currently playing Diablo 1 with Beelzebub mod from GoG, this actually turns d1 into some suffering every once in a while.Going to play Diablo 2 as amazon afterwards.As far as atmosphere goes D1 really holds up to this day, with the mod you get all the quests and not some random ones which is cool. Not usually into modding but this is really a good addition.Ill skip d3, not sure about d4 yet, rogue class looks generic and lame
whoever thought red death were a good addition deserves a good dry sodomizing though ...
Stay a while and post you're are favorite trackhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9lPxsA62Us
>>720677679>As far as atmosphere goes D1 really holds up to this dayD1 still manages to make me tense and uneasy, I don't think there's a single game that ever came close to D1's intensity and dread.
Have you played vanilla Diablo 1, or is your first time using Belzebub?I think Belzebub is a neat mod for all the content it adds, but I really don't like how it turns the straightforward dungeoncrawl of classic Diablo 1 into more of a grinding lootfest of Diablo 2. The constant bosses who regen health faster than you can damage them is just beyond bad design.

>>720678391I have played vanilla as a youngin' on my uncles computer and on my own later afterwards. I recall it as a cool but rather short and straightforward game, beelzebub changes that as far as I can tell so far. I dont have troube with health regen but with them healing through dealing damage, especially red death enemies with +dmg affixes or anything like that are ridiculous.I did not have to grind to keep going so far at least.
>>720678527Is it called Hell because it's hell to play as the warrior there?
>>720677679Diabl 1's atmosphere, sound track and voice acting are top notch, even today.>>720678230https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vcTAVQYMZv0I love the whole thing. Also:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUSaDzuWN14
>>720678852Sound track and voice acting really are exceptional, really good stuff. I especially like the evil characters speaking, Gharbad the Weak is my favourite so far. Funny and cool. he also gave me a set bow that lasted for a loooong time
>pig noises
they did not really consider the reward structure as far as I can tell though, just finished Horazons Sanctum which took an absolute shitton of time, potions and repair only to have the last two bosses drop random crap that didnt even sell for much. aside from that, neat addition
RIP thread :<
FRESH MEAT
>>720683220indeed :o thank god butcher has a knockback effect or hed be that much harder
I like playing D1, D2, D3, Grim Dawn, PoE2, Torchlight 1 & 2. I might look into TQ2 and D4 after I'm done with Act 4 of Poe2. My favorite classes are either the barbarian/amazonian-esque ones with necromancer. I like larping because my inner conan demands it.
>>720684546Give Van Helsing and Victor Vran a shot as well.
>>720684546>Torchlightthat is a name I havent heard in a LONG time
>>720685693Thank you anon! Definitely going to pirate them.>>720685775I was excited for Torchlight 3 but that was an obvious disaster. The fact that it's now a F2P gacha game breaks my heart even more. I grew up enjoying arpg and any isometric games because of Warcraft 3 custom games lmao.
>>720677679Diablo has 10/10 art direction and sound. the mood is unparralleled. too bad an absolute dogshit game. I wish blizzard did convince its creator to turn it into real time slop and he had stuck with his original turnbase xcom roguelike system.
>>720680309That's what I meant earlier about the grind. If you just finished Horazon's Sanctum then you haven't yet encountered the enemies who stop you in your tracks and force you to re-run Wirt's Treasure dungeon 20x over for loot. I do really like the additional dungeons though. I just think they are a bit uneven in design compared to how quaint the ones in vanilla are.
>>720677679>Red DeathGod no. Isn't that the one that causes you to take vitality damage? Like permanent Vit damage too, unlike the one from the plague bringers which can be healed at the shrine.
>>720687194Belzebub got rid of permanent stat loss. Red Death just have a really annoying attack animation if I recall. The Black Death zombies which used to cause permanent HP loss were nerfed to just do like 30 seconds of HP loss before it recovers.
lore dump time!
>>720678230I love Act 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0QbfvdmZsA
>>720687194Red Death are evil enough without permanent stat loss. They have baseline healing through attacks and are an absolute nightmare in large groups with strong modifiers that make them basically invincible if they are able to spam attacks
Does the mod make Fighter not useless? Vanilla game has the problem where your block animation overrides your attack swing, so if you get swarmed, you're unable to deal damage due to constant block interrupts.
>>720687842All the classes get 5 unique skills that they naturally unlock every 5 or so levels. I think Warrior gets a shield bash, a cleave, a charge, and some kind of power-up. Besides that, a lot of the animation speeds are tweaked so I don't think stun locking is as likely against packs of enemies, but many boss monsters might as well be equipped with chainsaws because they get massive attack speed boosts too.
>>720687473They fucked with the lore so badShould have gone into other biblical shit instead of focusing on Diablo and his family
>>720678798It's damn hard to play as any class. I remember my mage getting assblasted so hard, and using about 15 different spells routinely. Some of the best mage gameplay I've ever experienced.
Are there any mods/fan patches for Diablo II that give it a real resolution? Also can't get TCP/IP connection to work with my friend on 1.14d. Port's opened, forwarded, etc. Can play other games on direct connect, but not D2 for some reason.
>>720684546>I like larping because my inner conan demands it.You mean RPing. LARP stands for live action roleplay, you cannot do it online or in a video game. Now if you were dressing and acting as a barbarian while sitting at your computer...
tfw you kill andariel in d1
>>720677679I loved Beelzebub mod until a certain "knight boss" on Diablo's 17th floor which lifesteals/teleports/stunlocks. Oh and its got "map of the stars" so you can't cheese your away to victory since if if you dont complete the dungeon floor in 1 hour, diablo becomes invincible.Would've been brilliant without enemies like this (there's more than one...)
>>720688745People use radmin and it wyirks
>>720686042if you like the first two van helsing games, check out w40k inquisitor made by the same devs
>d4 sees the return of sorceror and rogue>no warrior in sightYes I know barbarian exists, no it does not satisfy me
Did the GOG version of D1 do anything at all to the core, or is it just the original game w/o expansion, with some DDraw replacement thrown in?
>>720691795desu the d4 rogue is like the wow rogue, nothing to do with diablo. youre not missing anything
>>720692139gog version is with hellfire afaik. they started adding mods recently, thats how I found beelzebub
>>720689578Andariel is bae.
>>720692541Sorry for after-image effect on tentacles, happened when I converted webp to gif for some reason.
>check out GOG mods>requires the GOG-specific version to be able to buy the 'free' mod on GOGAnd this is why moddb still is superior.
use DevilutionX
Going to bed, be back sometime in the next days!
>>720694707That looks really good.
