Well, thank goodness we aren't getting into people that play X have a greater intellect than people that play Y, because that's a loosing battle. Many people, myself included, play both. I probably prefer Baldur's Gate type games on the whole, but as far as Diablo and Diablo 2 go...I CERTAINLY got my money's worth. I can't think of any other game in which I've logged as many hours playing as I have those two. With the ability to make multi-player games with your friends on Blizzard's nice FREE servers, and find items that weren't available in the offline game...I played again and again. Being able to password your game and just play with your buddies, it was a blast.
There is room for all these sorts of games in the market. Or the developers wouldn't be making them. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
