Diablo 2: Resurrected remaster

[Gregz]

Why would I want to play this instead of Path of Exile? PoE is free, gets a new league with new mechanics every 3-4 months, and is not owned by asshole corporate behemoth.

PoE plays like old people fuck, and the economy is owned by bot farmers.

all you do in path of exile is run around while everything explodes around you constantly with 3000 different auras and your entire screen turns white because of all the spell effects at the same time
that's the entire game

you forgot the part where you need to sperg about economy

Kripp is still relevant?

Problem is that on D2, the Paladin looked like a Mulato Alpha dude, now he looks like an old black dude dying of colon cancer.

Was i racist then? No, what bothered me is that a black Paladin made no sense. It bothered me because it ruined the archetype.

You know what never bothered me? The sorcerer from D1 also being black. The sorcerer being black didn't even register in my brain but the black paladin did.

Sounds like a you problem you humongous larping faggot. Paladin in Diablo 2 wasn't about removing kebab in the middle ages.

Buuulshit if you didn't find it strange too.

the fun fact is that on the box cover of the D2 collector's edition, the paladin is so white that it barely passes as a negro/meso-whatever.

I assume the pink shirt picture is before she got her massive facial hematoma, I didn’t think she ever managed to get rid of all the bruising.

Because Path of Exile sucks and Last Epoch and Grim Dawn are better.

1) a HD remake of a 2001 game is supposed to look like a 2001 game, just in higher res (not an easy thing to achieve, actually) isn't having it recognizably look like a product of 2021 a failure to achieve the basic idea?

2) D2 was never gothic fantasy like D1, it was always heroic fantasy - where the heroes are by definition larger-than-life, impossibly perfect paragons of their archetype: beautiful, intense, powerful, intriguing...

what's the point of having "heroic" characters that range from an ugly side of average to "why are you allowed outside without a paper bag over your head"? it's so very 2021 and damn pointless

is it a game about slaying legions of demons with an impossibly perfect hero avatar, or a "mature" game about overcoming mental issues and systemic oppression, and finally finding gainful employment in a society?

 

[Lacrymas]

The map looks gorgeous, though. One more reason to prefer 2D.

As far i understand it, Tencent doesn't usually give a shit in most cases.

Pressure comes either from the Chinese government itself or it's western companies cucking preemptively on their own.

 

[Lyric Suite]

Can someone give me the synopsis of the woke elements in this remake (since i don't have the time to read the entire thread) ?

Amazon is a middle-aged tranny, Paladin is a nigga.

And the Assassin is now a gook.

An ugly one.

Current politics changes aside I think they did a pretty good job with the in-game look to be honest. D4 is what looks like every other 2021 arpg.

Kripp is still relevant?

He's just another dime a dozen Hearthstone whore now.

I think modern art in general represents what's going on in the world's psyche, and what's going on there is really ugly.

 

[d1r]

Kripp is still relevant?

I am even more shocked that he is still playing Hearstone. Man, how many years has it been since he dropped Path of Exile? Crazy how time flies.

 

[jungl]

Amazon looks like a woman approaching 60.

Who is Kripp?

 

[sser]

I remember Kripp back when he was in a room with zero furniture talking thirty-minutes about D3 while his giant head bobbled around a malnourished body. He's come a long way.

 

[Naraya]

Amazon looks like a woman

Whoa, hold your horses.

Because POE is shit.

He's got married and shit now apparently.

 

[Lovely Feather Pillow]

r/Diablo is an absolute shitshow right now. Blizz claims they hear everyone on the ugly character models though.

Of course, when Blizz acknowledges this, their post gets flooded by a barrage of posts from ResetEra troons begging them not to listen because the chain-smoking Tranazon looks totally fine.

 

[mediocrepoet]

Although it blows me away that many of the Codex's denizens don't get enough of this nonsense in GD and need it to spill into Gen RPG for some reason, I can't decide which is funnier: tranazon or ma'amazon. So at least the thread had one (sort of) redeeming thing going on in it.

Either way though, you literally never see your character's detailed face again after selecting a character unless they changed something. After that it's all your tiny icon. Who cares?
