I mean if they can implement some voice chat or have some text chat: I think its fine. More than likely you will be rolling with vetted people for loot runs.

Without that though, its gonna be a mess.

Modern AAA gaming is incredibly focused on making sure everyone has a mediocre experience every time. No high or lows.

I see forced user-side loot the same way I see confining communications to a few preset emotes. Half the stories I remember hearing about D2 focused in some way or another around someone getting scammed or scamming someone else off loot and that made the most memorable moments.
 
I'd forgotten how utterly pointless Diablo 3's plot was. All the prime evils are killed, but then are promptly ressurected a single act later. Even Malthael is implied to only have been banished, not destroyed.

Diablo 2 was bleak, but you at least obliterated Mephisto and prevented him from returning in any form.
 
The Amazon was changed into a tranny for westerners, Assassin was changed into Chinese so they could sell the game in China. Why should I give JPY 5,280 to Blizzard?

"But I get to pretend I'm reliving my college dorm days GUIZE!"

IDK, I really don't get why people are jumping on Blizzard's dick over this. Nothing has been stopping anyone from playing D2, shit it even has some sweet ass mods for it that really extends the gameplay. I feel like most of the people that are coming back to "relive the old days" just because of updated graphics will drop the new shiny toy after a month just like 'classic' WoW.

I should have expected this, its a Diablo release after all.
 
I'm really impressed with the Legacy Mode integration. It's completely seamless - changing mid animation, or in the chaos of battle demonstrates how perfectly everything has been synchronised with the original.

I was similarly impressed with the Demons Souls remake for this reason. Even specific iframes and hit boxes had been perfectly replicated.
 
I don't see the value here. Its the same game with a graphics bump, unless they plan on releasing more DLC for this version, AoE2- style. D2 is a fun, nostalgic game, but it's not a unique or irreplaceable game by any stretch. A straight up TIE Fighter remaster would be much more appealing.

Also, fuck this thread for getting me hooked on Grim Dawn.
 
Diablo 2 with a face lift is exactly what people have been asking for.

Being able to play on the couch with more than 800 pixels, and a framerate above twelve, makes it a lot more enjoyable.

They aren't doing client side loot? One of the biggest problems with Diablo 2 and as far as I've encountered an industry standard at this point for multiplayer looting games.

...

And people are upset about the rape instead of this?

the whole game is clientsided you bong.
they couldn't change that AND keep the ip connection co-op like it is.
that's why BNet back in the day used a different character created in their servers, kind of like how conan exiles is too.
 
I bought the Prime Evil collection of Diablo 3 yesterday. Still haven’t installed Resurrected that came bundled with it. Might do so tomorrow and see if anyone here might be interested in fucking around with me online for a bit

edit: game constantly crashes at startup. I can hear the audio and see the new Resurrected logo in the bottom right at the starting menu but it’s a black screen otherwise and it crashes after a few seconds. Tried reinstalling, tried clearing my cache, Nada. Computer is more than capable of running it. Frigging bullshit
