Diablo 1 and 2 were good video games. They weren't intended as works of art, and they aren't. A game where you go around killing increasingly strong enemies isn't really anything new.

Both games pushed the boundaries of cinematic story telling for the ARPG genre. > A game where you go around killing increasingly strong enemies isn't really anything new. A painting of a woman wasn't new in the early 1500s when the Mona Lisa was painted, but I think most would consider it a work of art.
- ASalazarMX 4y agoI feel like you have a point somewhere, but knowing the history of games where you go around killing increasingly strong enemies, like the original Doom, makes me doubt the universality of your statement.
