#Diablo vs diablo 2 series

Considering it's ten bucks as I write this, i'd say that if you have the money to get Diablo III, you might as well spend the extra ten and get this, too. Sacred 2 is great it just suffers from a lack of direction at times and getting LAN to work can be a bit aggravating at times. Diablo III was fun for me up till act 2 inferno. Honestly? I think both are decent if flawed games. It really depends on what you're wanting out of an arpg. Diablo III takes itself far more seriously than this game does, and there's a lot of 4th wall breaking going on in Sacred 2. the down side of all this freedom is that the narrative suffers for it.which is fine, because it's all very tongue in cheek, anyways. You can go wherever you like (well, almost wherever), approach quests in whatever order you wish to do them and pick whichever abilities you want your character to have. With Sacred 2, you have a larger amount of freedom. Whatever you may think of that narrative or the gameplay involved in constructing that narrative, it's obvious that with Diablo III, you're enjoying the game the way Blizzard wants you to enjoy it. In a nutshell, however, Diablo III is a very tightly constructed and scripted experience that sacrifices freedom in favor of the narrative.

It's really hard to say one game is better than the other when the games are entirely different games, despite being in the same genre.

Imho Sacred 1 was (and still is) the best diablo since diablo 2.ДЄnd if you are looking for a Diablo with more story and depth and freedom of choice, try Divine Divinity and Beyond Divinity, they are superb games, they were tagged 'the thinking man's Diablo' for a reason.Дivine Divinity is one of the best games i ever played, and i played a few. One more thing: If you liked Diablo 2, i would recommend Sacred Gold (the original first game), s2 was great but after all was said and done, i think s1 was a more accurate diablo clone, and its selling for a mere 1.99 now, a steal for such a quality game.

#Diablo vs diablo 2 series

Some people prefer the titans quest series but its a matter of taste, for me Sacred offered better variation, much better itemization (itemization was titans quest biggest failure for me) better characters/classes and more interesting gameplay. The itemization, graphics, classes and skills are excellent.

Seriously though, the Sacred games are excellent Diablo clones, and they are better than Diablo 3 ironically. It is better than Diablo 3 but then again everything is better than Diablo 3.
