It is unironically superior to Diablo 2.Diablo 2 is slop. 1 has better atmosphere and music.
I will admit I liked Diablo 1 if only for PS1 port which had controller support and couch coop. Had a lot of fun with it as a kid.Fucking game ate a lot of memory card space for saves though so we never got further than leroic king boss.
>>12277914Definitely the superior level design/dungeon RNG at least
lmao no
>>12277914>1 has better atmosphereI think so too. I would rather have diablo 2 be set entirely in the act 1 location like diablo 1 was, than you having to go to generic arab, aztec and viking land.
>>12277914>1 has better atmosphere and music.this is true, but 2 is better in all other ways therefore it's the better game.
>>12278007>generic arab, aztec and viking land.i can stupidly reduce diablo 1 areas too>generic spoopy dungeon>generic spoopier dungeon>generic hell landscape>the actual hell areas is the only area that's actually kind of unique, but it's also the most boring and tedious and not spoopy at all
>>12277914It's fine to say it's better than 2 but even if so 2 is the second best ARPG ever made and calling it slop is /v/ tier contrarianism.
>>12278323>calling it slop is /v/ tier contrarianism.but how else will people reply to my thread unless I make them angry?
Never played the first one, but last night I installed diablo 2 on an old pc Ive held on to. Having trouble with textures glitching out into LGBT mode, pic related.AMD hd 7760 , win 7 in xp sp2 compatibility mode, all of the compatibility boxes checked ( 256 color etc).Any ideas?
>>12278470https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Diablo_IIlook at the solutions there. now never use this place as tech support ever again.
>>122783062 has too much focus on random loot and the level design is bloated
>>12278616>random lootthat's what made every run exciting. nothing was guaranteed
I wish we got a "chocolate" Diablo 1 mod that includes expanded quests like in Belzebub, but also has fully multiplayer support and only the original classes.
>>12277914D1 was better online too. PVP was actually fun and interesting. I played a shit ton of D1 online and kept playing even when D2 came out at the time.D2 seemed like PVP became a lot more unbalanced and people didn't really play for the group aspect as much. So people were just kind of doing their own shit in different parts of the game/story.Meanwhile in D1 as soon as someone came in the server they were either coming to help you or coming to attack you so it usually turned into group fights until someone was repeatedly killed into submission. You also dropped all of your items when you died online so it was intense.
Couldn't you just have made a D1 thread without the /v/ baiting?Anyway, I really love Tristram in D1, it has an unsafe feeling that few games can replicate, in no small part to the soundtrack. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AnMR6SOBa9kI think that kind of atmosphere is really lost in other but also especially newer games. They try too hard to make it 'epic' and the sense of immersion is right out the window.It was also the first game I played online as a kid, at least for the 15-20 minutes I could manage before some familynigger inevitably needed to make a phonecall.
>>12278897Just realizing D1 was basically retro isometric Darker and Darker
>>12278898>played online as a kid, at least for the 15-20 minutes I could manage before some familynigger inevitably needed to make a phonecall.Yep, I was there. Interrupted by many phone calls until my mom also got annoyed and got a second phone line.

>>12278885what is this image from? the notre dame burning?
You don't need to call Diablo 2 slop just because you prefer Diablo 1.Both are awesome.I like the atmosphere more on the first game, but gameplay wise I prefer the 2nd game.
>>12278326By explaining why you think the first game is better ?You're doing the same thing as these annoying youtubers with clickbait titles and thumbnails.
>>12278958>By explaining why you think the first game is better ?no you dumb ESL faggot, by saying "diablo 2 is slop"
>>12277914>Diablo 2 is slopah
>>12277914Bro, people have been saying the atmosphere was better in diablo 1 since fucking forever, okay? The gameplay is better in diablo 2, it just is.
D1 really shines when you play it as hardcore and don't go back to town. Makes the character skill actually worth a damn...and the cauldrons/goat shrines.
I wonder if there's an alternate universe where ARPGs remained as real time roguelikes where you don't have to start over every time you die instead of turning into games about grinding for specific items to make your build work.
>>12277914i hate the Suckubussy level in Diablo 1. so it sucks.
>>12278913Are her nipples that hard that they are poking through leather or did the leatherworker mold nipples into it?
>>arrows shot in cardinal directions have 100% chance of hitting, arrows shot in any other direction roll diceWho came up with this shid?
>>12278881Some randomization is okay for variety, the game feeling like a slot machine sucks
We need a graphical mod for D1 that adds the PS1 graphical improvements that were used on diablo 2
>>12279348i wish people modded the psx version cause its really good. not enough autism i guess
>>12278494Shut the fuck up and apply for janny you backseat cuck. Oh and unlike your lame ass I solved the captcha in two seconds. Beat that n word. Heh, you can't. Probably own a pass cause you're too stupid for it...
>>12278326>but how else will people reply to my thread unless I make them angry?/vr/ Blizzard threads in a nutshell
>>12277914diablo is much better than diablo 2 in terms of item generationwhy in gods name they changed from such a reasonable system to an unreasonable one is beyond me. nobody likes getting lvl 1 trash in hell or having a super bloated affix pool where 99.9% of items are unironically worthless
can you recommend a good graphical angband instead
>>12278897MP in D1 over BattleNet was ridden with cheaters.
>>12279584Play D2 1.05b. There was much less useless affix bloat before LoD shit up the place.
>>12278953>You don't need to call Diablo 2 slop just because you prefer Diablo 1.this is just how the troglodytes on this board think, its why there is 0 interesting discussion to be had here, just vitriol.
>>12279607Zangband is fine.also just play DOOMRL to kill demons.
>>12278913The succ model was also pure sexo (as she should be).
>>12278946yep
I played the homebrew port for Vita that came out a few years ago. It was pretty cool but way too frustrating to see what the hell was happening on the map. It had a “zoom in/zoom out” function but you’d have to to go the menu to toggle it on and off, which eventually became more than I could stand. The game’s movement also being as slow as molasses didn’t help much either. I was able to appreciate the atmosphere people lovingly praise and having a hub to constantly return to with familiar NPCs giving you their hot take on new developments made progress interesting. But it just wasn’t enough to hold my interest.
>>12277914>1 has better atmosphere and musicif only we could judge a game on something more important than music... something like... GAMEPLAYop is retarded.
>>12279339if you can't handle randomness then video games aren't the hobby for you
>>12279506>pooping your diaper this hard because you weren't capable of doing a 10 second "diablo 2 fixes" google searchwew anon
>>12280663Music and atmosphere and such are the frosting on the gameplay cake, they enhance the end product. Diablo 2 overall is the better game, but Diablo 1 has its strong points that make it a good game as well.
>>12277914based
>>12281047I really liked that items remained permanently. It was soulful. You could return to level 1 hours later and see some item you missed or threw away and think "ah"
>>12281303niggas call anything soul nowadays
>>12281318soul just means "I like this"
>>12281281Pokemon still exists though
>If you are playing the Playstation version you should know that when you restart a new game, any unique item is transformed into gold, which is quite annoying.Is this true?
