Very true. I'd say that I can understand it to some degree that they wanna charge for some cosmetics but there's a fine line. It shouldn't disrupt gameplay in any way (constant reminders) and it should definitely NOT provide any kind of advantage. If someone wants to pay some $ for a new horse skin or something though, go ahead. Also, overpricing that stuff isn't great either because some players will feel too much inclined or tempted to participate in that.
@@robertocardenas1024 Yeah that wording was not the best but at least D2 dlc was an ACTUAL dlc that changed the game, not some random half assed content piled up on top of the other half assed dlcs like in modern AAA games.
@@SenseiDonGrahamWell, it can never 'beat' Diablo 2. Nothing can 'copy' it. No-one should even try. That would be the wrong approach anyway. I kinda stopped playing D4 after a few months, it's quite simply not for me, it lacks a certain kind of depth and it tries to do too much maybe (for my taste anyway) - although I have to say, I did play it quite hard for a few months. One good thing that I can say is that Blizzard is very good at keeping updates coming, maybe the next expansion will be absolutely massive. A fun game is a fun game I guess, we'll see.
I instantly got the goosebumps all over my skin. What a great piece of art. I feel so lucky that I was able to grow up playing Diablo 1 and 2, going to sleep at 4 am 'cause it got me awake, specially the first time ever I finished the campaign.
may the originals be ever fondly kept alive , and the decrepit cesspool masquerades made to use its heritage as bait to trap you be scorned for eternity
Same, my friends and I would meet up for a LAN party and bash demons and undead into the wee hours on D2, rigging the game to 8 player difficulty for more XP / loot. One of us a necro with a ton of skeletons (before the numbers were nerfed in the expansion), one a dual wield barb and me as a holy freeze pally. Great times
@@Labersak Thanks but I'd say that I also like a good round of other ARPGs and/or mods but D2 is kinda the 'first love' for many and the gameplay still holds up very well. Some (many) like the game for what it is, nothing wrong with that. If it wasn't for the original D2, many other games and/or mods wouldn't have even seen the light of day. I've played this game for literally decades and I don't see myself quitting any time soon but that doesn't mean that I won't play other games too .. :)
i just want to cut all my relations wth outside world and play diablo 2 for weeks, alone in my dark room with galons of beer. thats how i prufiy my soul.
Yeah. And now they managed to do Diablo _Immoral_ .. - I just hope that Diablo IV will be an actual game. Meanwhile I'll keep playing D2(R), thank you very much.
What happened to Blizzard is that the original staff that worked on D1 and D2 moved on into other studios, with the only people left being the corporate psychopaths at Activision.
@@BeruAsui Yes and no, people do move on etc but there are still many great devs working there. The real problem is that the corporate side gradually took autonomy away from the developers, which is glaringly obvious with Diablo _Immoral_ for example - I'm sure that the actual developers didn't want this P2W nonsense but that wasn't their decision to make.
@@Malpheron I'd use the word 'groundbreaking' - Many ARPGs and/or RPGs have tried to mimic the atmosphere that Matt Uelmen brought to the table - even WoW (especially in the TBC Expansion) and I'm sure many other types of games too!
After all the Time i still listening and want to start to play it again to remember me to a time in which gaming was something special and the games where better manufactured than today
Diablo 2: Resurrected is often on sale on Battle.net for like $10-12 :) I like the remake, it's true to the original, although the OG version definitely has its charm as well of course.
Check 'Hellfire Peninsula' music from WoW's TBC expansion. You can really notice that it's Matt Uelmen. He has some more tracks for WoW but especially for TBC.
Wow, I think I did a pretty good job of selecting original FLAC versions for this one and I made sure not to preprocess or compress the audio here, but I'd love to hear a comment on what it'd sound like on vinyl in comparison.
@@rebjorn79 this version sounds way better, no contest. The vinyl has the music of diablo 1 as well, which is pretty cool. Got it so the wife and I can stay a while and listen when it's rainy outside.
I would mention, for those interested, even if one uses raw files and upload FLAC directly, TH-cam still performs compression server side, no matter the quality. At least when I uploaded this one, I used completely raw files, including the imagery. It looks and sounds even better on my locally stored original copy. The upload took 6 or 7 hours back then as far as I can remember. I would have done 1440p or 4k but this wasn't available at the time. The audio quality that TH-cam imposed was 320 kbps I believe, this may have changed since. Audiophiles know what this means. Just felt like elaborating. Glad to see so many enjoying this one anyhow. Stay awhile and listen :)
Glad to hear it, I commented earlier that I do the same at times. I like the in-game Diablo IV music but not all the tracks, and I don't like the fact that it keeps repeating depending on the zone etc .. sometimes I default back to this one and/or other music honestly, at least I know what I'm getting. Enjoy :)
Late reply from me but that's not a bad idea. I used to do the same when I played PoE - however I also had some Torchlight II and Grim Dawn music mixed in there. AND some of the PoE music :) - I believe I still have a folder with all the tracks from all of these games stored somewhere, and I put together a playlist.
Thank you for this. Funny how durable emotions are, only waiting to be awoken once again by things like music. I'm right back to that time again when I played this on my home network. I've been with Diablo since Diablo 1, remembering how amazed I got by even just the manual itself and backstory. Time to fire up this game again.
I read the whole manual before even playing the game. I was so drawn into the story and atmosphere of the game. Nothing else has had the same feeling as Diablo 2 did back then!
ya, a lot of games now adays especially seem to lack any sort of atmosphere that you could lose yourself in completely.... Everyones forgetting there can be Substance to visuals~
@@MatthiasAI Try A Plague Tale if you haven't already. An amazing, atmospheric game. Also Alan Wake, among others. But yeah they seem to be few and far between.
Memorable music has the inherent capacity of storing memories. One can find oneself listening to music that one hasn't heard for many years only to be overwhelmed by emotions. For me 'Für Elise' by Mozart is the one.
Oh yes my friend, I also played D1 on PC. This music just takes me back to when games were bought once and there were no extra in app purchases. It was skill and skill alone
I am 51 years old, retro hardcore old fart video gamer since 1982. I grew up with Spectrum ZX, Commodore, Amstrad and of course later on with IBM Compatibles. I lived the whole '80s, '90s and early '00s hype of good video games, video games which were trying to trigger your mind and not just shoot around aimlessly, text adventures was an example. Beyond some retro titles like SABOTEUR 2, LEMMINGS, DRAGON's LAIR, MONKEY ISLAND and many many CRPGs, DIABLO II together with DEUS EX and HALF-LIFE became milestones something you do not find nowadays. And in the case of DIABLO II everything, but EVERYTHING worked well; graphics, plot, skill tree, music. Let's admit it; we will never have such an epicness in our hands. And that's why after +20 years, I still play it reaching my Paladin lvl 90 for the first time. P.S.: Towards younger video gamers; if you like a good adventure video game, I recommend THE LONGEST JOURNEY, a journey which combines cyberpunk with High Fantasy elements. Loved it.
Hey man, glad to hear from a fellow old school gamer. I'm 45 myself. Definitely playing computer games already in the 80s .. C64, Atari, Amiga, and so on. PC gaming from around 1990 I'd say, and the Quest for Glory/Sierra games were my thing back then. Diablo II really took the whole thing to another level for me - I've played it SO much - just like you and many others are describing. It's quite simply a great game. It can't be 'copied' - first of all it's a fantastic game in its own right (and I do love that they did D2R also), secondly one can't simply go ahead and make the SAME game with a few tweaks and expect it to be just as good.

That is high praise indeed, all credit to the artists. Only took me 5 years to reply but hey .. good game ^^ I still occasionally pop this up on my 2d screen while playing D2R :)
2 ปีที่แล้ว +3
@@rebjorn79 Good hearing from you! Even being after 5 years hehehe Now.. stay a while and listen... =)
Love the video! I keep coming back for more. The nostalgia is real here. Memories from being in grade 7. 3 of my friends and I got the game at launch. Good times!
"Tyreal was a fool to have trusted me! You see, it was I who told Diablo and his brothers about the soulstones, and how to corrupt them. It was I who helped the Prime Evils mastermind their own exile to your world. The plan we set in motion so long ago cannot be stopped by any mortal agency. Hell, itself, is poised to spill forth into your world like a tidal wave of blood and nightmares. You and all your kind... are doomed."
An excellent soundtrack; one of the best out there, for a game that's still considered one of the greatest RPG's of all. I can't remember how many hundreds of hours I've spent playing this game. I had a lvl 94 Realms East character, if that says anything about the time I put into it. ;2)
es media noche mientras oigo la musica me trae nostalgia de cuando juagaba diablo 2, es impresionante me relaja y hay momento que me entra miedo por su banda sonora. buen acompañamiento para estudiar
4:44 is one of my favourite gaming themes. Really depicts the bleakness of Harrogath and Mount Arreat. Could easily have been written by Gustav Holst or Ralph Vaughan Williams
Can't escape ads these days unfortunately. Certain 'programs' may help, but I use the YT Premium myself, it's worth it in my opinion .. no ads for peace of mind + some other useful functions.
Still amazing. D2R is a great 'remake' to be fair, but I completely understand those who prefer the original classic version, especially because of the availability of great mods that exist out there.
Love this Soundtrack...😍😍 Specially Tristram , Wilderness, Rouge, Sisters, Tomb, Fortress and last one ...New Tristram..❤❤ Also...All pictures are amazing...👌👌
ah the sounds of the LOD expansion title music... the hours of amazing Meph farming runs ... and the loss of a job over too many 4am nights of playing and being exhausted at my cubicle.... good times :P
Thanks, late reply here ... If you mean the choice of imagery, well, thank you, but in any case the Diablo 2 music is in itself a fantastic thing, it's good ambient/atmosphere/background music if you will, quite a unique thing for sure!
¡Te quedó increíble el listado!, ¡muchas gracias! Yo también soy fan de Diablo II y esta música me trae bonitos recuerdos cuando jugaba de niño este juego.
Nothing can compare to the ground-breaking effort of Matt Uelmen, this soundtrack and Diablo II itself paved the way for an entire industry. The 'ARPG genre' would be nothing or at least very different if it wasn't for Diablo II.
Thanks, it took some work but I wanted to do something different here instead of just bulk uploading the tracks and a couple of cd case images into movie maker and hitting 'process'. I often keep this playing on my 2d screen myself while gaming D2 still (I prefer this over playing the in game music as the tracks keep changing and I'm more fond of some than I am of others).
The 'Harrogath/Town' track kinda makes you feel that you've arrived somewhere, finally. Overall it's amazing how the developers managed to attribute a certain feel to every little detail. Diablo 2's success is a product of the intertwining of the storyline, the music, the replayability, the innovation, so much more ..
What great pieces of work these are. GenXr's have grown up playing these, and now we can pick up the mantle and continue the story and lore. This is Sanctuary.
Yes. Now, with Diablo IV I think many are playing ARPGs for the first time, which is great, but I wish that many of those would also go back and see what Diablo II and to some extent even Diablo III has to offer.
I think that many have a similar feeling. One can't go back in time but set aside some time for a real playing session, undisturbed, with the in game music .. go for it :)
Diablo series have always special place in my heart and in my opinion Tristram music is the best in game music ever composed soo far , i also love the other musics of Diablo games :) .
I play Immortal now. Tbh its not there anymore, same for D3. Just listening this music brings all my childhood back. Thanks brother, for showing me this game. Always in my ❤

Stay awhile and listen😍😍😍
That's is a masterpiece! Thank you sir!
It's really cool to see that you really took care of every single detail. I'm amazed by some of the photos and it's really cool that you tagged the songs by time. Thanks a lot!
That is high praise indeed, all credit to the artists.
Only took me 5 years to reply but hey .. good game ^^
I still occasionally pop this up on my 2d screen while playing D2R :)
@@rebjorn79 Good hearing from you! Even being after 5 years hehehe Now.. stay a while and listen... =)
@ Fique um pouco e ouça!
Love the video! I keep coming back for more. The nostalgia is real here. Memories from being in grade 7. 3 of my friends and I got the game at launch. Good times!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Had this soundtrack on CD, used to go to sleep to it as a teenager.
Fantastic :) it's not for everyone but for my part it's peculiarily soothing :)
"Tyreal was a fool to have trusted me! You see, it was I who told Diablo and his brothers about the soulstones, and how to corrupt them. It was I who helped the Prime Evils mastermind their own exile to your world. The plan we set in motion so long ago cannot be stopped by any mortal agency. Hell, itself, is poised to spill forth into your world like a tidal wave of blood and nightmares. You and all your kind... are doomed."
Milan Kolarski
- You have not failed, Marius. You have done exactly as you were meant to do..
- No.. Baal...
Or something like that. Flashbacks!
I totally heard the tyreal was a fool to have trusted me hahaha
Somebody call... THE DOOMSLAYER
"Izual was weak, he squandered his infernal power."
And so it was...God flooded the Earth and only Noahs Arc was spared
every time i hear the tristram song i get overwhelmed with nostalgia
Time for a nostalgia trip once again!? ;--)
옛날부터 정말 많이 들어왔고 지금도 리저렉션 할때 간간히 듣는 음악이지만 이렇게 음악만 따로 들으니 감회가 새롭네요..
사운드트랙을 한 곳에 따로 두는 것의 좋은 점 중 하나는 실제로 전체 트랙을 들을 수 있다는 것입니다. 영역을 전환하고 게임 내 음악을 재생하면 트랙이 변경됩니다.
An excellent soundtrack; one of the best out there, for a game that's still considered one of the greatest RPG's of all. I can't remember how many hundreds of hours I've spent playing this game. I had a lvl 94 Realms East character, if that says anything about the time I put into it. ;2)
danekjovax I red all that text with deckard cains voice.
Depend, 1-95 can be done in a day or 2 by experienced player I myself did 1-93 the next day the ladder reset last december
Agreed. This is the best compilation I have seen/heard on TH-cam. Adding it to my favorites.
es media noche mientras oigo la musica me trae nostalgia de cuando juagaba diablo 2, es impresionante me relaja y hay momento que me entra miedo por su banda sonora.
buen acompañamiento para estudiar
Exacto.
4:44 is one of my favourite gaming themes. Really depicts the bleakness of Harrogath and Mount Arreat. Could easily have been written by Gustav Holst or Ralph Vaughan Williams
One of my favorites as well! D2's soundtrack overall is just great, and it set standards for an entire industry.
Wilderness for me.
It is very reminiscent of the Conan soundtrack which is what I think they were going for since I believe it plays in the barbarian town.
@@tylerdinho14The original Conan the Barbarian soundtrack by Basil Pouledaris is amazing.
Many long nights running the pits searching for that elusive Tyraels.
The journey is the real reward .. ;-)
Always down to stay a while and listen!
Me2 bro/sis
Man...this hits hard...I'm about to pay TH-cam to not show ads because of this.
Can't escape ads these days unfortunately. Certain 'programs' may help, but I use the YT Premium myself, it's worth it in my opinion .. no ads for peace of mind + some other useful functions.
Best Game - best music - just awesome.
Still amazing. D2R is a great 'remake' to be fair, but I completely understand those who prefer the original classic version, especially because of the availability of great mods that exist out there.
Love this Soundtrack...😍😍
Specially Tristram , Wilderness, Rouge, Sisters, Tomb, Fortress and last one ...New Tristram..❤❤
Also...All pictures are amazing...👌👌
ah the sounds of the LOD expansion title music... the hours of amazing Meph farming runs ... and the loss of a job over too many 4am nights of playing and being exhausted at my cubicle.... good times :P
You still have access to that.
21:25 i love this
sultan confirmed

The 'Jerhyn bug' isn't a bug, he just wants the harem for himself.
@@rebjorn79 xDDD tru
one of the perfect background of all time!
Thanks, late reply here ... If you mean the choice of imagery, well, thank you, but in any case the Diablo 2 music is in itself a fantastic thing, it's good ambient/atmosphere/background music if you will, quite a unique thing for sure!
The days when I woke up at 2am to do Mephisto runs until 6am to avoid my parents forcing me to stop playing.....👻👻
Still doing the occasional Meph run here ..
¡Te quedó increíble el listado!, ¡muchas gracias! Yo también soy fan de Diablo II y esta música me trae bonitos recuerdos cuando jugaba de niño este juego.
De nada :)
its been 23 years since i started playing this game, still one of the best !
Timeless. Glad they made D2R though.
10/10 would stay a while and listen!
memories from back when I used to play D2 in elementary school
Time to refresh those memories? ;-)
Stayed a while and listned, would do so again.
Back again. What a game. Masterpiece.
Nothing can compare to the ground-breaking effort of Matt Uelmen, this soundtrack and Diablo II itself paved the way for an entire industry. The 'ARPG genre' would be nothing or at least very different if it wasn't for Diablo II.
Ce chef-d'oeuvre de Diablo2 méritait bien ca ! Merci pour ton travail
Merci et de rien. D2 est le meilleur jeu de tous les temps.
Listening to this while playing Dark Souls 3, can't wait to waste another 10+ years of my life playing Resurrection.
Found a Stormspire yet?
Your cross fades are pretty much perfect and thank you so much for adding in the artwork. Subscribed.
Thanks, it took some work but I wanted to do something different here instead of just bulk uploading the tracks and a couple of cd case images into movie maker and hitting 'process'. I often keep this playing on my 2d screen myself while gaming D2 still (I prefer this over playing the in game music as the tracks keep changing and I'm more fond of some than I am of others).
Please come back, 2000, we miss you.
Things weren't always better before but yeah I miss it too ;-(
Can't stay long but I'll listen while I can. Thanks guy
NP guy. At least you stayed awhile. And hey, you can always return later!
My favourite is Town, the Haroggath music, is so good!
The 'Harrogath/Town' track kinda makes you feel that you've arrived somewhere, finally. Overall it's amazing how the developers managed to attribute a certain feel to every little detail. Diablo 2's success is a product of the intertwining of the storyline, the music, the replayability, the innovation, so much more ..
Every single time I play these songs, while I do my homework. This relaxes me and focus me at the questions. Its so good!@@rebjorn79
I can totally relate to that.
I play these old songs watching Castlevania. You should also stay, and listen.
brought the bong with me. gonna stay awhile🖖
You still there?
rebjorn79 apparently he’s not lmao
Still around?
@@rebjorn79 Im here citizens
@@rebjorn79 and schmacked as ever
What great pieces of work these are. GenXr's have grown up playing these, and now we can pick up the mantle and continue the story and lore. This is Sanctuary.
Yes. Now, with Diablo IV I think many are playing ARPGs for the first time, which is great, but I wish that many of those would also go back and see what Diablo II and to some extent even Diablo III has to offer.
This is so peaceful. Because of the music and because it reminds me of the most peaceful time I had when I played this game.
I think that many have a similar feeling. One can't go back in time but set aside some time for a real playing session, undisturbed, with the in game music .. go for it :)
Diablo series have always special place in my heart and in my opinion Tristram music is the best in game music ever composed soo far , i also love the other musics of Diablo games :) .
'Tristram' is many people's favorite, for me 'Wilderness' is #1.
I played this so much back in the day...hardcore pvp on a 56k modem, quite intense
Oh joy. And preferably playing melee in CS before they nerfed Oblivion Knights :-)
@@rebjorn79 haha yes indeed i remember that...oh boy
I also stayed awhile, and I also listened. Must be contagious.
Wait until you hear the Deckard Cain Rap!
listening to this, waiting for Diablo 2 remastered
I play Immortal now. Tbh its not there anymore, same for D3. Just listening this music brings all my childhood back. Thanks brother, for showing me this game. Always in my ❤
D2 really is the OG, the newer games seem to add too much complexity and they're not even doing it right.
Loved this, my friend and i play d3 alot amd we enjoy coop lots, too!
A really nice video man, those pictures are amazing !
Dominik Bašista
Agreed.
This is PERFECT for background music for Curse of Strahd
Glad you enjoy it. I use it for various ARPGs especially. I often keep it open on a 2d screen while playing.
Came for the nostalgia stayed for the friggin rockin Den of Evil theme, what a twisted masterpiece
Rrraaakkanishuuu!
There is only one word that needs to be used here PERFECTION.....
Yeah, this soundtrack is amazing. Talk about setting standards ..
Good list here. Downloaded it on my end. Enjoy this at work. I hope Diablo IIII brings us back to it's bloody roots. 👍
Hopefully they've got a competent team going and we'll have the best of all previous Diablo games all in one awesome experience.
@@rebjorn79ha
Legendary OST, one of the greatest in the history of VGM along with StrarCraft Brood War OST.
Stay awhile and listen.
Indeed.
D2 remake pls
funding pls
You need to secure the rights and you need the real blizz north devs for this. So have fun getting that first :D
I don't think, that the funding would be the primary issue
D1 for me please.
If a kickstarter for Diablo II remake is announced it will break 5 million by the 3rd day...
I stayed a while, and listened. I will stay a bit more now...
Rest easy, traveler.
