Diablo released on GOG

[Dux]

For new players, my recommendation would be to try the base game un-modded for one playthrough and then move on to some of the modernised versions. Why? Because no game is worth doing physical harm to yourself. The original Diablo is a click-fest without equal and can fuck up your wrist if you're not careful.

So it can ruin your love life?

Blizzard has gone soft.

Blizzard is shit now but they still got scary lawyers.

You still need to manually enable barbarians, however.

Playing through Hellfire for the first time. It's good shit. I really dig the new Hive dungeon.

Crypt is great. Hive is so so.

Can these be modded or are you stuck with vanilla flavored diablo and crew?

Why hello there low res beauties... you look delicious.

Mind if I have a taste? Hmmmm??

Ooh fiesty eh?

That's right... submit to fun time.

I cannot remember, what is happening when my character dies in Diablo1?
I have to load a saved game?
Or respawned in town then I can go back for the lost items?
:i am confused:

I have to load a saved game?

This one, unless you got mods that do it differently.

Gotta say that I hated Diablo back when I played it on Playstation almost 20 years ago; I found it mind numbing and grindy as hell
But today on a whim I installed the GOG version and I rather enjoyed it fpr what it is... mindless clicking and looting is almost soothing
Do the Hi Res packs work with the GOG version too?

Diablo is not an RPG and so this belongs in the other general gaming thread.

I'm not a fan of the Blizzard classics ported to PlayStation 1.

When I checked Warcraft II in the console, years ago - and I had already played it in a computer, so I ended up comparing both - I was horrified by the abysmal MS-DOS port!
It was so crappy, I didn't even play any human mission, in the campaign.
I was glad to remove the save file, from the memory card, afterwards.

It's true that Diablo for the PlayStation 1 has local co-op (unlike the original), but I'd rather play in the computer.
You can't play Hellfire, or mod the game, in the console.

In the marketing section, you can see that the devteam appears to have invented DLCs.

More like micro-transactions considering the use of 'instant gratification' and 'near the cash register'

That was pretty good, but I'd not have shown Diablo at the end. Just have Lazarus kneel to an altar with some creepy demonic figurehead and go from there.

We could use a semi-RPG forum.
Main criterions could be non-universal application of RPG systems (only pertaining to PCs) or limited gameplay scope (for example combat only H&S).

It was obvious halfway this won't be an "Astartes" ,so closed it, picking low hanging fruit in graphics/rendering is a two edged sword and if it's abused to churn out stuff thats not a net positive. Obviously the "recreator" has issues with delicate matter that glows, like the glow of skin .

This is only reasonable when we define am RPG first.
