What’s the difference of Fractured with Diablo 3?
-
Atm I just started playing D3 while Fractured comes out any pros and cons there?
-
D3 is all about slaughter of million of NPC enemies.
Fractured is all about the mmo (WoW) with always on world PvP and full loot.
-
Diablo is all about maps.
Fractured is an openworld.Diablo is a themepark.
Fractured is a sandbox.Diablo is about looting items/equip.
Fractured is about looting/gathering materials to craft all items.Diablo has Minibosses and Endbosses as a goal.
Fractured has the whole world domination as goal.Diablo has levels.
Fractured has not.....to be continued...
Equality: Isometric view

how is diablo 3 a theme park?
-
@jetah It's textbook theme park with various predefined scripted events driving the gameplay.
Even if lategame is nothing but paragon masturbation, concept still stays.@warlunhardt said in What’s the difference of Fractured with Diablo 3?:

Those are two completely different games, isometric view being the only thing that they share.

level to 70, bounties, rift for gear while running grifts for leg gems.i don't see that as a theme park. you can skip bounties (if your build doesn't need the royal ring).
-
Diablo 3 = ARPG
Fractured = MMORPGThey both use isometric view, but other than that, they are 2 complete different games that will play completely different.
It's like comparing Factorio with Fractured, because they both use isometric view.

how is diablo 3 a theme park?Because it has a predefined story/lore that you can‘t change as a player. Everyone is playing the same content.
There is no lore content you can create as player.Fractured just give us a lore frame, the player will change this lore in the frame of the story Fractured will give us.
Surely, Fractured is not a total sandbox, but it has so many sandbox elements, that we will able to create our own lore/story in it.
-
As nobody has mentioned it, the combat is supposedly more strategical and a little slower in Fractured. At least that was stated as a goal, if they are going to achieve that remains to be seen.

It doesn't matter, you don't affect the world and you have no freedom. You just walk through fancy corridors until the game storyline is over, after that you grind rifts until your fingers fall off.
-
those two are pretty hard to compare
diablo3 has an absolutely linear storyline, its an ARPG and its pretty hard grindy
fractured has no storyline, is an MMORP and its promised without grinding
they are completely different types of games
-
Let's see if we will get a nice storyline, some nice abstracts are already there
And it is a nice game for fanfiction

@kralith
I haven’t touched the story in 4+ years. At least since RoS came out.One big difference will be the game worlds.
-
@jetah Well, the story is, kill diablo. More or less.
-
@kralith
while true, the story became obsolete once Reaper of Souls expansion came out. Actually shortly after becaues you needed to kill Mathael for the bracer recipe.. RoS introduced Rifts, GRifts and the Bounty system.
-
@jetah okay, okay, i stoped at „kill Diablo“
-
Thank you for the replies I get a clear idea now.
-
@warlunhardt
you can look up some Ultima Online videos which might give you a better idea.think of it like WoW, FFXIV, Wildstar, (runescape; maybe) type MMO but with a locked camera location.
