What does 4e's design offer better?
What are the game rules and mechanics advantages of 4e - are there any?

Um...Diablo 3's a video game...you know that, right?

 

[YourSwordIsMine]

and 4e isnt?!!!

Could have fooled me!

Exactly my point. 4e rules and mechanics are the ones of a video game too -ones a video game offers. You know, there is this virtual tabletop made to implement all the 4e rules and mechanics in video game mode.
So how can it compete with Diablo III gameplay wise (regarding the mechanics and combat rules)?

Who CARES! Do you KNOW what THIS means?! Blizzard has blessed us from above! Hail the new Diablo 3!

DnD, Diablo, other RPGs.... my life is blessed. I didn't know that it could come to this...

You kidding me? 4e has a DM , that pretty much grinds good old DIII into the dust in terms of gameplay, rules and whatever else one can add to the mix... well barring graphics, but who needs those into a TTRPG anyways?

4e has no advantages over Diablo III whatsoever. Congratulations, you win. I present you with the Key to the Internets.

Diablo III?!?

Ah, sweet mystery of life now that I have found thee!

 

[xechnao]

Diablo III is not old. It hasn't been released yet. And perhaps it will support a DM .

Oh, this again...sigh.

Just when you thought there were no scraps left of this horse to beat on...
