Why Diablo 2 Is One Of The Best Games Ever

Hey guys let me know if you like this format! And what some of your favorite games of all time are!

this game was basically my childhood...nothing will ever capture what this game did

In middle school I used to wake up at 4 am to play D2 before going to school. I remember when I landed my first Stone of Jordan ring. Great memories.

I just came to cry here a little.

This game changed my life when I was in High School. I played the hell out of it.

Dude!!! I love diablo 2 ! Still making d2 videos in 2018. We will never die!!!!!!

Really, no other game got me sticked to it for so long, as D2 did. Played it for 12 years.

2019 Diablo 2 Players anywhere?

This game deserves A Hd remaster in it's own right : /.

Great video to begin your adjustment!!! You are capable of providing an in-depth analysis of gaming and Games THEMSELVES. I don't know how the rest of the community feels but I would love to see you begin to analyze games that were the roots of different mechanics and stories we see or miss today. I would love to hear your take on Bioshock, Fear, shadow of the Colossus, Crysis, Half Life games from the earlier 2000's or around 2010 where a lot of their mechanics have been unfortunately been left behind due to lesser focus on story and atmosphere. I hope the community understands that your adjustment will take time and even some of the negative videos or mentions of current trends at least are still needed. All the best!

A gaming experience like this only happens once in a lifetime. I've been playing it since ~2003, first only barbarians on single player and LAN, later I learned how to play online and fell in love with trading (this basically showed me how a economy and stockmarket works). I thought my D2 days are finally over. But guess what, friends wanted to give D2R a go and I bought it too to help them out, and it STILL is as captivating as ever, despite having played modern hack'n'slays. This is one hell of a game.

Hands down best game I’ve ever had the chance to play. Music is so amazing. Skill trees- random drops- not perfect items- music. It had it all.

One of my fondest memories of playing Diablo 2 was back when I was 10, I finally reached Diablo, I was an idiot and had no idea what a build was, so I summoned Diablo and when I saw him I was so scared of him I kept warping back to town and resurrecting my mercenary and my golem hoping they would kill Diablo because I was too scared of him. After like 50 warps and some 2 hours later I, er, my mercenary, managed to finally kill him. One of the most depressing moments I had was when I died, then I equipped some junk items to get back to my corpse, and as I grabbed my corpse while in a room with 3 Super-uniques, all of my corpse's items got thrown onto the floor because I forgot my inventory was full and I had those junk items equipped. I then immediately died, and thus lost all of the items that were equipped on my corpse. I turned Diablo 2 off and didn't play it again for another 5 years.

spent so many hours in diablo 2.. truly is one of the greatest games i ever played.

Year 2019 Playing D2 classic 640x480 res on my laptop. İ have it since day one! 41 years old.

when i was around seven me and my dad would play diablo 2 and would play for hours on end. people always told him i would be violent from playing such a dark game and that i needed to focus on reading, however, diablo 2 helped me learn how to read, every time i would pick up a item i would read it and that’s how a game about killing a demon overlord helped me read 😂

Did anyone else tell their very christian mom that the game is all about hunting demons so it's perfectly fine to play it?

Ah Diablo 2 hunted my dream during elementary school I must say D3 is kinda too casual and lack that scary atmosphere Path of Exile is indeed spiritual successor of D2 <3

Diablo 2 .. just seeing it makes you want to play it again no matter how much time passes.

Great video. Lots of nostalgia. But I would like to add on one more point and that is the loot system in D2. The drop rates for Unique Items were abysmal, but when an unique item drop, you know exactly what are the stats going to be (minus the min - max roll). Hence each item ,whether it is a low / high roll, it is going to worth something. Also a lot of the unique items (whether it is low level or high level gear) have a use. Meaning most unique items out there can be used in some sort of build. This is what made all those countless Mephisto/ Diablo/ Baal runs worthwhile. It is the sensation of the rewarding feeling you get from all those hard work. Now looking at D3, one of my major concern is there are too much RNG within a Unique Item. Depending on the RNG, the unique item can be an absolute beast / worst the trash. And further add on to the fact that Unique items drops like candy hence making the item doesn't feel unique at all. PS: I remembered back during my early high school years, sneaking out of bed, turning on my PC and start playing D2. Clicking each key carefully to ensure no one hears I'm up playing. Spent the whole night farming Mephisto. In the end, he drops an unique Crusader Bow. I felt so happy, it pretty much made my day.
