Greatest PVE ever won't keep me logging in for 2.5+ years
Just so my post isn't all negative: the PVE content is excellent in D2. Almost every facet of PVE (exception: damage skills need to be more effective against AI) is an improvement from the prequel.
Now that that is out of the way, no matter how great the PVE is, I'm very confident that it won't keep me logging in for 2.5+ years like D1 PVP did. I do not care for the PVP in this game. It seems super casual with a super casual skill gap. D1 patch 1.7 had the best skill gap. I'm not upset, just disappointed. The 1-30 PVE alone was worth the $99. It just might be like that B+ movie where one says: that was really good, but is it good enough to watch again when I could watch something new. The space museum mission was amazing, but I'm not going to play it 900+ times.
I've logged into D1 a few times since D2 has launched. There are still manhunts, and I could still find a game of skirmish in a reasonable amount of time. Please bring back the GEs. I did not like patch 1.8.3, but now. . . patch 1.8.3 is not all bad.
Finally, I still can't wrap my head around the fact that one shot checkpoint turrets made it into the final product. How many people had to sign off on that one?
