What does that even mean? Why were d1 and d2 good? Plenty of games have come and gone with similar features.
Just as Harry potter wasn’t a great story, but had great timing, I think d2 was the same. It was good but it also was at the right time.
“Sounds great, but hear me out, how about everything is AI generated!”
I’m sure I’ve called it.
They’ve used procedurally generated parts since the start, which is basically early ai. Hopefully they don’t go full monty though.
AI is also used to describe enemy behavior
path of exile 2 is it. that said respect for the goats
Came to say this
I thought OG Diablo devs made Torchlight, which is an excellent game.
The first two are great. The latest one is shite.
T1 was enough to scratch an itch. T2 was the complete experience. Never tried T3. I remembe they made it an MMO at first but changed it later? No clue.
I agree with you completely about the first two. I actually reviewed the third.
Is there an ARPG that doesn’t have some former D1 or D2 staff member on it? I’m sure the old janitors from Blizz North had to end up somewhere too.

Literally no one asked for what they are trying to push, lol. Oh yes give me more of those cloud servers, and battle passes! 🥴
What? How do you think multiplayer games work. lol
I can only dream. 😿
The more the merrier. Last Epoch was also made by veterans of the genre from what I remember.
Incorrect, LE was made by fans of the genre that had to learn game development from the ground up.
They were veteran gamers, not developers, if you will. A BIG distinction.
4.5 million seems like not a very high budget unless it’s only meant to be seed money and release into early access like last epoch.
The article says it’s only seed money
thanks for comprehending the reading so i don’t have to
“Every monster is the Butcher”
You play as the butcher
Fresh meat!
A Butcher that stalked you from the shadows like a kobold would be terrifying
Diablo had great lighting effects. In the catacombs you’d see a flash of movement in the dark, before being attacked by a goat demon who had used the darkness to get around behind you. The later instalments in the series made enemies much more visible, and lost something for it.
Yes! I was trying to explain this at a PoE 2 launch party but no one got it. I know Diablo is likely dated in a lot of ways, but unlike with other entries, I remember actually getting scared while playing it. Like it actually felt like overcoming an ordeal.
We’re going back to what made those early Diablo games feel so awesome but taking them in some cool, fresh directions
Can’t come up with a new idea huh? Hard pass
