You don't even fight Diablo in hell, you fight him in a hallway They love diablo 1 so much yet they won't actually re-release it for people to purchase eh?
diablo 1 sucks compared to diablo 2 there i said it
I'm not gonna say it sucks, but I feel like Diablo II was a sequel that definitely improved on the mechanics of the first game. I used to play the second one all the time, it was one of my favorite PC games I ever owned.

[QUOTE=Bloodshot12;51621086]They love diablo 1 so much yet they won't actually re-release it for people to purchase eh?[/QUOTE] They think their old stuff sucks. Which is awful, because the first Diablo is still a good/fun game, even if it's not as good as the second.
so it's basically a retro pixel filter eh? [QUOTE=megafat;51621266]They think their old stuff sucks.

[QUOTE=Mister Sandman;51621282]so it's basically a retro pixel filter eh?[/QUOTE] A retro filter with some tweaks to gameplay, a reskinned UI, and a dungeon that reuses D3 assets to essentially "recreate" D1 in a rather cheap yet efficient manner. Honestly, phrasing it like that really makes it sound like an officially-done mod that's being issued as an anniversary event.

If I were a diablo fan I dunno if it would really light my pants on fire though. I'd rather have a remaster, or put the first Diablo up for free on battle.net so it's easily available and preserved or something. Not like they're making anything off it anyway :v:
[QUOTE=HAKKAR!!!;51621098]diablo 1 sucks compared to diablo 2[/QUOTE] You didn't need to say that, we all knew this then they decided to take everything that we loved about both games and completely ignore it in Diablo 3.

Diablo 1 did release on December 31st, 1996, but if they had 'no time' to reskin the HUD until someone else stepped in for them and did it in a night, then they really wanted to rush this out the door.
[QUOTE=Zang-Pog;51621212]Diablo 2 is pretty much an improvement in every way. That doesn't make Diablo 1 bad, [B]it just makes it kinda obsolete[/B][/QUOTE] Does it though? The environments in D2 are very different and the atmosphere and high starting difficulty in Diablo 1 is much more horror oriented which i think makes it worth playing still. There's even a mod that backports some newer features and gameplay ideas from D2, I'd hardly say one game being a refinement would make the other obsolete unless it was a straight up remake or the other elements weren't done well.

Hey I'm gonna take this chance to ask I never played Diablo but I was always curious about it growing up so when I do should I play diablo 1 or 2 first[/QUOTE] if you do play Diablo I get the Belzebub mod. makes the game HD, adds a fuckton of new quests, new character classes and a crafting system and everything.
I can't say i agree with that for me, I got into both around the same time and I find myself going back to D1 more because i prefer the atmosphere. I wouldn't say D1 is a better game by any stretch, but I do enjoy it more. Though to be fair I'd probably more feel that way if there weren't gameplay mods for D1.
It's just a nice little free update in celebration of an older game. Everyone who's been complaining so far seems to just be entitled as fuck considering diablo 3 has had free updates [I]every year[/I] since Reaper of Souls. That's already more post-release support than most developers usually bothered with. They said they were going to put in a diablo 1 homage with restricted movement and old graphics filter as a limited time event.

People hyped themselves up expecting Blizzard to release content the scale of a full game for free and for a title that's nearing on five years of age, and they whined when Blizzard released realistically scaled content considering its free nature. Nothing has obligated Blizzard to release anything for Diablo 3 in the past three years. Once the expansion was rolled out and the issues with the original game were ironed out, they could have just dropped the game but they instead put up stuff like seasons and did a conscious effort to somewhat update the title every year despite it being in no way, shape or form a game that requires such updates. It's a matter of entitlement and players asking taking way more than they should for granted. [editline]4th January 2017[/editline] Then again the Blizzard playerbase has been known to be entitled and childish regarding Blizzard's [I]free fucking content[/I] for a while now so I'm not surprised they'd also come out bitching at more free content for a game that was released half a decade ago.

Blizzard wasted countless dollars and man hours on developing this limited time event that isn't going to make any Diablo 1 players go and buy Diablo 3. It isn't going to bring anyone back and it provides very little compared to what they could have done with the time and money for the actual Diablo 3 community. It isn't entitled to hope a developer makes sound business decisions for your favorite series.
I haven't played it yet but I'm just glad they are doing anything at all. I'm sure half-assed or not, it'll be a fun nostalgia trip to keep me busy for a little bit. [editline]4th January 2017[/editline] Also, it better have this music: [video=youtube;1cH8ZwL3A7Q]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1cH8ZwL3A7Q[/video] Atmospheric as fuck. My favorite track in the whole Diablo series.
So it's basically D3 with bad animation and Diablo 1's story. Everything else is unchanged. Woowee.....what a shitty "remaster" Give us the original you fuckwads!
[QUOTE=DEMONSKUL;51621679]So it's basically D3 with bad animation and Diablo 1's story. Everything else is unchanged. Woowee.....what a shitty "remaster" Give us the original you fuckwads![/QUOTE] Not really even the Diablo 1 story.
Life-support content.

[QUOTE=Mister Sandman;51621282] I never played Diablo but I was always curious about it growing up so when I do should I play diablo 1 or 2 first[/QUOTE] Skip Diablo I altogether and just go to the better experience that is Diablo II: Lord of Destruction I never really liked Diablo, but I can say that Diablo II is just satisfying gameplay-wise and everything there is just right. If you like these sort of games, or even better, if you have a person to play Diablo II with, then go for it!
[QUOTE=Mister Sandman;51621282]Hey I'm gonna take this chance to ask I never played Diablo but I was always curious about it growing up so when I do should I play diablo 1 or 2 first[/QUOTE] I'm gonna say play Diablo 1 first. Not only is it an extremely fun game, you'll definitely appreciate the changes going into Diablo 2. I think going into Diablo 1 from Diablo 2 is a lot more difficult than just starting with Diablo 1. [editline]4th January 2017[/editline] Plus Diablo 1 has a fuckin sick atmosphere and amazing soundtrack.

I think Warrior class is the canon storyline leading into D2.

Diablo 1 is a fun game and should be played before Diablo 2 in my opinion.
I always preferred the slow, plodding gamely from d1 for some reason. D2 is great, but the original will always be my favourite.
Diablo 1 has unbeatable charm, just the soundtrack can bring me back to it, this can't come close to that.
I don't know, I think this update looks kinda cool.
