effingfinally (a beta story)

[Srikandi]

It seems like this is an RPG

It is an ARPG, and that is a very different thing, the main difference being that there is pretty much no RP whatsoever in an ARPG

The main feature of the Diablo series it that gameplay mechanics are designed around fast-paced aggressive play, and not a believable world. Map rerolling being the primary evidence of this; it COMPLETELY smashes any concept of realism, and there is not the slightest nod given to it in the lore

It's funny, Lifeless, how you had so much to say regarding the beta and people found the exaggeration about health globes making it an arcade game feel and now it's reduced this thread to "What's an ARPG?" and "Learn more about games, newb."

Well, it IS the internet and I've seen worse on Diablo sites
