I tried playing Diablo 1 last night, and this seems more than a little bit rough.

D1 represents a divergent path where the game is slower, basic monsters remain threatening throughout and packs of archers are murderous. It's closer to its roguelike roots than D2 and the modern genre, which are fast-paced lootfests and power trips. Nothing wrong with either style imo, but D1 is really showing its age and I'd love to see a modern successor.

I finally started playing Diablo 3 with a friend, and it just feels so simple. Like, it's entertaining, but it just feels so basic by comparison.

Meyers-Briggs Testicle posted:its already happening and its making me lol Wanna watch that guy go to a grocery store or some other mundane task. I think the inventory thing for me depends on the size of the shared stash. I must hoard everything. Charms taking up half the space is fine. I just pretend my character makes the charm jingle with every step. The entire loot issue could be solved with instanced loot but that might make people like the above mad.

I might be wrong here but I think that changing inventory size doesn't involve dll injectors, so it should be fairly easy to mod in. If it goes well and is popular I'm sure you'll see a flurry of mods adding in QoL features

the problem with that was always that you couldn't use mods on battle.net, and personally i never liked playing single player.

Probably a dumb question but does D2 work on the latest version of MacOS?

I guess I'm not really excited for the remaster. Especialy considering it will be a vanilla experience. A 3d engine slapped onto d2 won't fix the endgame. We already have access to some pretty insane mods. Besides, with the graphics slider, it doesn't seem to change the resolution? As far as I can tell this will just break mods. Mods that are so divergent from the vanilla experience, that I highly doubt anyone will put in the work to translate them to a "new" project. Sorry to be so pessimistic but this is clearly a cash grab to keep us interested until d4 comes out.

every d2 mod sucks because youre at 600x800 and they cant fix it. making mods for d2 also requires you to download 15+ year old tools and hack together database files to get it to work. lmao if you dont think this is going to spark a massive influx of modders and players

The switches portability is for playing on the toilet and sometimes on the bed, not for taking outside!  I'm not taking a $500 console outside it might get broken or stolen, I have a $2000 laptop for that.

I mean, gently caress both the Switch and Nintendo and their following. But I was also raised to think that taking my stuff with me anywhere would get it destroyed or stolen and I'm from a place where showing sincere interest in video games past the age of six months old was worthy of scorn, shame, and abuse.

I replayed Diablo 1 a year or two ago and found it a ton of fun but yeah definitely showing its age It also reminded me of when Blizzard had stories that were entertaining in a pulpy sort of way and moved the game along nicely without getting in the way of it with stupid poo poo

It's highly unlikely d2r is going to allow you to do what median xl and to a lesser extent Project Diablo & Path of Diablo have done. The one thing I hope they fix is the framerate. D2 runs at 20 something fps and it really stands out on non-crt monitors. Even when it reports it's running at higher fps it's not really. If they added a way to lock animations to the 20something fps they exist for in classic but render world/screen updates at 120+ fps it'd be amazing and worth $40 alone. Already d2r seems to have issues with contrast, impact, etc compared to the original but it lets you go back to classic graphics so provided they do everything else right it should still be awesome.

I turned the autoscaling off on PoD bc it looked horrible at high res. They also said the fps lock is fixed in the reveal video w. mr llama.

There's even some positives like you can then run extra vms for multiple clients, use proxies for different vms to get around ip/cdkey limits, scale the window to any size you want, easily click around in multiple clients at once, etc. edit: vvv m1 will certainly complicate things.

Khorne posted:D2 runs amazing in a VM if you use VM software that doesn't mess up sound drivers. You can create a windows xp vm with a 1 core limit, 512mb of RAM (or probably less), and with no gpu pass through and the game will run identical to a modern gaming pc. Yeah problem is I have an M1 so that complicates things a bit. Good tip though!

I really am curious about what they're going to do about the rarity of items and trading. I'm not cynical enough to think that an auction house is going to arise, but I do wonder if they're going to make things like high runes and items of a similar rarity easier to find.

This reminded me that my first computer part upgrade was adding ram to the family gateway desktop from 32 to 64mb (maybe? It's been awhile) so I could enjoy d2 without choppy fps.

Can you imagine someone telling you as a child that there would be big titted women dressing up as characters from literally every game you ever heard of in the future? I mean how many Lady Dimitrescru cosplays have you seen and all we got is like 3 seconds of trailer footage of that bitch yet. Unreal.
