My favorite color is blue NO YELLOW! hehe nah I love''em both, infact I'm gonna play them both very soon, I'm gonna write long review here on the videogme borads about all the great RPG's, so stay tuned
Diablo.. more arcade like, and the gameplay is more in-depth... crafting new properties through the useage of runes, gems, magic items using the horadric cube.. magic finding bosses to get leet drops.. it only sux0red when they nerfed the cow level >_> but the synergy system is friggin awesome
the game that I played on ps2 for baldurs gate was boring and repetetive.. slash slash slash mob dies.. move to the next 'room' that looks like the last 50 you went through.. I just got tired of it..
that is not BG we are talking BG and BG and the Shadows of Amn and BG and the Throne of Baul the computer realtime RPG its what Diablo was kinda based on

Quite true, but then again The Elder Scolls has even more deepth so that wouldint really be fair, Elder can be compared to the Might and Magic series, Baldurs gate is kinda like someware inbetween I guess
Though IMO Baldur's Gate is a much more satisfying experience, Diablo has the excellent multiplayer aspect at the end.
So when you think about it, there really is no contest. Though Baldur's Gate can take months to beat, while I beat Diablo in about a week, Diablo always allowed you to come back and kill stuff with your friends. I know Baldurs Gate had an online aspect, but Diablo outclassed it in every way.
Another way to look at it is this:
Baldurs Gate was just like one huge D&D game.
Diablo was like a real video game.
You decide.

feel and gameplay depth are 2 different things.. I'm sure this thread was started in "which is better overall".. and if diablo just doesnt have what baldur's does, how can they be judged against one another? Its true that gameplay features make up the feel in the end, but diablo is more action /arcade oriented RPG than an actual roleplaying experience, which Im sure baldur's is supposed to be... this thread is like comparing dungeons and dragons pen and paper to dungeon seige or something equally lacking

Good Point, Good Point. I For One Like Diablo. Yes, I Have Played BG, And It Does Have That One Thing About It. But, Look At Diablo. I Mean, Seriously, Look At The Game Type. If You Wanted To Make A Good Comparison, Do Neverwinter Nights Against Something Like Might And Magic Games. Yes, That One May Seem Lopsided, But It's The Only Game I Can Think Of Right Now.
I loved both of these games.
over all I love to lvl up! im a lvl up addict.... Diablo lvling up was something special... baldors gate did itall for u! u just pressed the button, diablo u got to choose. I know its a minor point but im such a fan of lvling up...
diablo you could waste hours trading and talking and playing in a party. baldors you could waste hours on quests and minor quests.
bladors online takes too much time to get into it.
