D3 had a bad reputation at launch because it was a sequel to an all time classic and had very big shoes to fill, as well as RMAH, but it's an absolutely solid game now and yes, it is very well optimised

A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Hard agree. I had taken a break for a few years and popped back in when D4 hype was at its highest. I really appreciate how much tinkering with the internal systems the seasons model allowed for. It also helps that D2 got some nice graphic upgrades with Resurrected, so it doesn't sting how different D3 is IMO.
I played D2R on a Series X and the graphics really are gorgeous, but considering that it's just a layer running on top of a game that's almost a quarter century old now, I remember that it was way too demanding for what it is. It also lacks QoL options - auto pickup, a modern inventory etc.
I loved Diablo Iii but I could not stand having full equipment and then spending the next 40 minutes min maxing and checking what I wanted to keep..got old fast..
I've been disappointed with how much de-syncing and rubber-banding occurs in D4 so hopping back on D3 is a breath of fresh air
I remember playing it together with a friend on release day. We beat the game the same evening and were bummed how few maps there were, how quickly it was over and how it wants you to just start the loot spiral. Haven‘t played it since, so it might well be super good now. Oh, ‘member the real cash auction house they eventually removed? lol
