Wait, Blizzturd wants 100 bucks for this trite shite? :lol:

Very fitting, Blizzard has always been at the forefront of ... not game design, but monetization. It is said that Diablo 1 was supposed to make extra money from floppy-transactions, i.e. sales of individual weapons as expansion floppies in an era when online payments were not possible. Sounds familiar?

Make the Codex Great Again!
Wasn't it possible to go up to 800x600?
It's not of much use considering D2 sprites.
On a CRT it looked a lot better. Diablo 2 is one of the main games that looks like shit on LCD because of the crushed blacks. Everything up until Hell is darker than Clayton Bigsby

Turns out most games made in the 20th century look way better on a CRT. This applies to Diablo 2 as much as console titles to arcade games. CRTs were killed off way too fast and now I would gladly have at least one CRT to play certain games on.

Probably. It's solid anyway and AAA quality animations are expensive. Perkel on crack as always.

Any word on Hardcore? Diablo gameplay is actually good when you have to worry about losing your character

7 mil between game and dlcs over 6 years, with plenty of heavy discounts. And game barely got made using both kickstarter and Steam EA.
They used the sales to deliver plenty of content in DLCs which weren't quick money grabs and supported the game with proper balance patches.

You have to be a real Perkel to complain about the value for the money you get with GD.

So is this better than 3 or what?
Man, Blizzard will need to try really, really hard to beat Tyrael striking Deckard Kain like a precision munition, somehow Deckard Kain survives that then is killed by a random faerie then Tyrael becomes a bald black dude because he is on his teenager rebelious phase.

For full edition. 70 for standard. I think I'll just get Grim Dawn DLCs and reinstall that if I get an itch to play something like this again.

If only GD devs spent some time on combat feel it would be top tier arpg.
Is that even possible in their engine?

They are using the same engine as Titan's Quest which had excellent melee combat, arguably the best ever for a Diablo 2 wannabe.

Enemies use both. Meaning that enemy can do death animation and then have part of it as ragdoll or instantly go for ragdoll. Or do death animation mixed with ragdoll. It reminds me of Killzone2 which pioneered this type of thing.
