Any company that treats creativity as cheating does not make games I care to play.

I was considering giving a Diablo game a shot for the first time, not anymore, this is just dumb

Mereo ,

There are better games than Diablo nowadays. I’ve been having a blast on Grim Dawn.

DauntingFlamingo ,

Is it similar? I loved D2 but despised D3

I loved d2, d3 I played for a while but a drop in the bucket compared to the original d2. Grim dawn also didn’t grip me and neither did path of exile.

I’m afraid I’m just chasing the nostalgia of one of my favorite childhood games that nothing really has a hope of living up to.

Project Diablo 2 is still going strong and has a lot of nice QoL features and skill improvements over D2 and D2R. You should check it out if you’re a D2 fan like me.

I might just do that. Sounds fun!

I was in the same boat. Last Epoch did it for me. more than 100 hours now, they went by very quickly. 👍

Grim Dawn was my Diablo 2 fix. It runs decently, has a dark atmosphere (though if you want story and lore you’ll have to read a lot in-game) and cool items.

Also a massive world, especially with the DLCs. Definitely worth playing in my opinion :)

You get nearly free unlimited respecs, the only thing you can’t undo is your 2 classes you choose.

OldQWERTYbastard ,

I’ll second Grim Dawn. It’s pretty great.

OutlierBlue ,

Grim Dawn is the best Diablo game I’ve played.

d3Xt3r ,

You can still try the earlier Diablo games. Diablo 1 with Belzebub mod is pretty fun (or get DevilutionX if you want a more authentic experience but with some modern QoL stuff), Diablo 2 with Project Diablo 2 mod is even more fun (probably the best Diablo variant IMO), and there’s also Blizzard’s official Diablo 2 Resurrected, if you can’t tolerate old school graphics.

Moops ,

Yeah, if you’ve never stepped foot in the Diablo world don’t bother. I had a good time with the D4 campaign, I actually think that part shines but it’s maybe 30 hours of gameplay at best, even if you take a few detours along the way. Pretty steep price to game ratio.

Can they just give us an offline version and let us do whatever we want on it?

Fixbeat ,

I just want to pause it😥

No that would involve you owning the product and thats bad.

nul9o9 ,

Also cuts into their live service cash flow.

Ever since that mobile Diablo game came out, I knew to be wary of this one.

Helluin ,

thats not how digital ownership works. theres plenty of software with offline versions that you dont “own” in the traditional sense

Amilo159 ,
@Amilo159@lemmy.world avatar

But then who would buy what they’re offering in their online store, item crates and other boxes.

fubo ,

Can you imagine if the Spalding company told you that they’d come and take their balls back if you didn’t play according to their rules?

maynarkh ,

They would if they could.

Suck dick and die Activision. Fucking EA 2.0

Amilo159 ,
@Amilo159@lemmy.world avatar

They did the same with diablo 3. Always on drm so that people couldn’t use cheats to get better loot IN A SINGLE PLAYER GAME. Why? Because they want you to their market and spend real cash for stuff

arefx ,

This is probably the only reason they care about. It’s definitely not for the “integrity of the game” or anything like that

uriel238 ,
@uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

I can’t speak for Acti-Blizz but Ubisoft regarded people finding and using exploits or even power imbalances as cheating and a banhammering offense if they got too much loot for their efforts.

Finding the exploits is part of the whole point.

OutlierBlue ,

Imagine banning people for playing the game the way you created it.

Moops ,

Are they trying to nuke their game and community? Cause at this point, you gotta wonder if it’s intentional.

SinJab0n ,

Good Old Games FOR LIFE !

All the cool guys love GOG.

cyberpunk007 ,

I buy all my games here, if I can.

cyberpunk007 ,

And I didn’t even need any more reasons to not get this game!

Diablo was dead after Diablo 2. Resurrected was pretty good but I really dislike the always online BS. And at the end of the day, it’s still the same old game with a facelift. Recently started playing Diablo 3 again and I realize why I never really got into it. It’s more like gauntlet than Diablo.

Laser ,

Resurrected was pretty good but I really dislike the always online BS.

It’s not always online, the single player can be played offline, just start the binary directly I think.

What it lacks compared to the original is a way for private realms (not that these were ever officially supported in the original game). Still got the game on offer for $20 and think it’s been a great remaster, I had a blast. If you still l want to play D2 in 2023 is a different question though. It was great in its day but a lot of the concepts show their age.

cyberpunk007 ,

Oh I have it on PC and Switch. I know I could easily force offline on the switch but I didn’t think I found a way on PC. Good to know.

arefx ,

I’m just gonna say it… Diablo 3 was not a great game. I probably played 6k hrs of diablo 2 and maybe 50 of diablo 3 before I realized I hated it and was only playing it because I liked the first two games.

Lucidlethargy ,

Fuck Blizzard. Stop buying their games.

Blizzard is another user hostile game company.

mrhenry77 ,

that’s close minded. “you are only allowed to enjoy the game exactly as we intended it to be played”

Arthur_Leywin ,

They’re trash at making games so they should let others make the game for them. This is a dumb decision.
