Well, there is the real time element but for some that isn't such a big deal. It isn't like a million bullet shoot them up game. Can we agree the 'real time' element of diablo 2 isn't exactly demanding compared to most games?
Although, "no save and exit" sounds terribly harsh.

Save/Reload is basically a cheat. I won't discuss it because there's nothing to elaborate about it.

Of course everybody is free to save/reload every 10 seconds for all I care. Just that it's my birthright and freedom of speech to express my opinion that this thing negates all challange.  |
I do agree save/reload is faster but the mechanical nature of devising a strategy for your diablo 2 run and king's bounty run. I believe it is far more similar than you think it is, which is why I'm curious if you weren't as good at diablo 2. It isn't a personal insult, but a reference that some gamers are better at some tasks than others.
Again, Diablo 2 Solo Hell Naked Hardcore which you deem "oh so hard" has just as similar of a list of "imbalanced" skills that work so well. Why is it that only ONE class out of the entire game can do it SO well? Isn't that horribly imbalanced by design? Shouldn't you be allowed to solo hardcore naked easily with EVERY class in the game?
The general idea is to use bone wall and have spammable potions everywhere. General crowd control (dim vision etc) and bone spirit as offense. It's tedious but it works similarly to your royal snake vs 2000 bear scenario or magic spring + troll vs Driller.

It would be an error to think all games have equal challanges. Most games are indeed easy because the target audience is not that bright, so it will suffice for the companies to make profit $$. Sure, beating 1 AMAI insane computer in Warcraft 3 is Easy if you're at least hasu, but the challange level of the task is still much greater then finishing all KB games on impossible.

Well, on a very high level, I find them to be similar. It takes some creativity to have the 'plan' but afterwards it is just mechanical for both games. Some people aren't as good at the real-time element, ergo your adrenaline factor and the reloading of a King's Bounty game is certainly more forgiving.

He is naked too I think so it's a fair fight.

Haha, fair enough!
