Diablo III vs D2

Dislikes:
No map overlay
Way too much clicking involved in the game. I liked the skill shortcut system from D2
Required internet connection to play means I don't get smooth gameplay due to my shoddy internet connection.

Likes:
Kept the general feel of the game from Diablo 2.
Brought over a lot of things from D2 which was great

Then it sucks for person like me because i have frequent disconnection problem and no other way to solve this problem?

Diablo 3, New

Diablo 2, Single player

Diablo 3, male or female chars

Diablo 2, single player

Diablo 3, Auction house

Diablo 2, Lan party (i particularly miss this option)

Diablo 3, Multiple mercs, insanely difficult hell mode.

Diablo 2, SINGLE PLAYER AND LAN!


have i made my point yet?

D2's skill shortcuts were pressing a key to change your right or left click to the assigned skill, and then clicking to use it...I'm not sure there's really too much of a difference, and the D2 shortcuts were really confusing sometimes if you didn't remember which skill was where, so I don't think I'll miss it myself.

I know this isn't really acceptable conversation, but if you have no internet you could always pirate it. I mean, buy the game, install it, and then find something that lets you patch it so you don't have to connect. It probably isn't available yet but I'd bet my ass someone's working on it as we speak.

My first, only and biggest disappointment was the fact that the game disc only came with half the game. The other seven gigabytes I had to download, which took about six hours on my home connection. I had to go to work about half way through so I couldn't play at all today. Couldn't even log in. What the hell is the point in buying a hard copy if you don't even get the full game? At least I get a fancy box...
