Nice one =D
I like your opinions, just teasing
In that case, I forgive you, being clearly a person of exquisite taste

I have a similar problem with RTS games. I once played Civ IV, a really good game, but when I was through it, I never felt to replay it again.
It was to me as if I had seen all of the mechanics already.
I couldn't feel any reason to do it all over again on a greater difficulty and I just cannot grasp why people still play Diablo 2. Unless you see slight increase in numbers as content you are done.
Any shitty game can become a cultural phenomenon and it cannot be explained by analyzing the game, but only how the players popularized it. Speedruns is an example of this phenomenon. World of Warcraft is an example of this phenomenon.
I spent more time with Diablo 3 than with Diablo 2 simply because there was more content in it. More to explore.
If there weran't a huge community around it and if it didn't have the cultural recognition you would probably not have bothered at all.
Still, it's nowhere near as overrated as Torchlight. I mean, yeah, Torchlight -definitely- has some interface and playability improvements over the competition. However, -everything- was so bland, boring, generic, and repetitive. Even with the good stuff, I couldn't play more than a few hours without moving on. I hope TL2 is better, but I doubt I'll get it.
THANK YOU. While I appreciate the effort (and the amazing price tag!) and I really wanted to like it, it's just killing for the sake of killing… (that sounds wrong) I lost interest really fast, even though there is potentially endless gameplay in there. Sigh. I'm getting old just searching for my immersion and story, huh?
