Seems like nobody is excited. Did the fact that they closed Vicarious Visions to make it and the fact that Blizzard is full of sex pests kill the hype?

That, the debacle warcraft 3 remaster turned out to be and the fact that the original version remains perfectly playable. I'm glad that console players will get a chance to play it, but I'll probably end up passing.

Project Diablo 2 is WAY better than D2R honestly. They improved the graphics for it, but not by putting a whole new graphics engine over the old thing (so it still runs easily on older systems).
It has tons of upgrades/improvements, more stash spash, more actually inventory spash (same amount for Charms but double over all), arrows/thrown items don't run out of uses, melee does splash damage, classes were expanded etc. Way better, so no real advantage to D2r at all. --- Tacobot 3000 "Saving the world from not having tacos."

Activision-Blizzard is one of the absolute scummiest companies there is, and that was before the recent news. Horrible crunch overtime hours, GROTESQUELY overpaid CEO, all the kowtowing to China, etc... I've been boycotting them for that shit for a while now.
The game wouldn't really appeal to me anyway without some quality of life improvements which it sounds like they aren't changing... On that note, they censored all of the female characters. Apparently THAT needed to be updated. And surprise surprise... company's busy appealing to a... certain twitter demographic with the last item, and... it turns out the company is full of creeps! But they're protecting us from attractive fictional characters and combating that evil "male gaze", so clearly the corporate priorities are in proper order. So yeah... absolutely zero interest.

Grown ass man can't afford a 40 dollar gameKind of tough times out there for a lot of people right now. Maybe don't be a dick. As for D2R, I was excited until I saw they didn't take the opportunity to improve the areas where its age is showing really badly. Instead it's literally just D2 with a shiny coat of paint. I guess that might be a fun nostalgia trip, but not worth the price they're asking. I think this will end up being a badly missed oppurtunity. It probably only exists to drum up hype for D4. ...

Basically it's crazy they didn't take things from project diablo 2 etc and incorporate it. Just the fact that many people won't give those changes up, especially just for a graphics update, is going to mean alot less people playing it. Many years of updates and changes have already been done to the game, so the background work is all there, what they should have done is bought out Project Diablo 2 all together, made some more changes/upgraded the graphics a bit more, and released THAT (charging people for it now). The original game is still fun, but they also have some rediculous things that are holding it back. You have to pay for Playstation plus or whatever it is to play online (so $10 a month), which is rediculous for instance. The controllers work halfway ok for some classes on consoles but it's auto-aim and doesn't let you choose targets etc (so mouse/keyboard is still way better but not available on consoles). The game ran like crap on many fairly new systems/gaming rigs in the beta as well. Not sure how well it will sell, but guess we will find out soon. --- Tacobot 3000 "Saving the world from not having tacos." Friends don't make their friends die Hanz. Psychopathic friends do. ...

Uh... you really think it's going to come out right with what happened with WC3 reforged? The SC remake went a lot better, and as I understand, it's that team behind D2 and not the Reforged one, but Reforged was still bad enough to drive me to outright boycott Blizzard. Make a bad game? Sure. Make a bad remake? Whatever. Make a bad remake whose brokenness is pushed through to the original game such that I can't play a game I bought 15 years ago without going out of my way to roll back that patch and prevent it from being automatically downloaded? I'm not tolerating that. Blizzard's going to have to work very hard to regain my trust to enough of an extent that I'll buy any of their products again. And then there's the whole "systemically ignoring and perpetuating a culture of sexual harassment" thing, which is just even more reason to keep my money. I'd love to play D2, especially where I never played the original, but Blizzard won't be getting any of my money for any reason for a good, long while. --- This is my signature.

SC remake could have also used with some QOL improvements as well, like letting me select more than 12 units at a time and improving pathfinding... but I get the casual player isn't the primary demo for that game because of the professional leagues, so it is what it is.

I played OG Diablo 2 for years, and I plan on playing this. However, I'm still pissed that they took an ugly stuck to all the character model faces. They tried to write it off as "problematic old designs", but there's no excuse for it. They hyped up how they painstakingly went to great lengths to make everything as close as possible to old D2 (just with updated graphics), but completely screwed that part up.
Sucks for anyone playing on consoles though - no lobbies is going to ruin it. Better get it on PC if you're going to play it at all. --- "You think this letter on my head stands for France!?" - Captain America ... Copied to Clipboard!
