can boost these stat points using items ( thats why they are blue in my picture)

Hand of God skill system

Unfortunately every char only has 2 Skill trees and can only invest Talent points till a maximum of 10.
U can get skills as high as 20 with the help of items though ( thats why some of my skills are 13)
Well its a lot simpler than Diablo2/Lod but well the fun is about items anyways

heres is a video to get you a better impression of the game. ( Its not me in the video ... its a random german guy whoms Video i found on the internetz)
This is Act 3 Final Boss in Normal mode

Graphics are much better than it looks in the video and are actually quite nice and gameplay is as u can see very typical D2 style

Only downside to the game is that there is quite a lot of bugs even with patch 1.02 final
Most bugs that accour though dissapear when after restart the game.

U can either buy it for ~ 10$
or get the SKIDROW Version ( allthough u have to get gamecopyworld no CD and a german Patch 1.02 ... but it works)

As a fellow Diablo and Diablo 2 fan, you should take a look at Path of Exile. It's not out yet either (in closed beta right now), but it looks so heavily influenced by Diablo 2 that I think I might end up preferring it to Diablo 3. Only time will tell I guess.

nice review, except I hate slasher games

I have learned from poker that being at the table is not a grind, the grind is living and poker is how I pass the time
