Why The First Diablo Is Still Worth Playing

eXputer: Diablo 1 is the purest, most condensed experience of the ARPG genre, and I think every Diablo fan owes it to themselves to play this one.

IMO Diablo 2 captured what is great about Diablo 1 and expanded on it. Diablo 1 is a great game, don't get me wrong. I just don't have much desire to play it when there is Diablo 2.

Ahh here it is -- author hasn't played Diablo 2.

"I still haven’t played Diablo 2, but I would certainly like to when I am able to afford it."

Thank you, I guess exputer is one of the shitty sites when it comes to opinion pieces by them.

Compared to 2, it's unplayable. But I recently installed D1 off of my old cd-rom, tried it out for a few hours, got down to The Butcher and felt that old familiar "this is just an honest to goodness good game" feeling.

3 is a bad a game and 4 looks like to be a reskin of 3, so if you want more Diablo, you only have 1 and 2 to play.

They really improved Diablo 3 since launch, its a different game from when they had the auction house.

anast739d ago

It's no coincidence that they went to Immortal directly after D3. D3 feels like a mobile game and the art is like WoW. And not mention the generic way they did the items, gems and customization: none of this means anything in D3. It would have been fine it it were supposed to be a "WoW lite" ARPG. All in all the game still sucks.

Terry_B739d ago

Yeah..its still shit compared to D2 / Resurrected.

You should play Diablo 1 again, to experience its biggest invention at that time: the randomized map & side missions! You already know that Diablo 1 was divided into 4 major story points, each story contain 4 levels of dragons. Each time you start a gaming sections, the map & side mission would be generated randomly. So in some play thru you may meet The Butcher, sometime you didn't. Sometime you may meet the Skeleton King, sometimes you don't. So each play thru you won't see & do all the side missions & fight every mini boss.

Finally some love for diablo 3, I completely agree with its placing! Very nice coop on the ps3 back in the day, but solo was a good grind as well, very enjoyable.

The only thing that irked me was buying the complete or ultimate edition or whatever and suddenly introducing a dlc that's not included.

Trash article. No way you should be listing the original as third beat.

Also Immortal should have been left off. It's a whale machine not a game.

Pergele40d ago

Diablo 3 > Diablo 2. I tried D2 after playing D3 many times and didn't like that nearly as much as 3.

Diablo 2
Diablo 1

After this Diablo died.
