my personal view of things
Diablo2 - LOD
Story - ok but not needed to get addicted really
Items - best Items in any game ever, many pre and suffix, awesome amount of uniques rares and sets
Characters - very nice, many classes with even many different ways of gameplay and tactics
Monsters - huge amount of enemies with many skills and many many bosses +the level endbosses (with high droprates ^^)
Multiplay - Awesome - it has lags yeah but to play with many others kicks ass (mostly of enemies
)
Grafics - ok - nothing special
Dungeon Siege
Story - not really usefull - missing videos
Items - nice view from outside, but only useless crap (like rings with 5 to mana, 6 to mana, 15 to mana) only usefull stuff is yellow rares but they are all the same, uniques are missing, the new sets suck (2 items = 1 to Int, 3 items = 2 to Int, etc -.-")
Characters - No classes, it was a new idea to become a class in dependence of what u use (weapon or magic) but this even sucks later on in the game because the magics are not really usefull
Monsters - ok they are nice and vary alot (like the environment) but the bossmonsters which appear are nothing special - the last endboss is lame
Multiplay - is nice because of the grafics and the feeling, but to fight in groups dooesnt fit well because the exp sharing is not seen - only nice thing is the follow mode for lazy players
Grafics - best in the genre I think
Sacred
Story - is ok and leads the gameplay
Items - nice view, nice varieties, class speciffic items, sets are rare and not really usefull - but nice to have
Characters - Nice classes with good new Ideas, but if u look closer many skills are the same, fighting technics are fine but leveling sucks because u cant really skill what u like because u need special skillitems to higher skills, leveling up chars isnt even usefull when u dont get skill items
Monsters - nice but the variety is missing, they look very different, because they can be equipped with all items u can find (wepons etc), they dont vary much but keep getting stronger, the appearence is nice and the sounds are cool ^^, need of bosses yeah - that sucks meanwhile
Multiplay - is very funny but in this state of developement (I call it that way because of the bugs) not playable
Grafics - very colorfull and nice, environmental sounds are cool too, but if u know dungeon siege it seems like a 3dimensional Diablo
I think Diablo2 is most addictive, the other games are more like fill the time u are fedup with diablo - till u want to play t again ^^
----Buglist of Sacred will follow----- but I am tired right now
