Of course, all this extra storage requirement comes with some upgrades. It requires 30gb of space to install, and for those of you (like me) who might not have gotten a new rig in the last year or two because - I don't know, you can't find an affordable graphics card or something, and are still on lower capacity SSDs - it could mean deciding between if you're going to keep that installation of Pathfinder: Kingmaker which you bought on Steam sale and know you'll definitely start playing (someday), and freeing up some space to load up this remaster.
And I don't mean world huge, I mean the "I missed the Samsung SSD on Amazon Prime Day weeps" huge. With that out of the way, let's get on with my journey back in time (sorta) to the world of Sanctuary.įor starters, D2: Resurrected is huge. If you've been following updates on the game since its announcement, forgive me if the rest of the first impressions might be things you already know. This is probably a good time to admit that I wasn't someone who pre-ordered the game, or checked out the demos, so I was coming into the remaster quite "fresh", not entirely sure what to expect. Twenty-four seasons, countless cosmetics, enough mechanics to rival Magic: The Gathering and 16 levels of Torment difficulty later, that still bugs some people.įor others, if the question is if D2: Resurrected is worth investing time in, especially as a returning player, that really depends on how much you want to experience the D2 storyline with graphics and audio upgrades.
Unfortunately, Auction House Tycoon Diablo III had its fair share of disappointments, and while there were some nice touches like being able to select options for your character class, it always lacked the soul many gamers had felt from the earlier games. For those unfamiliar with the franchise, Diablo games are all about creating a character, getting random gear drops that scale with your level and supplement your skills, getting to the point where you're able to comfortably beat your enemies to submission, then going to the next difficulty level where your gear is once again at level worthless and you continue the cycle.
Naturally, expectations were even higher in 2012 for Diablo III, the first Diablo game I could well afford to pre-order with all its fancy goodies. Granted, playing a game about conquering the depths of Hell as a kid might have put an unnecessary fear of the term "fresh meat" as well as a huge distrust of closed doors in me, but Diablo II was an immediate "must play" the moment it was released.ĭ2 and its expansion, Lord of Destruction, were great distractions to the mundanity of school life, and building a Sorceress who could conquer all foes or an Amazon that could rival Penthesilea in Greek legends was therapeutic (as was associating a particularly annoying teacher with one of the Prime Evils). (Screenshot: Blizzard)įor many gamers of my generation, Diablo would have been one of the first action Role-Playing Games that we were exposed to. Ah, old friend who couldn't just save the world himself.
