A friend (who may or may not read this) recommended a few days ago that I try Diablo 2, and to my surprise I discovered that a Mac version is available, so I procured it as quickly as I could.
I don't normally play fantasy games of this type, but after playing Loki (also reviewed on this site) and enjoying it, despite it being called a shameless Diablo clone, I decided I'd give this game a go. The first thing I'd like to point out is that the game is not modern, it was made in 2001 and as a result, the graphics aren't stunning. They are however acceptable, and the game is still easily playable and enjoyable. The graphics in cut scenes however, seem very advanced for the time the game was made, and the soundtrack is suitably minimalist and tense."
Diablo IV may be the latest entry from the Diablo series, but it can sure learn a thing or two from the iconic Diablo II. Both of these games are different and similar to each other, but Diablo II's phenomenal presence should still be more appearing in Diablo IV to make the game even better in its current state.
A fan-run initiative called Project Diablo 2 has brought a 60 FPS update for the classic Diablo title, among other changes.
Boo! Thought this was eventually a patch for diablo2 on PS5. The fact that they can’t get that game to run in quality mode at 60fps is an absolute joke!
Diablo 2: Resurrected developer Blizzard Albany has condemned Activision Blizzard for “hostility” after it allegedly delayed recognition of a new employee union
The game is still $25 +. I'm waiting for it to drop to the actual value of the product.
I can’t fault activision on this one. “Hostile” for the delay in recognizing their power lmao. Yikes. Good luck with that MS.
This attitude is why I'm not a big fan of the MS/Acti deal: you're essentially rewarding repulsive higher-ups with golden parachutes versus absorbing talent like the inXile/Obsidian deals.
But the Acquisition is actually ousting these people; allowing the company to move forward.
The current shareholders, despite all the toxicity and both public and internal outcry, just voted in Kotick yet again.
That's a fair positive, but part of me still hoped their misdeeds would've bit them on the ass in a more damaging way.
Oh, I agree.
I would love nothing more to see someone like Kotick fired on the spot with every employee giving him a kick in the balls on the way out the door.
Unfortunately the world revolves around money, and he made the company a lot of it. Thus the jackass is still around.
Good game but needless to say its a little late (9 years) for a review for this game.

Dork.
this is not news....this is someone living in a hole for 9 years.
