I think they mean Gauntlet Legends, it was more ARPG than usual, saved your game even in the arcade.

But it was cartoony, which was my issue with D3. I was done when the ultimate gear farm was running around clouds and rainbows hunting unicorns.

I played path of exile as well but found it too manipulative, and though QOL the mtx were too expensive, I found within a few seasons of game launch I'd spent too much, and that was with running ladders for items to sell.

I'd rather just own games outright. I remember when DLC started on 360 we joked about how long it would be until reverse gear in a car was DLC. Didn't think it'd be quite so soon.

effingwewt's right, either legends or dark legacy but more specifically this one

That came out in 2014. I played both that and D3 around the same time. That version of gauntlet feels heavily inspired by diablo 3 to the point where I was playing them interchangeably when i'd get bored of one or the other and it was only ever really my girlfriend and I and our roommate playing together quick rounds at a time like an arcade game.
