this weekend, i spent 27.5 hours playing Diablo II, this is apporiximately 1/30th of the total gameplay, this means that there is aproximately 825 hours of gameplay total for this particular game (27.5 hours = half of the game with one of five character classes, and one of 3 skill settings, ie, to play the game completely, you would have to play through the game 3 times for each of the five character classes, 55 hours is the number of hours i estemate that it would take to finish the game once, so 55 x 5 = 275, 275 is the number of hours to play it through 5 times, multiplied by the number of skill settings (3) and there is 825 hours worth of gameplay, 27.5 is the most i can realistically play a game in one weekend while still getting all of my chores/responsibilities done, so therefore, to play this game completely will take me 30 weeks if i play 27.5 hours every week, assuming that from time to time, i may not be able to play every weekend, i'll add ten weeks to that for inaccuracy. that's 40/52 weeks in the year, if my math is right, that is 57.6% (30/52) of my weekends consumed by this one game.
if you don't like the game play, don't buy it, don't slag the game off because you don't understand what others see in it, obviously the simple hack and slash is what people like because as someone else said, it's the fastest selling game of all time. i played the original, and i think that this is great, not only has it stayed fairly true to the gaming style of the original, but monster variation is larger, there are more character classes, and item variation is better too, the cutscenes are brilliant, and tie in incredibly well with what happens in the game, but not only that, they tie in with what happened in the original. if you can't see the story in the game, then i pity you, because it's really good.
Cheers anyways

You're confusedOriginally posted by Maximilian:
I checked old topics and didn't see anything on Planescape Torment. If you haven't played it, its excellent. A different kind of RPG. Emphasis is on story & plot rather than hack n' slay. Epic game though.
. Planescape Torment is a REAL rpg. Diablo 2 is not really an rpg. It's an action rpg where you get told where the enemy is then go hack tons of monsters and loot their corpses until you cleared the level.
Playing Torment at the moment, it rocks. Maybe someone should start a Planescape Torment thread.

OmiOmi: nicely put man!
Max: i didn't use a calculator to work that out atall... all in the head mate. I didn't post those statistics to argue man, just for the sakes of general interest, because i enjoy the game, and i'm interested to see how my stats stack up against others who've played the game.
evidently from you're first post there, "Its total pants." you were ready to abuse diablo II from the start anyways, i'm not interested in picking any bones with you or anyone else, you said how much you disliked the game, and i responded by saying how much i liked it.
go ahead and abuse it if you want, i'll not stop you, just don't abuse me because i like it.0 -
