You are talking right to me here... i liked Titan Quest a lot more also. It gives you complete open control of your character and how you build it... almost too much control. One playthrough I made a character that was too powerful and I was just blasting everything with no effort. I had 2 pets and i could basically just let them kill everything.
Graphically Titans Quest has better graphics also in most areas... like how the grass is detailed and moves as you run through it, and the trees look pretty good also. Diablo 3 everything looked so dark and flat, and its a newer game than Titans Quest made by a billion dollar company, i expected a lot more.
And then theres mods also, theres mods that give you skins, and also mods that even let you rotate the camera... you can't do anything like that in Diablo 3.
Both games storyline have a linear progression but Titans Quest is a large world with most of the game occurring outdoors and not in awful dark dungeons and its not split up with little load screens like Diablo 3. Also when you kill an enemy, it stays on ground dead, it doesn't just magically disappear. Even if you leave far off the screen and come back, all the things you killed are still sitting in the exact same place. Only time they disappear is when you restart the game.
And most importantly... you can play the game offline so you don't have lag to ruin the game. The PC version of Diablo 3 forces you to be connected online at all times... i can't tell you how badly i lag in games and it ruined Diablo 3 even more with this.
Diablo 3's combat is more action paced because they throw a ton of enemies at you which i like, but with all that lag it pretty much cancels out the fun. If you have perfect internet 24/7 i guess being forced to play online all the time isn't an issue as it is for me.
I know i said i prefer Titans graphics, but both games graphics and variety become really repetitive quickly and you don't see anything that interesting, but Titan at least some of the environments you see look nice unlike Diablo 3 where everything is black and dark.
Also theres a very well done day/night cycle and shadows that actually move slowly as the day passes in Titans Quest... Diablo 3 has nothing like that. Its always the same time of day in that game, its just awful... Diablo 3 is a newer game btw and made by a billion dollar company (had to be repeated but they are just awful blizzard is a joke).
I think both games give you too much junk loot that just is annoying to look at and a waste of time to pick up with the terribly small inventory space in both games.
and ya, don't buy Diablo 3 Ultimate Edition, its just more of the same. Im sorry i mostly talked about Titans quest, but i really don't care much for Diablo 3, i couldn't wait to finish the game and delete it off my PC. I actually felt good when i deleted and knew i would never play it again. Just lag, and dark blurry graphics, complete waste of a game.
