Another horrid Blizzard remake? Such a shame how bad of a company they have turned into. Their WC3 Remake was also the most horrendous game ever with zero effort, they had to do a mass refund campaign. Their Starcraft Brood War remake was pretty good though.

Did you play the original? If you don’t have that nostalgia then ya it’s probably not going to wow you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blizzard will be lucky to survive everything thats going on with them. If nothing else, the entire organizational structure might get a page one rewrite....which COULD be a good thing. Sad how many of these once great game companies and developers are dropping like flies in regards to their reputations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heimdallr Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 Got in a few hours last night. Feels great, even with the console controls. It just won't be the same without power leveling and bots constantly running cows/diablo/baal, but it'll be fun to actually play the game from start to finish.

MKnight82 Posted September 24, 2021 Author Share Posted September 24, 2021 I got through acts 1 & 2 last night, I’m level 21. Decided to run a paladin as my first character as it’s not very gear dependent. Been running holy fire through early leveling but I’m going to respec to hammerdin once I get past Act 3.

Scalamania Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 As someone who loved the original D2 and sunk many hours into it, this is a fantastic remake. There's a few missed opportunities that could've improved to QOL but overall it's a lot of fun to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heimdallr Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 The one thing I don't like is that (at least on console) you can't browse servers and pick what game you want. You can only pick what mission or area you want to do and blindly get put into a game. The originally style was perfect so I don't know why they changed it.

I bought it for xbox because its just easier for me to play it downstairs on my tv with my son running around then to try to get upstairs to play on a computer. But its definitely going to be a different experience. I'll probably almost exclusively play solo, which will hurt the most in trading and baal runs.

I only got an hour or so in yesterday, but one of my favorite memories was from the original just searching "free" games and trying to pick up the gear faster than anyone else. Does this mean that's not possible? EDIT: I'm on PC so sounds like it might be different, never mind!
