The thing is, that fans know what they are getting into. If you liked the first one, you will like the second. I personally have played enough of the import to know that I will like it. It really is a re-engineering of the first with tweaks, but that's ok with me. Laharl and co. are all hidden characters. I mean for me, I'd be perfectly happy with the same game with new locales or expansions, something I think NIS should have done a while ago (offer expansion packs for existing games). New classes, maps, weapons, etc. The engine works fine for me.
But I also see the point for others. They want new, fresh, etc. You aren't going to get that here. I totally agree with RedCo's points on Makai, yet I love that game to death. It worked for me. I know it is a C or lower game, but I gave it a B simply for enjoyment factor, but then again I enjoy powerleveling for 100+ hours. A lot of you won't. I enjoy finding weird weapons in bonus dungeons, leveling vehicles, etc. I like figuring out how best to level up characters, etc.
I also agree that it's ok for people to disagree. Do my opinions suck? Maybe. I don't care. I just have to know what I like and play that.
I wouldn't just say, well now I don't want to play it cause someone said they don't like it.
Ask yourself, did you like the first one? Could you replay it with some minor tweaks? If so, then there's you answer. If you want a whole new game, then D2 won't be for you. It's got enough upgrades and new classes, etc. to warrant another 100+ hours from me. In the entire videogame universe, it's ok with me if a handful of the games are all built off the same engine, cause I like them. Sure I would have liked progressive scan and some other upgrades, but I'm just happy that we are getting the game in the first place.
