Diablo II: Resurrected

[ooogz]

Unless you playing just for the story. Cause then you just finish and move on, like I normally do.

That's the thing. I come back to diablo 3 and enjoy the end game move on and come back again. Diablo 2 resurrected isn't as expensive as AA titles but times are tough so I'm 2 minded about the game.

Suspect its gonna be a full price affair, cause sadly Blizz don't know what the word "sale" means. (Still selling 20 year old games for full price on Battle dot net)

Diablo 2 is also not coming to Game Pass either.

I think diablo 2 resurrected is $40 at the moment where as new AA titles are about $60?

It's R700 if I can recall ( 40 Euros' ) PC which I paid in Feb

I think it might be more on console tho, haven't checked the price - mind you I have like R300 credit on eshop nintendo for the switch version

I know I will get my full value for money on this game, as long as it's not a Reforge / Cyberfail release, I cannot wait for this game !

Technically I should get a discount....

Seeing that I have Diablo 2 + expansion on my Battle.net account

But we all know Blizz Activision dont work like that.

Edit: Had to go check, busy installing it now

Played this for about an hour.

Don't think I'll be getting it. As awesome as it looks, it's still Diablo 2.

That's great, but having played newer games, it feels very old, unpolished, lacking.

Me2. Especially when I think about mass effect and their legendary edition having already bought the game 4 times.

What did you expect? diablo 2.5 or 3.5?

 

[AlphaJohn]

And ready to go




Actually installing it to remind me why re-release is needed

Played through the 2 Acts with 2 Classes.
Mostly D2 with new Gfx.

Did not run into major issues.
Latency was higher than I'm used too in D3 . Lets hope they sort that, as we dont have offline and then TCP/IP with friends option anymore.

While I was quite a serious D2 player with tons of hours in it, I'm 100% not one of those idiots who want the game to stay exactly as D2 is.
QoL changes will do much more for the game in the long run and there quite few I personally think they should implement.

Regarding 'modes' we have
- Offline Single Player with all ladder runewords (TCP/IP removed, so you cant even play that characters with friends anymore. Think this is a bad move)
- Normal Battle.net, so online with others, but without all the runewords (as far as we know atm. Same as D2, hooe they rethink this)
- Ladder. Basically seasons with all the runewords, but longer that D3 seasons

Only real social part of D2 is trading and pvp and maybe xp farm if thats your thing.
Normal gameplay is pretty anti-social as you either play alone or with very trusted friends, because of the outdated free for all whack-a-mole loot system.

I'll be spending some serious time in D2R.
Maybe see some of you there when we not solo farming for loot

2.5 I suppose. A UI update would have been great, D3 has a much better one IMO. I know it’s not a full remake, but would have appreciated a some QOL tweaks.

I only managed to finish Act 1 playing as a Sorceress.

The music and sounds took me back, way back, when I played this game non stop.

Sucks that there is not even one African server. An entire continent ignored.

I enjoyed playing and cannot wait for the full release!

 

[Ancalagon]

I do think the game would benefit from a little more modernisation. Not sure I'd buy it without some modernisation.

Sadly, it also looks like they've ****ed mod support (in the ways that matter), so it's a bit of a wash already.

 

[AlphaJohn]

Ok This sucks.

If you install Original Diablo 2 via Blizz it now installs 1.14b and it breaks the 1920x1080 Widescreen Mod's. <-- color me surprised!

Guess its get use to 800x600 or fork out $$ for new one. (Was planning on buying the Xbox version anyway.) but it would have been nice to compare on PC.
