*What’s your thoughts on Diablo 4? And back it up with which Diablo game was your first!* -BoomstickAlex
Diablo 3 was a de-evolution and tghe worst of the bunch by far
The diablo series ended with D2LoD
Diablo gave rise to carpal tunnel syndrome
Diablo 4 is the only one I have or have played I really enjoy it. I see that it gets some hate but it’s a good game to me
I started diablo back in the late 90s with D1 as a child playing it wity my dad followed by D2 then LOD. I have easily 5k hours in d2 over the past 25 years. I played d3 on release beat it and got board. Ros came out beat the story and got board again. Came back to LOD with the plugy mod then d2r. Played d4 and got board before finishing the story of d4.
D3 and D4 are great games however, i have a deep dis like of thier loot system. The tailored loot to your character takes away the rush of getting that perfect item or getting an item that would be awesome for a different class so you save it and build and character for that item. They also removed the player ran trading economy that exists in D2 still to this day. The idea of a “holy grail” run cant happen in d3 or d4 with out multiple characters.
D3 and 4 are great games for the casual gamer but d2 is for the hardcore gamers that want to grind for rare loot to build the perfect character to take on Uber tristrum or uber diablo for the hellfire torch and anni charm
I didn’t realize this was a long ad
Diablo series is my favourite by far and I feel like every title has it’s strenghts – Diablo, Diablo II, Path of Exile and Path of Exile II.
would love if they made a diablo game like skyrim. i want to play this franchise but i can’t enjoy playing games like this.
If Diablo 3 and 4 are so great, why are people playing Diablo 2 still?
First was Diablo 1 when it came out, devoured the book – it was difficult enough that I only remember completing it once before Diablo 2 came out.
Recently steamrolled a season of Diablo 3 before buying Diablo 4 on sale. I havent finished Diablo 4 but my playthrough as a necromancer has not been as exciting as my recent and first experience as a necromancer in Diablo 3. Not really sure what the mounts or even other players are good for at this point. I’ll probably pick another class and stick around through the next season but right now I think I’m glad I can still go back to diablo 3. It just feels like the Diablo 4 experience peters out about halfway through the game.
I don’t get the Hate against D3. It was fun! The only thing that was really stupid are the seasons with every time the same things… That was Boring. The Game itself was fun.
and now it seems D4 is not that good. Or sometimes it is and then sometimes it isn’t.
I loved the world bosses in D4 but they NEED to be even harder than they are plus we need more bosses 3 different ones is pathetic like wtf blizz even VoH didnt even add a new world boss wtf
Imagine praising Diablo 4.
Quick comparison:
– D1 : Dark father of RPG games.
– D2 : Evolution D1, adding multiplayer addictive looting, trading and pvp.
– D3 : Like D2 but longer traveling, less meaningful loot, worse trading, no pvp and without being able to name game instances.
– D4 : Like D3 but without game instances at all and feeling even more isolated, and an attempt of adding pvp back.
As you see, the “game” saga ended in D2. From there it’s just walking around a world for no reason.
never played any diablo game
Diablo one was the first game I ever played online and had a blast apart from dealing with hackers who would kill yoy in town and resurrect you then kill yoy again over and over
i started to play diablo III and later in 2023 i play diablo V it was competitive
No comment on your opinion on story or music? Why do people just brush this aside? I don’t get the kind of personality that can do a retrospective like this and completely ignore those qualities about the game.
D2 is one of the greatest things who human made it.
Corrections:
– D2 already included some mmo stuff
– D4 loot system is terrible
– That boss comparison with D4 & the butcher is pointless
Poe2 infinity better
d1 d2 > d3 d4
9:02 I mean D3 is also serious, just art style is a bit different. But story and lore were expanded greatly in D3, IMO campaign is still better than in D4… Endless MMO like towns in D4 are not serious, they’re just boring, while in D3 you have actual tragic stories of barbarians, Westmarch, angels vs demons and so on. They kinda ruined Diablo lore in D4 and expansion. Fundamentally D4 plays the same as D3 in end-game…
Diablo 2 Lod is still unbeatable. diablo 3 was boring and stale and Diablo 4 was the final nail in the coffin.
Diablo 3 and 4 are not really a diablo 2 sequel, just a different games all together.
The Butcher fight in Diablo 1 is an iconic moment in gaming. Every player back in the day, including myself, got jump-scared and then proceeded to panic as we got hacked to bits. One of the best memories in gaming I have.
althought i think the games are great, they are missing a key ingredient. the way d3 and d4 sets up your game is u hunt for a OP item, equip it, and then use the build dictated by the item, this system is very linear (for example, d4: season 7: kessime’s legacy) is the only viable option. in d2 you could play anything you wanted, and in d2: median this was expanded upon, where u had 150 builds and not just 1 build per class that works. too bad the d2 engineers dont make the sequels, as the young engineers that make d4 dont have the mathematical prowess to achieve this. it is a foundational error. while they try to follow the recipe, they dont know how to implement it.
alternative: they need a loosely system of items.
so my experience: play necro, copy build of maxroll, get items free, and then try to progress. there is no alternative to blood wave, although the game says its style over substance and the scaling thing should work, it does not. the negro or the young engineers who made it have a several lack of comprehension of RPG mechanics. they are probably some kids with no life experience
The big difference between The Butcher and any boss from Diablo 4? I actually remember who the butcher is.
Diablo 4’s problem is that you have to beat the entire game, including the uber bosses to get any of the good loot, at which point, it’s meaningless. There is nothing left to accomplish. Unlike Diablo 2 where the whole point of loot was building a character that could even beat the endgame content.
Lmfao. Ok, so, I get that you’re a kid and all, but CRT monitors were highly subjective to background lighting. Almost every game from this era had keybinds for changing the gamma levels.
Diablo 1 – Mozart
Diablo 2 – The King
Diablo 3 – Trash
Diablo 4 – Credit Card
diablo 4 is diablo immortal polished, a mobile game.
d2r is the way to go sadge.
I would love to a have D1 remaster
3 and 4 just feel cheap somehow and superficial
A bunch of the things you mentioned about “diablo 1” were not in diablo 1. they were only in the hellfire expansion which 95% of people never had.
Diablo 1 had the most deep, intensive atmosphere. Diablo 2 one of the best games of all time. 3 and 4 are fun but too much hack n slash. More soul in 1 and 2, but I feel 4 is slightly deeper and funnier than 3. IMHO.
D2 is the best Diablo game and d2r is still the best Diablo game you can play both in modern day and retro gaming. Diablo 3 and 4 are actually pathetic when you look at the long view of the Diablo franchise and compare them all to their respective eras and limitations. Diablo 4 had by far the most potential and resources and came out the worst and it gets better for less money as you go backwards. Corporate greed gets into video games, especially big successes like Diablo, and then they destroy the IP and franchise milking them for all their worth as cash grabs while they burn them to the ground and cash out.
4
Diablo 2 is still the best. With the newest remakes graphics its awesom😊
Diablo started out really awesome. Diablo 4 ended up lame and not worth playing.
they’ve had action-RPGs since the Famicom in Japan.
this might be the first western ARPG
there isn’t a bad diablo game. i’ve played them all since 1. But for whatever reason, 3 is the one i put the most time into.
We’re not going to talk about the stash? 😂 well, it made me cackle – was watching quiet seriously so ‘‘twas a nice break for my face muscles cheers
Just finished the main campaign in D4 and I loved it, I’ve been playing Diablo since the OG game and love all 4 games.
Diablo 4 nailed it’s main campaign, they clearly took notes from the Reaper of souls and kept it streamlined and right to the point.
Now let’s see how good is the endgame, I’m excited to grind my way through the torment level…
Criticizing Diablo I because you when you die, you die 😆What a newb!
I 100% agree about hating charms in Diablo 2. There should be 4 grand charm size slots that you can fill with any combination of small to grand charm that is reserved for only charms.
a constant upgrade to graphics and qol improvements, a constant downgrade to fun and soul of a game.
Didn’t drop enough respect on d2
Diablo 2 was the best
POE2 > Diablo 4
Diablo 3 and 4 have nothing common with 1st and 2nd parts, it is an asian fancy fantasy epilepsy shooter with 1mln hit combo damage system.
1:14 classic death from spit.
Geez, even the inventory system in path of exile 2 is copied from diablo 4
Been playing since Diablo 1 on ps1
Why do you click on the potions with your mouse in D1?
Plus the music is goated perfect for the atmosphere
D2 forever the GOAT
Diablo sucks
2 was the best one.. then 1, 4, and 3 was the worst imo
Uhm, ACTSHUALLY ☝️🤓 It’s called a Tetralogy
At least your game lasted a year with it’s billionaire backers. My game with billionaire backers (that literally was made with the same concept of diablo because they took inspiration from it), is almost dead. PhantasyStar Online 2 is on life support from millionaires that like cosmetics.
I wish I could go back in time and tell everyone who thought Diablo 3 was trash in 2012 “Wait till you see Diablo 4”
Where are the PoE 2 fanboys talking trash?
I will never play the first part because my computer, although it is top-of-the-range, will not run this game and I would have to use some emulators, the only chance to play this game would be to invest in an older computer
God I loved Diablo 3 so much man. D4 is pretty fun but I don’t think I can see myself putting the thousands of hours into it like I did with D3. RoS was incredible
Diablo 4 single player in general I liked it, good story, a decent world although it could have been better, it lacked more cruelty in that world, I found the online boring, I don’t use the clans, the world bosses drop horribly, too much farming to get items for more farming, the microtransactions were the worst, and the end game was boring, few classes, no need to combine characters, like a shovel that gives you its buffs, I expected more from Diablo 4 in terms of map size and things that Diablo 3 did have.
There was a bug in Diablo 1, you can double the stat potion infinitely and max your stat at 250.
Why would you compare them to d3/d4 which are not even diablo games
My first diablo was path of exile
Game became too cartoony and goofy
Why do your D3 menus look different than mine? Lol.
Oh my gosh Diablo 2 Resurrected looks so beautiful. Why would you play anything else?
d4bad
My first Diablo game was Diablo III. I still love it, the game brings back memories. Reaper of souls was a good expansion.
I never truly got into arpgs, but i remember my older brother and dad both putting some serious time into D2 back in the day. Everyone fighting over the family pc, mom with her recipes and early blogs, me with AIM and Doom, Roller Coaster Tycoon and The Sims and my brother and father with diablo mostly. Oh and Runescape. Way too much time put into that game. I did play diablo 2 a little bit but i never put much thought into games and because of that it never seemed too fun to me. But i still bought and played Diablo 3 a little and Ive been messing around in 4 here a little bit getting it on a big Christmas sale. Ive always enjoyed the games somewhat and they can be incredible fun but something about arpgs keeps me from getting sucked in but also keeps me coming back. The gameplay and story of diablo keeps me coming back but i never did care for metas, op builds, and trying to break the game with numbers go big attitudes. I just wanna play a game for fun and looking at gear with tons of affects and stats and affixes and what goes with what and synergizing everything with spells and skill trees and boards so i can beat the endgame content faster just doesnt seem fun to me. Diablos always been fun for me but also a bit of a drag at times, ill see how far i get into 4 maybe ill finish the campaign, i doubt ill follow along with the seasons. Small chance ill follow a fun looking build for op endgame crap but its doubtful. But essentially D2 is what started my love for any kind of rpg style game. Action, linear, openworld, doesnt matter. I would love a single player offline arpg with simplified mechanics for the casual scrub like myself just to simply enjoy the game and happily rot my brain with a screen lol.
D4 seems to be very much the successor to D2. D3 felt like WOW or something.
played diablo 1 and diablo 2 as a teenager..along with age of empires II,III age of mythology, warcraft III..comandos 1,2,3..i wish i could return back to that time.sharing cds/dvds with my friends.the thrill of coming back from my school to get straight to my pc..
Diablo 2 is the best. Thank god it has remake, so I can wash the bitter taste of D4.
D1 and D2 absolute masterpieces.
D4 bad
Check the Diablo 1 HD Mod (Belzebub), a true remaster of Diablo.
No Diablo exists after D2LOD!
Diablos progression: From Hack n Slash to a Top Down Shooter.
Diablo 3 looks so bad
I felt more excited playing old Diablo than Newest D4 … I love D3 especially D2 . Atleast someone took the torch and continues to improve the game … khm Path of Exile khm ..
diabo 1-2-3 literally eats 4
d4 has awful bossfights, what are you even on about
speaking of, does anyone here want to do a full d1-d3 playthrough, up until end game. (d1 normal) d2 (normal-hell) d3 (normal-hell or whatever it was called). we aren’t playing d4, game bad.
i started with diablo 1 cause i watched my dad play it all the time (Born in 02)
Diablo 1 and 2 are still the kings of the diablo franchise.
They broke that shift+attack in place thing. No longer working 🙁 in D1
Calling diablo an rpg is a profanation. It’s just a simple LMB-destroyer, or in other words: a hack-n-slash.
Person computer most people were lucky to even have a PC when Diablo 1 came out and was likely a family shared PC.
He didn’t mention the mobile game until the last 5 seconds of the video, and it felt right. I forgot that thing even existed, hopefully they learned what NOT to do from that game.
Diablo I sort of had way points too in that every time you reached a new type of level in the dungeon you opened a new entrance from town that led to the first level of that dungeon tileset level.
If you like Diablo 1, then look for The Hell mod. It adds a lot of stuff
the most casual diablo player ever
I’ve played Diablo since it was a kid on PS1. And I’ve held off on Diablo 4 until the expansion released and have been nothing but pleased. My wife has become worried at times because of how long I’ll play. But I love the nostalgia of it. Great vid!!!!
I loved finding new spell books in D1. That was incentive enough for multiple runs a day.
don’t forget diablo immortals lol
diablo 4 butcher is basically the same as diablo 1 butcher. diablo 3 butcher had his own boss arena and everything. D3 still has the best boss fights imo (the story bosses)
Played some Diablo 4. Good so far. My first Diablo game was Diablo 1. Currently playing Belzebub and Hell mods. Belzebub is fun. Adds a lot to Diablo 1. Hell, I’ve started.
I wasn’t allowed to play Diablo I because my mom thought it was too bloody
Nothing beats Diablo 1
Trash?
I’ve only played Diablo 2 reforged and now I’m playing 4
Damn path of exile looks more like Diablo 1 than Diablo 4 does
Diablo 2 resurrected is the best by far i think
The ‘alt’ key highlights loot in Diablo I
I was out of college a couple of years when Diablo came out. I still remember the Local Area Network parties I was a part of where we would go raiding the dungeon until dawn the next day.
Opportunities of a misspent youth, I guess. 😆
D5?
Haven’t played 3 or 4 but played d2LOD for 10 years. God I loved that game.
play D2
Remember loving 1 as a kid
Here where I lived people here did not call it rpg but dungeon crawler and hack and slash -genres
Diablo 2 Remastered looks nice actually.
Diablo 2 was the most addictive game i ever played. Diablo 1 one of the darkest.
Diablo 4 no shield class. It suks
Ugh… Console player
Maybe I’m a bit late, but there’s an answer to your last question/desire: there’s a Diablo 1 hellfire remastered came out few years ago. It has several cool features, except higher screen resolution, like batch items identification, faster town movements speed etc, just to keep the original gameplay less annoying
Those Nephilem orbs in d3 were needed on console due to a programming error where console players were only doing 50% damage compared to PC.. easier to program orbs in than actually fixing the issue
I played D1, Hellfire and then D2. A LOT of LoD. I somehow couldn’t jump into candie crush saga called D3, and I’m still hesitant to visit D4. I played PoE in the “meantime” and I don’t see any advantage over it in D3 and maybe even D4. PoE looked and felt so much better than D3 even back in 2013-14, and is easily comparable to D4 from 2023-24. Currently I’m sticking to D2 remastered version, yes I’m that conservative.
who played guantlet before diablo.
Man people can say whatever they want i played all the Diablo games anf D4 is by far the best out of all them… D2 is just nostalgic none of them r bad games but D4 only lacks end game right now and this new season is complete garbage all these new changes suck… But i tried going back andnplay D 1-3 and hell na i cant play them anymore 😂😂 D4 is a good game and better then the rest if the diablo games by far.
Is there really no one bothered by the fact that during the D3 portion of the video its actually NOT showing D3?.. lmao
barb and barbarian wtf r ya rambling on aboot mate?
Diablo 2 best game. Legend.
Where is the overlay map in D4? Cmon!
I’ll never forget the Duriel and Baal boss fight in Diablo 2
D4 bad.
Diablo 2 > rest
Now we got spiritborn
I never played any Diablo games I thought I’d give it a go with this new one on PS5 . I’m loving it . Every day when I’m not working I’m on it like 5-6 hours since I bought it
Compare Diablo 3 or 4 with 2 and 1 is the same as compare Fortnite with Sim City!
D3 and D4 are actually no longer Diablo Games, especially Diablo 4 does not even have a “Diablo” Boss in a Diablo Game?! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Loved Dia2 very much, but the inventory system simply was crap.
This entire comment section is millenials/boomers wearing their nostalgia goggles, this is so funny
Wtf happened to Diablo in D3 and D4?
It does not feel like Diablo anymore.
Why is D2R look so much better than D3 and D4?
7:13 Yeah no. I was wondering why you didn’t mention runewords and crafting in D2.
Literally NOBODY calls Diablo ”Diablo 1″.
D2 and D2R represent the peak of Blizzard before they sold out. The spirit of the game continued in POE, not D3 or D4, which are simply…..inferior
Man D4 Sorcerer is such a downgrade from D3 Wizard.
D3 is not worth of its name…
need to update, diablo 4 is totaly towards d3, the expansion just made clear now, fast with trllion numbers… its d3.5, lvl scaling… they destroyied the franchise.
I love how you talk about the kids and DII and here I was an adult when DI came out. lol
Thanks for this awesome video! I did actually just buy the entire series and play through all of them all over again. Ah, nostalgia (as I scream profanities at my Diablo I character for being so slow).
Is diablo immortal a different game
Hate they DEI’d D4 so much.
I loved the grit, gore, dark atmosphere and tension and the music in Diablo 1 and 2. The pixelated graphics added to ot somehow
u miss diablo immortal
so diablo became god of war over time? 🙂
I played a tiny bit of d1 at someones house without really understanding the game.
First proper Diablo game for me was D2. And actually on a private server. Was good fun
90’s BLIZZARD was a dream come true.
Warcraft
Diablo
Starcraft
I play them all to this day
You gotta hold shift to see items laying around in D1
i remember the first time i played diablo 2, just a kid using the house computer but only me and my brother use it, i remember seeing it installed and by the name i was kinda scared of what would mean, but a feeling of trying to know what is, so with bravery i click on the game and after selecting my character it became a obsession, it was on kill monsters and getting better at it, upgrading and things that weren’t too scary from what i thought, i only beat andariel because some day i just forgot it, and now i guess i can try to end it the way i should’ve done 10 years before
D4 just doesn’t feel like a Diablo game. It feels rushed, which it was because Blizzard forced it out after players hating on them over Immortal. It’s just brown and dull… and not solo enough to feel like the old D2. I hope the next one is better, but I’m never touching 4.
1997…what a good times to play Rpg’s
played diablo 2 on pc very little and i actually enjoy a lot diablo 4 as a rogue
Diablo 1: +++
Diablo 2: +++++
Diablo 3: +++
Diablo 4: +
4 is one of the worst aRGPs ever, sorry.
Diablo 2 and always, the third and fourth are no Diablo…
Stylistically, D3 reminds me more of the Torchlight series rather than Diablo 1 and 2. It still looks fun, just a sharp left from the others.
thanks god we will have PoE2 soon
Judging just From the thumbnail? It got gayer and gayer…
Diablo 1 from ’97? More like ’95 dude
Diablo 3 is by far the worst in the series. An absolute garbage of a video game
D3: glory loot theme park. not wrong about that.
I stay with Diablo 1-HF-2
Diablo 2 had of my fav cut scenes from any game
Best games of all time: Star control 2 , Diablo 2 , WoW
Diablo 2 is my favorite. I just like how simple the skill system is, and the skill synergies they later added on. The skills feel very powerful and you do not need good gear to beat the game. diablo 3 and 4 they seemed to just focus purely on gear and the skill trees are completely different. Diablo 4 skill tree is more complicated which i dislike. Also Diablo 3 and 4 throws too much gear at you that your swimming in legendary garbage. Meanwhile in Diablo 2 I never actually obtained any good gears, so I would always get excited when I got a unique or set item even when it was not even that great. Diablo 4 I was already decked in full legendary gear before i beat the game. Also in Diablo 2 even magic and rare items can still be quite powerful and help you beat the game and the legendary and set items wasn’t always better. in diablo 4 higher rarity is always better.
Screen shot shows bad pixelation of D1 and D2 due to it being made for CRT monitors.
D3 and D4 throw skills, damage stats, gold and gear at you.
D4 is also an action focused loot pinata with visual clutter. They failed to get back to any of the things that made D1 and D2 classics, and they leaned into the mindless, speedy, trash monster killing that throws loot at you of D3. They’ve just fooled you with darker graphics.
I would like to see a remake of Diablo 1 like they did with d2r
I don’t give a flying fck about graphics. If the gameplay isn’t good and the story isn’t good I’m not touching it. There are games with 8bit graphics I love to play to this day and games with top of the line graphics I want nothing to do with.
dogshit review, dishonest about d4
Yeah dude, d4 is dogshit compare to d2. It’s obvious you are biased since you probably never played d2 much.
I’ll never play d1 and d2 poor implementation of health and mana potions
Path of Exile is free and superior to any Diablo game ever made.
I just couldn’t get into D4 for some reason. I think my biggest pet peeve is that you can’t zoom out far enough and the fact that it instantly felt like a sequel to Diablo: Immortal, which I didn’t particularly enjoy, left a bad taste in my mouth.
Stamina already regenerates when walking on Diablo 2 LOD even Resurrected wasnt released yet lol
You’re not including mods, which makes sense, but DevilutionX does modernize Diablo 1 almost up to D2 level
D2R is and will be 4ever the best, d3 and 4 is just poor boring af dog sh.t imitations of the orginal d2
D2 was my childhood. I remember my pc usually freezes the moment Diablo casts his aoe fire circle thing. Especially when im on Druid having 6 wolves on the run. Growing up with a cheap computer but it doesnt stop me from replaying the game again & again for I cant remember how long… Love every moment of it. My fav classes were : Sorc, Amazon, Necro and Druid
D4 is quickly becoming diablo 3: part 2.. really big disappointment..
started with 3 then a little of 2 and im currently playing through 4
Diablo 1 was the best
We definitely need Diablo 1 Resurrected.
I’m so happy that Diablo 2 Resurrected even exists and is as good as it is.
I mean after Starcraft Remastered and Warcraft 3 Reforged my expectations were at zero and then they come out with a masterpiece of a Remaster/Remake.
Literally grew up with Diablo.. played 1 to 4, but the most I recall in my kiddo era was D2… Finished it using a Palladin with a holy aura (i think it is lol). D1 and D2 were so tough (never finished D1 since I was like a kid who didnt have the patience back then). D3 was my game when I was kinda starting out working in corporate.. played it on and off for maybe 8 years. D4 is my current game.. a little older and richer.. I bought an rtx4080 just for D4 (coz im the drama). This franchise helped me cope with a lot of things, in fact, helped me tuned out in this crazy world one moment at a time.
Making the stash bigger was the most important evolution in these games
D3 then D4
Can Diablo II run on Win 7? How many disks come in the game? I found the Diablo II game disks, 3, but don’t know if there are more. Thank you are you the fellow who makes crazy challenges for Gray in GTA5? 😅🤣
Pretty clear Diablo 1 and 2 are so loved nowadays for bringing back childhood memories
all of them
Boomstick Gaming, I really enjoyed this video, so I hit the like button!
Diablo 1 This is the start of a New Beginning, Diablo II WOW!!! The Legend Continues, Diablo 3 What the Fuu__?! New changes no attribute points all stats are increased by items, the story ruined by a new pathetic one now only playable online on p.c? Ok then Fair Enough, Diablo IV still the same as Diablo III Overall just upgraded, the story is full of crap added new characters just for the sake of continuing the dying franchise completely removed the DNA of the Successful diablo 2 and now also not playable offline on consoles, added new Gimmicks like Aesthetics that want you to pay them separately from the game that you also paid that can only be accessed via live service only.
BLIZZARD, YOU SUCK!!!…. Diablo 2 Was the only masterpiece you ever made, what comes next dies with your corporate Greed.
Played D2 so so much, D3 like 10h, D4 for many sleepless night’s 😁
You made such an nice documentary bro. GG
I started with 1but mostly played 2
Haven’t gotten to 4 yet
Diablo 2
Certain charms are worth keeping on you imo, damage charms, skill charms and resistance charms are the best to have. My assassin and necro can do a ton of poison damage with them.
video shows comparing all games side to side in the video i did not see the side by side comparison dislike !!!
D3 and D4 dont count
The Beta backpack is the best one lol
Between 2 amd 3, years ssss
I remember these days or years
I am old, yea😂
My first Diablo was 3 but I have played D2:R and 4. Love all three of them
Diablo 2-Lod-resurected is best 😍
3 and 4 are Trash
Started with Diablo 1. Diablo 2 is truly the best. Best game ever made imo. Still play it to this day.
😁😁😁
Yet one and 2 is still a better game play.
new games are afraid to lose players thats “survival” feeling is just a nostalgia now
You didn’t rank immortal☹️
i dont care how smooth pixels can be…it doesnt matter how “real” something looks…i’d always pick gameplay, storyline and atmosphere(diablo I, diablo II)
I’m ducktaped to D2 n now D3..I remembered when I played D2 for 15hours straight almost everyday, even in the exam week😂😂 D Immortal also is a blessings we got from Blizzard..tq Blizzard for such a great game🫡
Having to reset at a save point and lack of skill tree aren’t valid complaints lmao.
I wish to live in a reality where Blizzard is a great company with a vision, and Blizzard north never left, therefore making diablo games as much of a stable series as say monster hunter or final fantasy. Don’t need a game every year, but always something to look forward to.
I can’t at all play D1. D2 blows and I’d only remembered so fondly due to nostalgia. D3 is by far the best imo, best classes, best build mechanics, best art direction, good blend of humor and “dark fantasy horror”, and its just the most fun to play. D4 is mid as hell, still better than D2, but the weird difficulty spike is annoying. I also dislike very much how you’re supposed to move around and dodge stuff, but your dodge is on a 5 second timer 😂. The world is so just a shiny version of D2, which is to say it’s boring as hell. I’ll give D4 some credit though, the story seems a bit more interesting than the others. The skill blows though and I greatly prefer D3…..also, no legendary loot yet and I’m lvl20 and started on world tier 2…….I’m annoyed by this.
Ps.
CRUSADER FTW!!!!!
Too bad the devs gimped my favorite class Druid in Diablo 2 compared to the other classes
“to see where the series has evolved”
lmao you mean devolved
D3 and d4 are gayaf nexttttttttttt
I played Diablo when it first came out. Spent everyday after school going ot my friends house taking turns playing. Was a blast. Played Diablo 2 for years. D3 on and off for a year…Diablo 4 feels like a response to Diablo Immortal “Don’t you guys have phones?” catastrophe at Blizzcon. It looks the same and it feels the same. With different levels of monetization. I loved the beta then we get the full game and got his over the head with GIVE US MORE MONEY. It really…soured the experience. Along with the nerfs well after I stopped playing.
ILL TAKE THE BAD GRAPHICS
OVER AN OBESE UGLY NOSE RING DRUID
ANY DAY
D4 IS TRASH
Diablo 3 on the PS3 and on Hardcore has that survival element (if you don’t chicken out on difficulties). There’s fewer enemies but they are more dangerous and the consequence could not be more severe. It’s honestly really tense and thrilling. It’s too bad it did not get the content past a patch or two into the expansion.
Honestly, i don’t understand why anyone would choose to play these games on softcore and at a difficulty where enemies pose no challenge. You might as well be doing office work.
Hellfire doesn’t exist. Was made by outside company. Not a real expansion. And is blasphemy.
Diablo Quadrilogy speaks for itself, from best to worst:
1
2
3
4
I have to say that I’m quite impressed with Diablo 4. The dark and grim tone of the game reminds me alot of Diablo 1. The original was dark and full of dread, a proper atmosphere for a storyline centered around fighting the forces of hell. I also like the fact that things are slowed down in Diablo 4, and are more challenging. I want to feel like I am fighting to survive and that things must be earned through hard fought battles and survival. Maybe I’m just old school but that’s how I think Diablo was always meant to feel. Diablo 2 did a great job at this as well. Diablo 3 however, felt a little cartoony. Diablo Immortal though fun, also has that lighter cartoon atmosphere to it. In conclusion, I think Diablo 4 is true to the first two games in the series and I would recommend it to any old school Diablo gamers.
Great video. Diablo 2 was amazing 😮 great nostalgia. D4 is great 😂 but i often fall asleep playing 😂
D3/D4 BAD
for me diablo II is the Best..
Diablo 1 is the best. Last Time i Play it today. I died… very Frustrating. Thats the Kick 😉
big fan of series, top 3 game with starcraft and battlefield!
Love the art style of D4 but cosmetics wise, they did druids and male sorcs dirty.
5:33 stamina regen while you walk in the original if you press r
Ehhhh…… Unless 4 has changed significantly, there was absolutely no challenge to the game except the end game loop. Which is dook. Only like 5% of players even stick around that long and even less when the rest of the game is crap and boring.
diablo 2 only took 3 years to make? wow. The most addicting game I’ve ever played and continue to play for over 20 years. Odd how a game without skins and bought XP boosters could be so fun! i wish open trading continued the same way d2 did it, nothing compares. The feeling i get when that first shako or occy drops during a ladder reset is incomparable. This game ruined my elementary and junior high school experience. i was truly an addict
remake for d1!!!!
Girls who grew up with diablo 2

My only real complaint with diablo 2 is the small inventory.. We dealt with it back in the day.. but man it would be nice to not have to teleport back to town every 3 minutes.
Diablo 3 is to colorfull.. it even has the unicorn ..
D2 resurrected is better than D4 🙁

One year later, they are still not able to produce an overlay map <.<
Great vid! I’ve been with franchise since the beginning. I think you nailed it and explained each game very well.
diablo one will always be the only one
Where can I download original diablo
diablo 3 and 4 feels like completely different games just borrowing the name of the franchise.
Diablo 2 is way better than diablo4
Diablo 1 and 2 look sooo much better than 3. Sprites can often remain ageless while clunky cartoony 3D graphics age terribly.
DIABLO 2 IS THE BEST GAME EVER MADED! 😉 best RPG EVER!
D3 is an abomination, looks like a mobile game and so cartoony what a disappointment to the franchise. Diablo 3 should have been d4.
Been playing since 97 and honestly I love Diablo Immortal right now. I do flip between D2R and 3 but Immortal is so fun and a great story line. Tons of updates to keep it fresh as well
I started playing diablo 2 then 1
D1 and D2 did things different, but they also existed in a different environment. Its not something that can ever be recaptured from the development side, because the development of the game cannot control the environment the game exists within. Early online competitive games were coming out well before any type of established communities like with the plethora of youtube tutorials. This often meant that you had to discover your own ‘meta’ to be competitive, an the only indicators you could find (without a PHD level of research through forum hopping) were the times someone else would woop you and you had to sit and wonder how their character was so much stronger than yours. Trial and error was an essential part of the process of ‘getting gud’ where now, you can blind yourself, but only to your own disadvantage. It only makes you the one blind player playing against what ever the most recent guide told them was the meta. Youll never really be able to achieve a feeling of accomplishment and being ‘genuinely’ better, more capable than other players, feeling smarter for being able to more efficiently solve the problems games were giving you is something gone to the ages forever.
“I don’t like charms” – How to say that you never played in Hell difficulty without saying that you never played in Hell difficulty
Diablo 3 number tope 1 diablo game in my hearts.
So sad they deside to cut the second extension.
I know diablo 3 might not be everyones favourite; when I saw the clip of diablo 3 I was hit with a wave of nostalgia, I wasn’t good at playing( I was like 6 or 8) so I played with my dad a lot but man I loved playing it.
after diablo2 the animations started to cover up the heroes and enemies and D4 is just pixel mud in a monochrome randomly generated wasteland… it’s meh. So much meh.
diablo2 randomly generated dungeons were peak. Down to the glass pane art… breakeable …
Forgot about mobile 😮
D3 was my first diablo game but while at the time I picked it up because of the similarities to wow with the art design of the game, I think the wow aesthetic didn’t age well with me after being introduced to d2 and d4.
Telephone? you mean smart phone.
I guess only die hard fans really hate the 4th game lol
Extremely surface level comparison, these are games centered heavily on endgame, which is the main difference between them. If the idea was to compare at a pretty casual level (say, for 1 run of 10 hours) then I get it, but that’s not what people really want from a diablo game.
Bro i downloaded diablo 2 on my phone via emulator , and was wondering why it looked better than i remember (and why the lighting was so immersive) i didn’t realise i was playing the resurrected version 😂
I started with Diablo 2 in 2000, then Diablo 3 in 2020, then Diablo 2 Resurrected in 2023, then Diablo 4 in 2024. Don’t think I will ever get around to play Diablo 1.
D1+D2 masterpieces, top Action RPGs
D3 plays more like an arcade beat ’em up loot piñata, chaining as many kills as possible together, the RPG elements are gone
D4 meh, not worth buying
I started with 3 and loved it! Then I played 2 and 4, i really like 4. Diablo 2 is slow but my favorite so far
having watching the review and listening to the part about Diablo 2 being amazing which it was, It would explain why my mom actually made me stop playing. She used the excuse that stuff like DnD was dangerous lol and took it away from me. She claimed it was the title also Diablo aka Devil and she didn’t like that lmao. She jams heavy metal so that doesn’t check out lmao. She did get me a GPU at the time so I could play but once I was hooked she said hell an lol. The good ol days.
Great video summarizing my favorite game franchise ever, beating the Witcher trilogy by only a hair. I started with D2 I think, only watched my older brother play D1 back then, when I first saw him play D2 it was in my opinion less scary than D1. Then when I bought my 1st PC after I graduated college, I played D2 again(after playing it in random internet cafes during high school, then again in college when LAN events were still a thing) then D1. D2 would be my favorite then D1, and I especially loved D2 Resurrected, the graphics update was top notch IMO.
I haven’t played 4 yet, and despite the backlash I played D3 and Immortal. I just finished Immortal yesterday in fact, after 2 years of intermittent playing. D3 was okay and Immortal was a chore for me to finish, but it had great moments. I dislike how very quick it was for me to level up in Immortal and drops or prizes were handed out to me like candy. I will buy D4 this december hopefully when the discounts take effect!
D3 LOOKS LIKE FORTNITE BOOTS ON THE GROUND WITH DEMONS!
playing on console is such a beta move. and d3 on console is trash, only on pc you can peak
D3 is dogshit
D1 is better than 4
D4 gay af
Its easy, diablo 1 was unique, then blizzard got greedy, let a bunch of essential creatives go and that fed up. Then diablo 2 came, it was good until blizzard got greedy, your CD just broke after 6 months of permanent playing and you had to buy new CDs two times a year, they also messed up the patches and now it is only alive due to the community support. Diablo 3….not much tosay about Diablo 3. Diablo 4 blizzards attempt to bring micro transdactions and ruin the playerbase after only one week, never to return to diablo 2 glory ever again.
That was so nostalgic, THANKS. I played Diablo 1,2 and now 4. It really brings to life how technology has improved. Diablo 4 has amazing graphics, cinematic and game play, great job. ALLOT of work went into this.
I remember the one when we even had to ask players with higher levels to help defeat Diablo, cannot recall which one that was in, but really love playing it then and now.
2 & 4 masterpieces i dont want know anything about 1&3
Completely changed…? How much more insulting and ignorant can you even get? For one thing, it devolved RPG genre into an offshoot button mash sub genre. Greatly popular sub-genre, granted, but that’s it. For the other… for the other… THERE IS NO OTHER!
Who the f… play sorc in Diablo 1 with out mana shield? LAME
And… If U play on multi (u can play single multi) dead is like D2
Were the hidden characters in Hellfire meant to be found? Was it really “part of the game” to edit files haha. Or was it like unfinished characters
Hmmm, diablo 4 and unpredictable dungeons, are speaking about same game?
I’d rather play solitaire than Diablo 4.
Diablo 4 sucks
1 and 2 are the best. The rest is bullshit
my favorite artstyle is still Diablo 3.
its so colorfull, so pleasant to look at.
D1 and d4 is awesome
i started with diablo inmortal cus it’s free😔 not a bad game though
Misss❣️
My first diablo game was diablo 2 and i got into diablo because of my Mom xD. I love the game but i think diablo 4 is missing something, it just doesn’t feel like there is alot to do in the game
I thought diablo 3 was bad but gosh it is a completely ass smeling joke
I love sprites and hate polygons in this game
I started with Diablo 1 on PC and every Diablo game after including expansions
diablo 4 is ass, it is a cesspool of microtransactions and the devs favorite thing to do is nerf everything and keep it that way for no balance.
^real ass comment im 100% serious
1 and 2 hd is the best, i waitting on diablo 1 HD
i started with d played d2 basically never stopped i tried d3 it was trash and d4 when it first came out was trash and i just went back to d2r which is easily the best diablo
I’m a 43 yo kid, and I used to play the first Diablo online… I had a clan on it and lived one of my best gaming moments of life before the coming of mmo’s (ultima online, dark age of camelot and WoW). Played all Diablos by now and this video is really well done. Good job!
As someone who never played D2 until the remake I can say it holds up extremely well. One of the best ARPGs ive ever played
graphs, graphs and graphs zzzzz
Diablo 3 was one of the greatest video game disappointments ever, just behind fallout 4
console D3 was my first experience with the franchise so seeing that UI was a big nostalgia hit for me, good video
I start in D1 on ps1, than buy d1 for PC then go to battle net and make a lot of friends and lern how to pvp. PVP in D1 was best PVP in entire series. now in 2024 i start to play d1 on the hell 2 mod. D2 was new jurney, i back to d2, pvp was not as good as in d1 but players made some rules that makes all class with all build worth to play pvp. D3 makes me fall asleep whiel making 100+ rift, pvp was bad. trading items almost unable, but you can play hc and makes ranks. And D4 sadly there is no point to play after you finish the story. PVP is same bad as in D3 skills are bad.
Almost got banned at home because of the fact that there’s a Demon name on the game and parents is religious as hell 😂
Looting endless worthless items is so much better than charms. 😒 Diablo for PsOne was my 1st.
Rune words c’mon man.
Been playing since diablo 1, when I was a small bean. Faithfully been playing diablo for over 20 years, and I’m only 27 😂
diablo iv is reskinned path of exile.change my mind.
Diablo 1 is my favorite. I played it when it came out
I was a Sophomore Engineering student when D1 came out. Loved it! Standing in the doorway of a room full of what ever while they died at the end of my sword or arrow, loot and items piling up on the floor was the best! The down side? This game single handily reduced the number of engineering students by about 10% due to its addictive nature. Cocaine has a less negative impact. As a 46 yo I’m taking a strong look at 4. Played 3, but while “better” was not the same as the original. Never played 3.
Diablo 4 did sorcerer so bad, I always played that class and loved it since D1-D3. play style is good but abilities design seems to be lacking details and look boring mixed with shitty
What’s with the shitty movie music in the later games? Bring back the music from Diablo 1 and 2.
Honestly I wish people would stop comparing diablo games. One is no better or worse than the other, they are their own games in their own respect; different builds, different classes and different playstyles. The one thing that stays fluent is the lore and story progression itself. EVERY diablo game is its own game. In my opinion they are all good, “in their own way.” There is something for everyone in every game, if you don’t like one over the other then go play the one you like the most.
Diablo 1 – Can’t help but to find it the best of them all.
It was a much more humble game, but, I feel diablo 2 and following just drifted elsewhere…
Diablo 2 is a really good game, but, it doesn’t have the same atmosphere of diablo 1.
I could not care less for anything beyond diablo 2
for me diablo 2 was the best game.
Diablo 4 is like another starwars movie, rebels fight same empire again and again and again. The game does not make anything better, my first impression was that it was downgraded Diablo 3.
Diablo: the game
degradating since 2000
Diablo 2 was the best arpg ever! I remeber playing with crazy lag on the crappiest entry level pentium 1 in the universe. Those were the days.
Diablo 1 and 2 was cool because all classes could use all equipment.
I had to double check that Diablo 2 only came out 3 years afterwards, I remember there being a huge wait between the two and being frustrated by the constant release date setbacks, haha.
You are supposed to use your ears to hear the loot drops in diablo 1. So you know if you need to search + you can zoom. But yeah, searching for that one Ring for 5+ minutes is a thing 😀
Nice video.
Great video! I started with D2LOD and I’ve played it more than any other Diablo game. I think D4 is bad down to it’s basic design. It doesn’t feel darker when everything is flashing and emitting text. You can turn off a lot of that, and it feels kinda lifeless. The colors of the enemies and attacks don’t pop off of the ground in the dungeons. The gear doesn’t feel complex because everything revolves around gambling gold and craft items and obols and whatever else. It’s not actually crafting imo. And to put a battlepass into a game that is built around seasonal progression, and a cosmetic shop when getting progressively cooler gear is also the point.
I’m playing D2R until POE2 comes out.
hot take; Diablo 3 is better then 4 even in artstyle.
Unpopular opinion but Diablo 1 and 2 are the best.
there is only diablo 1,2,3 only.
Definitely D1 at my friends house Saturday night with 4 players networked together and all night session.
Easily the kindest to Diablo 4 video I have ever watched.
did he just say “Lords of destruction”??
D2, D1 then the rest doesn’t matter cuz they are crap
you can tell this is coming from the perspective of a console player.
Diablo 3 is better than 4.
D2 was the one and only Diablo! Everything after it was dump
Diablo 2 Resurrected is Peak Diablo. Diablo 3 & 4 don’t feel like D2.
1 and 2 were the best games, 3 and 4 eh
Great review can’t believe how underrated the last 2 games have been…THEY LOOK GOOD & ARE FUN!
Diablo 1 was the best.
Imagine you have 100points and you use 4 skills at lvl 1 or 2 when you reach cap coz 90 points went to get the 4 spells you use 😂 diablo 1 read books lvl spell😅
I loved diablo 1 more than another diablo 2 was an improvement in graphics but after diablo 1 spell system in diablo 2 suked D1 was more scary too later version is so boring D4 sux @zZ drops so pathetic and only dungeons after story mode and you are punished for doing side quests 😅
The thing that D3 and 4 are only online sucks, it is not worth suporting something that you cant play without additional services, for a game that costs that much i would expect being handled a lot different, thats why Blizzard lost of a lot gamer support, the games may be good but the way it is distributed is not.
diablo died after 2d lod
d3 and d4 are just random hack and slash games wearing diablo’s skin.
11 years to create a flop lol
In my eyes every step was in the wrong direction.
Diablo 4 sucks
Micro transactions and season passes are not for me
Roll on today and Resurrected Has a bigger player base and 4 seems to be a flop
D1+hellfire: great, to this day ,dunno why but its my favorit diablo, can play and play and play (best with friends)
D2: playing is fun, lvling is fun, trying different builds is fun
D3: “meh” its okay
D4: ….i want my 80 bucks back!
Man, do you have one of the most boring cadences to listen to. Hype it up a lil bit buddy boy, you’re talking about Diablo.
Unfortunately, by the transitive property of graphics improving, the plot has gone a similar distance in the other direction.
I only played diablo 3 and 4. Diablo 4 is a scandel scam of product but i love diablo 3, havent played D1 and D2 so cant say anything
D4 looks amazing to me with one huge problem – the plot. Lilith and Inarius have always been a great couple of 2 brave and wise beings who were tired of war and stood up against Heaven and Hell all alone and created the new world where they and their children could live in peace. They were one of my favourite couples in videogames history. Even Boss and Naked Snake (sorry, Kojima-san) weren’t so awesome compared to them. But D4 writers turned this two amazing beings into b*tches. Inarius is a whining one unable to take responsibility, Lilith is an insideous one, plotting some crap from the start instead of peace etc. 😭😭😭
Diablo 4=Trash
D2 still the best, especially with the remake.
6:00 duuude you have no idea how powerful charms can be. And as the game goes by you need to pick up less and less stuff so it’s ok to trade some space for a bunch of life, resists, damage or other stats
diablo 1 by far the best out of these, and the series got progressively worse with each installment, and it crossed a threshold that can never be uncrossed at 4. diablo 4 is unplayably bad.
From D1 to D2 in 3 years they have done to much from that point you understand the involvement and hard work input. D3 was a new IP that’s why was so famous, but 3 years later numbers started to drop cause give player the feeling playing wow with that graphic engine. D4 felt play D3 with skins like D2 resurected sort-off, in-game content some new and some the same a lot of aspects copyed and paste from D3. D4 said back from old roots I don’t think so, is not even close what they achieved and work input in D2.. so my fair conclusion .. Diablo francize has gone money grabbing since immortal and they try to do so with other janras.
Diablo 1 comes at first place, and the second gets the second place UNTIL throne of baal, a horrible expansion that started the death of this game serie.. the farming, the seasons, the events.. diablo was a perfect single player game, and as with all single player games they suck when played multiplayer. Every game in the world should just go single player.
Diablo>Diablo2>>Diablo3>>>Diablo4
Diablo 2 is the best
D3 was my first diablo. I didnt like D4 at first but im glued to Season 2. I have recent bought D2R and D1 to play through and am looking forward to that
Started with D3, then I tried D1, D2, replayed D3 and finished D Immortal while waiting D4 to release. Funny enough I found D1 to be my favourite and had more fun in Immortal than I had with D4.
“The deeper gear systems of the later games”
Brother, you must not have played thousands of hours of D2 ladder
It’s great this video exists, loved the humour throughout.
A few notes though:
– very surprised you used console gameplay for Diablo 3. It’s barely recogniseable, looks like a game from an indie dev made for cheap phones that have no gfx power. Diablo 3’s act 1 is one of the coolest gaming experiences I’ve had. Strongly suggest it on PC, graphics are great even after all these years (on PC).
– a slight suggestion for your own gaming experience – Diablo 4’s bosses were made either by a lifetime lazy person or a child who eats crayons before and after dinner. I strongly suggest trying Path of Exile or putting Path of Exile 2 on your wishlist and jumping in, once it’s released. Those are the original developers of Diablo IIRC, who split and made their own game. It’s fantastic.
Diablo 2 LoD.
Cool video man
Instead of D3 d2r is more appropriate. Im not a D3 hater but you got to admit its the odd one out in the series in terms of art direction.
Diablo 4: installation, game 5 days, uninstallation.
Diablo 1 +2 : installation, playing for 25 years.
D2 was my first, D3 was my favorite.
Diablo 2 was the best imo. Later diablo games might have added more content, and removed some of the minor annoyances, but it didn’t necessarily mean they were more enjoyable to play. Diablo 1 is still fun as it’s short, simple, and the random dungeon and quest generation means you get a slightly different experience every time. Despite that, I am enjoying Diablo 4 at the moment with friends. They are putting more effort into the story this time around, and the atmospherics capture the original Diablo much more than Diablo 3 did.
Diablo 1 was my first. In order, D2, D1, D3 and D4. Ultimately D4 is crap.
Nothing beats diablo 1 chain lightning
Diablo 2 is the ONLY good one. Path of Exile is better than all four of them and POE2 is going to absolutely destroy all four of them.
The reason most people don’t play D1 is because it’s slow and incredibly hard.
Most gamers are too pussified.
Diablo1 overkills the others
Played Diablo 1 on PC when it came out, especially great on LAN with a friend. Yes, I’m old. Diablo 2 is the best IMO, and especially now that it’s remastered. Can’t stop playing it. D3 is just a dumb Disneyland’s haunted house. D4 is microtransaction Hell, too bad.
I would just like to point out over 20 years ago and we had more than 12 character limit names on an origional IP, but NOT TODAY! 0:46
Butcher pretty much still just swings crazily at you. And I started at D1 too.
This video was made without getting to Uber Lilith for sure!
When 14 to 15 years old, I started playing diablo II. lv. 99 Barbarian. Already ended Hell diffilculty.
Now Im 31, playing Diablo II Resurrected.
Already lv. 36 entering Act V guys.
The background music so nostalgic 😊.
d2 > d1 > d3 > d4
,,i dont like charms”… noob, even double noob, as i see you play on console.
ps1 Diablo 1. Town BGM is very memorable. struggle walk on isometric eight direction. so hard for me back in the day, but fun play with my friend.
Visit this video and now checking your channel.
Diablo 2 > Diablo 1 > Diablo 3 > Diablo 4
Diablo 1 is my first game, I still have the original install disk in CD for PC. Remember I was 12 years old when I began playing diablo 1.
Remember! : There is no cow level
i would just like that Diablo 4 has the same item drop system like in diablo 2, in diablo 4 there is just to many rare and lagendary drops
Hands down Diablo 2 is the best forever❤… every aspect rocks… best soundtrack… best levels… best characters… and best Deckard Cain… Stay a while and listen😂
Big missed opportunity to talk about the itemization of each game, one of the keystones
D2R is my favorite and D2 was my first
Loki almost Greek
Replaying D2 (I haven’t played the newer ones yet), while it is an amazing game for its time, I have a couple of criticisms: the town portals basically kill the game’s sense of danger. The inventory is small and loot is plentiful so I constantly find myself going back to town to identify and sell everything. You can put basically all your points in one skill and all the active skills compete for casting time/mana (since there are no cooldowns), so you’re incentivized to dump all your points into 1-2 skills that you then spam for the rest of the game, which is repetitive and lacks depth. I wish I knew a ARPG that has WOW’s mechanical complexity and a real sense survival-horror, because D2 lacks both.
If you have never played the Diablo saga and want to start from the first one I recommend playing the Beelzebub remaster version, then the Diablo 2 resurrected (Diablo 3 and the new Diablo 4)
I remember I got introduced to Diablo by randomly stumbling upon Diablo 3 on the ps3 in a charity shop and thinking it looked cool.
This is an awesome video. Good job on this one.
I’d love to see a similar one on Baldur’s Gate.
D4 conclusion didn’t age well (as of November, 2023)
the telephone one kekw
Diablo 2 is still in my personal top 10 games of all time list. It’s almost perfect.
So good how they turn back from Diablo 3 aesthetic. Didnt like that World of Worldcraft flashy style. Diablo has to be dark as darkness can be man
Diablo started awesome, and now it is trash.
This video didn’t age well, just like D4 didn’t. 😂😂😂
Was there a game called “Diablo 1”? I think not. I think the name is “Diablo”.
Diablo 3 was so bad a game
Man being a kid and playing diablo 1. Such good times! Holy cow seeing the menu brought back memories I forgot i had
Bro, I didn’t even know there was a remaster for D2! xD I’m living under a rock. Damn. I’m getting this remaster right now.
Diablo 1 is the best all new Diablo suck
I never played Diablo 2, I went straight from 1 to 3, 3 was such a joke just running push some buttons everything dies I wish they would redo d1
Why did you include the two latest games theyre worthless
Old Timer and Gamer (yes I played pong in the 70s): Diablo 1…. games back then were mostly free of political garbage (though Hillary tried in the 90s to gather support for “removing violence in video games”) << never liked her
I was one of those kids who played Diablo 2 like crazy online (at least until my house got a phone call during a Baal run and kicked me offline). But I played pretty much consistently from like 2002 till 2008, and I still managed to graduate high school with a 3.0…. barely.
Diablo II all the way-
diablo 4 suck ass
i was looking at Diablo III in this video and thought “what the hell am i looking at?” until i realised it is the playstation version. Which looks kinda clunky. Must be a lot harder to play
charms are legendary
nice stash
ooohhh D1 is very easy lol to hit and GGs
DickHard for the win
Diablo 4 kinda sucks. There’s really no soundtrack at all. Every single dungeon/opponent feels the same. All the loot looks the same on your guy. You constantly grind to get stronger and find better loot but if never actually feels like you make progress to getting better. You button mash the same 4 combos every time. It’s sooooo meh. The progression system is fucked.
My dude can’t even get the Diablo II LOD name right 🙁
D4 dungeons unpredictable MY ASS!
5:47 Stamina would also Regen in the original Diablo 2. But you would have to stop walking and start again.
If you went from running to walking, and kept walking after running out of stamina, it would stay empty. As long as you stopped walking for a microsecond, you could regenerate your stamina, WHiLE walking.
please STOP saying AI when there is no actual AI involved. Call em someting like Bots or NPC if you need to keep it short.
Always hears about diablo’ didnt play it intil one day i seen it on the app store played it loved it and said if this is good’ i need to see what the actual games were like and i been hooked to 3 and 4 i have 2 but didnt like it much feels a bit slow
Diablo 1 was the best imo.
Super nostalgic! Started with D1. I was in the third grade 😂
3:00 Manual save is the best thing in games dude!
Stamina had always regen when u walk.
I`M NOOB :((
how positive this video is of D4 puts it in such a specific point in time, haha.
😂. Diablo 4 is crap mate. Tf you talking about.
Diablo 1(including Hellfire) & 2 (including LoD) anyday. The rest sucks. I’d love to see D3 by Blizzard North. Screwed Vivendi Games for killing Blizzard North potential
diablo 4 sucks diablo 3 sucks
diablo is the best
still remember the first time i played diablo 2 on a windows 98, time fly..
Bro nice video, but.. when play d1 sorceror just fireball the sh1t out of that dung 🙂 not charged bolt ^^
Jesus you play it on cotroller… Don’t review Diablo games if you are playing on controller, and havent even lived that times.
You forgot to click hardcore when creating your character
Started with diablo 1. Played it a ton. Diablo 2 I was around 15 and played it probably the most. In 20s played d3 maybe as much as D2 but D2 has the most lasting impact with me by far. D1 was great due to the simplicity of descending lower and lower and the dark undertone as well as sounds were just crazy
D2 still remains the best one for me. No need for all millions of numbers in the screen either, I wanna see all combat effects, not numbers everywhere. Lol
D4 is a utter complete failure
I spent 5-6hrs a
Day for months on Diablo 2
Diablo 4 lasted 2 weeks and I put in in my drawer and never want to play it again
Diablo 2 is the heavyweight champion
I have only played Diablo 3 on the PS4
I played everyone of them right from the beginning. The franchise started to stumble with D3, when greed screwed up the game! Years afterward, D3 is now the game to play. If they only had this when they released. Diablo Immortal? Pay for play? D4? we all had so much hope for this game, and I have paid extra to get all the thrills and frills. Somehow, after you solve the initial game and advance in tier 4. This game stops becoming fun. You grind and grind and don’t find anything worthwhile. Every new patch nerfs your build. Within three months, the number of users and players have dropped to a few hundred from when it released it was millions of players. There are more players on Diablo 3 now in September 2023 then there are in Diablo 4. Developers don’t really even know the flow of their own game and how players play their game. Developers weren’t fans of the game like us and led by greed biz execs. Now the greed has destroyed D4, I hope all the leadership that created this mess are terminated. I hope like Diablo 3, It will correct itself in seasons, maybe a a year or two years from now?
You would imagine a Franchise that lasted over 27 years ago, developers would have learned how to balance profit with player experience by now.
d4 is 1:1 wolcen. *puking*
to be honest, diablo games is about lore, if you finish the games, it wont give much anything except the feels of curiosity how to end the game with other classes, what happen if i use other build on certain classes like back to old days playing inteligence build on barb but later you regret it so much. but yeah, thats how it is now. to me, after trying beta test, i dont feel much about playing d4. and watch my friend playing it, makes me feel glad for not buying it. or maybe, i am the type that dont give a fk about late game.
annoying charms? runegrind? lame runeword only gear? – play d2r classic hardcore ladder instead
26 years and KFC Sandwiches man … HAhah
Diablo 1
I recommend downloading the *Belzebub Mod for Diablo 1,* it’s basically a remake that fixes the games pacing and structure. Tying all the games missions together, with a few additions and alterations into a complete story that’s aligned with progression. As well as gameplay and quality of life improvements.
It the *Project Diablo 2* for Diablo 1.
Play the base game first, if you haven’t already. For the experience. Get a good feel for it. Complete it if you want. But I guarantee, you’ll prefer Belzebub.
for me diablo 1 is the best in terms of simplicity and the feeling it gave the players.. there is this eerie scary and uncomfortable vibes roaming deeper and deeper into the cathedral. Also the feeling of hopelessness is terrifying.. and the sounds… just wow
My first Diablo game was Diablo 3! I loved it. Bought the remaster of Diablo 2 but haven’t played it yet. I’m waiting for Diablo 4 to go on sale to buy it and give it a go, since I only play through the campaign once and consider it finished.
0:49 i miss those graphics
Man I absolutely hate the look of Diablo 3, it looks just like any generic dungeon hack n slash game. For me, a huge appeal to Diablo 1 and 2 were the realistic and gruesome visuals. I figured Diablo 3 would be the same but I couldn’t get over the cartoon graphics, messy UI and easy difficulty. Diablo 4 looks good but man does it look like a boring game and predatory game.
played 1 & 2 and i was playing Path of Exile when diablo 3 came out.
Diablo 1 makes me fall in love with RPG gaming and then the rest is history.
My feeling about Diablo 123 was no changed. but with Diablo 4, i cant keep playing more than a week, i tried to come back to play again and again but always failed. what a failed game!
The X button HUD in Diablo III on PS4 feels Soo wrong and seem to be X button of Xbox controller
I started with diablo 2 trial, and then i brought the lord of destruction expansion set, its such a fav of mine that i cannot even move on to 3 or 4
Lilith will drink your pee
Quadrilogy? There are only 2 Diablo games !
I started with d3, i love that game, i’m brazilian and it was the First game in brazilian portuguese that i have ever played, before it was common
Diablo 4 sucks huge ass
Diablo 2 continues to remain a favorite for me. I can still find new items, having played since 2003.
If diablo 2 resurrected had couch co-op it would be perfect.
My like diablo 2 lord of destruction
10:15 that is what made the butcher so memorable and terrifying. If you were not ready for it he would get you and you will not beable to to move. These newer Diablos are a real bore to me. My kids also find Diablo 3 boring and a waste of time.
D2 was just something special that won’t be recreated
Diablo I, The first multiplayer game I played in 1997. I played as a warrior, while a friend played as a sorcerer and a girl played as a Rogue. The thrill and excitement I felt back then is something I haven’t experienced again, even today.
hey alex, damn nice video. i started with d3 but i guess im gonna play d2 now keklmaololbbqmyplacesunday@8
It’s funny that d4 boss fights are “better”. Essentially what the developers did was to make the boss retarded so they constantly used big sweeping attacks that hit no one.
my first was the PS1 version of Diablo 1, then my sister and her husband got me the PC Battlechest and gawd I gave like 6 months to D2 straight; making the best effort to complete base D2 Hell before installing LoD. D3 released around my birthday so I had the CE of it and still love playing it on PS5 now. Even got my mom into playing D3. I tried Diablo: Immortal but it saddens me there’s a solid game hidden underneath all the predatory practices which ruin it and I also got D2R on both PC and PS. Finally, after being on the fence until Open Beta I got the full D4 and despite the issues it has, I still have tons of fun playing it
The original stamina system would regen while walking before the remake came out.
D2 does drop more gold and stamina potions so theres that.
Started with diablo 1 on … playstation. A few months later got my mind blown by the pc version.
Diablo 4 is scum
Diablo is not an rpg.
D4 bad
I’ve never eaten a kfc sandwich
My only complaint of Diablo 4 was the soundtrack, it just is nowhere as good as D2
I’m still relatively new to Diablo, I remember my uncle playing it on his PC when I was younger but it never peaked my interest until my wife got me into D3 I’m now starting to understand the mechanics a bit more and really getting into it, I know a lot of people don’t like D3 but I love the colors and the story.
I like 3 the most. 4 is alright, feels more like immortal 2.0 than i would have liked but it is what it is.
The file manipulation for those last 2 Hellfire classes was because they weren’t completed and dropped from the final product. The code was left in so they could be enabled, though. But that’s also why they don’t have unique graphics for those two.
( Also, pedantic jerk mode: Diablo 2’s expansion is Lord of Destruction. Singular It’s the end boss’s title. 😉 )
Diablo 2. Addictive
Immortal is not here, BUT TO BE HONEST DIABLO IMMORTAL DOSENT EVEN FEEL LIKE A D GAME
@6:00 in d2:Lod stamina will regen while walking. You have to pause though after running is force-stopped.
So you could never get gold on Diablo one. I used to make so much gold I had to throw stacks of 50 thousand on the ground bc u can’t hold more then 50k coins had 20 plus stacks. I grew up playing Diablo one and two. I used to play Diablo one online believe it or not tons of people played
Fond memories of countless hours of D1 and D2 multiplayer with my then girlfriend (now wife) back then.
I remember Diablo 1 looking soooo much better than that 😂 That looked like a 1980s Zelda game. I could have swore the graphics were much better. I haven’t played it since it came out though. I’m going to say it’s a Mandela Effect that it looks like that now.
I started with Diablo 1 with the Hellfire expansion and it stands as my “go to” whenever I feel the need to dungeon crawl and slay villainous creatures. I played D 2 a while ago, but don’t remember too much about it. I played the Necromancer and really enjoyed the character. I’ve been hankering to try it out again with the D2/D3 combination that is offered on the Blizzard site. Not sure if I should just skip and go right to 4 or stick my original plan (D2/D3). I LOVE D1…which one (2, 3, or 4) gives the player the closest to the D1 experience?
No mention of median xl are you serious….
Diablo 2 is still my favorite, also what I started playing. I did watch over other peoples’ shoulders playing D1. Diablo 4 doesn’t have the OP ramping that one might expect. = Poor barbs and sorcs.
I have a hard time calling 3 and 4 the same as 1 and 2. These games have two different teams ones blizzard North and ones blizzard South. Totally different design philosophies and you can see why one and two aged a lot better
Even streamers of rescind are boycotting the game because of how boring it is
My dad make me discover diablo ll and its the only game i have finish with him. my brother was here too
3:28 “Do you have the Power to let Power go?”
“A stache”
I played Diablo II almost non-stop from 2000 to 2015. Even when I played WoW I played Diablo II on the side. I never played D3 or D4. Call it a talent I have, no offense to anyone out there, but I could tell from looking at screenshots, I knew D3 & D4 was going to be no good.
My first was Diablo 3
For me Diablo 4 is something between Diablo 2 resurrection and Diablo 3. Diablo 4 is not so dark but not so colorful more adult. But i vote for DIABLO 2 RESURECTION
D1 was my fist d2 rocked it. D3 is a joke d4 is a omegalawl failure
i only see 2 diablos here and 2 mockeries
What are your thoughts on Path of Exile?
for me it’s diablo2, the joy of finally finding that unique item youv been searching for 2 months.
Started with 1. Spent tons of time on D2 throughout my teens and I’ll still go back every once in awhile in my mid 30s. Spent a good amount of time on 3 when RoS came out. Liked it for the most part.
I’m well into D4 now and without a doubt, it’s my favorite. Not perfect, but none of them are. However they’ve always aged well years after release with patches big updates and seasons, so I’m stoked with how much better D4 could become.
Plus, Mommy.
d4 is terrible
what are your grafix settings in diablo 4 that your game looks so insanly good? Oo or is that console?
It should never have been called Diablo 4. Something like “Lilith – The breed of Mephisto” with the sub/series title “From the Book of Diablo” would be better. The sinister atmosphere isn’t there, not even Diablo itself isn’t there. That was the last €100 I gave to Blizzard. In addition, the server performance (EU) is bad. Actions are not accepted, rubber banding and more destroy the fun of the game. Unfortunately, Blizzard hasn’t been doing a good job for years.. (btw: You forgot Diablo Immortal)
Diablo 1 is my first diablo i just finished and will be playing the rest in order. For who ever decides to play Diablo 1 for the first time or even to relive i suggest you play the PC version and not the PS1 version cause those loading screens were just too much for me but it was a great game
The dungeons in Diablo 4 are not randomized. The events, monsters and boss might be randomized [*for nightmare dungeons], but the map is static.
Why are you buying potions in Diablo 1 when you can just dupe them?
I installed Diablo on every computer I had access to at my elementary school. For people who have picked this up already, why do I see so much hate for 4?
The transformer movies became much better when the speed of everything became realistic. i am feel diablo iv is failing in design, because it is just flashy crap everywhere at 200 mph, the speed that the effects cross the screen and enemy movement speed is pretty close where it needs to be, except for smooth movement and clunkyness especially in the playable character. Also ALL characters in the game should be playable. This is 2023 cannot we make a better game, a better movie? You must capture movement and scenes that hold up well, not just pretty stuff and it all moves reaL sped up. Let me help , i am. i am shall shew thee.
Not a fan of how dazzling the graphics are becoming. On D4 co-op most fights are just neon flashes and swarms of numbers!
Also miss that early game stage that D1 had. Sword or club vs. skeletons? 🤔
On D4 I had mainly magic items just over 30 mins in!
Diablo 4 is fun but the itemization is too lackluster, already went back to D2 for my fix.
Diablo 4 is just a shiny diablo 3. People will realise it
D2 is best in slot
You described my childhood 99% accurate with your D1 & D2 synopsis!!!! Been playing them on and off since release. Diablo 3 and 4 should have stayed as a dark survival ARPG like 1 & 2 were but expand the story line. Diablo 4 did a great job getting back to its roots but I do miss the survival aspect of the game. Those death penalties from 1 & 2 could be rough and it made the game more exciting and I wish they had kept that.
oh yeah I forgot all about D2’s companion system. I never really used it, but it could be interesting to bring back.
They should had keyboard and mouse on console
Never played Diablo until I got Diablo 4
man making video just to flex his mustache
Regen while while walking in d2 isn’t new
D1 + D2 > anything else that claims to be Diablo today
idk about all of you but D3 is just better
i think diablo 4 really hit the nail on the head with this one. I love it
lmao @ Diablo 3 being “Hot Topic” dark
Diablo 2 for ever in my heart, I still remember all the songs and the atmosphere. I think I must have finish the game 200 times or more… I was obsess with it. My whole childhood…
Love love love ❤
d2-lod is still wanna best, it took d3 years of patches to make it as good and fun.
d4, right now, is more of a faux RPG out to vacuum u’re money. – but hey, have fun.
I like how you mention the old Butcher fight being him just whacking at you until you die, when Butcher is back again for D4 and literally just chases you down to whack at you until you die.
Diablo 4 is a nasty satanic story line. The others were not near as raunchy as this one. Game play is ok, spells suck and it glitches a lot.
D2 epic soundtrack and the horror of facing the Butcher with Physical immunity as Paladin
this stays extremely superficial. one can tell that you didn’t really play Diablo 2 (LoD), cause that one definitely has the best itemization and RNG system that was ever created.
Diablo 1 scares me. I can’t even watch videos about it.
My very first Diablo game was Diablo 2 LOD when I was 8 years old. My older brother got me into it. I played it with him like crazy. We played whenever we had free time. It’s my favorite game in the series. I also have it on my laptop.
I played Diablo 3 on his computer the same year the game came out. I didn’t like it. It felt weird.
I have never played Diablo 4. I didn’t even know it existed until I watched this video.
Man i love the graphics of diablo two, everything seems so cartooney nowadays
It’s hard to tell, but it doesn’t seem like you’re old enough to have started with Diablo 1. You don’t even sound like you’re in your late 20s let alone mid 30s. I might believe Diablo 2.
You forgot to include Diablo Immortal. Wow you should be ashamed of yourself.
Diablo 4 is a masterpiece
The survival aspect of Diablo 1 and 2 were so crucial to the series and I feel like that was lost with 3 and 4. You felt a rush of adrenaline in dungeons trying to stay alive, knowing that if you died you would have to restart back at your last save point. In D3 and D4, dying is completely inconsequential.
I’ll never forget playing diablo 1 on my windows 95 desktop while watching og adult swim all night in middle school.
“Stay a while and listen!”
I’m gonna kindly ask that we don’t refer to the 90’s as “the 1900’s”, please. At least not for another 30 years.
Milk toast fence sitter
D2 is the only one I’ve played – Missed D1, skipped D3 but looking forward to D4.
nothing competes with diablo 2
D2 is classic for sure in my heart! All those hours spent!
diablo 1 was my first and my favorite out of all is Diablo 2 i think its a masterpiece but Diablo 4 is defiantly second could be first later down the road we will have to see. 🙂
I started playing Diablo II 3 days ago for the first time. I’ve never played any Diablo games before and I find it quite fun. I think it aged well
This video is bad. I’m a minute in and it’s just an annoying amount of references.
I still like 1 more than 4. 4 is pretty good. But 1 should have been a rogue like. You can feel it in its veins and it needed it. Still despite it’s age, what an amazing game.
Diablo 2 >>> Diablo 1 >>> Diablo 4 > Diablo 3
A stache 😂 oh man this video is sooooo good. Definitely need to check out more of your stuff
So crazy how easy it is compared to older titles. D4 is button pushing simulator
d2 is the best
The atmosphere and eerie loot music in Diablo 1 is still one of the best gaming experiences of all time. D2, was okay, D3 was just bad. D4 is great so far.
the butcher still the same since d1 dude scary
Back in the day 3 years was a LONG time for a sequel. It felt like forever…
Only five fraction class in Diablo IV compare to Diablo II seven. In III 5 + 2 with expansions.
If it is only five class on Diablo IVthey should had like 3 sub category.
Melees :Barbarian, knight, elf
Hunter (distance): Barbarian, knight, elf
Mage: human, elf, necromancer
Assasins: //—//—//
D2 cow level with sorceress with iceball! (the best)
D3 was/still is underrated compared to the others.
i have only played the 4th game no idea why i didnt play the previous ones i always followed the lore wich imo is one of the best game storytelling there is (blizzard am i right) diablo 4 completely hooked me this game is better the almost anyother i played the last few years and no buggy launch aswell
For Consoles you start out as Diablo 1 Diablo II Resurected 3 and 4. Of those if you are looking for a 3-4 player group share the same TV screen go with Diablo III which was my favorite to play. Diablo 4 cross play on and you can do it as 2 pc players with the other 2 being on Console sharing the same tv screen and if you want 4 player Diablo 4 run console get the game for cross generation that way two players are on gen 8 others are on gen 9
The small jokes sprinkled throughout the video was key lol 😆
My first Diablo game was 2 in the eary 2000s. I was totally addicted for years. When D3 came out I switched, but returned to D2 until Reaper Of Souls came out. Diablo 4 ist nice, good gameplay, nice graphics and a good story. I love the gameplay, the feedback when you hit enemies and the fact that its much harder than D3. I play it a lot and it has the chance to become the king of the diablo-games. We will see what will happen. Diablo 2 + LoD will always have a very special place in my heart!
IMO D2 is still the best.
granted I played only few hours of D4, I have mixed feelings.
– no palladin or equivalent? wtf?
– mobs level scalling, so you can no longer really feel your power by breezing through an area that gave you real trouble when you were lower level.
– keeping the same skills from start to finish. this is subjective, but I was always excited when I could replace my current main ability with a better one at higher levels.
– rare/unique items lack real beefy stats they could get on D2. now its always 2% of this, 3% of that, and only on vulnerable non-elites blablabla. making them feel more bland tbh.
– too much class-specific gear. I really like the builds you could come up with with some imagination in D2. archer palladin? why the hell not.
– screen readability. its somehow harder to analize all thats happening on the screen in D4, compared to D2. despite both having a dark visual theme
– why having stats like strength, intelligence ect if you cant chose where to put them upon level up.
– every ability is timed. in D2, if you use frozen arrows, you use them all the time, at hte cost of mana. and lets not forget auras. I kinda feel they “LOLified” the abilities in D4. not a fan
Love the video such a fun earned my sub and like for SURE !!
Each game has fewer and fewer classes to choose from? Or will D4 get more classes in the expansion? I kinda miss the Demon Hunter from D3.
Blizzard North (aka, Condor) was the best thing we gamers got back there. And they got murdered.
The fact that some today can still praise Diablo 1, with all its limitations, says a lot of the work of this studio.
Blizzard is incapable to match Blizzard North, and instead of creating innovation they chase others developers work (PoE).
A note. The Butcher was not meant as Boss, or mini Boss.
The Butcher was meant to teach the player that death is arsh, enemies are not fair, and nobody is there to resurect you.
I enjoyed every bit of that.
A stache 😂
D1 ofc )) It was the best time )
10:26 if you know you know, i fkn cried….
I wish they would add inventory tabs, the transparent map overlay and autorun to D4. Hopefully we’ll see more QoL features sooner than later
Diablo 4 has amazing detail, it’s a shame you don’t really see it because you’re view is so far away
I’m 45 years old and have had the privilege of playing all 4 of them. 1 and 2 were great 3 was a disappointment and I was skeptical of 4 but have been losing sleep because of how much fun I’m having playing it, it really has returned the title to greatness.
yes the charms in d2 are somewhat of an inconvenience, that’s why many mods double the size and reserve one half of it to put and active your charms.
i have all 4 raised my kids on them my first was #1
for me Diablo 2 was and stil is the top of all Diablo serie
Fresh meat! Made me run so fast while I hear this in my dads computer with max volume. Still gives me the chills till this day while playing d1
I played Diablo 1 for 5 minutes and I was hooked.
Middle aged now, and loving Diablo 4
You buy stam pots.. noob.
Diablo Resurrected is the best!
Diablo 1 looks way better than diablo 2. The sprites are so much more detailed. I never understood that.
tldr: same game
I really loved Diablo 1. From the first skeleton u meet as a sorcerer its a battle for survival u gotta do hit and runs becoz mana runs out fast at low lvl. But it made the game fun. The sound effects the eerie atmosphere down in the dungeons the creepyness it all added to a unique experience. And as he mentioned its quite punishing if u die without saving recently lol. I have the rare ps 1 version which is abit different from the first pc. Forexample if I completed with my character on Nightmare mode and I had Unique armor like Demon spike coat, it wouldnt carry over when I started new game with that character on Hell mode. I would get tons of money instead which sucks. But other than that the game was amazing.
I think you forgot one, wish I could
I don’t understand how anyone can talk about D3 without mentioning the RMAH and the itemization that made magic blue (!!!) items the best weapons in the game, far better then any rare or unique!
D2 will stay the best game of the genre in my opinion.
Diablo 1 was my first, only after 2 was released so I played it then started in on 2… and I was hooked! I disliked 3, which was a big bummer for me, but 4 feels closer to home… but that old trade and barter for the best is missing.. I loved the trade was currency not gold
Not the minimap
I liked Diablo 3 release better than today. I liked the 4 difficulties you’d play through. I’m happy that I went through Inferno difficulty (without AH help) twice. It was a good experience. As it is today, it’s okay, but it lost a lot of its progressive feeling. You just power level to 70 now and then get help until you get 6 pieces of your set. Then it’s just Greater rift grinding for as long as you want…for what purpose? Having new difficulties to conquer gives you a challenge to power up for.
Diablo 4 and it’s online only MMO crap can go suck a fat stuttery ball sack.
Why does D2R look better than D4?
also butcher still stands in front of you just swinging🤣 He will never change for anyone not even heroes of the storm
IMO best to worst D2,D1,D4,………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..d3
What about Diablo Immortal?
D3 is so superior
Ignores how blizzard killed diablo 3 with level scaling. Im already getting bored with d4 because of the same problem.
I thought Darkstone was better than Diablo III 🙂
1 and 2 were my favorite.
Remove the damage counters, over the top big footprint spells that fill up your and everyone elses screens, make the hits actually hit something instead of letting things swing through other things, bosses should interact with the environment not clip through it.. I think those are the biggest things that kept me from playing this game.
5:47 no.. it was like that in original too. (walking stamina.. u just need to stop first)
Hack and Slash peaked around Diablo II.
Every gaming genre has its apex in required computing power. It’s a fuzzy definition, but there is always a point where more graphics, longer stories, more complex game mechanics, et cetera, don’t contribute to better games anymore.
And as time progresses, more and more games mark the pinnacle of their genre. That’s why GTA V is still around, or rather, there is no GTA VI yet.
mediocre !
Diablo 2 is still the GOAT, especially now with Resurrected
best is diablo 2!
I played the SAMPLE of Diablo 1 on a PC Gaming magazine sample disk. They gave you one level (or so) and the game didnt progress. The voice actors were different too. After that I was hooked. I wish I still had that disk, it may be worth something.
This was my first time seeing Diablo 3 for console…. OMFG its so hideous. I feel soooooooooooo bad for console Diablo players…. That UI…. Those colors…. Those models…. I think part of my soul just died.
Hi, I had Diablo in Spring of ’96, got it two weeks before release. How could you mess something like that up?
It is funny. The first two games are 3 years apart. Then the next Diablo was 12 years later. Diablo IV came out almost another 12 years later. That means the next Diablo game will come out in 2036.
After d2 when the gates fell and the demons were let loose upon the world, I was expecting d3 to be d2 but more and crazier monsters around the world, closing gates and so on. But we got d3…
Totally agree that D1 should get a remaster..! I loved the dungeon style world design, going deeper and deeper into hell – and i also really liked the town Tristram and its characters. I think D2R is my second favorite Diablo game. The story and cutscenes in D4 are pretty epic, and overall it looks like a good game – but im not a fan of the new leveling system, where you cant put points into strength, dexterity, and vitality. I have not played D4 myself, so im not sure if you can adjust the camera zoom, but the videos i have seen have the camera WAY too close to the character, which gives it a very different vibe than im used to from Diablo games. I also think the old style where you are surrounded by darkness, and only have a circle on the screen lit up, gave the old games a really nice vibe. Another thing i think is overused in WAY too many games, is bosses being TOO big. Maybe kids think this is cool, but as a 40 year old, i think its TOO “fantastic” that a guy with a sword will defeat such colossal monsters… I hope game designers will come up with something better soon, because that stuff is just CHILDISH AF 😏
5:45 Stamina did regen while walking before the remaster though
Barb and Barbarian in D1? Huh?
Diablo 2 my friend showed me this game and i was excited but i bought 1 instead and watched the butcher constantly end my life. Great game too xD. 3 i kinda lost interest soon i got to act 4 azmodan felt like a saturday night cartoon villian that talks too much. Diablo 4 shockingly is my favorite and I grab d2r to actaully play the game for once 😂.
Diablo 4 is dope
“greatest hits of the franchise BUT in the best ways”… what? Not exactly how English works bud. Cool vid though.
Started on 2, didn’t like how few monsters were on the screen at the same time, didn’t like the emptiness of the world (except for monsters) and quickly quit halfway through act 1. Came back to 3, didn’t like that there still weren’t that many enemies on the screen at the same time, didn’t like you had like no choice in skill progression for the first 30 levels and the system overall felt pretty uninteresting, quit the game after it crashed for the 3rd time or so.
Have been playing path of exile ever since and i doubt i’m gonna switch to another ARPG ever again. Nothing has yet been able to combine the speed, monster density and complexity (and content, for that matter) of poe and since it’s considered pretty hard and complex by most folk, i doubt any new games will try to mirror it.
diablo 4 is dumbed down like everythign else is now .
Played D2 at a cousin house quite a bit, at that time it looked dope. Played whole D3 and now just finished D4 story line. D4 is by far the best game taking into consideration everything. It’s dark themed game not like D3, graphics are obviously way better than D2, itemization so far looks better than D3 where everything was about the sets and it was getting boring really fast because of it. Main thing which I didn’t like in D4 is actually how the story line “ended” leaving you on the cliff hanger and if you want to finish the story, you will have to buy the expansions. In D3 standard game, after killing Diablo there was some sort of ending, was not clear indication of what is going to happen next and for me D3 and it’s expansion felt like somewhat different games because they both got endings in which there was a moment of “okay, problem is gone for a long time right now”. Here in D4 is like “Okay, we killed Lilith, but Mephisto is a problem right now, but if we want to deal with him, please buy an expansion”
Charms on DII: Ofc I use them, Wc/40+ life sks gcs, ar/life scs, anni and torch. B)
killing Deckard Cain in d3 was the dumbest thing they did
Diablo 3 and 4 being always online is disgusting.
Rip diablo
Nothing will ever beat D2 (LOD) in my world !
There is a puppy backpack?!
Not the kfc sandwiches
1:15 dying with a full health pot in slot 1 was so painful to watch
Eww, Console Diablo 3!? : /
You forgot the duplicate glitch from Diablo 1
Diablo was the dark souls of ARPG, sadly 4 insn’t the elder ring is shiuld of been (even though it’s close).
everything after d2 is the opposite of an evolution
Diablo had strong audio ques that you needed to pay attention to. Anyone who really played back then can still hear a ring or amulet say obsidian of the zodiac hit the ground.
Even with the older versions of diablo 1 and 2… Diablo 3 is just the ugliest of the bunch.
I think you can only call it a quadrilogy if it ends at 4. And I doubt it will end at 4.
I am trying to get into diablo 3 again but like last time I am falling asleep
Lord of destruction expansion. Not LordS. Baal is the LORD of destruction.
I absolutely HATE the multiplayer aspect of Diablo 4. I miss having companions.
The best part of this was the Barrel Smack down lol
No immortal? Lol
3 sucks
diablo 2 is what started it all for me and i have ,many fond memories playing this my friends, diablo 3 was a great game but something was always missing. Really enjoying diablo 4 with the world bosses, helltides and of course loot
The only thing that I find kind of strange about diablo iv: Why do I, as a druid, hold a weapon in my hand if I never use it, because my primary attack after the first level up is that I turn into a werewolf. Just wondering XD
I started with Diablo 1. It was a decent game looking back. It was amazing at the time because there was just nothing like it. Of course D2 was the best game ever made in my opinion. D3 is a great freaking game. D4 has the potential and is already a solid game at launch. Yeah it has a ton of work to be done in the coming years. I really don’t like the world not being randomly generated. It works great for immortal but I was hoping it would give us the choice of multi-player like D2. I actually like Immortal. I like it for the mobile game it is.
the D1 / D2 graphics were more unique and desirable than the generic look of the 2 that followed, imo
Diablo 4 is just worse poe
Diablo IV is a mediocre product, not worth the money they ask for it.
When you said 26 years, it hurt my soul. I bought Diablo 1 in big box at K Mart when it was brand new. Put a good 30k+ hours in the original trilogy. I actually sort of prefer Diablo Immortal over D4 at the moment. I’ll give D4 another go when season starts in 3 weeks. Once you get past the P2W nonsense in DI, it’s pretty much just D3 with a bunch of upgrades, and I loved D3. D4 didn’t grab me as hard as the original trilogy, but I’m not giving up hope that it will grow on me just yet.
I see D4 as more of an homage/rhyme for D1. D4 is grey, muddy, slow. It’s like a new trilogy reboot. Perhaps D5 is where they will take what they built with D4 and elaborate on and perfect it like that did in the transition from D1 to D2. Then D6 we’ll get a bonkers off the wall hyper fast version of it all to mirror D3. I could see that being their grand plan.
And Path of Exile ? is a Diablo in spirit and gameplay
D2 is a masterpiece. Still playing even after 20 years.
Diablo 1, and 2 were the ones I grew up on and I’m pretty partial to those two 😎
i stop video after d2 ress
my thoughts of diablo 4 was that the story isn’t deckard cain and that most things in the game arnt relatibal in realtime the facet to not have the man named gheed in a diablo game is un presented in array of standards of what could of been a diablo community the game itself is choppy facebook with like a chicken you hatch in the background its less driven because we didn’t fall for you””re immortal poo in grabs of light of the day the semi influentual driven community that drives from the underbelly isn’t going to be happy for your game youve here by messed up too many servers crashed too many games and shamed too many people to be let out in public the residules of the game isn’t a hack and slash or a game in persay its a 360 lawn mower from tom hanks backyard,
D4 killed every aspect that made Diablo fun playing and make everything worse that was already bad. Yes, the graphics are okay but not stunning. Oh and, stamina in D2 always recover while walking but you have to stand still for 1sec when switching mode, beside that there were stamina-potions. D4 is for people coming from the witcher or elden ring, who loved D2 will switch to Path of Exile
“… while the underground layer is classic unpredictable dungeon crawling.” It is so wrong, but so many of us wish this would be true…
Except it’s not classic unpredictable dungeon crawling in D4, every dungeon is basically the same which really tends to bore you out after doing like 20-30 of them, and there’s like 100+ of them. Talk about lazy copy-paste development.
Diablo II – still king!
oh man. today is not the day to hear “the titanic is about to release in theaters” one minute into a youtube video i wanted to distract me from anything to do with titanic
D2 art was best
I also feel like d4 was learing about others game that took over after diablo 2 like grim dawn. which was by my opinnion the best Diablo like game after diablo 2 until now that we have D4
my god D3 is horrible, it looks even worst than diablo 1
1 still the best experience. not the best game today but the very very best experience
“hot topic dark” lol
Dang, I never realized how bad D3s graphics were until seeing it side by side with D4
I played Diablo 1 on the day of its release – loved it.
Didn’t have the PC for D2.
D3 was ok.
D4 bored me to tears… Got to level 39 before uninstalling. Tedious waste of my time.
Diabola 2 was my favorite though I did start on 1. Though I never played 3. I’ve maybe put 5 hours on 4 but I’m not really getting into it too much.
D1 to D4 and everything in between…. yup im old lol
love the artwork now too…
even D immortal – but i aint paying to win lol
I wish I had a PC beefy enough to run Diablo 3
d1 ok kind of slow.
d2 best version of diablo hands down nothing to debate.
d3 an embarrassment that should have never seen the light of day.
d4 an open world-ish over monetized reskin of d3.
saved you 12 minutes of your life.
wtf is that ui in d3, console?
D4 is too MMO for me, it’s missing something and the item scaling with level just feels meh. Everyone I know who is a huge MMO person who played 3, love 4. A few peeps I know who are huge fans and didn’t care for 3, played 4 for like 2 weeks really hard and now they’re dwindling out. It feels what they meant Diablo 3 to be. It’s for the casual / mmo player and it just doesn’t feel worthy of the name. Again, as I feel with 3, should’ve named it something else and it’d probably be enjoyable but it doesn’t feel like a Diablo game. RIP Blizzard North.
Started with Diablo 2 and later the expansion. Loved this game. Have not played anything else, but now I have downloaded the Diablo 2 remaster and Diablo 3 game. Looking forward to play them!
Grim Dawn is still the best Diablo out there xD
I am having a lot of fun with D4. I started playing D2 back in 2001 and pretended it was a Lord of the Rings game. I’ve replayed D2 countless times over the 22 years. I’ve tried D1 and my main issue with that game is the movement speed. I just didn’t have the patience for it. I did not play D3, but I’ve heard good things. I’ve yet to see if D4 has the replayability of D2, but for now, I’m having a blast.
Yeah, you most probably never had an inventory full of 45 life skillers and 5/20 scs.
D3 looks worse than D2 remaster to me. Hate that D3 looks like a mobile game
Diablo 1 and 2 were amazing allegories for the human condition. Endlessly fighting the hordes of hell to get better gear until you inevitably die. Then the writers had to lore up d3 and now we have bad angels and everyone is nephalem which are apparently unique but also higher population ingame than human. Also they made angels selfish and bad. So edgy… total inversion of what made the originals great.
A few things i think you’re missing. Failed to mention that in D1 illumination radius was a factor in the game influenced by items. It kinda helps the light/dark keys make more sense. Diablo 2 the charms were added later in a patch. Inventory management had been a core element of the games since D1 and is mildly missed by some of us. The “just stuff it in a massive inventory” used now is often made fun of in satire game cartoons. Also you didnt mention that synergies were also added in a patch. There a huge part of the roadmap toward how D3 and D4 worked and almost reinvented D2. How can you ridicule the butcher fight from D1. It was raw, threatening and had a terrifying audio that set the tone for the whole game. Complaining about the lack of 25 years of MMO boss mechanics misses the point. Good vid.
Your comment about Diablo 2 and us being glued to the screen hit too hard to home. My mom physically broke my disks :'(
I miss the Amazon bow class so much .. rogue bow in D4 just isn’t the fantasy 😭
You should play Path of Exile, which is the REAL Diablo II successor
diablo 2 was my first but I went back to d1 and d1 hellfire, ive played every game for hundreds or even thousands of hours
i love how the remaster makes d2 look *worse* if you switch to ‘classic graphics’
Diablo1 is still the best diablo
It isn’t “Lords of Destruction” but “Lord of Destruction” aka Baal.
I’m enjoying Diablo 4 but I also kind of hate that I am because it really did not live up to my expectations. It feels very lifeless and unfinished compared to all of the other ones. It’s a fine game, but I just don’t LOVE it the way I did the others. Diablo 2 was my first and is still my favorite ARPG to this day.
Diablo IV tried to be more gory and dark but it still gives me some of that Diablo 3 flashiness somehow. Diablo 2 Resurrected is still the best IMO.
I still think Diablo 2 was the best
Diablo 2 is still miles ahead of Diablo 3 and 4 COMBINED.
I played Diablo 1 for PC when it was brand new. Copyright protection required that you look through the instruction book for the 3rd letter of the 2nd word on line 7 of page 6 or some garbage like that.
We discovered the loot dupe bug where if you dropped an expensive piece of vendorable gear on the ground and walked away, then put one gold coin on an inventory square by itself, you could create a duplicate item by clicking on the gear from far away, then opening your inventory and clicking on the gold coin exactly when your character picked up the item from the ground. We created unlimited supplies of gold and cheesed the game after that. Godly Armor of the Whale for everyone.
Never really went back to it after D2 came out. I wonder if they patched that out.
I am sorry but d2 res sharp realistic graphic wins in many aspects.
it always regend while walking, you just had to stand still for a second before it would.
I really forgot how cartoonish D3 was. Looks like WoW, lol.
I first played Diablo 1 many moons ago as a child, I didn’t really start getting into Diablo until Diablo 2 when I was a teenager. Countless hours spent with friends playing the ladder each season, it was so much fun and great memories.
As for Diablo 4, I have no intention to play the game or buy it since my interest in the series greatly dipped with the release of Diablo 3. Your comment about it was very accurate that it’s “hot topic dark”, the feel of the game just didn’t feel like Diablo and didn’t give me the same enjoyment the previous games did. The story is also another thing which I thought felt like the work of a fan fiction more than it did a professional writer.
To add, I don’t support Blizzard Entertainment anymore due to their known controversies. So that seals the deal on myself not getting Diablo 4 anyway.
There was only one Lord of Destruction, numb nuts.
tetralogy*
GREAT job
i didnt play diablo 1 or 2 so i cant judge them. But i purchased diablo 3 and 4 for some hack and slay action. And diablo 4 has some nice new features but isn´t even close to the hack and slay fun from diablo 3. To much useless running(getting patched out soon but right now its annoying) and all those dungeons that need me to “collect stuff, free prisoners ” and so on is just annoying. Sure they thought it makes the game less repetative but thats not true. Its nice to see for a few times but you grind those dungeons a thousand times so it will always be repetative. The only thing that it adds is an interruption in the hack and slay part making the grind less enjoyable
Depois do D2 virou uma merda. Path of exile surgiu pra mostrar como é que se faz!-
Me: Diablo 4 is the worst game ever made.
Also me: Already Level 60 after 2 weeks.
Hmm I won`t buy diablo 4 because of the forced mmo-bs. diablo was always a game for me that I loved to play alone at night 🙂
“Classic unpredictable dungeon” I think you meant “boring unimaginative corridors”
I started with D1, played D2 and D3 – Diablo 4 (Diablo 3 DLC) is not on my list. I played the beta and it didn’t convince me.
d3 on pc is way better
I agree that Diablo 1 needs a remake . Great video
Diablo 3 video play game recorded from PS3? In PC Diablo 3 video graphic is the best than PS3
I started in 1, played it and the expansion to death, then played 2 to death, then played 3 to… Well not so obsessively. I haven’t played 4 yet. Playing through Jedi Survivor and Resi 4 Remake. I still play a lot of Elden Ring too.
And now we have The Hell 2 which makes Diablo 1 into the best of all four games.
Ugh I miss D2 when it was LIT
i refuse to give activision blizzard money. they suck as a company, and after the “you have p[hones don’t you” commentary, along with multitudes of other questionable decisions, i refuse to financially support such a company. ALSO D1 and D2 had player driven stat increases, D3 and D4 do not, so no cross class characters like warrior wizard in D1 or necromancer barbarian D2.
Franchise <<
D2 was a masterpeice. D3 and D4 do not have anywhere close to what made D2 a legend and I have played them all for countless hours. What made D2 great was passed on to Path of Exile. Diablo Immortal is just trash.
Please compare it to Path of Exile
7:35 Ive played D3 but none of your footage looks like the game i played, are you showing some mobile or console version?
its amazing how good the graphics where for their time
Diablo 1 was what got me into PC gaming back in ’97. I was 12 years old and had spent every weekend playing DnD with my friends all night. And for the first time ever, I was able to play somethign like DnD on a computer. Where I could see my character, and watch the fireballs fly, and hear the growls of the evil creatures around me… it was an amazing moment in my life that I still remember to this day. Diablo 1 will always hold a special place in my heart because of that. I still play through it on occation.
2:05 it’s easy to see them on PSX
Easily obvious that you know very little of every diablo game or it’s ancesstors, but dare to make reviews.
Started with 1. Butcher made me run out of my room and I never loaded the game again
2 was my first and still my favourite!
Suggestion for a video:
Make a comparisson between butcher fight in Diablo 1 and Diablo 4, it’ll rack up views and laughs
My first was Diablo 1, although D2 came out very soon after I first played it so I mostly played D2 after that. Was my first online game too. Good times, those.
I never played D3 because it just seemed to be a complete departure from everything I loved about Diablo. Fortunately, Path of Exile did the exact opposite and scratched that old itch very well – and continues to do so, so much so that I consider it the only true spiritual successor to Diablo 2.
Haven’t looked much into D4 yet, because even though I do appreciate the return to the darker tone of D1&2 (that travesty of a design choice that was DIablo 3 should never have happened), it still seems to have too much of D3 and Diablo Immoral in it for my taste. Modern-day (Activision) Blizzard, unlike the studio that created the first two Diablos, is a greedy, predatory corporate moloch, and that filth is much too present in Diablo 4 for me to stomach it.
For me one of the things I didn’t like so much about diablo 4 was actually the loot the flasks and the inventory management that was lost from the first and second, I miss managing the inventory space having different items ocupying different amout of space as well as the gems and the way we used to increase and change the type of the gem slots in the items. also the flasks and their enchantments etc. thankfully Diablo 4 regained the gore feel of the originals that was lost on the toony Diablo3 and that was what saved it tbh. But If there will be a Diablo 5 I hope it brings the inventory, flasks and loot mechanics of the old times back. PS: forgot to mention the management of the portal scrolls as well as the identify scrolls I miss those too, now u just keep hoarding all the loot back and forward with no penalty teleporting everywhere like its nothing… kinda lame if u ask me…
Regarding Diablo III you forgot to mention that it started really bad and not only because of the auction, years of polish made it much better and they still improve it every season. So I hope it is the same with Diablo IV, that it’s just a bad start since they mostly focused on marketing and creating a hype for people to buy it, since unlike when it’s just began, it’s monetization first and the product is just a means for it
please, listen to me. the archbishop lazarus… he led us down here to find the lost prince
also wtf is d3? did you mean path of exile? diablo 3 isn’t related to the diablo series
pcs weren’t really “designed for gaming” in the late 90s, at the most you’d upgrade your video card, of which there weren’t even very many to choose from.
My greatest achievement in d2 was being able to get rid of Al resistance charms because I didn’t need them.
The association between the KFC Double Down and D4 as hallmarks of 2023 after 10 years of waiting for both is so good.
Brings back the days of playing Diablo 1 with my cousin in the 90s, late into the night on Pentium 90 PCs with a 10mbit network connection.
if you think that POE came literally in the same time as diablo then D3 doesnt look that good
D3 runes were so good I miss them so much, added so much more skill diversity than the mere 2 skill paths on D4 skills. Not even 2 on the ultimate skills.
in diablo 2 stamina did regen while you walked. but you had to stop for a second to start the regen.
Is it just me, or does Diablo 3 look better than 4??????
Man is it just me or does d4 seem more.. cartoony the longer you play? Don’t get me wrong I love it (not having Diablo in the story or even announced threw me off) but it seems to have an arcade feel than the original survival feel we remember from d1. D2 is where I still had some survivalist flow but equally the ability to do player trades. D3 finally gained traction on the DLC and has some interesting things like paragon and torment levels that I enjoyed (forgot to mention the game breaking bugs and 1000k damage that ended up being in the trillions). At lvl 47, WT3 being lvl 53+ wasn’t the kick in the balls I needed. Maybe I had really good stuff that suited my build perfectly, maybe they kept damage a bit over the top like D3
The D3 interface looks really wonky and limited and super super zoomed in on console, wow, so glad I only played it on PC now.
Diablo II was masterpiece 🙂 By it’s music, mechanics’, storyline, runes, stones, javelins, items, crafting, balance of hardenes 10/10 – pure addiction. Even now when I think about unidentyfy legendary items it make me excited. They should do what they did with starcraft and starcraft II, they just remastered it and left all mechanics as they were before. And so I can’t understand why they made diablo III the way they did, gladly in DIV they made step back and a bit of comback to the roots.
I actually play Druid in d4 but it’s weird for sure we were playing wt2 earlier fighting a boss to unlock vet I’m lvl 38 but I have to be up on the enemies and the boss was killing me quick but with use of the ability I was able to stay alive for a bit until the last phase of boss it was a Druid boss I do believe but it turned into a brown bear and killed me I think it should’ve been a werebear like myself but it’s all good lol
Diablo 1, Diablo 2, Path of Exile. That’s the only currently made Diablo games. Period.
I am waiting for the addon and the option to turn off the alien invasion of my PC.
personally nothing beats d2
remember diablo 1 duplicating? lol
we dont need anaologies about moves that came out.. or bumper stickers.. just talk about the god damn game.. so much filler mumbo jumbo .. STOP seriously
D2 king, had the survival feel of D1 but with much better graphics and player control. D4 dissapointed me a bit. Seems like a reskinned D3…
420Life.
d3 did not age well holy cow. It looks horrid.
i like how you called it “the telephone one”
Wonder how they paid you for this sponsor. You say Diablo 4 brings back the feel of the old games. Nobody who played Diablo 1 or 2 will tell you 4 has the same feel
D2R looks better than D4…
it’s hard to take D3 and D4 seriously when they look so bad, feels like one of those Korean grinding mmos that came out 15 years ago, never gonna touch them. Life’s too short to play such crap. As far as boss fights in D4, had enough of that in WoW.
Wow, the fact that you said telephone and not cell or mobile blows my mind. lol @11:47 Great vid!
No difference between 3 and 4 for me.
D4 is okay,but I still prefer D3! Unless D4 releases its expansion, I will stick w D3 =)
Be specific, Bro. ARPG was born in Japan earlier, on consoles. For PC, maybe it was Diablo 1.
Diablo 1 – ah the nostalgia
Diablo 2 – damn game is getting better
Diablo 3 – i dont even see where my character is, murder fiesta 24/7
Diablo 4 – cost 70€, pass. (where is Diablo in this game? anyone saw him, gone on vacation? game IS called Diablo right? )
Thanks needed this comparison to re-invigorate my interest in D4.
its no rpg its an hack and slay …
DIABLO 1 is WALK FOR YOU LIFE!
Started with Diablo 2 back in my young days. It was so creepy and fun to play. I remember we had to hide it from our parents because a rumor was gong around it that was converting kids to Satinism… haha! Diablo 3 was a blast in highs-chool. I loved the game entirely, with the only let down being the repetitiveness. If they had alternate story lines or some variability it would’ve been next to my favorite game Battle for the Middle of the Earth. Have not played diablo 4, unsure if I’ll have time nowa days. Great reviews though!
Diablo 2 was my first one. I got the battle chest edition that came with the base game, the expansion, and Diablo 1. I remember trying to play Diablo 1 once but that didn’t last very only and I don’t think I ever even made it to the butcher.
How much blizzard paid for this video ?
My 1st was D1 and I’m still deciding if I’m getting D4.
D4 looks childish to me. That being said I am 31 so getting old…
Diablo 2 is the best with doubt. Diablo 4 is too easy and so op barb. It is sooooo annoying i can’t even stand to watch barb char
Some of the features you pointed out in Diablo 1 were strictly from the Hellfire expansion, and any self-respecting Diablo 1 player will tell you that Hellfire doesn’t exist. The extra “hidden” classes and the oils you can use to increase your weapon’s abilities were Hellfire exclusives. They couldn’t continue making the Barbarian because they were told directly by Blizzard North (I think?) that they were already doing a Barbarian for Diablo 2, so that class was off limits. Plus, The Hellfire team had a mere 6 weeks to develop the expansion that Blizzard didn’t even want and get it out the door. I will say that I absolutely love the Demon Crypts dungeons that were included in Hellfire. Honestly, I don’t want another new Diablo game, and after Diablo 3 I’ve decided that the series has moved away from what made the 1st 2 games great for me.
If there is to be another Diablo game in the series, and judging by early sales of D4 there surely will be, I want it to be a direct prequel to D1, taking the game back to its roots. I don’t mean they have to dumb down the gameplay, but bring health and damage down to understandable levels instead of forcing players to reach the high score with 22.4 billion damage. Let 1.4k damage be a big number. I understand I’ve outgrown what Diablo has become, and it is no longer catered to my needs, wants or desires as a gamer. Just stop trying to keep pushing this war between Heaven, Hell and Sanctuary as a neverending battle. Bring the series back to before the return of the Nephalem, where it was more or less normal human beings doing amazing things while battling the forces of evil.
This is also how I felt after the 1st couple of Halos. I was tired of playing as the super powered Master Chief. I wanted to play the role of one of the Marines, as those characters always seemed so much more interesting to me. But again, I’m old and grumpy. Get off my lawn. I need a nap.
I can’t believe this guy just comparing D1 with newer ones. This is the source of everything and you have to save your game all the time this is the penalty for dieing. And we were totally cool with it back then.
the side by side comparison really shows how badly the series slid D3 on. Literally soul vs soulless
how dare you playing diablo 3 on console
I still can’t believe how shitty was the art direction in D3
Found a legit Obsid of zod in D1, Beta tested for D2. D3 was a huge disappointment with the pay to play scaling at endgame.
Please tell me D4 isn’t just a cash grab. Tell me it doesn’t suck ass, please.
The thing is that Diablo 2 still looks great. Some styles are just timeless.
Misleading title… please remove the word “Directly” from the title or I will get your video removed forever, maybe even this useless channel.
I just wanted to see the thumb nail and more pics like it. Very disappointed.
Wierd that Diablo 5 (Path of Exile) wasn’t shown here
WHERES MY TRANSPARENT MAP OVERLAY, DIABLO 4
“skill trees are back and quite a bit deeper than in diablo 2” WHAT? this is massively simplified compared to D2
i did not like diablo 3
You cannot divorce the gameplay from the music. It is a misrepresentation!
Could not disagree more… D4 sucks on everything. It has 0 from D1 and 0 from D2 imo. It has taken most from D3 and immortal. I was a hardcore player with D1 and D2. D3 was… meeh.. Immortal should never have been made. And D4 is in fact the first game in my 30 years gaming that I have returned and requested a refund… Yepp… it’s that bad!
like u said d1 was a hardcore survival arpg, i never got the same feel out of any other arpgs
Man in hindsight blizzard was years/maybe even decades ahead… Blizzard, Valve and MDMA (rockstar) were way ahead of their time glad i witnessed their greatness.
I startet at D1 .. D2 was my life,, weeks, months, years spent to repeat that content…. D3 was such a giant bummer, that was a quick quit. and D3.1 (or D4 as u call it) . Jeez, how could they have spent more than 6month on this game? Its D3, with a little better graphic. Horrible game, Horrible loot system, No end game. No rewarding Game play… Even Hardcore is no longer HC because they added a potion that saves you from Dying, one big joke that game. unfortunatly…..
Show the store in D4 and that should tell you everything you need to know about this crap.
We are just going to ignore “you guys have phones”
I agree.
*TETRALOGY not QUADROLOGY
Silly mistake… but one that could make you look like an idiot in a crowd.
🙂
I don’t usually subscribe to random videos I find but this is great and your presentation is fantastic.
Is it just me or does no one have a serious issue with the fact that in D4 you can’t level properly because they use this MMO feature that enemies are always the same level as you are no matter where you are. I find that a big downer on D4 – it is simply no fun to play or level because it is always anyoing. Plus the overworld but espec. the dungeos are often way to larger. This does all not feel like a Diablo but more like a “World of Diablocraft” – and that is a big minus. For me at the moment this is the worst Diablo as it is no longer Diablo but an MMO.
D3 on console looks shite
Its wild looking at this, I remember playing D1 but in my head it did not look this bad LOL. Crazy how memory recall works.
I started in 3 but didn’t play more than maybe 3 hours and i’ve already put more than that into 4 in one day. I’m loving it so much.
How could you not mention duping in diablo 1?! It’s embedded in the dark recesses of my brain next to the konami code and the blood code for mortal kombat
Diablo 1 was worlds better, atmosphere was so much better, crawling in to hell, no running around god awful blizzard that borders a desert. Death system better, spell books for spells.
Loved the atmosphere when you could see lights in homes when it was all dark, NPCs kinda mattered and you’d listen to them.
Diablo 3 and 4 were really designed around non stop loot crap, rather than an awesome story(Althought D4 Lillith is phenomenally done, Diablo 3 was absolute garbage)
World bosses….what is the point of them, you complete the game before they open up, I’m not going to play the boring campaign twice lol
Brightness setting was there because of CRTs in the old days. We didn’t have the bright / clear monitors we have today. So you have to programmically brighten up the colors to be able to see at times lol.
Diablo 1 still looks at feels the best.
Anyone else feel like they miss the hell cow special area?
First was Diablo 2 for me. Loved it. Loved DIII even more. Have played a lot of D4 but it feels soulless compared to DIII. I don’t care about the characters – everything scales with levels too easily, so while the build improves I don’t don’t feel any more powerful.
d1 – dark massacre
d2 – dark massacre
d3 – clown in warcraft kiddish graphic
d2r – dark massacre HD
d4 – honestly d2r has better graphics than d4 which is a bit mindblowing. Still kidish, notice there is no blood on corpses .., skills have very cheap graphics, impact collision nonexistent, its like every class is playing a Tank. Ui is just ripped from d3, items graphics just cant compare to d2r .. its just generic images. Still much better than d3.
ugh numbers all over the screen like some sort of mobile phone button mash game. The later games speak of a generation of kids that need constant flashing and bright lights and things popping up everywhere.
What a dumb clickbait, every model starting from D1 is from in game and D4 is from char screen, downvote
Diablo IV is VampireSurvivors clone. I dont buy it. Best is D2 after remaster. I hope they remaster D1 too.
Diablo 3 did not give necromancer and crusader, Expansion set Reaper of souls gave them
Yes, we need D1 remaster!
Is that Diablo 2 UI specifically for Controller? On PC I only get access to 1 skill at a time….
Fun video! Diablo 1 was my first as well!
Diablo 1 is unbeatable in Terms of Atmosphere
i think the most of the players try to feel young again xD
blizzard should inplement langaue lern programs in their games, insteat of politikalcorrektideologies, gender bullsht
You should have shown Diablo III on PC. The console version looks like a mobile game.
I love the allcaps gothic fonts of D1 & D2… D3 looks like a MS word doc.
Good I hate the damage numbers
Yup, D3 still has the worst graphics out of all 4 entries, and is the one I played the least. Personal ranking: D2>D4>D1>D3. D3 is the weakest of the series for me, especially when it comes to the “fun” factor.
I played Diablo 1 when it came out and I had to go buy a new hard drive just to fit D2 on it when it came out. My have times changed since then….
D3 was a painful experience. It took no more than a few days to beat the first time, with no fun or hard boss and no interesting items dropped. Then you had to play the same fing boring crap again, just to maybe get an interesting item. D1 was actually hard and had wild random uniques. D2 had set items and fun bosses. D3 was atrocious and janky. i’m scared of D4 thanks to 3
I started with 4. I dont really count dabbling with 2,3 really an investment because I didn’t understand them at the time. I was more into fighters.
I’m not all that impressed. Looks like another Final Fantasy without the running away part
Lol everyone remembers…. Picking the sorcerer in Diablo 1. You get fkn pwnd! Until like lvl 9 or 10
You forgot the best Diablo game, Diablo Immortal
I love Diablo 4. It made me delete it and go back to D2.
Great series Diablo 2 have a special place in my heart the music is oustanding and the game is so grim!
Diablo II is the best – bye
I’ve started on veteran. Not a clever choice in D4 the first time you play and you’re forced to complete the campaign. I bought D1 and played a lot. Then D2 came out. And yes, it was a massive hit! But, I dare to say it, didn’t aged well. Too punishing, zero ingame information about mechanics, runewords are great, but you have to check them online. DevilutionX does that D1 remaster you ask for.
The room is crawling with demons. No worries, stand and block the door so they can’t swarm you and kill them one by one. Ah those beautiful Diablo 1 days… I love all of them tho.
D2 was my first, I also put the installer on my drive in High School, Class of 2013, and me and my best friend had digital photo together. Lets just leave it at we were on the leaderboards that season.
Played 1 on ps1(rented every weekend for a month).
Addicted to Diablo II and expansion for a good 8mths-yr.
Skipped over III due to life, but questioned people over its gameplay. Thought it be better not to touch the digital crack.
Now, extremely interested in 4x. Seen the cinematics and gameplay and getting that itch to buy it. I think its a bad idea. Mighr hibernate for months. Looks amazing.
You were much kinder to D3 than it deserved. Sure, it plays fine to a casual player now just picking it up to mess around with, but you’ve neglected to mention the hellscape that was its launch. The real money auction house, no end game, easier gameplay, extremely minimal customization until Reaper of Souls, the list goes on.
Need D4 cow level equivalent….
Look, the only things that really annoy me in DIV are all the mmo and freemium economy bits. Other than that it is a spectacularly good time. DIII will always be my favourite, though.
My first ever Diablo was II, when I picked the Barbarian because he looked the coolest ha
D4 waste of money just like d3
D3’s art style is even worse than I remembered. The graphics weren’t born well and didn’t age well, lol.
lol the butcher in diablo 4 still hasn’t changed as he was in the first diablo, he still repeatedly hits you over and over until you die
Diablo is such a lovely franchise, love all the games.
D1 is still the best. Then D2.
The appearance of D3 is a major downgrade from 2(Resurrected). Big Warcraft/WoW influence with the color palette and UI elements, detracting from the Diablo universe-experience in general.
That said, I’ve never played it. Maybe it’d still be good.
The casino style flashy numbers bother me A LOT in D3 and D4.
bruh using footage from console d3 not doing it justice
Showing console diablo 3 doesn’t do it any justice. Diablo 3 on pc looks nothing like that poo you showed.
consol peasant
It’s fun to see they added the Butcher in every Diablo so far. Also the Diablo 1 opening cinematic with the crows and the banging window has made it’s debut again in Diablo 4 intro cinematic. Just as an easter egg! And also Tristram returns in every Diablo game so far!
5:48 that was a thing before the remake. you just had to stop running for a frame, then it would regenerate while walking
Diablo 4 may have killed my destiny 2 clan.
Diablo 1 but i didnt play it so much as running around level 30 something with my apoc staff and godly plate of whales killing diablo and leaving game.
Yeah kids, look at that inventory in 1 and 2. Quit bitching that you dont have enough space in 4.
Diablo 4 is the worst one LOL
got a question: is it possible to turn off damage number that floating over enemies in D4?
Diablo II was the best one ever! The Cow Level was amazing!
I haven’t played D1, but I’ve played the other 3 Diablo games: Diablo II, PoE and Diablo IV
🙂
D2 LoD was my favourite and I cant believe they updated so much over the years. I started with D1 which I got as a belated Christmas gift for PC. I burned out my GTX 460 SE playing it so much. Never knew about hellfire til much later in life. I thought D3 was good but not being able to select stats was disappointing and its gotten progressively worse over the next few games. Also curious why you never included Immortal? That much of a train wreck or because its mobile port?
“The telephone one” XD
Where did u left immortal 😀
1:15 your not getting your stuff back
Diablo 1 / 2 will always be the best
I have to disagree with diablo 3 i dont think it has aged well. It will always be known for when blizzard only listened to reddit and became a 24/7 mainstat grind game. It has not aged well its not rewarding cause you get everything from doing nothing. That is not something that is rewarding you have to do something for it to be rewarding A REWARD IN GAMES IS GIVE AND TAKE not just take you put in the hours to get something that is the actual meaning of something that is rewarding.
I’m just amazed at how different the visuals are between console and PC. You’d think they’d be similar, but the console version looks way more like a mobile game.
All I remember from Diablo 2 is FRESH MEAT!! Ran away back to town, logged out and had nightmares for the next 5 years. Good times 😀
for better or worse i’ve had a great time playing them all
Diablo 4 is perfect 🤩
Unless i’m missing something though they’ve made it this MMO feel… but then not given us match making =/
say what you want about pugs but we’re not all friends with a huge guild/clan that always has someone available to run things with
I have people I can but not usually when i am available so having some randoms to help me level/gear up is a plus instead of having to solo grim favor things
I dont remember d3 looking that bad. is it just the console version or the are colors over saturated?
good job good content overall thats nice to watch
My Diablo Ranking: D2 -> D4/D1 (cant really decide because of “nostalgic”) -> Grim Dawn ———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————> D3. lol.
Diablo 2 was annoying for me because I always died solo for no reason.
Diablo 1 modem-to-modem 2-player, then you have a “trainer” and can cast firewall in-town, but your friend can’t call you on the phone
Diablo 2 remaster still looks better then Diablo 4 in my opinion.
Play Diablo 3 on your computer then play Diablo 4 on your computuer. Yeah its night and day. Now watching some videos.. it can be hard to tell. But you play it.. its night and day
Blizzard having the gall to charge $70 for the base game is just hilarious to me. PoE2 is right around the corner. It will be of equally or superior quality and it will be free. Blizzard are out of their minds.
Diablo II was my first game in the series and is still my favorite!
“directly comparing” when the thumbnail shows 3 in-game sprites and 1 menu sprite. didn’t watch and disliked
Wow Diablo 3 looked so bad on PS4. It’s like medium-low graphics compared to what I remember on PC.
So youre telling me that Diablo 1 had the PoE style map that everyone liked and both 3 and 4 refused to give it to us?!
I look at d3 you show… thats not d3 i was playing.. the hell is this?
in diablo 4 boss fights only like about 10 seconds lol. after level 60 you just steam roll them
Watching you click on your potions the whole time definitely triggers me
Played Diablo 1 on the same pc with a buddy. I was slaying and he was spamming heal and mana potions. Good times.
6:20 is so true.
Diablo 4 = BEST
Yeah Butcher only swing on and on but still everyone remember the butcher 🙂
For me, there is no returning to that first-time Diablo experience under Tristram, when I first opened the door and heard: “Ahhhh…. FRESH MEAT!”
Diablo 3 was so bad it’s unreal
well D3 looks better then D4… Kind a weird…
Diablo 2 was my first. I started playing on my uncles pc when i was 8 years old. I completely skipped D3 because it looked stupid. Played POE instead when that came out.
D3 looks so out of place
I will never forget the first time I met the Butcher in Diablo 1. Games used to hit differently in childhood with so much amazement.
D2 is still the best one. D3 and 4 are so “fast paced” that nothing you do really matters. in D2 that was only a thing when you started doing Baal runs
i love how the “phone one” gets mentioned in pretty much the last sentence like, “oh yeah, by the way”
You forgot to mention that there is more flexibility between classes in Diablo 1. For example: The Warrior is not barred from using spells, but the upper cap on intelligence (or whatever it was in that game) prevents you from improving many spells beyond a certain level that a Sorcerer could, so unless you just *had* to have that Warrior-in-heavy-armor aesthetic, you were better off using a Sorcerer for a spell-based build. Not that you *needed* to, though.
This guy has no idea what he’s talking about. He was in the mother’s wound when diablo 2 was out.
Diablo 2 forever
I played Diablo 2 when I was a kid (never got past the desert area) but my friends are getting D4 so I decided I would get it and play with them since they haven’t played it before either. Hopefully it’s not as ridiculously hard as I remember.
You don’t remember the Oil of Sharpness in D1 because it’s not in the original game. It’s only in the Hellfire Expansion.
D4 is trash
Diablo 4 is the best Diablo and the best ARPG… Better than stupid no brain POE
Diablo 2 still win them all
Honestly, D4 looks like PoE but dumbed down, and with a lot better graphics. Correct me if I’m wrong.
I think the only thing missing from Diablo IV is fallen ones yelling “rakanishu”.
I played Diablo 1 when I was 6 years old on PS1. Never got very far, but I remember it vividly. Then I remember my buddy got Diablo 2 on PC. I’d go over to his house and play it all the time, until I eventually got it myself.
you can use holding alt in all diablo games itl show all
All these years, and 2 still looks the best. Diablo 4 is ugly and full of microtransactions.
The ‘misplaced sticker’ joke made me sub 😂
nahhhh bro why he playing diablo on playstation, dont do me like that
Thanks for not dog piling on the newest releases like people tend to do when comparing games to their predecessors. It’s refreshing to hear all the amazing things from every game. I personally played D3 the most and still felt at times I wanted to hate it because others liked D2 better. Obviously foolish. Thanks for appreciating. The world needs more of it.
Diablo 1. Computer gaming was always big in my house. I like D4, but the lack of variation in side and event quests has been grinding on me lately. Same dialogue, same quest. Often times too I find myself doubling back on an area just to do another quest. Also, they locked mounts poorly. Should’ve just given it after level 10.
I bought starcraft when it came out and it included diablo 1 so I ended up playing it also. I ended up likeing diablo better
Diablo was the first game series I can remember where when you changed your gear you could actually see the changes on your character. That was major for the time.
Also a lot of people forget how much the base game of Diablo 3 sucked when it came out too. Real money item store sucked the life out of that game. Jay Wilson is a bum too btw.
I remember my dads friend showing me and my brother the first Diablo on his laptop back in the day.. 26 years later and we’re all still here!
Im not very happy with diablo 4. feels more like diablo 3.5 with inconveniences. NM dungeons are just Rifts but you have to travel there rather than the convenience of teleporting in with your friends. aspect extraction means I’m not just looking for legendaries, I have to inspect EVERY rare item that drops to make sure it’s not an upgrade. PvP is not really a thing. Basically either you global the enemy player or they global you. There’s no good balancing done to the classes so none of the fights seem even close. And world bosses are a joke. By end game they’re so easy I can basically tank every hit that’s not a channeled beam of death. Not very well made tbh. I guess I’ll wait to see what the seasons look like and how set items change the game. Also diablo 1 was my first. Diablo 2 was my first addiction.
I remember watching a friend play Diablo 1 but I don’t actually remember if I ever played it until years later when I got it for myself, at which point I had already played Diablo 2; so I’m gonna say 2 was likely the first one I played, and it is still my favourite.
man D1 was such a pain in the ass to get through and you had to actually try to manipulate the battlefield if you got overwhelmed. The inventory charms in D2 weren’t so bad especially in early levels when the little boosts helped but they did fall off pretty bad mid/late game. D3 I feel was just for the “instant gratification players”, the ones that don’t actually like to solve puzzles and struggle with bosses and feel a win is earned but for the button mashers and COD players that just want the quick fast kill matches and be done.. haven’t played D4 yet, I’m very interested!.
Sets and Runes and maybe I’ll consider it.
Diablo 3 looks so cartoony compared to D4 now that I look at it.
addicted to 4 hahah
Yes can’t wait for PoE2!
Diablo 4 is my first Diablo and I’m really enjoying it, the simplicity of the gameplay is a big part of what I like so much about it the games not too complicated and complex
I never knew how awkward it was to say quadrilogy til now.🤣
think diablo 4 is a pile of crap took them so long to make something that litirally went down in quality of life i mean d3 was amazing and fun d4 is just a cheap poe copy with some d2 aspects
And this is why I compulsively save to this day
pop filter. or back off mic.
d4 has no trading or econ at all and the chars / items are type set so in the end it has half the custom as d2 = 6/10
“Why would you need keys to raise/lower the brightness” Back in the day, CRT monitors were extremely hit or miss on peak brightness, so it was handy. A lot of games of the era had adjustments. I recall playing on a buddy’s green monochrome display and we needed to adjust brightness constantly because the game is weird in green monochrome.
can u pls compare indirectly?
I think Charms would be good in Diablo 4, just give them their own inventory tab for charms only. It would be a good way to get more buffs and a cool call back to D2
Level scaling in D4 really ruins the feel of the game. They might as well have removed levels from enemies totally since they don’t mean anything. As soon as you become more powerful, the enemies just scale to you. It’s fake progression. IMO, they should have made the world static so if you want to fight tougher creatures, you need to go to a different part of the world where tougher enemies dwell.
It’s Lord of Destruction not Lords
not a huge fan of 3 myself, like 1,2,4
God these games are overrated they are so boring
Diablo 1 main weapon Kings bastard sword of haste. I will never forget. Then the duplicates of everything started.
glad you used the original Diablo 2 not just the remastered. So many just use the remastered as a bases for Diablo 2 these days. Grew up with diablo 1 and played up to 4, gave up with 3 but 4 brought me back to the series.
while playing d4 i find myself comparing it only to d2/d2r, never to d3. its like d3 never existed, even though i played it for a while.
Diablo 3 sucks so bad
3 is still my favorite
D2R with the old graphics has the best graphics IMO. Then original 2, D2R with modernized graphics, 4, 1 and lastly 3
Played Diablo 1 from the start and did you now that diablo 1 also have Hell Fire
i convinced my dad we needed a new pc for school when really diablo 2
Diablo 2 was my love for so long, but man, is D4 absolutely fantastic. I agree – it’s got a lot of the best bits of all the previous games, with some new toys added in for good measure. I can’t wait to see what an expac will bring us! I feel D3 didn’t really get good until the expac came out, so knowing that I already like D4 more than it, I’m real hype about what comes next for this Diablo generation.
I personally think if they expanded on the d3 camps then combine it with d4 camps system it would have been outstanding. grinding to upgrade your camp to then upgrade your gear was the best feeling ever. Tedious and grindy but well worth it.
4:20 umm what? lords of destruction? lol bruh. “say you never played diablo without saying you never played it”
Wait, did you just say that you don’t care about charms in Diablo 2? It’s one of the most useful and the most expensive items in the end game xD
Diablo 2 always the best
Let’s be honest guys, Blizzard will never produce a better game than Diablo 2. D2 is the best Diablo experience I ever had.
It is not perfect, but nearly.
D1 and D2 are the real Diablo games.
D3 is a completely other game.
D4 is a better D3.
Listen Blizzard, it’s not only about fancy graphics. It’s the things behind it.
Take Counter Strike for example:
Many players will still say that CS 1.6 is still the best Counter Strike game of all times.
So Diablo II is where is at. Okay 👍
The boss fights in D4 are trash.
Even after playing D1 and D2, I still can’t see why people are saying those games are better than D4. The past is the past, this is now people.
I wasn’t a PC gamer as a kid (and still prefer consoles to this day) so my first was Diablo 3. Because I got hooked into WoW towards the end of Lich King and there was a mount to be had if you got Diablo 3. Or something like that.
Tetralogy
stamina always regen’d while walking in D2, you just have to stand still for a second to activate it first
My guy, you used the Butcher in D1 is a bad boss, but it’s basically the exact same in D4. At least in D3 he had a hook pull and environment based aoe
How many ads can you fit into a 12 minute video? Money grubbing YouTubers, take notes here
Played Diablo II at a friends house when I was in highschool. Later, I got Diablo III for the xbox and played it nearly anytime I could during my deployment.
Playing Diablo IV, it feels kinda like how Diablo II played with heavy focus on RPG elements and skill builds, but I have the same online play feel that Diablo III had. Best of both worlds I think.
Diablo 2 will always be the greatest videogame ever made. Fight me
wait diablo 4 doesn’t have any holy classes? mehhhhh
Diablo 2 (Lord of destruction) is still the best game ever made.
Most excited I’ve ever been in a long time. Diablo IV coming out after waiting so many years and they have crushed it. They went above and beyond, was worth the wait.
Best Diablo games in order 4>2>1>3
i still prefer diablo 3, better variation of skills, maybe unbalanced true, but diabo 4 is really bad..
D4 is shockingly good. I had low expectations, and Blizzard knocked the game out of the park. Besides some flaws such as a cash shop, it does feel like a true heir to 1 and 2. Some say the story isn’t great, but I found it engrossing, especially Act 1.
I remember playing D2 for well over 24 hours non stop in the summer
Don’t know what you played in this video, but that was not Diablo 3, never seen that game…
Deeper gear system of the later diablos in D4? ..meaning D3? That was the most dumbed down system I’ve even seen in my life. Way dumber than D1. Basically “Big number good, low number baad!”. Didn’t play it with expansions so no idea if they did anything with those but man that pissed me off after the disappointment of d3.
diablo 1 my dad brought home one day and i was hooked but sucked at it, was mesmorized making my brother play and seeing how “deep” the levels go, since its just 1 giant dungeon with tons of levels. Diablo 2 is where i fell in love with the game and lost a lot of one of my childhood summers playing that. Diablo 3 came out while i was starting to date my “now” wife and the game lost all the diablo 2 depth of upgrading your character and picking skills so i barely played it and hated it. Diablo 4 is now out and i’ve already put in 25 hours (mostly getting up at 4 or 5 am to play for 2 or 3 hours before work now to fit it in).
D1, then went completly addicted to D2, bought D3 and was a big let down, after xpac and how it evolved became quite good, DIV I am currenlty playing only like level 37 so cant say much, just that it looks and feels good so far
11:00 “Deeper gear of the older entries” What deeper gear? How can you call diablo gear “deep”?
2:37 you should listen, especially to those nice pings from rings and amulets :). Honestly, that feedback from hearing and having to look at/for the loot makes it so much rewarding.
I so much prefer the overall look of D1.
Compared to the other titles in the series, Diablo 3 looks like some kind of spin-off mobile game. The tone is completely off.
Diablo 2 resurection is the best
I am just stunned how well Diablo2 still looks with that enchanted version. Not sure if it is just nostalgia or there is still something there which even the new Diablo is missing.
Diablo 1 …back in 1996 i got it on release on priate CD bought on the street for 10$ ! not sure but i might get it liek a week ebfore offcial release cuz i remebe rit was around xmass when i played it for 1st time !! A also rember upgarde pc to 16mb ram so i can run it few days later ! ;p
D3 disney graphics garbage
“I don’t personally care for charms”
Please play D4. We’re happy without ya 🙂
I think Blizzard has yet to outdo the first games bestiary. I wish we saw the return of all those old classics and had more demons to slay. I just done find any of the new enemies that memorable.
I semi-recently played D1 with some family and friends and there’s an engine called DevilutionX that eases some of the pain points of playing. Not that it’s an easy game, but DX makes it less annoying
2012 looks the worst
6:01 I really hated having the ability to only pickup two items with an inventory full of MF Grand Charms.
I dont like how D4 fills your screen with your spells. It does not feel like diablo.
I remember diablo 2 expansion I am using Sorceres who depends on fire, ice & lightning spells but as the game progress majority of yhe enemies are immune to those 3 😳
Research / play Diablo II 1.00 and make a follow up of your experience
Like Diablo 1 the most because of the gothic atmosphere
Have you played Diablo 3 on pc? It looks nothing like this. I had to pause for a moment thinking you were showing the wrong game.
WOOLHAT 2023
I 100% dont agree about the bosses, no boss in any of the Diablo games have come close to the terror when I was first introduced to the butcher, lazarus or diablo. The limitations of the game made it so much scarier and intense than any of the “dont stand in the fire”-mechanics of the modern boss fights
5:16 To that “face melting 800×600” originally Diablo 2 launched with 640×480 which at the time was already way to low, 800×600 wasn’t better either but that’s all they could manage to do due to 2D graphic. You forgot to mention the 3D mode you could run(which you see as “perspective”). Back then when I ran 1024×768 that “face melting 800×600” resolution was NOT “the hot stuff”, it was more like hot garbage. Everyone knew it.
It is one of the best video games saga that got toons of chances of squeeze like have being Mario, sonic, call of duty,..
Lost MANY hours to D1 and D2, D3 just didnt hit for me but D4 feels great so far, just hit paragon on a sorc and starting to do builds! Love it.
Why would you show console diablo 3? Almost a completely different game?
Diablo 4 is not that great… Not at all in fact. Lacking a lot of content ..
Diablo 3 was my first 😅
plz stop playing this games with a controller =(
Lol what? Diablo is a dungeon crawler, not an RPG.
i sniff amazon and assasins thongs and Dark Rouges and Andys mmm so sweaty
1 and 2 the best, no always online BS with money grabbing dlc worse then the days of horse armor in Oblivion.
that frozorb and blizzard spells suck so much i wonder if its even the current gen graphics for D4.
Started with D2 before LoD. Still playing it. Still no Soj drops.
1&2 were good, but are quite dated in terms of gameplay. Atmosphere was great on those though. Tried going back to diablo 2 when remastered came out. ugh. 2 button click to activate skills is not ideal. 3 had me feeling like i was playing a completely different franchise due to its cartoon graphics. 4 just hits right and i’m loving it.
bought d2 while it was on sale a couple weeks ago, and hoping that 4d will have a sale around the holidays so i can finally play again.
I will never understand how Blizzard decied that the darkgrim, gothic, realistic saga just HAD to have it’s graphics switched to borderlands pixar art. Whoever approved that idea in the boardroom should be banned from making videogames ever again.
DIABLO 4 needs to add a QUEST COMPLETION TRACKER so I can actually FINISH ALL SIDE QUESTS
where is Diablo Immortal?
Diablo 4 is not that great… and off course not even close to be as good as d2
Good thing they left the ugly tacky look behind. Glad to see Diablo IV returning to its roots with a more gothic down to earth tone.
all i want now from Diablo 4 is a way to find people to play with within the game. like a world chat or something.

I regret not a bit the change to PoE!!! Positive surprised in all aspects! Lost so many years with stupid diablo!!!
1. Diablo is as much an RPG as FiFa. It just isn’t.
2. Diablo 1 and 2 had a sinister, depressing atmosphere. Diablo 2 had a bit more “grandness” to it, but at its core it was still sinister and depressing. Diablo 3 ditched the depressing atmosphere for a depressing auction house. The sinister atmosphere was replaced with dramatic scenery. Diablo 4 definitely has the best graphics, but the sinister depressing atmosphere seems lost forever, it’s all about dramatics. It’s a similar game, of the same HACK AND SLASH type (no, it’s still NOT an RPG!), but it just isn’t really a Diablo game, it only got the name slapped on.
It’s all as expected though. Diablo I and II were actual Blizzard games. Diablo III and IV are Activision games. The developers of Diablo 3 and 4 simply don’t understand what made Diablo Diablo, and the few who maybe did, have been overruled during development in favour of more dramatics and monetization. Blizzard is dead, has been dead since 2007. And so is Diablo, Diablo II (from the year 2000) with it’s LoD expansion (released in 2001) was the last real Diablo game.
At the time Diablo I was ground breaking. Fast paced hack and slash gameplay in addition to multiplayer – there was nothing like it at the time. Diablo II took it to the next level. I tried playing III but got bored with it and never completed it. Not even sure if I’ll ever try playing IV.
Lol wtf is wrong with that console d3 design, looks horrible lol
Hot Topic Dark 😆
800×600 was onlye after you got LOD
I noticed a pattern, you really love Sorc. But technically you also forgot Diablo Immortal.
You need to rethink what you said about bosses. There’s no mechanics. It’s just, don’t get hit by the stuff. Go into any WoW raid, or just look up Sarkareth and you’ll see what proper mechanics of a fight are.
love these GAMES I COULD WATCH THIS ALL NIGHT.
I was 11 when I first played D2. :'( Thanks gramps.
but that isnt Diablo 3 game play.. wtf is that?
Personally I like Diablo 3 graphics a lot better than Diablo 4
My cousin and I LAN’d Diablo 1. We blocked off the phone line for hours.
Diablo 1 was perfect, i still remember my clan “PAD” Powerfull Alliance of Diablo
Diablo 2 was my childhood game, wasn’t too much of a fan when diablo 3 came out and now I’ve been really enjoying diablo 4, the end game isn’t the best right now but I know they’ll add more content later on, not even worried about it 🙂
“Blackass The Sorcerer” from the first Diablo will forever be my favorite Diablo Character.
Diablo 1 & 2 is still the best
I played diablo3 way way back and I didn’t realized how cartoony it looked.
Diablo 1 was not the first ARPG. there were a lot of ARPG games in earlier decades. like for example, Ultima Underworld, Dungeon Master, Gauntlet, Zelda, etc.
Diablo 4 looks like Path of Exile II demo. :S
3 looked the worse. Okay maybe 1 given it’s age. But graphics wise it’s
3
1
2
4
Facemelting 800×600 resolution :DDD
is it bad 4 is my first 0.o
idk why the 4th one got me to check it out, i think it’s the darker atmosphere
Played 1, Defenitivaly played 2 and still do, but never played the 3rd installment. Woaw does it not look good!
Ahhh remember Arkaine’s Valor!
For me personally
3b. D2
3a. D3
2. D1
1. D4
Diablo 1 might be alot to do with nostalgia of playing it all night with my friend on PS1. Such a great classic and even better on PC obviously. I wish they went for horror atmosphere again. D4 is getting there.
My first Diablo game was Diablo 3, I was so dragged in that I skipped school most of time just to play it. I’m looking forward to play D1 and D2 some time
TLDR:
1 – ok
2 – yip
3 – nah
4 – meh
5:45 Stamina regenerated while walking in the original game too.
A huge improvement with D2 was the whopping 800×600 resolution(!)
Started with Diablo III. I actually liked and enjoyed it a lot. That was my first diablo experience. Then, just a month before Diablo IV, I played Diablo II remastered and I have say, it was way, way, way better that Diablo III. It was mindblowing. And then Diablo IV, which is like a hardcore drug.
No more boobies 😡
Never played D3 but god it looks terrible.
Two of these games are great and deep and offer good core systems and replay ability. The other two are Diablo 3 and 4
As i watch D4 game play videos i don’t get the urge to buy it. I just enjoy the D3 monk which D4 don’t even have.
Diablo 1 is still the best.
I like Diablo 3 on console if I remember every class gets a dodge
Diablo III just does not excite me, it was ok though, nothing more.
Just started with the Diablo series by playing Diablo 4
You’re right about Diablo 1. I miss that survival feel of the first game. Perhaps that might be done in another game.
man in D2, charms are amazing to have
Also there was a silver hack in diablo 1 ..I dont remember exactly how it was but i know it was in town that you had to drop your silver on the ground and press somethig if i remember correct ..it was un tho :))
Thing that I dont like about diablo is that everything dies when you look at it
Diablo 4’s best character design is Andariel. Her character design is just so well done
I would take Diablo 1 every time of the day than the horrendous WoWablo 3 and MMO Diablo 4!
Why did this channel get a kid ? Instead of someone who played diablo their whole life
Jesus when youre talking about something why arent you showing you doing that very thing youre talking about
Diablo 2 LOD playing online and creating your own hacked weapons and armour with jamellas Hero editor… those were the days. People would walk near me and instantly die.
D2 was my first, though I played Darkstone before that. I’m level 43 in D4 right now, and I would say that the gameplay, story, bosses, etc in the main campaign is by FAR the best its ever been. Also, the devs taking several pages from the design book of Guild Wars 2 will make this one much better to play co-op with friends
its good to know that andariel was just as thick in d2 as in d4
DIablo is lowkey one of the best games of it’s time. Diablo 2 seriously overhauled the recipe and is still one of the best games i’ve ever played, and certainly the first i ever truly binged. D3 was such a huge disappointment and just missed the community from the battle net chat rooms. Which were also found in starcraft and warcraft 3. I really miss that vibe.
D2 was just the best of all of the blizzard games for me, hoping D4 comes close, but i’m a bit afraid to even touch it till I’m done with tears of the kingdom!
Diablo 4 just doesn’t have enough creativity and innovation for me to spend $70 on it. Very disappointed in Blizzard for not taking more chances. All they do is play it safe, play it safe, play it safe. I agree with all the people calling it Diablo 2.5 or 3.5 and them saying this is the Diablo 3 we should’ve had 10 years ago. The open world is a good change and the MMO aspects got me excited but are severely underutilized. Ultimately I expected more out of a Diablo game in 2023. 10 years ago this would’ve blown everyone away. Doesn’t much cut it now though. The video game market is much more competitive these days, and they’re not stepping up.
Barb and barbarian😂
Lol…the butcher is still the hardest boss fight even in Diablo 4! Having him randomly appear in a dungeon is instant death 😂
D1 is by far the best. Everything that d2 did was complicate things for no reason, and just make it longer. It kept the ambience and atmosphere of 1, so it’s still great because of it. However it also set in motion everything that’s bad about the genre for the past 20 years. I enjoyed the dlc the most. D3 was a complete disaster for the brand. Made everything ugly. A hoarding simulator. But that’s thanks to d2. Plus they went above and beyond with hoarding in 3. And they completely changed the design. Going for that Warcraft blocky look. So it was like candy, tacky, both with the look and the gameplay. There was no direction, no balance, just going around and holding a button, and mashing the other buttons for spells or whatnot. Shooting lasers and so on. It was ugly as ugly is.
And with 4 I have yet to play it. However when I look at it, I’m not excited at all. Maybe they toned it down a bit with the design, but how the action is presented, is pretty much d3 still. And it still looks like a hoarding simulator and goofy. So it will probably be better than 3, cause it’s really not possible to be worse than it. Immortal a phone game pretty much looks like 3. But I wouldn’t say it’s worse. I would put it in the same category as 3.
So, 4 is almost definitely better than 3. But most likely worse than 2. Still the feel isn’t as good as 2. So I don’t see it being better than 2 at all. And for 1 I don’t even have to say.
What makes 1 the best is the fact that it’s the only game. There is no other game like that. There are games like d2. Titan quest comes to mind. But not like d1. D1 had the perfect setting. Going to cathedral, and then going down until you finally reach Diablo in hell. Enemy variety is great in the game. Quests are memorable. And you don’t always get the same experience. Sometimes some missions won’t load in that playthrough at all. Story is good too. In search of your younger brother, that ends up being Diablo. That you beat, and then get corrupted yourself. And everything basically done near Tristram. You have 10 levels, with up to 3 levels with one style of surroundings. So it keeps being fresh during the playthrough. Unlike d2 where you have dungeons that aren’t important at all, and have more than 3 levels per dungeon. You get for the most part horrible loot. It’s just collecting garbage. There’s no award for exploring all those dungeon levels. It’s just a drag. Like a job. D1 doesn’t have that issue. Cause levels are big enough, and there’s enough of them. There’s also side stuff. And since the gameplay is extremely repetitive, it is good that it’s not too long. It has perfect length, and difficulty level. Every game that came after it didn’t truly offer anything new to the mix. It just offered more of the same. Rehashing old material. D3 had like every single boss from d1. Just with uglier designs. What they did to Diablo, and how they changed him, atrocious.
Also having things like new tristram. Always making references to the first game. Every new world that was presented in arcs in d2, didn’t really match tristram. It just felt like new maps, that aren’t as good. And are copy paste levels, with different skins. Btw I just recently finally played d2 for the first time, where I took my time and beat it. Arc 1 with the grass, is super generic. Arc 2 with desert doesn’t really have the vibe of diablo at all. 3rd arc in that swamp basically also doesn’t feel like diablo. Pandemonium felt like Diablo, however it was just a map clogged with enemies. There was no direction it was just like a full pocket. Dlc had the best music, but even those levels were too big, with repetitive content. Too long, too big for no reason.
D1 also didn’t respawn the enemies. D2 does that. And every game after it. It’s an ugly design. It’s basically telling you to keep grinding to level up. In 1 you cannot do that. You have to figure it out. DLC from D1 was also horrible. But it wasnt even the idea of the original creator, but rather something forced from the producers if I’m not mistaken. And the main boss is like a giant centipede. It was stupid.
D1 if nothing deserves a port for modern consoles. It can be the original ps1 app on ps5 for example, or they can remaster the pc version for example. Or they can do what they did with 2. That would be the best.
It was super satisfying playing d1 on ps1 in co-op with my brother. We also played d3 in co-op, but it wasn’t even close of an experience. For the most part it was grindy and boring experience.
I started with Diablo 1. I think D2 is my fav and will always be.
diablo 2. i couldnt find a way to play diablo 1 (i wasnt around for either of them to come out tho). ive gotta say my least favorite part w d4 is that other people are just there. i liked how private everything felt. it doesnt make sense w the lore that anyone can just be there in the world. multiplayer is one thing but turning it into an mmo kinda ruined some of it
I’m more upset that there’s no set items.
If you think that was dark wait till you got the gotterdammerung helmet 😆probably the best item of all!
nice vid! loved seeing the comparison
Thank you for your effort. it was a great video. Every Diablo fan has their own favourite. But to evaluate the games according to the years they were released, I think Diablo 2 is not only the best of its own series, but also the best of all time.
I played D2 forever when it came out. To this day I still have the patch file prior to the hell froze over patch so I can still do the cow level before it got nerfed to hell.
1:24 Barb? Did I hear you right? Even CC writes it “Barb.” Surely not…unless there’s a new class I didn’t know about. Lemme listen again…one more…annnd yep. Barb xD What does that class do, grill meat? You know, like Barb-ecue? xD
4:00 Thankyou so much for redeeming yourself 🙂 great rundown of d1.
ugh. Does Diablo 4 really look that bad? Poe looked a lot better years ago. Blizzard ….
Skip Diablo 3 it’s trash
started with diablo 2 (base version with no patches) and loved it. didnt get into diablo 3 cause it didnt feel like it was part of the diablo series and other reasons. now with diablo 4, i might go try it out
call me crazy, i had more fun with diablo3 then 4 so far. hope things change, we really need some QOL in this current one
Why need a Diablo 1 Re!
cost: $80 + $500 in microtransactions
Diablo 4 boss fights consists of sponge shielding 3 wave bosses spamming AOE attacks, lets be real
Was looking forward to D4 until you said “MMO”
D2 is by far the best of the series, so in depth. It’s a miracle that game exists.
Its called a Tetralogy when there is four things of the same series, but anyway, this was a good video, kudos for it!
lol what a fail Diablo is 1996 😀
Yep, the less is sometimes more. Still, prefer the 2nd part from this franchise
I just can’t play the new Diablo’s. Feels too much like mobile games.
The telephone one hahahha. Glad you didn’t even show that game.
In first 2 games you could see your hero and you had open trading. Diablo 4 its not the best since its lacking core arpg element as open trading. One of the best elements in D2 was open trade.
Diablo 1 just had the best atmosphere, voice acting, sfx and music.
It is funny how the most of the comments turn around D1 and D2… I really enjoyed DIII, it is the perfect casual game plus i felt the Blizzard touch in the graphics, lots of contrasts and very colorful. I really like the brutal aspect of the game with many mobs to exterminate. DIV seems sad and produced by another studio almost in slow motion. I didn’t buy it and maybe never will.
d2
D4 is in a weird spot. Approach like like an MMO, and it seems to lack any multiplayer. I’m halfway through act 2, and I have yet to actually see someone to play with.
Approach it like an ARPG, and it feels like a watered down Path of Exile. Very surface level complexity, but when you look deeper, there’s not really much choice.
The loot is also in a strange place, it doesn’t seem to have any truly cool uniques (instead it is an aspect gotta catch em all), cool sets like in D2 or D3, or even cool runewords (I loved my necro summoner with Last Wish, Enigma, HOTA, etc.).
Classes and skill trees are also in a weird spot, where I am very much missing a clear identity. There’s too little incentive to stick to a specific style (fire or ice sorc for example), so every character just seems to be a mix of the meta skills regardless of its type. Not to mention, build variety is very low, despite all these options. There is a very very prominent meta for every character. Just one skill clearly outperforming all else. Take the rogue, I really really wanted to build a trapper (like in D2). Turns out, traps suck as main skills. You are forced to use either flurry with the 360 degree aspect or twisting blades, to do any kind of reasonable damage. Or the necro summoner, I want to be a full main summoner and just support with curses and corpse explosion (again, D2). Except, summons die super fast, do very little damage, corpse explosion is weak, and curses don’t feel impactful.
D4 is trying to do everything for everyone, and seems fairly disappointing on all fronts as a result. I am really trying to like it and I do hope I get into it or it gets better (again, in Act 2 now). For now though, quite disappointing. It’s making me miss Diablo 2 and Path of Exile simultaneously, which is weird.
torchlight is the first diablo-like arpg i’ve ever played, and this particular genre just rooted itself in my life afterwards
Diablo 2 > Diablo 1 > Diablo 4 > Diablo 3
The series looks pretty meh to me, which is a good thing considering how badly blizzard bent it over.
In fall of 1997 I was playing Ultimate Online. Loved this game until DAoC, followed by practically every MMO to date. I have noticed hat a lot of D4’s graphics look like FF14. Great video btw 👍🤙🤙🫤
I do appriciate the boss fight, untill my melee character finding trouble attack the boss simplely because the boss model is too big and hurt-box too small. and certain effect gives you an illusion that you can dodge it, with projectiles shooting out in 3 directions, you would guess you could dodge it by standing in the middle, but sorry you cannot, you would get hit by both projectiles.
Thing is, that once they shut down D4’s servers D4 ceases to exist.
55 yo played all of these EXCEPT ‘diablo 2 resurrected’ — spent many hours on the original and D2 LOD, D3 was meh. Saving up for a new PC to play D4 on, looking forward.
Wish I had played Diablo 2 back in the day. Unfortunatley I got stuck on Maplestory oop
I never got to play from 1 to 4. I appreciate being able to see its progress.
funny thing is diablo was meant to be a turn based rpg but blizzard forced real time combat into the end product
Diablo 1 is my favorite, the music hooks me every time and I really like the first hours of Diablo it immediately feels immersive and kind of intimate the sound fx are very clean nowadays it sounds a lot messier.
I’m new to Diablo, but I have to say that I like the look of Diablo 3 better than 4 :p
youre not one for charms in D2:R than you don’t deserve the subs you gt
You had me subbed at “quadrilogy”
This video had me laughing throughout. Great job, lol.
Quadrillogy? It’s quartet dummy.
why u all say rpg? its hack n slash 😉
Played all from launch till now…. well just not 4 as of let
There’s absolutely nothing unpredictable about D4 dungeons.
Nobody mentions the fact that to unlock everything in diablo 4 you HAVE to pay $550
I dont like any of the classes from diablo 4….i like classes with shield like paladin
Diablo II was my first and remains my favorite to this day. I am having fun with IV though and if it get’s better with time and updates, as the rest have, then it has a lot of potential.
it’s easy , D1 and D2 are Diablo, the others are not, they are online bs cash grab.
The very 1st Diablo gave me an experience in 1997 that was NEVER reached again…👀
So *sad and lonely* it feels to “dungeon Crawl” in that Gem of a Game from almost ANCIENT Gaming Times!
you cant compare D4 with the others, cause D4 is a fcking MMORPG
Diablo 2 was and still is the best. Diablo 4 is embarrassing.
Looks like D4 learned a thing or two from PoE
I started with diablo 3 I did download diablo 2 before that but never played it once. I love Diablo 3 reaper of souls but Diablo 4 has to be my favorite so far of the two I have played of the franchise.
4 in a series is actually called a tetralogy, not a quadrilogy lol 😂 good video
Diablo 1 can’t be remastered because they lost the source code.
The series never again recaptured the brilliant atmosphere of Diablo 1 (particularly in its early levels), but its gameplay is incredibly primitive by modern standards. Diablo 2 massively improved in that regard, though a lot of players remember it with nostalgia goggles firmly affixed and it certainly had its flaws (charms are just one of them). Diablo 3 was much more streamlined and most of the rough edges were polished off, it’s a very decent game with a good story and characters, but it just felt like something indefinable was missing.
Is it possible to deactivate these obnoxious damage numbers somehow?
diablo 1 and 2 are the bests
I started with I and played them all until now… haven’t played 4 yet….
I enjoyed D1 several times (complete playthroughs with each character class), never finished the D2 endless click-fest (quit out of sheer boredom before I got to the 3rd stage/phase/part/chapter, whatever the hell they called it), finished D3 once but couldn’t tell you much about it since it was so forgettable, and am not at all interested in D4. Blizzard is is no longer the gaming juggernaut it once was.
Diablo 2 >>> Everything else
We have kfc sandwiches?
You forgot Diablo Immortal…..do you not have a phone? 😏😂
D3 : 12 years, looks a million times better.
D4 : 11 years, hardly looks any better.
Not to be crapping on Blizzard as there was a reality where graphics evolution just went ballistic in the 2000’s, but yeah after 11 years I’d expect a revolution. But it looks more like graphics mod for D3.
I am not really too much of a fan of where Diablo went after the first one which coincidentally was the first one I played. Diablo 4 feels so distant. It plays OK but it’s not what I want.
Diablo 3 is where I wrote Blizzard off forever as a lost cause, the always online thing was unforgivable. I never got too into Diablo 2 either though I did play it for 20-40 hours.
Diablo 1 was the best in my opinion. D1 was all about being a No-Name sell-sword or a Scholar with too much time on your hands that decides to delve deeper and deeper into the catacombs and caverns below Tristram. Initially on the hunt for the Butcher to end his murder streak you quickly find yourself getting deeper and deeper below Tristram until it feels like you enter Biblical Hell itself. Through out this journey you are at the mercy of RNG and your decision making skills as to how far you can go before you reach the end of your rope(no money, no potions, no durability on your gear). The lighting which for most of D1 makes your character glow with everything else being dimmer around the edges paints a spooky atmosphere where you can often just see silhouettes of monsters creeping closer. You often don’t know if it’s just 2 or 3 or an entire platoon of undead or monsters slowly surrounding you cutting off your escape route!
Unless you get good RNG and know how to Min/Max, D1 is actually pretty hard and you’ll always feel like you are 2 steps away from the game being impossible to beat without restarting from the beginning.
Diablo 2 and beyond take away that sense of dread and a permanent game over being just 2 or so bad fights away. No longer is there the fear of unknown and darkness. No longer are you tip toeing around the dungeons and caverns looking for good attack angles and bottle necks to deal with the monsters and undead. It only got worse with Diablo 3, though Diablo 4 seems to have reeled it back a bit.
Eitherway, the Atmosphere and feel of of being ill equip to deal with every encounter is what I miss from the Diablo Series. I just want a spooky survival dungeon crawler with light but well written lore to tease me along.
Also great video; Thumbs Up
Really enjoyed this!
OK that III to IV transition is very clean, gotta admit
I love Diablo, please don’t get me wrong. I really love it…. but it is not an RPG. You are not playing a role. It’s a hack and slay levelling game…. and that’s not a bad thing
Imagine Blizzard actually stuck to Diablo II engine and release more expansions.
If they simply did this they could continue releasing new expansions to this day and the community will be totally ok.
They did a Diablo 2 remaster, wheres my original Diablo remaster?
god why are you showing diablo 3 on console 🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂
Diablo 2 LOTD was SOOOOO much fun! That was my first RPG game, so many good memories….. except that one time I dueled someone and got “popped” and lost ALL of my Barb’s gear. Sigh.
You really don’t think to consider the music, atmosphere and lack of personality diablo 4 has, in comparison to the ogs hey. Or that you can’t completely turn off the ui. Lol
Console versions…
In the original diablo 2 you also regen while walking.
Looking at screen captures of D2 triggers my PTSD. I played diablo to distract me from two parents that hated each other and didn’t mind letting every know. Computer games became my escape, and at 35 they still are 😆
I am not disappointed by diablo 4, because i didn’t expect it to be any good. Now I know I will never buy and play it. I don’t do mmorpgs.
Stamina in D2 always regenerated when walking as long as you didn’t let it hit 0.
Thats crazy.. Thats the EXACT outfit I have on MY character in D4. All red too. I named him Mephisto and he damn sure looks the part
The only thing I dislike about Diablo 4 is the MMO aspect… I would’ve loved if they gave us an offline option
Diablo 2 Ressurected looks best. Diablo III is disgusting and Diablo IV is not much better.
Dude wtf, that is my sorcerer in the thimbnail, to the T
Diablo 1 is still my favorite. I just love the atmosphere of that game. D2 is awsome and probably better, but I place it just behind anyway.. D3 is really fun but kind of… plastic? D4 is really nice so far. Takes good things from the previous games. It will probably land in front of D3 but behind D2.
Dont you guys have phones?
A lot of the mechanics in D4 came from Diablo Immortal.
In sort D2 is still number 1 and D4 i found to be dull
Diablo 2 got me into online gaming. Soooo much fun and just felt endlessly replayable. Also learned how to type properly and quickly mostly by talking trash haha.
D4 so far is a ton of fun. Loving my quick and deadly Rogue
D2 will just never be beaten. You probably should have been there back then. Visiting you friends, bringing your characters on floppy discs. Those were great times. I actually miss the endless buying of potions in D4
you forgot immortal
My first is Diablo IV and want to get into the franchise after my mom’s boyfriend wanted me to try Diablo II and I basically spat in his face. Ever since I’ve felt bad and am looking into getting the prime evil collection on switch
Wow nice comparison! I played 1, 2 and now 4 (missed 3). I love Diablo 4 so far, but I don’t feel super addicted to it, because the basic Diablo formula hasn’t changed all that much in 25 years. (including some of its derivatives e.g. Torchlight). Is Diablo 3 still worth checking out in the age of 4?
My first was Baldurs Gate! 😉 😀
D 3 I’m level 147247 some guy helped me with hacked gear
Diablo 2 is still the best out of the 4 in my opinion. D3 was abyssmal at launch and RoS made it playable. And D4 while better at release seems to have similar growing pains which future patches or expansions hopefull address. But maybe that’s just because I played D2 when LoD was already out. So I didn’t experience any growing pains. But I also just like the setting, gameplay and difficulty way more. D4 for the most part is breezingly simple and easy until you get some cheap one-shot or some difficulty spike like Strongholds which are even worse artificial difficulty spikes because they just outlevel you no matter what. Sadly I never played D1 up until now so maybe I’ll give that a shot at some point. But D2 seems to have improved on it so I doubt it will succeed it as my favourite.
I started with D1 demo in some computer shop. Bought it and enjoyed every Diablo since. 3 was in it’s own special place however. Ive been playing D4 this week and the Druid felt great.
I tried every class in the betas, but the necro felt boring and I didnt get too far as Rogue, but tried the rest up to their ultis.
Diablo 2 is the goat
Diablo 2, then torchlight 1, then torchlight 2, then ‘we dont talk about torchlight 3’, never played d3
Diablo 2 is overated and the remaster clearly showcases this with all it’s archaic systems that should have been left in the past (stamina bar, charms, throwing potions, potions taking up inventory space, town portals taking up inventory space, identify scrolls taking up inventory space, not being able to respec… and the list goes on. Diablo 2 remaster was a real opportunity to bring the game up to modern standards and they caved to the purist grognard audience and changed almost nothing but the graphics. Such a letdown.
Diablo 1 is a bit thin in content and mechanics for a direct remake like Diablo 2. It should be more like a Diablo 2 style game with the story elements of Diablo 1.
Diablo 1 is best, 2 ok. 3 horrible and 4 i wont play as its multiplayer focused. (on pc, where the games belong. Not on consoles)
Why is diablo immortal not included?
D1 loot was highlighted on your minimap, no?
The weapon oil was from Hellfire
Been playing d2 since the beginning of time. The only game in the world I never get tired of playing.
I must add, this is the first Diablo game to release without, Diablo. To be fair, this game is tight. We all know he/she it is coming. LOL Diablo boobs remember.
D1 was my 1st. I agree with a lot of this, I love the brutal surviving through of D1. D2/D2R was my fav and I played it multiple times over the years…until 4, which is quickly replacing it as my new fav. D3 I could take or leave, loot too easy & crazy, also I don’t like that WoW look. One thing I think is you should give more credit to the D2 loot system when you said 3 & 4 are more complex. The D2 loot is VERY complex imho. Literally every item type can have the potential of being useful or even extremely valuable. I miss that now with D3 & D4. You could find a blue magic item that’s worth more than almost any other item in the game if it rolled with just the right rare affixes. There were so many crafting recipes, runewords, rares, sets, uniques, and horadric cube fun. And just a huge range of stats, pretty much all of which could be useful with the right build (except light radius lol). Immortal we will not speak of, it is dead to me.
I will always think diablo 1 had the best atmosphre. It was sad looking, people looked kinda ill in that palette and you felt very mortal in those dungeons. D2 all the characters are quite mortal but also godly and the game started getting flashy. Both D1 and D2 have mood though. D2 is the better game.
I hope the OG Paladin comes back to D4 and is a normal Knight type guy not some super roided out giant unrealistic crusader dude like he was in D3. Need a DLC with the Witch Doctor, Paladin, and Monk
2:20 The Search spell came with the Hellfire expansion.
3:12 That also wasn’t in Diablo. That’s a Hellfire exclusive. However the original game does have shrines which can achieve the same effect.
4:36 The expansion added the Druid and Sorceress classes.
5:45 That was available right from the very first release version of Diablo 2.
Best PC game in 1997: Diablo
Best PC game in 2000: Diablo II
Best PC game in 2013: Diablo II
Best PC game in 2014: Path of Exile
awesome video, really enjoyed it and loving d4
i played diable 3 on ps3. so much hype for it and felt so boring. there’s hardly skill gameplay for it. find it funny how munk could equip many different weapons even dual handling yet he hit the same. with his fists. what was the point of that? but if it was more like darksouls where positioning and fighting, that would be better. instead of auto aim, having better number weapons crap
Diablo 4 is complete trash.
diablo 1 Rogue🥵
Played D1 when it released, D2, D3 and all the expansions for each. I now play Diablo Immortal and am enjoying the fact it’s on mobile as my lifestyle suits that form factor far more now rather than sitting at my PC gaming for hours. I won’t even bother buying D4 as I know I simply won’t have time to play it. I have a backlog of great games on Steam and Epic game store that I haven’t had time to play.
Diablo 1-2 Rules! 😀
Diablo 4❤️❤️❤️❤️
When D2 came out back then I didn’t have my own PC yet and used to play it on the parent’s PC of a friend. We would usually start a new character, push until we reached the monastery and then force shutdown the PC out of fear once the Smith appeared on the screen. Good times.
diablo 4 looks 100x better than D3
looks more like resident evil now days which is better
Diablo 1 & 2 by far standout. I feel 3 & 4 look too similar to mobile games sadly
I just got it the other day and I have loved every bit of Diablo 4. I started with Diablo 2, then went back to 1 and then went 3 and 4. I have loved all the Diablo Games and hope that they will continue to make more
I’ve played all but 3
D3 Sucked!
I like the first one ❤
Sheep
Lord* of Destruction. AKA Baal, the 5th boss.
Stamina always regenerated when walking in diablo 2, at half rate compared to standing still.
You forgot to mention the best feature of Diablo 2: Suffix&Affix rolled rares and magical items.
Runewords…?
1 and 2 were evil dark games.3 full of girly colours and B.S graphics.4 is an online game for kids.
Too bad everything after d2lod sucks
I started with MU…..
I started with Diablo 1 when I was 8 or 9 I think
D2 (and Resurrected) remains to be the best. Anything afterwards is overly complicated and flashy.
Fantastic video! Thank you for the effort put into this review. It’s so difficult to see past the nostalgia to give unbiased criticism and this video did that very well.
D1, and D2 are incredible. D3, and D4 are absolute garbage.
God! BUTCHER is always there!
Diablo 3 unironically looks the worst
Excuse me? Ultima Underworld predates Diablo. It was not the first action rpg… Ultima underworld was released in March 1992. And is a highly praised game by old school rpg enthusiasts like myself.
Diablo 1 = I was playing it after school on my family PC
Diablo 2 = I was playing it after college on my PC
Diablo 3 = I was playing it after work on my old PC
Diablo 4 = I am playing it after work on my new PC
Although Diablo did a lot to popularize and advance the genre, ARPGs existed long before Diablo.
Diablo IV is good.. at first, then you get to the end and the endgame is boring, the theme/graphic style catering to D2 lovers absolutely sucks, a lot of the encounters you can do with other people are really uninspired ” keep these people alive ” , ” follow this person until they recover something ” , ” stop the ritual ” , at one point between all the enemies on screen I couldn’t even see an NPC I was supposed to protect because the art/graphic style is so greyed out and bland that it’s really boring. I literally have to keep myself from falling asleep while playing. I was one of the few people that actually enjoyed D3 from it’s initial release all the way through to the end, I was unbelievably excited for D4 even after the beta, but the story in this game is short, boring and uninteresting. The game just felt like fan service to the D2 crybabies: Meshif, Duriel, Andariel and even the puny callback to D3 with Alcarnus/Hidden Camp. The endgame content will get better but after playing it since pre order early access went live I can honestly say as it is currently: it isn’t worth the money, wait for a sale unless you want to collect Lilith Altars and run pointless nightmare dungeons to study the game until the season starts.
Damn I remember playing Diablo 1 on the PS1 and then playing Blood Omen and Soul Reaver. Those games gave me nightmares just from the design and themes alone lmao
D2 battle/fighting pacing is the best, right now it feels too fast for me to appreciate what is going on on the screen…
Old heads don’t want to let go of D1 and D2. But we all know D4 is the best and highest budget in the series. It’s truly a great game from my experience so far. Wtf was D3 lmao that was a mistake.
Fun fact, Diablo is the only original game Blizzard has ever made. Their other games are have been heavily inspired by other games or even straight up copies of other games :). Blizzard is similar to Apple in this regard.
Having only played d3 on PC When it was shown on console in this video I had no idea what game was being shown
LOL lost 7-months of life to this franchise
I’ve played all of them except D4, and D2(with expansion) was the best by far. D3 was extremely boring, didn’t have any of the great feel of D2, it completely lost the beautifully crafted naming convention for items and just used generic names. The environments were also generic and boring, over-engineered graphics but without the ‘soul’ or uniqueness of those in D1 and D2.
First time playing Diablo 1 is one of my best gaming experiences.
It was just so exiting, walking around in scary church ruins, finding loot.
I even remember finding a falchion early, and man did I feel powerful.
i did not buy diablo 4 as personally i feel it looks more dated and ugly. diablo 2 remaster and diablo 3 are my favorites.
Diablo got TOO complicated, imo.
My first entry to the series is D1 and I played the most with D2. D3 doesn’t deserve the name Diablo and Diablo 4 isn’t as great as well. I hate that they made it “MMO-like”, I wanted a regular Singel Player Diablo but those guys who made the first two Diablo are left the company in 2005.
I was watching the diablo 3 part of the video and realized that it’s the console version. I never expected to be so different than the PC version. (menu, inventory, etc)
IMO LoD is still the best of what happened in this series.
❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥💪💪💪🦾🦾🦾🦾
Dude! You didn’t include the best Diablo to date! 😠
Diablo: Immortal!
Everything else is temporary, but Diablo is Immortal!
With out a doubt DIABLO 2 is the best of all the diablos. PERIOD.
didn’t compare it to Diablo Immortal, reported
Nothing will beat Diablo 2. Remember playing it as a student till morning
I played Diablo 1 and Diablo 2 (druid), then Titan Quest, and Baldur’s Gate Dark Alliance. I actually liked all of those games but Diablo 1 and 2 were special.
I couldn’t get into Diablo 3. But Diablo 4 does feel like a bit closer the original 1 & 2. I might give it a try.
started out playing D1 & D2 from my older brother I used to sneak on his PC n game when he wasn’t home, made me fall in love with Diablo, NEVER PLAYED D3 BUT JUST BOUGHT D4 AND I CAN SAY IM ADDICTED
Cant really beat diablo 2 , it’s perfect. The gameplay, soundtrack and 5sound design was amazing
Why do they have to show the damage dealt numbers above monsters as you strike them. Its like an arcade, I hate it. I want immersion like in the early days. Not Tekken 3.
We still play Diablo 1 HD version on LAN with friends (it is the Tchernobog variant) and it is hell lot of fun and challenge! There are many upgrades to the original D1 – for exaple belts or highlighting dropped items like in D2 by pressing ALT key.
Hmm what i don’t like so far in diablo 4 (from videos) is how close camera is sometimes and how world looks. I wish it will be more like in D2 with i think its still best diablo game.
to say d3 adventure mode did something… u just do dungeons get better gear to do other dungeons, there is no end game. d3 as a game is the worst of the series, it did nothing just ripped nostalgia points, even diablo 2 has that pseudo pvp that at least give some meaning to the game…
anyway diablo 4 story is kind of crappy too, but god I missed the cinematics.
well even diablo 2 story was bad as an adult but as a kid it made sense, cause you dont understand deep meanings.
For a gamer stand point, i have now noticed that we have become a group of conservatives that dont let devs have creative oversight because we want the same game mechanics and classes with better graphics there isnt much innovation in class or abilities in a lot of game series of almost any genre. There are games that do it do provide the constant new experience but that’s because they are free live service games with cosmetics that cost as much as half of the game or double in which from a business stand point it’s understandable if the mechanics of the game is not behind a paywall or new individual characters are not sold at crazy prices.
Diablo II: LoD was like cocaine to me as a kid. Never had a PC back then so I spent all my pocket money on internet cafes 😀
Diablo III was… meh. Not a bad game, but just mediocre. I played it for a while and stopped at the paragon system after a few levels.
Diablo IV… beta was fun but unremarkable. Will wait a few months for a discount before I buy it.
I’m not at all interested in a remake of any of the previous diablo games. Diablo 4 is the best they’ve made. there’s nothing they could do to get me to go back in time. Those games were good at the time because there wasn’t anything better. Now, there’s Path of Exile.
where is diablo immortal lmao
I genuinely had nightmares after playing Diablo 1 as 9 year old kid. Then after several years my little bro watched me play Diablo 2 and he had nightmares, so parents banned me from playing while he was in the house xD
My first diablo game was 3. You know you are addicted to diablo when you’re watching videos about it when you’re not playing it haha. Diablo 4 is a blast, love the video 👍
I started with Diablo 1 but haven’t played in like 20 years. Diablo 2 I was addicted to it. Playing until 3-4am and pretending to be sick and sleeping during the day. hahaha
Still got D1 with The Hell 1/2/3 mods on my HDD/SSD for more than a decade.
Tried to get into D2 since its release, many times – could not get into despite playing a lot of h’n’s titles of various quality.
Finished D3 once and never came back. Too busy with life and Titan Quest (and soon new PoE league) to play D4.
Did you really just refer to it as “the telephone one”? 😂😂😂
Diablo 1 and 2 :the goat
Diablo 3: mobile game ads
Diablo 4: don’t know cause i’m broke
This is a shameless Diablo 4 shill video
I dont need enemy life bar and number of damage. Annoying. I will stick with Diablo II i think.
D2 is king
Diablo 1 when I was 12 on a computer that my dad and I built ourselves from parts squirreled away from his job and computer shows. Getting emotional just remembering it.
Mmm i remembered that i used tab to show lot on the ground !!
My grades didn’t drop and I played a ton of D2 when I was a teen. However WoW was a different story in University, though I did later go back and finish a degree and now I’m doing alright 😀
Started back in the 90’s playing D1, and have been playing every single diablo game since (except for Immortal)
My favourite was D2 tho, i have close to 10000hours in that game i think xD
There was no Bard of Barbarian in Diablo 1. That was simply a pipe dream.
Regarding boss fights, Diablo 4 was incredibly disappointing. Super easy, drawn out and just tedious. The butcher in Diablo 1 is better than most of the fights in d4 because it had that iconic sfx and visual scariness.
Bring back the transparent overview map to Diablo 4!
Here’s how I rank the series:
1. Diablo II
2. Diablo I
3. AN ISSUE OCCURRED WHILE COMMUNICATING WITH THE GAME SERVERS. PLEASE CHECK THAT YOU ARE CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET AND TRY AGAIN.
4. Your request has timed out. Please try again. (Code 300008)
5. The game connection has been lost: your client has been disconnected from the server.
@9:30 you say that the game has a deeper skill tree. felt like being star uppercut by mike tyson with disbelief
So sad what happened with Diablo.
Diablo 1 was ground breaking and a blast to play. D2:LOD is the best Diablo game ever. nothing comes close. the itemization and magic find is real and addicting. D2R is great but the devs dropped the ball by never included a trading system and never created quality community chat channels. Diablo 3 was totally meh. And Diablo 4 would’ve been good if launched in 2016 but it’s 2023… D4 is a solid money brag from Acti/Blizzard execs. D3 and D4 have been dumbed down thanks to console gaming. Thanks Bobby Kotick
D3 was a ultimate failure compared to D2. The game lacked the “subtances” of a great RPG.
miss the lan partys back in the days. diablo 2, war craft 3, star craft, cs1.5, quake 3… was awsome. finished diablo 4 main story 2 days ago, is was a good game so far. im not the guy who play the end game stuff like nightmare dungons. helltide and world bosses just to farm some gear or paragon level. but the game is pretty good
Diablo 2 on my first Frankenstein PC.
I took a Diablo 1 disk from my friend for a weekend. He bought that disk but his 486 computer couldnt ran the game. But i was lucky to have Pentium 120. I remember all the joy when i killed The Butcher and when i found some crazy blue armor somewhere on level 8-9.
I remember how i was amazed when the basement turned into tunnels and later, back into basement.
Diablo 2 left much less feelings.
At that time we were all crazy about comparing intel, amd and cyrex computers. We all new everything about videocards, memory and monitors. If you had a hard drive of 800mb you were the boss in a neiborhood.
Unfortunately now there are no games that can give such feelings as i had back then.
Back then we were explorers. Now, all games look similar.
ermm.. playing console!? WTF
Diablo 3 was boring. Diablo 4 is what the game meant to be! Diablo Mobile or Immortal is a pay to win game.
Overrated I say!!
Hail to Path of Exiles!!
I’m not happy it requires internet to play.
D3 was Killer. Love it.
Do we have to mention the aweful cd keys for d2 and d2
I miss when the games were more of a journey than a grind
Diablo 3 is terrible.
minuscule improvement beside graphic. lmao blizturd murican game
Played D2 first before D1 and D3 but im not looking forward to play D4 any time soon, but amongst the three, D2 is the GOAT.
I’m sick of this, Tate hasn’t committed any crimes. Just because you don’t agree with him doesn’t mean u need to ride him so hard.
Same crap but reskin, imagine playing 30 season with 30 new character 😂
Mmm, actually. This video is wrong.
Zero innovation
Diablo 1 is one of my favorite games of all time. I didn’t feel it was an action RPG, it was a graphical Rogue-Like game. Diablo 2 came out and I feel it completely ruined the series, I didn’t want more RPG, I wanted for Rogue-Like. Plus it had the ugliest sprites I had ever seen so esthetically speaking I did not care for it, the balance was also atrocious before the expansion. D3 is basically a version of Diablo built for WoW fans. It worked for what it was but completely lacked depth so was hard for me to stick with. I actually thought it was ok before they nerfed everything and made it all so easy though the loot system was very poorly designed for the AH so I’m glad they got rid of that. I haven’t tried D4 but your video talking about the boss battles makes me think it won’t be for me. Extremely scripted boss battles just aren’t fun at all, it is what ruined POE for me as well. I also don’t really care for D4’s graphics for some reason.
Diablo I takes many things from AD&D like oil of sharpness, learning spells from books and so on.
Good recap!
I started on D1. We wore out that PCGamer demo disc waiting for the real release.
Comparing all of them in a short video, really shows how ugly D3 was
They must remake diablo 1
Diablo started as a really cool game, the new one is the first “pay 2 pay even more” game.
Diablo 4 is garbage, Blizzard is dead, everyone who paid for D4 is an idiot.
D2 Proper Trade system between players and Opend world PVP . D4 none of these . No thank you !
All those old games had brightness and screen size adjustments mapped to keys by default
d3 is a joke
If I had my way, I’d add a PHARAOH class
Summon giant cobras/scorpions/scarabs
Unholy n Poison spells like Radament
Diablo-esque versions of Egyptian god avatars instead of shapeshifting
Diablo 1 is the best Diablo. Dark ambience, simple but deep story, tragic and heavy. Diablo 2 just got over-hyped by millenial nerds who obsessed unnecessarily over runes and drops, not even asking wtf does amazon forests and pygmes with blowpipes have to do with fcn Diablo?
My brother, cousins and me played the hell out of Diablo 1 when it came out.
My D3 UI looks nothing like yours, i wonder why that is?
Diablo 2 was the classic , tis is the version which made DIABLO what is it now!
I prefer D2 when those unique items are worth grinding because of the art
5:45 I am pretty sure it always recharged while you walked also long as you stopped sprinting before it became empty.
for me: Diablo 3 then Diablo 2 then Diablo 3.5 (4), played the 1st one for few minutes only each time.
I played D1 and D2, but was beta testing Path of Exile before D3 launched so never bought D3. I may try out D4 though, have not decided yet.
Played early access necro to LVL 50 and i can honestly say…
The game is great but D2 is still better in my opinion…
Better story, way more groundbreaking and iconic, i bet d4 won’t last as long.
Diablo 1. I remember, there was this huge awesome build-up to The Butcher. After that, the developers must have realized how long it took, after that everything was random and generic to the end. I’m glad you went back, my memory doesn’t remember the graphics being that bad, lol.
Resurected!
Lol, Charms are really important things man 😀
I have played all of them, starting from Diablo 1 and expansion Hellfire.
My favourite is D2 and expansion, foe me is the best. But i will buy D4 of course tomorrow 6/6/2023 !!
Started with Diablo (I), played the heck out of all of them since. Now working my way through IV – and am still kinda torn on whether I like it or II best so far. The story writing in IV is definitely a lot better than I expected (especially after III), but still doesn’t have the same depth as II, and the skills (while incredibly varied in depth) just don’t seem to have the same feel of choice as II. That said, I’m still not into the post-50 paragon stuff yet, nor all aspects unlocked, so this might change…
Man, remember when Blizzard was gonna make that mobile diablo game, but decided that it was to monetized for their liking and scrapped it? Glad I don’t live in the universe where it didn’t release.
Literally all the same games
personaly i started with diablo II but i was a litll kid so i got instantly terrified at the first zombie i saw and quited the game 😂
why is the thumbnail comparing ingame models to one characterselection model?
i could never play Diablo 1, wow, even tho i have it. ew couldnt.
at level 47 and unless something crazy happens this is the best diablo game to date. Also, imo the best blizzard game to date…
D1 was my first Diablo game.
Path of Exile is my final Diablo game 🙂
Never heard of Diablo I. Can you show some game cover with that title?
what’s with the diablo 3 mobile game looking ass footage?
yeah the butcher is the same in Diablo 4 he just swings and swings
Diablo 1 will always be my all time favorite. The fan HD remake beelzebub breathed new life into it and I HIGHLY recommend checking it out.
Found the third to be sucky, liked the second.
Not picking up D4 at launch, but super looking forward to playing it. I played D2 pre-expansion and can confirm even then it was destroying people’s grades. The remaster absolutely lives up to the original with modernization that improves the experience without killing the atmosphere or “feel”. I also played D3 and the expansions, but it never hooked me like D2 did.
Diablo III’s colour pallett was VIVID & GARISH and probably the worst of all the Diablo games and I played them all. I’m back on Diablo II Resurrected while waiting for the release of Diablo IV – the betas were great if a little glitchy but hopefully will be smooth on release – can’t wait (should have bought premium eh LOL)
Nothing better than D2
you even plugged in the OLD diablo 3 UI — WOW. that brought back memories.
My first diablo ever was 3. I remember I used to play it all day with my little brother. I’m planning to do the same with D4 now
I love diablo 3
1 was epic given the time and tech back then but the best was Diablo 2 imo. All those countless hours of playing and even its map generator and loot/set system is something I never saw again in any other videogame. That feeling when after killing insane numbers of enemies and suddenly something with green (set) or even golden (Unique Item) dropped…..
And those cinematics were so epic. I remember watching them over and over again thinking that perhaps if all goes well we might have those visuals not only in cinematics but in game as well at some point in future. I remember how friend of mine was excited cuz he bought 64 MB Voodoo GPU so he could play Diablo 2 😀 He also had 64 MB RAM and it is pretty common these days to have even 1000x more (64 GB) But I don’t feel like new games or even new Diablo games are 1000x better, right ?
We must be similar age, I played Diablo 1 and 2 in High School. Diablo 2 was far better than Diablo 3 in my opinion.
Diablo 1 had the best atmosphere and music . Diablo 2 perfected the gameplay . Haven’t played 3 and 4 . But i think i’ll go for 4 for sure these days.
Played D2 regular ladder for years
Thanks for this resume, it was very interesting. I’ve played the first Diablo 3 years ago but I couldn’t finish it, it was too hard, then I’ve played Diablo 3 on Xbox 360 and I’ve enjoyed a lot.
I’m going to play Diablo 2 Resurrected in the next months
I really loved #1. Was scary and you had to take it really cautiously. I played #3 with my son when that came out and was underwhelmed and got bored. I missed #2 though so may download that remaster.
As someone who’s played all previous Diablos, this one is sick!
someone should buy my poor ass diablo 4
Damn, I was so annoyed with D2 charms aswell, wasting my precious loot space. When you finally completed your entire set for your build + the charms you would cry with the inventory space left for you potions and loots 🙁
Diablo 1 was my first but 4 is definitely awesome
Should adding Diablo 2 Resurreced
Man with this comparison Diablo 3 looks hidious!! Abomination
What kind of paper is that? Great job on the video. Im so thankful for discovering Diablo as a kid.
lol the telephone one that most of us won’t even try. I started out with D1 but I will say D2 is still my favorite over all
Zelda, secret of mana and Legacy of Kain are arpg too, not as fast pace as Diablo, but I’m sure Diablo borrowed some elements from them.
I think Diablo 1 is prolly the best of all 4, then 2, then 4 and 3. The game’s charm was that it was easy to START. You didn’t have to go through tutorial mode to get interested in the game. The game was there, and it’s up to your willpower to not get hooked onto it. The game didn’t have to sell itself.
D2 as well didn’t require a lot of game knowledge to start and have fun, but as you progress I think you do have to take some time and think things through to optimise.
Other games, do the tutorial to max level in one day, and all flashy flashy bam bam done.
i think im going to start with diablo 4 lmao the game looks amazing
First game was Diablo 2, eagerly awaited LOD so I delved into the first one and the Hellfire Expansion while waiting.
Diablo 3 was not good, had none of the flavor Diablo 2 had, the cartoonish animations were hard on the eyes, and the loot system(the most important aspect of these games) was absolute trash.
Diablo 4: after 3 hours of play, I got a refund. Even as little as I liked 3 I still played all the way though. Diablo 4 sucks so much I absolutely cannot play any more. This game is trash.
Going back to Diablo 2: Resurrected.
Diablo 2 has the best graphics
I can’t believe I found this graphics once jaw-dropping amazing and highly detailed 😳
nice video. i have played a lot of diablo and i get the enthusiasm! and it is an important game in popularizing a few things, including procedural generation and modern loot focused multiplayer games. small clarification: there were already a lot of ARPGs, including some long running series. well known examples include elder scrolls, seiken densetsu and dragon slayer.
You forgot about Diablo Immortal. That’s a fun one to play too.
What I liked about the original Diablo was that enemies packed the punch, it wasn’t killing spree as in D2 or D3 when the character was too overpowered against normal mobs(At least not soo fast)… There was a bigger sense of urgency I wonder if they add it in some way into D4 or D5 later….
D2
D4
D1
D3
in that order of greatness … D3 doesnt even need to be on the list honestly, wtf were they thinking
Diablo OG still one of the best games ever made imho. Beelzebub mod came out a few years ago and really made some of the creature comforts better.
is it wrong that diablo 4 will be my first? lol
I’m 567lbs fat and try to use my knowledge of Battlestar Galactica to attract females for coitus. Unfortunately they still do not allow copulation as I am too fat and unattractive. I must also join a gym. What exercise should I do to maximise coitus ability?
I STILL play Diablo 2
But like you did not include Diablo Immortal though😃…mannn throw that garbage pay to win game😶
Diablo 4 is giving me huge Ragnarok Online vibes
I’m tired to hear about deckard cain forever with Diablo 3.
Gods I hated D3, and I truly despised the end game. Effing hated it. I played D1 and D2 for hundreds and hundreds of hours. I clocked maybe… 30 hours of D3. Didn’t even finish it 🤷♂ I really hope they bring back more D2 story flavour.
That was cool to see, Myself I started at 3 and quickly abandon it. Never played 2. I did preorder 4 though, And Am sitting about 15 hours from launch.
Bs d4 is going back to its roots lol garbage
played all of the diablos, looking frward to d4
Started with D1 when it first came out and have run all games plus expansions. also participated in the beta testing of D3 and D4. Waiting for the early access of D4 to start tomorrow, already got the pre download on the computer. For the moment I think D4 is going to be my favorite.
I don’t like how with Diablo 1 you said “in this particular year of the 1900s”. While correct, it’s the 90s bro. Don’t make me feel older than I am.
Diablo 1 and 2 were the best… Diablo 3 just felt too cartoony, but it seems like Diablo 4 is a return to form into that creepy diablo we all know and love.
I started with Diablo 1 as well! Still not sure how I got it past my parents (got it from Costco lol) when there is a literal devil on the cover. Um, nowadays I play it through GOG Galaxy.
Diablo 2 is best
I’m a 43 yo kid, and I used to play the first Diablo online… I had a clan on it and lived one of my best gaming moments of life before the coming of mmo’s (ultima online, dark age of camelot and WoW). Played all Diablos by now and this video is really well done. Good job!
You dont care for charms??? You clearly didn’t play this game properly
In this video we can see slow evolution from iconic, bold and elegant graphics into something which looks like everything was made of mud.
1:26 barb and barbarian? arent they the same? did you mean druid and barbarian?
How many of you stayed through the video because you were low-key curious how he was going to scribble the III into IV without changing the paper?
Seeing the barrel from at a bit after a minute and instantly the FEEL of clicking on that and the tightly synced “SMASH” of the barrel and the “ching” of the money. All in one pure hit of dopamine and memory reinforcement so that years later I still feel a touch of that original feeling when seeing it.
bith did you just say 1900’s! rude
ant wait to Pirate Diablo 4
Fack you Blizzard
I cant believe how much better diablo 2 is than diablo 3. I feel bad for d3 players lol
The non-threatening, inconsequential narrative of D3 was garbage. I hope D4 does not have NPCs that totally trivialize the horror of undead and demons, and bosses that keep magically contacting the player to stupidly boast about their plans.
How did you get d1 to run on newer PC?
Love D 1 and 2.
Sexooo
Seeing Diablo 2 reminds me of what a whopper Jr tastes like when you wash it down with a Robin’s coffee at 3am. They shared the same parking lot a block from my apartment.
D2 was my first taste of Diablo and also pc gaming in general. I was 8 when it came out and I used to watch my old man play it and on weekends he had LAN parties in our basement with several of his buddy’s and I’d always be down there with them into the early hours of the morning my mom used to get so mad lol
Really great trip down memory lane. I played D1 at launch as well as every other Diablo title. To say I am beside myself with anticipation for D4 early access would be an understatement!
diablo 2 resurrected could very well be the last piece of quality software to ever come from blizzard ever again… from what ive seeen, diablo 4 doesnt even feel like a diablo game.
Diablo 1 was my first. D2 came out and I put 1000s of hours in it. D3 came out it was trash. Tried again 2 years ago and it still bad. Not as bad I at least maxed two characters. But the end game makes the game bad. Hope d4 goes more d2.. skills, stats, difficulty(d3 has no difficulty it eventually becomes 1 shot everything as they 1 shot you) runewords, hopefully not as op as in d2 but more options for useless gear like white bases. Magic and rares having potential to be better then uniques also hope makes it into d4 eventually. But most importantly hope they improve pvp and end game play. None of the Diablo really have fun end game play. I still play d2r but realistically I’m doing the same 3 things over and over.
I know your opinion is valid and appreciable because you use WASD for skill binds.
D2r is better than all of them combined
AWFULL TO PLAY GAMES ON CONSOLES with the SHITTY CONTROLLER….DISGUSTING UI. GREAT VIDEO ! Thanks
Played them all. That tune in the end gave me chills again. Wasn’t a huge fan of D3. Like you said…too much of a “loot fest”.
The Sean Connery like voice of Cain (Stay a while and listen) is legendary.
Diablo 2 is still the best. Diablo 3+4 are too much adressing kidz, too flashy, to comic/manga like. Whoever has played dungeons&dragons knows what I mean.
I still play Diablo 1 through Virtual PC
Sorry but D2 still the king
why do D3 somehow look like Runscape in 4k?
Im just gonna give my personal opinion, Diablo 4 feels better than 3, but does not compare to 2. 1 will always be the start of it all and a beloved classic, and i feel both 2 and 1 are the more difficult games in the series. Im just glad 4 isnt heavy on purchases to get better at the game, and only has purchases for basically cosmetics or a battle pass you really dont need to get.
We dont talk about immortal.
Man D1 was so good, I remember the manual with all the artwork of Chris metzen. Then D2 came out and I played it over and over again with friends for like so many years. D2 Ressurected got me hooked again… D3 Well, played 1 playthrough on my switch lol. I’m looking forward to doing 1 playthrough of each char of D4, guess that will be it… Diablo Lore is fantastic, the games were awesome then mega corps ruined it
in 2005-7 i spend so much time playing d2 and expansion 😀 it’s not even real
I started with D2
dont forget about being able to duplicate gold on diablo 1
I saw D1 being played but i played D2 and its expansion. Never played d3 but currently playing DI and i think i will never play D4 since it is played on pc which is now a days a hassle. I think i will stick with DI for now and if they cant devise it so that everbody can play D4 on all platforms, well i guess i wont be playing any pc based diablo at all.
How is D4 linear tree better than D2 one? In D2 you were only level gated, and not “put X points into the tree”, so you had more control over what you choose to level. You also had separate trees for separate playstyles, and not one linear restrictive way of leveling them up. Hell, even D3 elective mode skill choosing is much, much more better than what we got in D4. D4 tree is restrictive and strimlined, with parts of the skills (which we would previously get as “runes” in D3) fused into weapons instead of tree itself. It’s terrible.
Diablo 4 skill tree is deeper than in diablo 2? That is either funny joke, or you havent played either of games. D4 skill tree is super basic and simple compared to d2 skill tree. Also aspects are nothing new they existed for years in diablo 3.
D1 have dupes, D2 have trainers, C3 have bots, what does D4 have?
D1 and d2 good, d3 and d4 they are not real diablo games
I love Diablo 3 and I hope that doesn’t mean I will not like Diablo 4
I need help. I’ve never played these games but i feel like there is something i’m missing, because they look terrible to me. What am i missing? They seem like mindless button smashers which insist on having 1994-era graphics. I know there’s something im missing on this but so far i havent been able to find someone willing to help me understand it 😊. Thank you in advance
first diablo and second is the best of them all. now i only see numbers everywhere on the screen like wow… just hate it
first played D2 in 2002 or 2004 with my friends very addicted. I’m still a die hard fan, I played D3 and am waiting to playing D4.
Diablo 1 ::technically:: had a remake done for its 25th anniversary. It was an event done inside Diablo 3.
You forgot to mention the main aspect of Diablo series, the music! which creates the whole atmosphere in the game. Diablo IV “is back to the roots” and you can hear the notes of Diablo I & II in it. 🎼
*_Nothing will be better than D2!_*
Why were you clicking potions with a cursed and not simply pressing the numbers associated with the potion slot?
First time playing it?
25 years i skipped this masterpice.
D1 needs a remake.
I was the IT Manager at a software company and I loaded Diablo 1 onto the standard desktop image of the animator’s suped-up PCs so that my friends and I could play on the weekends. Spent many weekend nights until dawn just “playing one more level”!!
I seriously don’t know about d4 …
d2 and the remake was still the best .imo … but let’s see 🤞🤞
That mobile version’ nearly made me loose all faith in blizzard
Diablo 3 graphics are hurting my eyes
Great review! bring back memory! Thank you
In D1 and D2 you still know what is happening on screen even when using all the spells. D3 and D4 seem like something people with epilepsy feer the most.
started with D1.
D2 was senior year of HS.
loved D3 once it got fully fleshed out.
D4 is completely cracked and I cannot wait.
I sunk over 120 hours into the 3 beta weekends so far.
my wife hates me.
she has never known me while a diablo game existed as new.
she’s going to learn.
Resist all false Diablo with DPS
Resist all false Diablo that display damage
D1 was the reason I installed W95, and never regret it.
You stated that D2R changed the stamina so that it regens when walking. That was actually in the original as well. If you drained stamina, stop, let it start regenerating, then start walking, and it will continue to regen slowly. Or, you could quickly switch to walking before the stamina bar is depleted and it will start regenerating.
diablo 1 still the best
Ive been completely hooked on the franchise since the forst game came out my uncle got it and introduced it to me and we use to play online alot then more of my family started playing, i remember for the longest time with Diablo 2 i would often be in a game with my uncle, my dad and stepmom two of my sisters and some family friends and we would play for hours at a time i was the only one that moved on with the franchise and enjoyed Diablo 3 i had some friends and cousins that played but we never were able to play together but have made plans with one cousin and some old friends to party up in 4 so im really looking forward to it
Totally agree, Diablo on need a remake. I played all of them and D1 is the best I believe. It was my first to that style and so much good memories. D2 was really good as well. D3 I played but was soso and D4 I don’t like it.
Why diablo 3 for consoles? garbage
started with Diablo 1 in the late 90s on Windows 95 pc. played as released 2, 3, and 4 betas. I’m looking forward to playing the new campaign but not into seasons.
Wasn’t it ALT that showed the loot in Diablo 1?
Had Diablo 1 but always struggled to get far in the game and found I didn’t have the patience. But when D2 came out and LOD expansion, it was a wrap. Diablo 3 was okay, but far too easy and almost cartoonish if that makes sense lol. Haven’t played D4 but hope to one day 🙂
I started with Diablo 1/2 Battle Chest pack on Mac. Great ! Always lagged behind cause I couldn’t cheat/use bots…cough cough. Can’t play either cause they too old for my iMac. Blizzard won’t let me try to download D 2 even though I have a license. D 3 is great but re-running the same stuff got boring. D3 may be last Diablo game I play as Diablo 4 in Windows Only ! Sigh, after all these years……
Many low end screens did not have a way to brighten or darken the screen or even adjust hue’s so in order to compensate for those machines to make it more playable they added the “gamma” buttons as for instance on my old pc it would be light enough on the surface but when entering the “dungeon” it would become so dark I could barely see what was going on (this partially because of my graphics card at the time) Though on the PS1 it was fixed due to almost all tv’s being able to adjust brightness easily.
D1 is still the best for me 🙂
“Telephone one”. Hahaha
My first was Diablo 1, and I’ve actively avoided playing any of the betas for Diablo 4, since I want to go into it completely fresh
Diablo 1 was m y first, i wasnt looking for it bought it ps1 because the game cover looked interesting. 8 days and waiting beofre my adventure continues with diablo 4.
played diablo 1. but played diablo 2 haaard. diablo 3 alot off and on. just finished season 28. but diablo 4 was really fun to try. eager to play
DIABLOL! Hahaha
I’ve played all parts thousands of times, but I’m sad to say that since the 3rd part Diablo has become a simple calculator
I feel nothing will beat Diablo 2, i can’t count how many hours i played this game, and still dont get 100% of the uniques in the game and still never found a Zod for example…
D2R is the prettiest diablo game ever made.
D4 looks way better than D3, but still too colorful/vibrant. D2 and D1 “greyness” was perfect for the atmosphere of the game.
D1 was first and probably one of the most hyped games in my life.
I actually took the demo over to my moms just to be able to play it on her 486 (way underpowered for D1) at a literal 2fps or something crazy.
Played the hell out of it… my 1st online game.. got deep ibnto the duping, and all the madness that eventually ruined the game.. until i heard about UO, then we’d pretty much just sit in town and talk about UO until it finally came out. D2 i didnt care much for initially… was balls deep into UO. Didnt get big into D2 until around LoD’s launch.
I will sound like broken record, but those world bosses asre soo much Guild Wars 2 thing (an MMO) 😉
Diablo 3 looks so ugly
5:54 charms are end game… what is this haha
lets face it…. nobody really cared for D3 😆
diablo 4 felts amazing. my first thought was this feels a lot more like diablo 2!!!! i am so excited
Diablo 1, especially liked Hellfire.
I have been playing them since 1996… i love them all
Diablo4… ChatGPT4… only made sense… ” In my mind’s eye, I vaguely recall the mesmerizing world of Diablo 1 unfurling before me at the tender age of eight, yet my certitude lies in the recollection of engaging in the labyrinthine quest of Diablo 2 when I was just a budding gamer aged between eight and ten. That was, indeed, my maiden venture into the evocative universe of Diablo. As for the recent unveiling of Diablo 4, my experience was akin to a cataclysm.
In a breathtaking fraction of a second, I found myself subjugated by the formidable Butcher, who, as far as I understand, materializes unpredictably in the intricate labyrinths of dungeons. My impression is that certain skillsets might become the arsenal of choice for avid gamers. I came to such a conclusion after trying my hand at the Druid class, which presented itself as a beacon of power, despite my stumbles in the close-quarter battles—yes, I did attempt to sidestep the assaults.
My chosen weaponry included the robust stone shield, the tempestuous storm serving as my primary damage-dealer, the earth instant as my fundamental weapon, and the awe-inspiring ability to summon allies. This configuration guaranteed a constant rejuvenation of my spirit, bolstering my vitality in the game’s hostile world. However, upon delving further into the multitude of options, I discerned numerous close-combat techniques that I hadn’t yet experimented with.
But, regardless of the aforementioned, it’s an undeniable truth that every game has its own established set of effective strategies, the meta, if you will. I’m curious to see how talent trees will morph into focal systems, given time. A particular element that greatly stirs my enthusiasm is the concept of equipment endowing players with additional skill or talent points—I’ve dearly missed this facet from past gaming gear.
In any future game design endeavors I contribute to, I pledge to champion this element, advocating for the enriching blend of strategy and customization it introduces. I yearn to integrate such a dynamic feature to ensure the game’s depth and engaging nature, truly captivated by the idea of items contributing to player progression. “
I love all diablo games for different reasons, and hate none of them <3
I really appreciate Diablo series is kept at high standard, very good team.
hellfire is almost its own thing, shouldnt be confused with vanilla diablo. Also survivability is almost a non-issue if you have mana shield, if ur in caves without mana shield as a sorc thats a nono lol
i started whit diablo 2 as my childhood game and the remake is great now i just cant wait for diablo 4
Honestly the second time I’ve ever seen console Diablo gameplay, and thankfully later games seem to have matured since the the PS1 port of Diablo 1.
Actually diablo 1 started out as claymation models very early on, might have been diablo 2.
Either or
skipped D3, But looking back at those Diablo3 graphic and athmosphere just make me about to puke. But I am glad in D4 they got it right and gory, I would even have my lunch while grinding in such athmosphere.
What a shame is, since D3 they moved to casual online required game, okay, fine, if it help deal with pirate… But now in D4, it’s a MMO lite, you can’t even have private session and they add cash shop, battle pass, which now is still cosmetics only… And sell at $70 price tag, man, I afraid what will happen to next Diablo game
Always felt Diablo is the closest thing gamers got to a gambling addiction for loot drops. Just one more run…
My most remembered game experience was in Diablo 1 where we went to catacombs and got killed right at the entrence by a boss with his pack of invisibles . We dropped all our gear when dead and were perma-stunned until death whenever we tried to go down. So the entrance was blocked and we didn’t have a emergency portal yet. We had to fight our way from hell back through 3 levels of catacombs with emergency gear to recover our farmed for months gear. And we did it after some hours. Felt like a great achievement… Walking past every corner was pure horror… :D.
First 8 seconds of the video, what a regress. D1 looks so much better. I don’t like how much on the screen in D4 is going on, I’d prefer a simpler approach like in D1
I liked in 2 the randomized zones never the same locations
Diablo 1 was my first, but Diablo 2 + LoD has been my favorite specially the remastered version. D3 not so much. So I’m kind of 50/50 with D4… I’ll probably hold it off for now, see how it goes while replaying D2R.
Diablo IV is looking good, glad they took some pointers from POE, Diablo 3 was okay, just way too little variation in builds, and higher levels simply increased the monsters damage and health nothing really to explore once you reached max level.
Not to nitpick but the expansion to Diablo was just Lord of Destruction, not “Lords” because it introduced Baal, the Lord of Destruction. Diablo and Mephisto were the Lords of Terror and Hatred. Just seems weird to do a deep dive on all the games, just to get the name wrong.
Diablo 2!!!! Best game ever. I think it went really downhill from there unfortunately.
Loki in Diablo Universe?
Thanks for skipping the failed Diablo Immortal 😉
Diablo 1 and 2 look the best. Diablo 4 just looks like a lootbox chinese ptw pos. Looks like garbage cartoon art with damage number cluttering your view. also isometric games are for lazy game studios.
Great thumbnail 🇰🇷🇰🇷🇰🇷
Original Diablo 2 is still better than 4. It’s more adult-themed with way more customization and the RNG that makes everything unpredictable. 4 is linear with soulbond class-specific gear which ruins interacting and trading with friends also it’s pg13 not rated M.
i’ll say Diablo 1 with Hellfire expansion was the best. the game was grim, scary, and unforgiving,
many monsters move faster than you and you can be a warrior with holy bolt or a battlemage with heavy armor
oh and friendly fire and self damage. i still remember dying to my whole firewalls because i was cornered or hit by my cousins arrow
that was a great game
I had Diablo 2 on my old Windows 95, just got Diablo 2 Resurrected. I am really excited to finally play Diablo 2 again
LAN parties!
diablo 3 was my first game, i was 10 years old 🙂 good times
Damn. This game reminds me of when I was in Korea before. I always go to PC gaming just to play Diablo 2 and StarCraft 1.
Diablo 3 was soooo perfect 2 Years i played 2000 Hours but 12 Year wait and now 11 Year again come on,i hope we dont wait again 12 Years
Also D4 talents isn’t deeper then D2
I’d say d3 wasn’t that build friendly. You needed a set and that dictated how you play
I remember playing the Diablo demo in 1996 that came with PC Gamer magazine. Been hooked ever since!
Man diablo 3 really looks so cartoonish when you place them side by side like this
I remembered playing D1 and dying and losing everything and not being able to pick it back up. It felt like my life just fell apart at that moment.
_”Diablo IV is fusing the best elements from the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd game”_
Really exists a person who sincerely thinks that the 3rd has something good?
I don’t see any mention of the first release! the Diablo pre-release demo. I played that for a few days and then could not wait for the release. if I remember correct the demo was released like three months before official release. It was a bit interesting as there was placeholders for things that didn’t make it to the final release. The Diablo pre-release demo should not be confused with the “Diablo spawn” shareware that was released on the Diablo 1 game CD to copy/share with friends.
Didn’t age well? The stamina system was terrible, even back in the day.
i used to play D1 with some friends over LAN. Nothing worse than dying in Hell and being unable to get your body and gear back. Good times.
Ugh just realized I never beat the first one
Stamina in D2 always recharged you just had to stop and toggle off running and it would regen. little awkward but it’s available.
Diablo 3 is the worst.
tetralogy
I started with the first one, I still remember the music!! I played the third one on my computer. I’m waiting at 6 next month to play the new one.
Diablo 3 and 4 sucked and all of the things that the OP described as good features were the exact reasons why.
I still prefer Diablo 1 over Diablo 3 and 4. Diablo 2 is still, in my opinion, the best of the series.
I remember buying Diablo 2 Gift pack at costco. Fun times
Played 1-3. That’s the only games there really are since 4 is forced online only on all platforms, which has made many long term players hate the damn thing. 3 was bad enough having forced online for PC, but now D4 is just crap. I refuse to mention immortal since that was nothing but a cash grab junk fest.
Why the hud in your diablo 3 look different? i like it
I asked my father back in those days to buy me Diablo! He brought me Dungeon Siege and I liked it anyway!
Absolutely loved it! Thanks for bringing back memories! ❤
D2 >
Since Diablo 4 isn’t out. You should wait.
Again with this…? Diablo games aren’t RPGs. They’re hack-and-slash games or whatever you want to call them but there is no role-playing at all so they’re not RPGs.
Not sure. It seems like nothing will ever beat Diablo 1 for me. It has the true atmosphere and not like an action movie.
Played them all but never got into the series. Anyone else feel this way?
I’d love to play Diablo 2 but don’t have moneys :/
“the telephone one” :))))
Oh man D2 charms… I was a bloody hippie/souvenir/crystal shop on wheels half the time, more than half the inventory stacked with crappy charms I couldn’t let go because I really felt they were making a difference. It would be upsetting to find out how many hours I have wasted re-arranging them and considering which ones to dump and which ones to keep. I could’ve probably learned a new language in that time 🤣
Diablo (sleep was optional), Diablo 2 (awestruck), Diablo 3 (meh, cartoonish), PoE (not bad), Grim Dawn (now we’re talking), Diablo 4 (finally another good one?)
i play since diablo 1 came out and my all time fave character is rogue/amazon/demon hunter -like class ^^ so i will start with rogue in diablo 4 like i always did ❤
D4 is the culmination of:
D1 D2 D3, PoE, LA. One thing im especially looking forward to are mastery-/elite-/subclasses. being introduced to the game like in two years from now. e.g. Barb – choose 1 out of 2/3 availbale ones. that choice can not be changed at any point of the game. give us a new story driven questline to unlocok it. Barb might have something like figher, warrior, gladiator, juggernaut, berserker, ec. with a range of skills and passives with specific gear and aspects etc. all this gives more replayability and customization. introduce it at around end of act 2 when zone 2 is finished. id love it.
Began in 1996(beta), still obsessed
Saving and loading single player (Campaign) progress was the best thing that ever happened in Diablo. I hated the system introduced in D2 as it ruined my Campaign experience with ever resetting world full of monsters in areas I cleaned already.
What is the saddest part, they did not add any essential improvement to the game for 25 years. They just made look better, faster, easier and even took away the good stuff and added some crap. The brains of the developers must be very sterile.
Diablo 2 Resurrected will still make more money than Diablo 4, mark my words
Diablo made me an addict, I didn’t countless hours in game and in the chatrooms. Made some friends for life even.
The worst thing, for me, about Diablo (not taking the Hellfire expansion into account), was that you could only walk, never run.
Started with D1 long ago, don’t remember if I successfully conquered the cow level… and remember that sexy ghost skeleton armour everyone modded to have… the good ol days. D2 Was amazing but I fell off after that. Extreeeeemely ready for D4 though!! Let’s get it!🎉🎉🎉
Oof watching this on console is so cringe lol you don’t take a PC designed game and try to adapt it for console just to make more money off it… PC is the only way to play these games IMO you miss out on the modified console versions. I was fortune to play Diablo 1 since launch all the way till now and I’m disappointed in blizzard well let’s call it the activation Asian money farm and their pay to play battle pass mechanics which has ruined so many games….. it ruins the whole point in dungeon diving and hunting for your items….. now people can just buy stuff and advance … the graphics look more to the roots of original Diablo vs the stupid flop Diablo 3 art style.. but it looking good doesn’t fix the battle pass pay for play …. Big sad sigh
Who the hell plays Diablo with a controller, cant watch this
Nice overview of the games. I’ve played D2/D2R the most out of all of them. I’ll comment on some things you missed about D2/D2R. The charms in D2/D2R actually make your character stronger overall. There are even grand charms (skillers) that give + to skills increasing your power. Then there are also runes which you can make rune words out of. They can greatly increase your DPS among other things. In D2R, they introduced Sunder Charms which break monster immunity. There are Sunder Charms for each element. The downside to it is that it gives you negative resistances to that same element. There are also Terror Zones in D2R now. These give you experience boosts and better loot drops. You can farm these areas for Sunder Charms as well.
This is a nitpick, but you calling it “Lords of Destruction” kinda bothered me lol. Good video though.
diablo 4 is just diablo 3 cant change my mind
D2, D4, D3 and D1 in gameplay so far. But I’m honestly open to D4 becoming the new D2 it’s really good, waiting on endgame
I remember when we convinced parents of my friend to visit for a lan party connected through LPT cable. I remember carying his 13” monitor (13”including plastic bevel) up the hill through the town. LPT cable for network play lol. You forgot the mindblowing Horadric Cube, btw
I hope it turns out good, but I feel like Diablo4 is taking the worst aspects of POE and WoW…
Good intentions, but if someone is not knowledgeable on these games they can draw a conclusion that Diablo 3 was a good game because they introduced new “systems”, if you mentioned how linear and boring Diablo 3 was, failed attempt at comparing the 4 titles came out as a shill video to promote D4
Diablo 1 is still the best game. It was more slow paced, more scary and feeling was great. Now its hack and slash and you find worhtless legendaries everywhere.
Funny bs you said about charms and running in Diablo2, it says you know none to zero about the subject you are talking about
Periodt!!!!!!!!!!!
Deckard Cain…I hate what Diablo 3 did to him 😢. That was not a worthy death for such an important and loveable character. Stupid butterfly 🤬
My fist computer Pentium 1 running on 166Mhz kinda a cooked when I played Diablo 1 in 2000s summer and cpu fan was clogged with dust :D.
Few years later (2003-2004) I for first time played D2 and these days while waiting for D4 I’m playing D2R.
Played also D3 but still regret spending time on that game and now I see how that game is cartoonish and not looking as diablo game is.
D2 is the goat
I’m surprise u didn’t add the devil diablo immortal lol
D3 seems a Nintendo64 game compared to D2R. And DIV looks like Path of Exile 3
diablo 4 ist Billiger Kopier von D2 und D3 sehr viele sachen aus 2 und 3 in 4… hey dafür so viel geld… NO
5:40 About the running, you actually can regen stamina in D2 LOD.
Pretty honest video, so glad to hear you talking about D4 having a more complex (for what it is) skill system than D2, and ppl complaining about farming the same dungeons on D4 to power level must have temporary amnesia from farming Tristan, Yes a single lvl so much. But hey we apperently live in an age with selective memory and nothing is better than X nostalgia infused fantasy you got
Diablo 1 and Diablo 2 I got at the same time. I started d2 and literally never looked back. Hated 3, not sure on 4. Wouldn’t even consider myself a gamer outside of D2. I have probably played, no exaggeration, hundreds of thousands of hours of D2
Diablo 1, my college grades did not approve! Then in diablo 2 made a lot of good friends online which helped replayability immensely.
There’s a mod/frontend for Diablo 1 called DevilutionX that basically lets you play the game in widescreen, speed things up, and have loot always show as well as several other things. It’s pretty sweet and adds a ton of QoL to the first game which makes it much more palatable.
Seeing the console version of D3 makes me feel sick and puts me in a kind of light rage mode.
That’s just so disgusting. 🤭
Sorry, but I can’t give a thumbs up for that. Although it es quite a good video.
Well put together! Diablo 4 is shaping up to be the best yet.
diablo 2r is the best. end of discussion. 1 is good as well. rest is dogshit
The lack of any real physical connection between the weapon and the enemies in D3 and D4 is a huge minus for me. All classes feel the same, all skills are basically spells, no matter if you’re barbarian or wizard. There is no physical connection between the sword, the axe, the mace, the arrow, there is no realistic reaction from the monsters.
started at diablo 2 LoD in 2000. first year of my junior high. took many of my time and money. lol. was played it in an internet cafe
Been playing since D1. I played through Hellfire a few times in my youth, but not nearly as much as i did with the original. Mainly because of Battle Net, and i didnt kbow anything about how to make Hellfire work online.
How did you miss the flagship title in the series, Diablo Immortal! What, don’t you have phones?
I started with Diablo 2
D2 But never finished without cheats, d3 I poured thousands of hours into excited for d4
I played Diablo 1 and 2. I skiped the third one because it was NOT the Diablo “feel” that i loved previously. And it seems i will not buy Diablo 4 before they make it playable without internet connection. And if it never happen then be it. I wont play the game. I am a big advocate for gaming freedom. I wanna be able to play my games in case internet is not accessible where i am.
I played since Diablo 1… This is still the from it’s time best game of the series… Overall I like Diablo 2 the most because it was as an individual game distinguishable and epic. Diablo 3 I played for few hours and I lost interest in it. It’s full of new techniques and it’s up to the time, but those elements remind me on all that chep mobile games there are. This continues as far as I’ve seen up until Diablo 4. These games are too easy too less individual und just for the broad playerhood instead of the fans of the franchise. This is of cause because Blizzard fired the whole team after Diablo 2 because they closed their second studio in the north. They don’t know how to make the game like the early games, it’s just the name that is left. 😅
D2 all the way. Best game play ever in any game. D3 sucked hard. D2R is now very close to what d2 players wanted for years. We’ll see about D4. Looks a lot like D3 which is not good. Should have made it closer to D2R.
I started with Diablo I, and then moved on to Diablo II, which I played exhaustively….skipped Diablo III and cant wait for Diablo IV
Diablo 2 was my first. I had my first job at Kmart when it launched and I saw it on the shelf while wandering around the store instead of working. I bought it because the cover looked badass, and I’m so happy that I did. I played that game for years. Diablo 3 was lame to me. Seemed like they were trying to make World of Warcraft: Diablo edition with the graphics style.
I tested Diablo 4 and I’m pretty stoked to play it. Seems like a good updated version of what Diablo 2 was and what Diablo 3 should have been.
Diablo 1, my opinion, the best sound design in the entire franchise. I don’t just mean the atmospheric music or memorable voice acting. The sound of the hidden’s severed head plopping on the ground, the spray of blood and shield clattering on the floor when you kill the fallen, goat men guts falling out – every single kill was so satisfying, the ambient sounds of dungeons were reserved, subtle and suspenseful, every monster and demon was distinctive, intimidating and instantly identifiable even when off screen.
I love the systems and gameplay of modern ARPGS, but Diablo 1 is top 5 in gaming for me in terms of sound and atmosphere.
Haha, I feel the Butcher was a bad example, D1 Butcher big dude who beats you to death. D4 Butcher Huge Dude that beats you to death!
d2 still is king
How did you get your hands on Diablo 1 now? I haven’t played it since last century…
I was hoping for some playthrough split screen of all 4 at the same time, like the title screen. Been in both recent open beta of 4, I like it, but could see it getting old pretty quick. Was fun maxing a level 20’s gear out and destroying everything though.
I’ll never forget 2 things from those times: D1 duplicating everything, and when in D2 HC my Druid died on Diablo himself when my Internet died too. That night I promised to myself to never play HC again 🙂
diablo 1 was my first, i was one of those kids who got it to work on my janky pc and have been a fan ever since. I have enjoyed the betas for IV and i am really looking forward to the full game in 2 weeks
My only gripe with Diablo 4 visualy is that, the spell animations and spells itself look like they have been 10 years old…really sad.
Art style absolutely awesome though.
Its LORD not LORDS Of Destruction, its referring to Baal!
Nice video bro
for the game to feel fresh we need to go back to the roots of the genre and make worlds, Items, quests even more randomly generated (now with ai its as easy as ever) every new dingeon should feel different, please cut the Netflix-type cartoony darkness, embrace the grittiness. It should feel like the game of chess/rogue-like, fixed rules but difference in every play, every dungeon even. Not pre-constructed, but randomly generated.
yes please more brutal survival progression less lawn mower simulator. But it seems its too late for that now, the series went different directioin
Diablo 1 was the reason I asked my father to buy me our 1st PC.
Just Imagine. The Blizzard we knew was regularly sexually harassing Women from the time they released Diablo 1 till they got caught. Let that sink in for a moment. 🙂
thought this was a legit review. Controllers need not apply.
The reload after death in D1 only exists in Single player of course. In MP it´s similar to D2 with the exception that you HAVE TO get your items from the spot were you died. There was no quit and regain everything in the town as in D2 :/
PS I miss the bad dull Items from D1.
Hio, started with D1..well Iam old 😀 playing every Diablo game and Iam ready for D4 ! Nice video, btw ! 🙂
Greetings from Czechia
Barb and barbarian? Huh?
compared like a true diablo casual
Diablo2 > diablo3
I played 2… but never got into it.. Beat 3 really loved the story but never went beyond the campaign. Im digging 4 so far after playing beta.
Diablo 4 seems really good. Played it during the “server slam”. Killing Ashara with 8 strangers was fun. Can’t wait to join a guild and kill bosses with guild mates, like in the old days in WOW.
I hate the “mana” system in Diablo 4 so far.
Started with Diablo 1 but diablo 2 hardcore was my fav also king cow was fun moo moo moo moo moo moo.
i started with Diablo 1 all those years ago im 40 now hands down Diablo my all time favourite game series
“… those who could were completely glued to it, to the point that grades were plummeting and parents were banning use of it in their homes. It was great!” No lie detected! I’m sure my GPA went down a few points because of this game and certainly had parental time limitations enforced.
… Why you gotta say 1900’s like it is a time period in medieval history.
D3 was garbage
Diablo 2 wep and rune system is 10x deeper than D3’s.
Diablo 2 had barbarian
I remember when D1 came out I was obsessed with it, and my grades dropped when D2 came out like you said. D3 was a few weeks worth of fun before I got bored…D4 is pretty cool so far. I wish they’d reduce the cooldown on dodging.
I started with D2, then D3, then D2R and now can’t wait for D4 to launch 🙂
The one and only, Diablo II. The best.
What about Immortal?
Great video. Been playing the D4 (DIV?) beta, and I’m officially excited for the game. I’m not a big Diablo player but the beta has been a lot of fun.
Not fair. the 1997 game was played on 17″ and 2000 19″ 4:3 monitors. So you cannot show them full size like that. But yeah, they keep up on the visual.
As for D4, I think the same as others: a better D3. Not bad but not great. And with the dumb nerf they did 3 days ago (keyword is “dumb”), it confirms that the game will most probably never be great. Just look how they never been able to do skills balance properly in D2R…
D1 is still my fav. Love that game
D2 is the best of them all. Also Actiblizzard’s move to introduce a Season Pass made them extremely desperate for an 80 bucks game. No offense but I ain’t gonna pay that amount for a reskinned version of D3 with some MMO elements introduced. Also take in consideration that a 40 series Graphics card will be required, had ~60 fps on my 4080 paired with a 9700k. So I’ll be in D2 Resurrected until ActiBlizz wakes up and do something about this casino called “Battle Pass”
Server Slam was dope.
Bought D1 for a couple of bucks in 99 or so. PC. Warrior. Never beat the game, because noob. 😀
Recently did, though, with Rogue this time. Hella fun.
i guess playing all the game series just another proof of how old we are now T_T
hellfire is a bastard child i refuse to admit exists
necromancer came in like 1 or 2 years ago
Started with Diablo 3 in 2013, I boycotted it because the lack of a Paladin. Figured out they released a paladin 2 years later had very much interest to play it but didnt. I finally got around to it this year 2023 was on sale after the d4 march beta i gifted 5 of my friends d3 reaper of souls & d2 resurrected for the price of delux edition of a game [ 120 CAD ] Very much enjoy D3, D2. I just figured out that Immortal is available on PC
DIII and DIV are unwatchable. They represent the definition of kitsch, they are tasteless to the core, festering with excessiveness.
“in the remastered they changed it so it regens while walking” in the original you had to stand still for a sec but still regenerated while walking
I’ve been playing Diablo since ’97 and I can honestly say I hope this is the last ARPG Diablo. They need to take it in the direction of WoW or retire Diablo for something new because everything is getting a little old. Cars, homes, lifestyle all change and upgrade in time. D4 needs to be the final conclusion, or it needs to upgrade.
You missed Diablo 2 Resurrected. That is important to compared with D3 and D4.
my biggest problem with D1 was that you had no clue what the attributes did. and D2 had the same problem to some extend. because as it happens they were basically just for unlocking items and only vitality gives you a bit of health and thats pretty lame.
D2 had the best in game music, hell i even went of the way to download Spotify and have D2 OST play over D3s lol.
You always regen stamina while walking in the original d2, you just gotta stop for 0.1 seconds until regen starts and then you can walk while it regens
“Everything has to be an MMO!” This is how WoW ruined Blizzard games.
diablo 3 sucked at launch.
My wife is brand new to the ARPG scene. She’s not really a hardcore gamer, but in the past few months, here are her final ranks:
PoE = D2R > D3 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> D4
She doesn’t enjoy d3 very much, but abhors d4. We tried all 3 betas, had to refund super edition pre orders today.
I was surprised, because on paper she is D4’s target audience, but she was miserable every beta (including this server slam)
for me, PoE and D2R are the only ARPGs I can stomach to play. The rest I dislike. (so far. Hope some more things come to the market that are up my alley, but I’m definitely not the target audience for diablo 3 and 4.)
At least in D1 and 2 I could tell what was going on. Wish we could go back to 2D.
i remember seeing my friend play diablo in the mid to late 90’s it never really interested me, i was more into Warcraft then when Starcraft came out i was HOOKED. Then i noticed the graphics improve on Diablo 2 when my friend got it. I later got into COD and WoW and it wasnt until 5yrs ago that i finally decided to give diablo a try so i got myself a copy of D3 and liked it. I am curious to buy D2 Resurrected for the nostalgia. This time around i did pre-order D4 and im 100% ready for it!
Sheesh
I dont know if anyone pointed this out yet, but the fact you stated that back in the day you couldnt regen staminga while walking is simply not true. Tho either you had to start walking BEFORE the stamina ran out or either you had to stand still after it depleted and when it started regen again you could start walking. I didnt think of this as an issue tho instead it felt more like a realistic piece as if you are seriusly fattigued in real life you would want to do a complete stop and just catch your breath and then start walking
diablo 2 better than all others
what mic do u use?
My first Diablo is D1, my favorite Diablo is D2, the version of Diablo I have spent the most hours on is D3, my most anticipated Diablo is D4. Good Diablo summer y’all 👹
Diablo at consol sux, at pc’s are much better 😉
Diablo 4 will be my first arpg, I just pre-ordered 30min ago. It looks great and since I am MMO veteran, I think I will like it.
Ah yes, playing Diablo 1 late night on a Friday in my parent’s basement, on two adjacent desktops in a lan, sipping on parent’s liquor just enough to where they wouldn’t notice. Pretty good childhood.
Diablo noob.
Imagine believing there a more than 2 diablo games
Dogshite mmo
Diablo 4 is basically a copy paste of Diablo 3 and World of Warcraft right down to the itemization and cool downs with very little fun involved…🥱 … 😴
Diablo 1 Times where great days man, everything was awesome where today everything sucks
Meh, D4 is basically a more polished Lost Ark. Not a big fan.
Me: “Hehe, he’ll need another sheet to draw IV on there.”
*seeing how you did it* “Wait that’s illegal.”
I started by playing a demo version of Diablo I and later the full game. The game I’ve played the most is Diablo II. Diablo II: Resurrected, was somewhat better. When Diablo III came out I didn’t think it was very good. Really looking forward to playing Diablo IV looks really cool. Even better it includes the best stuff from Diablo II and III
I started with Diablo I, playing co-op with two other friends using a serial cable. The host could see both players, but they could not see each other !
Diablo Immortal was my first Diablo and I have never played a ARPG game up to then and it was pretty fun. Its super repetitive but learned all about the mechanics of the newer Diablo games like paragon levels using gems on armor and the returning classes like Necro,Sorceress, BARB. Then I got Diablo 2 Resurrected…. I now understand the hype on this game. I’m fully immersed and the gameplay is faster than I would have thought early 2000’s hardware to be. Now I’m on ACT II as a lighting Sorceress and switching from the new version to the classic with the push of a button is always a must when exploring new areas. As a new player to this franchise I hope they take the spirit of Diablo II into 4.
I scroll the comments and see no one being upset about the fact that this guy used D3 Immortal instead of D3 footage…
none of em will ever compare to Diablo 2
D4 sounds horrible… I would like to be wrong, but I just dont see anything of high value in the game currently.
Diablo 2 was my favorite. I used to play the game via tcp/ip with players from Romania and SoKor.
Urgh, hp bars and numbers floating the screen.. why.. why…
I can’t wait to buy season passes the %500 mf bonus is going to be littyy
Diablo 2 opened up a world of pleasures! I’m surprised you didn’t mention Diablo immortal. I hate micro transactions but the gameplay is still pretty good.
D2 is my all time favorite. I am also extremely thankful for D2 resurrected … this is exactly what I am looking for. If D4 fails , I can always go back to D2R.
Played Diablo I, but it was too hard and I never beat the game. I played Diablo II a bit back in the day, but I remember it having a lot of player killers and hackers. I played through the whole game recently when the remastered version came out and enjoyed it. I was excited for Diablo III, and played it on day 1, but I ended up not liking it that much. I played for maybe a month, but D3 felt like an oversimplified and less fun version of WoW with worse controls and worse gameplay, so I ended up picking WoW back up instead (maybe that was Blizzard’s plan all along?). I played the D4 beta, and loved it. I like that it isn’t cartoony like D3 was.
I was like 8 when I first played D1 and have played each game since. I enjoyed your review and comparison, well done! Can’t wait to see what D4s story will be like and the new lore to learn with it.
My favorite will always be D1. However, as an grown up that no longer has the time to play, I think that D3 need some more love. I know, it is not as should be, but it is still a good game for casuals like myself. D4 I have a serious concern about the mmo inserts. I don’t like to depend on people to play, and I always play at random times. Things like in diablo immortal: you must have 8 people to do something, that is just a casual player killer.
You really did D3 dirty by showing console gameplay smh, made it look like a mobile game lmao
Haha great video!! I started with D1 and played all of them except for D4 . Love to make mod games on D2 and loved the online market place in D3! Hooked on DI now just because of playing on the phone!!
D2 got me into gaming. Until now it’s among my favorites of all time
Yeah.. as a player that never played D2 before, I started playing it with a friend and we dropped it after a week or a little more, not having nostalgia makes the game unbearable to play in my opinion.
How can you forget the best Diablo game of them all…Diablo Immortal. It is a classic game that gave fans everything they ever wanted. Completely balanced with no p2w aspect at all. My favorite Diablo game hands down.
I know theres gonna be people who wont be able to read the sarcasm, and for those folks, bless your heart. Lmfao
diablo 1 did chain lightning best
The modern games are way too “gamey” or arcadey with numbers and notifications popping up all over the place. I hope it’s toggleable in D4. D1 and D2 better captured a certain environment and atmosphere.
I was forced to play Diablo 1 back in 2000 while everybody Else was playing d2 because of my okd win95 166mhz pc which couldnt handle d2. Till today i prefer d1 to all its next titles in the series because its unique eerie horror feeling i miss in the next installments.
Ive started with diablo 1 aswell and every year i stil replay diablo 1. Then i played d2 for a long long time. Even when d3 came out i prefered d2. I did do play d3 but a lot less. Thats why i was exited when d2r came out. till the day on i still do play d2r but duo the botters even playing seasonal isnt worth anymore. People selling 100+ hrs within 5 days of playing is just not worth playing it anymore. Atm i turned back to d1 + hellfire. I played d4 beta and im happy d4 beta comes again next weekend. I pre-ordered the game and when it comes out i will play 24/7 for a few days since im free from work that time. Great vid btw. Nice content. Always had a dream to make youtube vids aswell / stream but duo the lack of free time and a lot of work im not able to. But so far i like ur content. Keep it up. Cheers
Thanks for not inclueding Diablo Immortal, it would have ruined this awesome video!
d3 is still an amazing game, if you want power creep. the gameplay you showed is like super noob idiot gameplay. come on at least try…
@ 0:04 It became a mess. For me it is hard to believe someone actually likes this. I stick with modded Diablo 2 Resurrected (I disabled the visual effects of curses/auras and the stupid green tint of poisoned enemies)
So DIablo 3 was slot machine RPM and Diablo IV is a second hand Path of Exile
you are just a casual and for the most part of the video don’t know what you’re talking about
shame that you missed out the d3 terrible auction.
Started with Diablo 1 but when Diablo 2 was released, it was such an insane improvement in every aspect, I don’t think many felt the need to go back to the first.
Diablo 2 is still best
Thank you
For me, when talking about best games ever made, diablo 2 is up there with HoMM3, BoTW, SW:KotOR, Elden Ring, Journey, etc. There are a lot of “best games ever” because we keep coming back to them, or because they left us with something that defines us. Ageless masterpieces with disgustingly addictive gameplay. For me, I don’t know if D4 will make that list. I hope so.
Я так понимаю дьябло 5 будет не раньше 2030 года)))
Played them all when they were released. Can’t wait for D4!
Diablo 2 was my start at the age of 10 years old in 2002. Ah the sounds of dialup, “moo-moo moo moo moo, moo…. moo moo mooo” and constant 5-10fps.
Try Diablo 1 – Belzezub. A perfect single-player mod, adding old cut quests, and more.
I’ve played all diablo games, except for Immortal and I have to say:
D4 is the best game i’ve ever played, I hope it doesn’t turn in a shitfest like D3
I still would rather play Diablo 1 or Diablo 2.
Diablo 3 ruined everything
When you say “deeper gear systems of the later entries” do you even know what you’re talking about? D2 was probably more complex than D3. You had to have a spreadsheet open with IAS, FHR, FCR and other breakpoints…
I love how survivaly is diablo 1
Its actually mind blowing how inferior is Diablo 3 to all the other titles in terms of visuals and style
I would gladly come back to kill the Butcher whereas I wouldn’t download Diablo 4 if it was for free after trying the beta. Why? The reason they made Diablo 2 so quickly after the first part was: “you like this game? Wait, we got more!”. The reason they made 3 and 4 is “You paid for this game? We will make more stuff for you to pay”. It’s not about the game, it’s about people.
As a 14-year-old I played the hell (pun intended) out of Diablo and Hellfire. Even today not many games have accomplished the density of that game’s atmosphere. It was truly ahead of its time.
Diablo 2 today has better graphics, then Diablo 3
at about 6.57 your wiz somersault forward. With close to 2.4k hours on wiz I never seen that happen. is it a thing they put on console to help out from not having a cursor to place when wanting to avoid danger? if so can you somersault thru mobs?
When i see D4, I see D2 with a price tag of $70
Diablo was my main goal when I first played the game. I researched his strength and weakness before I challenged him on my lvl 30 Necromancer with 11 fragile minions.
To my surprise I able to destroyed Diablo in 10 seconds on my first playthrough. Once he’s dead, I moved on to other games to escaped the never ending room with a hundreds doors xD
I still got the videos on my profile
Don’t eat at KFC. Stop eating animals.
I still love D2 mainly because you actually use your weapons. They are not just a display peace that raises Stats. I like having a sorc that can use a sword or a necro with a usable dagger. With that beings said I am extremely excited to get into D4.
really glad diablo goes to “realism” direction with graphic rather than this cartoon style that we had in Diablo 3
Started with D1 but soon after found my RPG fix in Baldurs Gate / Ice Wind Dale Series.
Played quite a bit of D2, mostly on LAN-Partys. Guess i played D3 the most of the pack (though even that not that much in comparison to many ARPG players).
Haven’t tried D4 yet (PC/Graphiccard broke down before beta, have no new hardware yet and am currently gaming on PS3/4)
Tried D2R on PS4 lately but after having played D3 it feels pretty clunky… having X-Com like Hitratings(standing next to an enemy a trashmob and missing 10+times in a row at 95% hitrate…) doesn’t make the feeling better to me so i dropped it again
I’m sort of hopeful for D4 though as they seem to have improved the thing that i disliked about D3 the most: Itemization (who thought it would be fun to be shoed into specific skills by giving absurb buff numbers just to these specific through Setitems?)
Stamina Potions for D2r stack so dont forget that. Pick up every one you find early and even buy a few and with a movement skill like Dash or Teleport you can mitigate some of that early game stamina stress.
Diablo 2 was the first one I played when i was 7 years old and I considered it My favorite Game.
Today I’m 27 years old and I still consider it my favorite Game.
the first one still the best in graphic terms.
I have played all of the games extensively, but truth is, I don’t enjoy going back to play Diablo 1 and Diablo 2. The quality of life, controls and other things are just too infuriating to deal with. The stamina bar, limited stash space, limited respecs and many other things just get in the way of the fun.
I enjoy going back to D3 from time to time. It’s not the hardest game, but it can’t be denied just how well it plays even today. It just oozes polish and fun and has aged perfectly.
Diablo 2, the cowlevels, the hacking of charms and gems to make ur stats rediculous. and going to pvp other ppl was the best moments of my child hood. amazons were the best class. i think they always slays in pvp.
Loved D1 and D2, D3 was just OK. D4 is just a poo cake. seem sweet, but taste like excrement
I want d1 with d2R graphics
god of gods skidrow now isn’t it time to crack this game? (3)
Diablo 1&2 and Starcraft 1 have a lot of vibes from 80s movies – Dark fantasy and Sci fi like Conan, Aliens etc.
That’s why they feel SO unique, especially for people that also grew up on these movies.
We could argue that D3 and especially SC2 have high aesthetic qualities of their own, but the retro movie vibe is essential.
Ultima Online came out in Sep 97 and it was WAY better than D1
My first Diablo was Diablo 1 demo – been a fan since day 1…. And Blizz almost lost me because of the Immortal pathology they sludged out to the world
D1, multi player over null-modem cable with my sister
You have my like Sir just for stash 😀
Wait. There is a Diablo 3?
I replayed DII (remake) recently, after playing about 3000h of Path of Exile. I could not believe how bad the potion system felt.
did a complete playthrough from normal to hell on all three classes in D1 recently. It was s o m u c h f u n.
The very first.
wish they kept the same direction as d2 lod…
started with d1, my favorite still d3 with rift and grift system, also the season make us come back and try new stuff.
COMPARE DEEZ NUTS
We didn’t come as far as i would have hoped
Didnt mention that you can’t run on d1
Dont play diablo on consoles for the love of god!!!!!!!
I played D2 from 6th Grade (2003) until my Senior Year of High School (2010.) I still miss it sometimes. I’ve been playing D3 for 11 years. I’ll probably spend a decade or two playing D4. I seriously can’t wait for it to come out. I told my wife I want it for Fathers Day if anyone gets my anything.
3&4 are trash
how the did you get the sorceress outfit red!
Diablo 2 and LoD still winning in literally every category 🙂
I started with Diablo I but Diablo II turn out to be more exciting for me to play. but I don’t feel the same about the diablo II remake, I would prefer to play Diablo III over Diablo II remake. I didn’t got to play diablo IV beta, it was a mess just trying to login. So I decided to wait for the full release.
Blizzard: remake Diablo1 with the graphics and systems of D2 Resurrected. PERFECTION
Since D3, Diablo became Drago Ballz. Just a flashy thing lots of colours and numbers on the screen 🤮
D3 is easily the worst. Loved the D4 beta though
I played Diablo 1 and made it one of my favorite franchises
D1 i dident even know what the stats on the items ment 🙂 Somehow i got trought it.But d2 where i rly got hooked. We used to have D2 lan 🙂
D2 Remake is the best and nothing will ever top that. Blizzard had a chance with DIV but so far has not delivered. Game feels like an arcade machine game full of prompts that ruin immersion.
Started with Diablo 1 and loved using the sorceress to cast fire walls in a room and close the doors in front so all the enemies die. Diablo 2 was great playing local network gamings with my family of 6. Did past Diablo 3 but didn’t have that same feel as D2. The graphics were better. Hopefully able to play with friends and family again on D4.
diablo2, the best
I started with D2 back in some time around 2001 but not real sure (time sure flies). it was prior to LOD expansion. Things you have to remember about these games are they didn’t start out very refined. D2 and D3 both started out with pretty lackluster loot. I’d say D2’s loot took off with the LOD expansion. and D3 took maybe a year or so before it became a “loot Pinata”. Rares were top of the line gear and most of us played for the fun without caring about min/maxing though that was mostly early d2 times imo.
As an adult, I realized how potent of a stimulant Diablo II was. It’s truly a drug that was only ever paralleled by WoW in its time. There’s no effin wonder I was completely hooked and absorbed by it.
we went from semi transparent overlay back in 1997 to having no overlay in 2023 just have to shake your head.
You’re not really comparing anything.
You told the audience next to nothing about what any of the games are about.
Amazing video btw
I refuse to believe you played diablo 1 on launch how old are you? lol
“Don’t care for charms” this guy doesn’t Uber 😁
I downloaded Diablo Immortal on my phone and it was so much fun that I went and bought the Diablo 2 & 3 combo. The story is amazing and though it’s very complicated, it feels very rewarding to play. I remember seeing my older brother play Diablo 2 when I was a little kid, and I remember how excited he was to get the expansion set. It was genuinely spooky for me to watch him fight all these demons in caves and tombs. Finally I get to enjoy playing it through formyself.
So funny that people were saying that Diablo 4 looks amazing and Blizzard never aimed for amazing graphics.
Well that’s a BIG lie… almost all games that Blizzard shipped looked amazing if you compared to competition except Diablo III.
Diablo 2 looked amazing, World of Warcraft on release looked miles better compare to Runescape. Any CNC game looked like a mobile game compare to Starcraft 2.
I’m really happy about the graphics, it looks like a REAL proper Blizzard title. 🤩
Diablo 1 was the best game in my opinion. A “Ressurected” remaster of D1 with some quality of life changes would be glorious!!!
diablo changed the arpg genre? wtf … it didnt even exist .. diablo invented it … first misleadin information in first few seconds ..
Started on 1, loved 2, (replaying now on resurrected),played the crap outa 3(still am),4 beta has got my 53yr old bod stoked like I’m a late teen again.
D2 Resurrected is still the best Diablo IMHO because its such a good remake of the only masterpiece level diablo game. D3 and 4 are made by “new” Blizzard and it shows.
Imagine pretending to know something to make content
Your giving your advice without playing any of the diablos as of the past year? Cringe
I started with Diablo 2 maybe even the expansion
When it launched Diablo 1 redefined PC gaming for me. It will most likely remain my all time favourite.
Diablo 1 atmosphere & lore. Always imitated, never matched.
You can always improve the gameplay, not the atmosphere if you don’t have a soul. Mark my words.
It is “Lord of Destruction” not “Lords.” It’s referring to Baal
Plus, staminal always regened when walking, you just had to come to a complete stop before you started walking again
I love D1, but never liked the unoficial expansion hellfire, idk seems pretty diferente from original D1
man.. if your scrolling from d3 to d4 in the video you barely notice the diffrence, but go from d2 to d3 and you can see it instantly, XD heavily influenced in terms of action combat in d4… i just miss the more slow paced gameplay of d2 although i played the beta and got up to 5-6 characters to 25 , and going to play it alot when released
Awesome video Alex!!!
Reaching lvl 99 in d2 was really something =]
Diablo 1 on Pc !! Over 6 Years with Warrior and King Sword of Haste !!! Its over 25 Years ago
4:16 “EPIC CHILLS” !
Diablo 1 is an GOG ( for PC ). I play the demo diablo 1 first 🙂
D1 was the closest to what I imagined a D&D pen and paper rpg was like as a computer game. As newer versions came out Diablo moved away farther and farther from that idea, which is kind of sad. I did like D2 and D3 for their own reasons though, but still on the fence about D4. D4 looks and sounds gorgeous, but some elements irks me like the MMO stuff and the feeling that it could be turned into a mobile phone pay to win style game in an instant as soon Blizzard decides they can rip off their players. Honestly, D3 wasn’t that great at launch either and has seen significant changes throughout its lifespan. So maybe it’s a good idea to just go with it and see it through al those changes ending up with a great game, hopefully.
Btw Reaper of Souls didn’t introduce the end game content though, it just added a new class and a new area. Rifts, bounties etc were already there before RoS arrived iirc. But they kept added stuff like set dungeons, seasonal specials etc.
only 2 were actually made by blizzard. its activision-candycrush now.
Stamina has always regened while walking in D2.
dit you try D3 on PC ? the PC version is really a different game compared to it is on console 🙂
you had a stash in the first game, a huge one the size of a town
Diablo 1, the best Diablo game ever. The nostlagia cant be beaten.
Its incredible that 23 years later they havent figure out yet how to make a better game than what Diablo2 is.
Diablo 4 is trash compared to Diablo 1 and 2.
D3 looks like a mobile game
In my opinion Diablo 4 should get rid of pylons and re-introduce shrines.
Also they can make it a lot grittier still.
6:40 the biggest middle finger to Diablo fans ever made…
Diablo LoD v1.09 was the last good diablo imo..
Diablo 3 looks worst
Diablo 4 is gonna be awesome! im ready!
D2 is best
i loved the D4 beta so much, im extremely excited for it
The first 3 were all amazing for their time.
The beta weekends of d4 sparked my interest for gaming again after over 10 years of basically not being interested in gaming.
I was very much positively surprised by how it felt. Some kinks of course but hopefully itll be ironed out.
D2 was my big time sink back in the day. Later it was Eve online. Kinda insane how much time I spent on gaming..
barb and barbarian?
Very cool video and helped me build the hype for D4!!!
First time ever seeing D3 on console, looks wild to me
D3 the best
It’s worthy to point out that 800×600 was only available with the LoD expansion… the OG D2 only had 640×480.
Based off the original time line between the first two games. We should be at Diablo 9 or X.
I’m still playing D2R
Played them all and love them each in their own different ways, Diablo 1 HD mod is where it’s at and ofc nthing will ever beat Diablo 2 but D2R is not bad and the enhancements and additions make it even better and hope they continue adding more.
Diablo 1 only has Warrior, Magician, and Archer/Rogue class right?
Diablo 1 + Hlfr — GooD👍
Diablo 2 + LOD/Resurrected —- GODLY, more as 20 Years and still Go💪
Diablo 3 + RS —— TRASH👈
Diablo 4 —— Time will show how good this game was💥💫
Been playing Diablo since the late 90s. Still play d1 and d2r. Wasn’t impressed with 3, but played through it once. Diablo 4 looks promising but if they don’t fix the zoom and zoom out then it might have to be a deal breaker for me. The beta was painful to play with how close it was zoomed in. Time will tell.
Would be nice to have d2 UI, d3 leveling and world, d4 bosses all in one.
Hot topic dark 💀
Walking always regenerated stamina in D2; that was not unique to the remake.
PS1 Diablo 1 coop with my Dad and brothers. Just played 4 during the open beta and it got me needing more so bad I’ve blitzed D3s current season in a week 😅
4 seemed more like the classic version was glad to see the butcher return in 4 as well
Saturated with Diablo I and played everything as it came out up to now. Loved the beta for Diablo IV. Can’t wait to play that game some more when it releases. Best franchise in gaming.
Diablo 1 deserves a remake. But I want them to go full horror feely. True terror in that cathedral. Make it as dark as possible.
in awe of the visual part of Diablo 4! the environment wins back the atmosphere by 100%! but the most amazing thing is the visual effects of skills! everything is very beautiful, brightly effective but at the same time concisely minimalistic! in contrast to the pretty annoying chaotically gushing madness all over the screen for all her predecessors in the genre!
Diablo 1 was the first for me and I was a little kid back then, my dad made me play it when I was 6 years old for some reason but I absolutely grew to love it nonetheless and when Diablo 2 came out just a year later I didnt pick it up instantly, probably had other stuff to do at the time but a good amount of time before LOD I played it and loved it even more, as you said yourself people were glued to it and my case was no different. I still play D2R to this day and love it. Somehow it feels a lot better than D3. I have played that most season for a couple of weeks also though and initially when it came out. But D1 and D2 just had something magical about them that I doubt even D4 can bring back, although it is looking to be a nice game.
imagine create a new genere with d1 and now play it more then save and bring no innovation at all^^ tripple aaa these days…
I started with 2
Alex playing D4 in console. So, fck that
as someone whos played none of them besides 2R earlier this year. I cannot purchase d4 in good faith that I will get a quality product that will not get patched into p2w garbage later. D2R is already good, and I know its not going to be ruined by current gaming trends like diablo immortal appears to be. I am satisfied with D2, and see no reason to even look at D4 for a long while.
I honestly got to level 20 with the d4 beta and put it down, up probably still get it to play with my friends but I wasn’t impressed. For point about the boss battles being better but I feel like the combat was a big step back. The variety of skills and the way they could be altered felt waaaaay less than D3 and the skill tree just felt really underwhelming. I am not a fan of skill trees that have insignificant nodes and this game is full of them, often used as a tax for the more significant node you wanted
Overall the character builds felt lifeless and static with e very little interaction stock. D3 put a large emphasis on set gear as well (which I suspect 4 will have, it better or else it’s really far behind 3) but D3 still had many builds where you didn’t really need sets or legendary effects for them to feel synergistic and complete.
I’m hoping that D4 hid much of what makes it good from the beta because if not, I’m really worried that it’s going to be a pretty forgettable experience that relies too heavily on it’s shared D2 DNA for nostalgia and that would be a shame considering how good the D3 end game ended up being
Very well said. i couldn’t agree more
Glad that Immoral isn’t a thing.
dem 800×600 monitors were thic boiis
Diablo 1 baby. Been hooked since but D3 and immortal were like hitting the hole in the wall diner and ending up on the toilet at 2am puking and crapping your guts out.
Got to level 20 on the Druid in D4 Beta and loved how much harder it was then the other Diablo games. First time I’ve ever died in boss fights in any Diablo game. Not totally sold on the MMO aspects. But excited for the game. It’s been my goto game my entire life. Always coming back for more.
Heya Alex, solid video here. Love your work
really am i the clone or am i the failed original ?
11:35 Bruh D1 has amazing mods, it wont be lost in time
The sense of mystery and discovery back then, when you got a game, installed it at home, had no internet or didn’t know how to really use it or whatever, and just started playing, just heard a few words from your classmates.. and then explored it all on your own. It was an epic experience. This sense of wondering into the unknown is completely lost for the current generation of gamers. That is kinda sad. I recommended Elden Ring to a son of a friend of mine. When I came over few days later, I watched him play… meta build, knew every exploit, spoiled himself everything.. well, his loss. But imagine you discover a game like Elden Ring truely blind, as I did, it was absolutely mindblowing. Reminded me of the old days when I descended the cathedral, or explored Black Mesa, for the first time, not knowing much besides a few screenshots in printed gaming magazines and what my classmates told me. Magnificent.
Can’t wait for Diablo IV!!! Been a fan ever since the first one way back when. My body is not ready for the sleep I’m about to lose in June…
Real OGs know about duping Godly Plate of the Whale 😀
I bought every Diablo game (+ expansions) on launch day and still play them all to this day. I’ve always loved the Diablo franchise and can’t wait for D4 to come out.
Shift to attack is a severely underrated mechanic that has been dropped since D3
D1 started it for me, D2 was the best, D3 was good, D4 looks great 🏹
I gave you a sub just for how beautiful this looked. 4090 4k?
I think there’s a type of zombie in diablo 1 where each hit will permanently reduce your max life.
Butcher in Diablo IV was same as he was in D1. Too fast for you, and kills you instantly if you do not know how to make a cookiecut build.
Hellfire was never officially an expansion, but Sierra didnt care. 😛 This is how Cow suit / Cow Level became a thing.
More of the same stuff we been playing for 20yrs
Diablo 1 was my first in my 20s, such good memories. I was blown away by the beta of D4 and how it brought back the same sensations again, walking in dark dungeons with strange sounds and this awesome soundtrack. I’ve always been a Diablo player at core and I cannot wait to get my hands on the full game in june !
I agree with you, a remaster of D1 would be awesome but I doubt they take the time and resources to do it. Aaaah, those yellow zombies draining your stat points permanently 🙂
Mannnnn the year 2000 was unreal for gaming. I was 12 years old with AOL dial up connection and my internet could barely function to play online but I managed.
3:44 Yes, that feeling of having to survive and being scared of death is essential to Diablo. The God like feeling takes a lot away from the world they’ve built. It doesn’t feel as threatening.
Diablo 4 combat is getting a bit too quick once you start collecting legendaries. Hopefully it doesn’t become a mindless explosion fest in late game.
Some people actually were saying D4 looks worse than D3 somehow 😀
I just finished Diablo 1 for the sake of nostalgia, but Oh boy… It didn’t age well at all.
I’ve played all of them so far, and I gotta say D3 is by far the best in my mind.
Wow. 26 kfc sandwiches
loved D1,D2, and will probably enjoy D4. D3 was terrible.
D2 was actually when I go into PC gaming along with StarCraft and spawning a disc so your friend could play against you in dial-up!
if you played diablo 1 hellfire most people will agree its not the true diablo 1 exp
that was dedication.
I think of the other three titles D4 most feels like D3. Aspects aren a pretty small iteration on the legendary power and extracting powers from D3. Boss fights feel just like D3 boss fights which also have phases and summons and unique mehanics and dodges and stuff. The power creep available even in the beta felt very D3 to me with ‘end game’ builds and setups killing the 12 man world boss solo in like a minute so based on multiple ‘D3 like’ stat bonuses like damage based on various status effects being applied. Even the visuals felt more like Ruins of Sescheron or The Shourded Moors from D3 than anything from 2 or 1 to me.
Edit: forgot to mention D1 was my first and I played 2 and 3 at launch
Nothing can compare to Diablo 2 for me, I tried 3 but got bored of it quick. I hope 4 is good but with how most games must be a live service I don’t want to get my hopes up.
D4 being the greatest hits of all of the Diablo games is a good description. It feels like it takes the best parts of all of the games while adding some new & fresh ideas.
It all started with Diablo 1 but Diablo 2 was my first true love.😅
Played Diablo 1 co-op with a buddy on PS1, the massive load times were perfect for making sandwiches, getting snacks, going to the store, taking a walk, a nap, you could get so much done!
I mean diablo 1 and 2 where made by diffrent peaple 3 was a dispointment to me let’s hope 4 is at least good
D4 is going to be an MMO/ARPG Hybrid like Lost Ark. That’s the only way for Blizzard to keep milking it for the next 10+ years as a live service game.
I checked for you, got my original Diablo 1 manual on my lap and I got it on launch day in 1997. But the manual itself says ®1996, so there you go…
I really hope d4 doesn’t suck.
