My friend says the diablo games are the reason why AAA games are all filled with crafting and shit these days. Is this true?

Diablo has crafting?

Is your friend a nigger, by any chance?
>>383285924
Yes. Games with no crafting are the reason for crafting. Now suck his dick.

That said, OP's friend is retarded, the reason it's infesting AAA is because of Minecraft.

crafting was so useless in diablo 2 that no one even remembers its there

A couple of the Blood and Caster recipes are good.
Caster ammys can actually be the best possible fro Sorc if you get the right rolls if I remember right
>>383286705
unless you consider runewords and such "crafting"
is OP talking about survival games?

my friend also mentioned trivial loot drops, like "baseball bat of +2 vit", but I don't really play that many AAA games to know if those are that prominent

Crafted gloves and amulets were godly.
However, it was only a tiny part of the endgame.
I'm not an expert on the matter, but I'd assume that much of the recent crafting/open world/survival crap is because of Minecraft.
