What does that even mean? Why were d1 and d2 good? Plenty of games have come and gone with similar features.

Just as Harry potter wasn't a great story, but had great timing, I think d2 was the same. It was good but it also was at the right time.

Walk up to area full of rather boss looking dudes, fuck em all up, take their gear and then spend 30 minutes ooing and aaahing over said gear has been a cornerstone gameplay loop for many games for decades.

It's, dare I say it?

fun?

Fill the area with cool lore, art direction and fold it into a story and hey, maybe it's a little more fun.
