Diablo is dead, the people that know how to make Diablo games left a long time ago. They can't even remaster Diablo 2 without fucking it up. You can't even play single player offline without signing into a "Blizzard account" that fucks up and won't update and has to be reinstalled and then maybe, if you're lucky, they might let you play the game you paid for. I bought that for my wife after quite some discussion of what a pile of shit Blizzard is. After that experience, I can't imagine giving them any money for "Diablo" 4, especially considering how much I failed to enjoy "Diablo" 3 (which I bought on Playstation since once again, the computer version doesn't work offline). I prefer to spend money on Dark Souls now, it has that melancholy feeling that Diablo 1 had, and that sense of danger, that dark atmosphere.

As a person who never played D1 or D2, I picked up D3 on the Switch last year and it’s been one of my favorite games. Not sure what I’m missing out on from the other two games but D3 scratched an itch for me that was lacking from the games I played in my free time.

  Accessibility. It was by far the most accessible Diablo game. You didn’t have to go find some complicated build to feel strong. You could literally play anything.

    D3 on console also has a much more arcade-y feel than the PC version. And the local multiplayer is soooooo much fun.

What did they fuck up about D2 remaster? I thought they did quite a good job.

  Single player isn't offline; the old view doesn't look right; it's slow and performs poorly; it has no LAN play the art direction is OK, the changes aren't bad, but it looks more generic than D2 did. Overall it's the same but worse with less features, instead of the same but better which is what a remaster should be.
