I love the atmosphere from Diablo 1, more scary and intense. Also the story it captivated me more then other 2 games. From my point of view the title of this game fits better. In Diablo 2 and 3 It's missing that feeling. Useless farming.
+Xibeleli Best graphics, music, and ambience by far. I also like the character sprites and armor more, as well as skill system. Diablo 2 was a good game, but didn't quite have the same impact. As for D3.. well I think we can all agree that is not a Diablo game at all
Some seriously great games. Diablo 1 had the best atmosphere and felt far more horror oriented whereas the other 2 games felt like they kept the theme but water downed the atmosphere Diablo 2 was great for being such a big improvement in not only combat but also items, classes, story, and bosses Diablo 3, while crap at launch, has proven to be a worthy game when RoS released. It's pretty addictive with the season system and adventure mode, although the horror atmosphere is pretty much nonexistent which is probably my biggest gripe with the game. It kept the hellish theme, but it felt more like "Bruce Campbell" horror in which it's not scary, just kinda cool.
When Diablo 1 came out I was not even a teenager. I remember being totally consumed by the atmosphere of feer and darkness. When the door to the Butcher's lair opened I was terrified. What a game. Many many game titles later I have never found one game that would have such a deep atmosphere as D1.
i dont agree with the "gay" statement. you just cant appreciate diablo 3. all the people i know who have played d3 loved the game and only critiqued the launch and some other unnecessary stuff. heck even i enjoyed d3 on my shitty laptop back in the day with my stepbrother. all you low life scumbags probably never played the game and just vibe with whatever someone says. maybe the horror side of the game faded a little but there are so many improvements we got nevermind visuals. blizzard has changed and people will change too, maybe i will hate d2 and d3 when d4 comes out and in the future i might only like d3 in the entire franchise. so what i'm saying here is, don't bullshit with people and when you got something to say, say it with confidence and maturity.
@@timsik08 There has been a ton of constructive criticism towards Diablo III over the years. It isn't just a bandwagon phenomenon. The original Diablo and WarCraft games made the foundation for Blizzard, but like with any other company they lost their gripe on basic greedy restraint. Diablo III was by all means a much more dumped down version of Diablo on most aspects from character building, abilities, gear to the lack of validity, justification and context in the story. The art style was also designed in a much more saturated cartoony style that deviated from the previous gothic/medieval theme. The entire meta of the game was basically gold farming for close to 2 years before the expansion created a different, yet just as boring, endgame with everything being centered around min-maxing the stat-sticks you have equipped. I'm not saying Diablo III was a bad game, I had some decent fun with it too, but it was a crappy Diablo game. If you consider these viewpoints as nothing but bullshit and a bandwagon ride, I suppose Blizzard just changed direction with a darker atmosphere in Diablo 4 for a random reason that has nothing to do with the points I made.
As far as I'm concerned, the first game nailed the theming and the desired sense of tension - but at the expense of playability. Having to click-spam was hard as Hell on the fingers and destroyed three perfectly good mice. Thank God, that's an easy piece of hardware to replace. :D As far as cons are concerned, I'd mention that back then, Blizz had no clue on how to moderate online play. I either played with close friends or family members - or just entirely offline. Going online meant you'd be exposed to dupers, player-killers or just awkwardly "helpful" types who'd shower you with gold just as you'd spawn in, killing all sense of challenge entirely. I remember a period in which introductory "gold showers" (not the kinky kind) was the go-to means of saying hello... Diablo II perfected the gameplay without making individual builds trivial. Being able to hold down a click to move or attack is a life-saver, and the already brisker pace and the addition of sprinting made encounters more tactical in nature. That sacrifices the first game's slow and tension-building crawl, but enemies are a lot more numerous on a per-map basis. That keeps the challenge up to a degree. Honestly, D2's my favorite, if only because you could give yourself ridiculous challenges based off of insane builds no mentally stable player would realistically want to try. Done everything there is to do? Try speccing a Sorceress who doesn't use spells and who only uses two-handed axes! Diablo 3, on the other hand, is incredibly polished and a little miracle of accessibility. It's not as dark or gothic in terms of visual design as the other two, sure, and the Necromancer class is missing - but I appreciate the fact that a lot of the fluff gets cut off. You'll only ever manage to get better with time and you can't gimp yourself by speccing your character in abortive ways. That kills the fun for some (me as well, to a degree), but it also focuses the experience. There's less trying and more doing. Otherwise, yeah - my gripes with it are standard as Hell: online-only sucks, the RMAH was a laughably predictable mistake, it doesn't pack the usual grit and grime we've come to expect out of the series, yadda yadda. It's competent, though, and I can't say I'm not having fun with my main character. Could I be having more fun with my old D2 Necro? Probably, but I don't think it's fair to expect one game to behave like another. I'd play D2 more often, and I'd definitely play it online - but it feels like there's nobody left on the official servers. Nobody outside of gold-farming peddlers, that is.
I've played all three of the games and diablo 2 is the best one. Diablo 1 only thing i didn't like was the fact that you could not see the health bar of who you're fighting. Diablo 3 just started to get good plus the fact you can play on console is always good.
and do not worry , go to twitch , there are many people watching and streaming D2 ,... i do as well , but i think i still have some problems with twitch
Just started a few characters on D1. Single and Multiplayer. People still appear even on Battle.Net there, normally on the US West gateway on channel Diablo USA-1 (even for non-US players). Just set up Hamachi and an IPX wrapper to play remotely with people I know, as well, avoiding Battle.Net too (if that's your thing).
Diablo 1 is still the best one for me. Powerful monsters, vicious demons, and savage undeads, shadows and dangers everywhere, creepy atmosphere, a character that, even with strong equipments, is still fragile as human, a fascinating story... A true masterpiece of terror ❤
I'm in the middle of replaying D1. It's still a great game, solid 1-2 weeks worth of replayability there, I recommend anyone who's never tried it to give it a shot. For the most part, it plays fine under modern OSs.
one question. Why does everyone here think that Diablo 3 sucks? I played Diablo 2 and all that, but just because the second game is considered better (cause of all the expansions/otherstuff) doesn't exactly make the third game bad... does it?
Diablo 1 has the most iconic atmosphere and aesthetics, dark, gory, claustrophobic, there is something undeniably riveting and captivating about the descending into hell itself, the music, sound design and visibility contributed a lot to the atmosphere. Diablo 2 has amazing itemization, skill tree and replaybility, the story and the world expanded a lot, not as dark as D1 but still gothic and sometimes scary. D3 has an excellent combat system and combat pacing, and gameplay is arguably the best out of the three, but the story telling has been toned down, the dark and gory atmosphere is just...gone...
Blizzard did an awesome job with this franchise. Incredible. Best game ever. 1, 2, 3 and the expansions. Awesome story, awesome gameplay, awesome graphics (3 should be darker I think) awesome atmosphere. Compared to the Diablo games Last of Us or GTA is nothing. The other games can hide behind this masterpiece.
The atmosphere of diablo 1 is so great, you feel the evil beneath tristram, and the deeper you get down the more evil it gets. I love Diablo 2 the gameplay was so good, it lost a bit of the atmosphere, but i still love the way act 1-4-5 look, act 2-3 dont really have the right atmosphere but stil it was okay. When i played diablo 3 I didnt feel any of the diablo atmosphere or gameplay, so I stopped playing it. And now when I see the gameplay videos of diablo immortal it looks like there is even less of the diablo atmosphere than in diablo 3 :(
If you want to play the real successor to Diablo 2, check out Path of Exile. Been playing it for 2 years and I can say it's a better game even than D2. And I'm pretty big D2 fan.
+Apothis28A Well the kanai's cube they recently introduced. Gives another layer of customization. The runeword system, I don't know how it would work on D3 since it's a pretty different game.
Iff Blizzard wants to make easy money, since all models of Diablo 2 where all rendered at high resolution, pick up all those D2 's 3d models and environnement, script them for a 3D gameplay, and I will buy it 60$ garanteed.
If only Blizzard North didn't got defunct in 2005 and the key people (Max Schaefer Erich Schaefer, David Brevik along with their team) responsible for Diablo and Diablo 2 expansion remained to complete Diablo 3. Things would be a different story and less people would rant compared to what we have today. Those guys know what they are doing. Blizzard Entertainment Major Stock Holder (Vivendi) are such assholes.
+Blitzwing39 Well to be honest, their game after leaving: hellgate london was terrible. Blizzard is not great for having key employees but because of their methodology and approach to developing games. The only good games made by ex Blizz North employees after leaving are Torchlight 1 & 2. If you look at Blizz North's D3 version, no surprise blizzard made it all over again. That game wasn't updated graphically, it was the same D2 2.5D graphics. Now D3 had a bad start since most of the developers came from the WoW team. Now they have a better and more solid team who understand better what diablo is all about and each patch the game just gets way better with many many people coming back to it.
what is the graphics mod showcased in the diablo 2 part of the presentation? it looks like the original "perspective" view added in the expansion but really enhanced
You know, i miss when being a melee, meant a armored person who hit things with his fucking weapon. No making rocks fall from the sky, not making volcanoes appear, not dropping a church bell on the enemy. Just hitting them with some cold hard icon weapon and hear them suffer.
I always had a problem with the inventory being full and not being able to carry all the loot I wanted. Was this fixed in diablo 3? I hope they at least added more space to the inventory if they don't want to add an unlimited inventory.
@@andres2625_ Although D3 is still my favorite mostly because it was my first D game. D4 plays better then D3 but looks mature as D2 with exceptional graphics. This is hands down Blizzards best work yet! 9/10 👍
@@Ghostofenzo i never player diablo. and with what i seen with blizzard and overwatch i cant respect their scamming asses. but ima have to give diablo 4 i try eventually
@@andres2625_ Once you play Diablo there’s no going back. The game grabs you and won’t let go. It’s highly addictive. Everything the game has is like a delicious recipe that all comes together perfectly to make the best meal you will ever eat! lol the game rest in my top 3 always and forever
If D3 was a large open field with hundreds of mobs to fight off that eventually led to caves with 3 elite packs and a guaranteed boss at the end it would be amazing. Maybe the new expansions "adventure mode" will be close enough, because as is it's a chore to play through a story with no enjoyable environments or moments.
I love D3, I have been a LONG time fan of Diablo. All of them are Great in my opinion. I think D3 had a more threatening version of Diablo though, he had the power of all 7 Evils, and seeing him Impale Imperious with ease, that was terrifying. But I will admit D2 was the best.
well, diablo 1 is verry dark and has a pretty deep feel to it. surely it is a pretty simle game compared to later ones, still has the verry best music, and the most coherent graphics. diablo 2 is tuned down by a lot. you don't get the deep feeling of diablo 1, meanwhile the gameplay did advance some. or not. its verry hard to do singleplayer max difficulty. if managable at all. at least i was unable. and it does not even feel that deep. diablo 3 with its multi-million damage hits, color cloud blurry cartoon graphics.. well.. its a new game. it has nothing to do with diablo. now diablo 2 had a looting system that made it pretty hard to get a given set, even if you had the proper runes it was hard to find a good item with enough sockets and so on.. while diablo 3 is even more for the general crowd. i don't like it. realy don't like diablo 3 at all. it just simply lacks everything that made diablo 1 a pretty damn good game. instead of dark things are now grey at best, there are no catchy tnes like the ones in diablo 1. actually if it was calle something else than diablo, then i would hardly find them relatives at all... kindof like WOW top screen mode. really.
singleplayer hell is easy , look at hell runs. you just neef tons of resistances , cuz in hell the modifier for resistances is -100 + every monster have resistance to something
From what I saw with the melee characters: Diablo 1 - health drops 50% in fight Diablo 2 - health drops 10% in fight Diablo 3 - health never drops during fight The casualization of RPG games summed it pretty well.
Blizzard North spent years trying to complete D3 between 2001-2005 but their parent company Vivendi kept turning down early versions (especially one in 2002 and another in 2005) due to poor quality. A new Blizzard development team eventually took over the series, and an early 2008-2009 beta they received poor reviews from fans due to the dark atmosphere and areas; fans wanted to see a WoW-inspired theme. After a dozen years of ups and downs, D3 finally hit shelves this year....phew!
Been replaying the first one with my gf and holy shit is it good. but hard, im a level 9 wizard and still cant kill the butcher. I had to run away from him last night and it was honestly terrifying. I havent ever been as scared as that while playing 2 and 3. They really got the horror elements and spooky atmosphere just right in d1
I like D1 the best but would be better with a stash, with gold like it is in D2 and D3 (does not hog inventory space), health bars, some more random quests, and a few more levels (like double the number the levels).
jere koLjonen lol diablo is not dead is soul was in the blacksoul stone wich malthael absorb in the fight of act v and by killing maltheal we released all the evil wich mean we are back too d1 time were all the evil are alive or maybe every evil are still in diablo who knows
jere koLjonen you kill diablo in diablo one too...and in diablo 2 again... and in diablo 3.. and we can sure as hell kill him again in diablo 4 5 6 ...100
It would be really nice if D4 release!!! New class, new story, and more!! Who knows when D 99 came we can actually go inside of the game and play it >:)
jere koLjonen If I remember well.. After you kill the diablo from diablo 1 your own character turns into diablo himself at the end (due the stone). So in diablo 2 you fight the diablo which was previously your hero. Not sure anymore tho.
+streetsleeper96 I agree his approach/comeback/explanation wasn't the best, but to think it "was enough to render you and your comment obsolete" is plain stupid.
the starting scene, is from Diablo: Hellfire, which is not from blizzard. if i remember correctly, its from Sierra. its not official ''expansion'' to D1
1:48 anyone knows the name of the uniq helm/ runeword/ trigred fire skill? that valkyrie barbarian dual wielding spears/swods looks cool spewing blazes of fire...
+CJLAKE123 Monk is badass aswell in D1, he will beat the crap out of all enemies, especially in melee combat like noone, plus manashield, truly unstoppable!!
In Diablo:Hellfire there is, maybe not in the early version..... I played him abit, but I am so much into warrior in Diablo 1, that I hardly play anyone else. Monk could be good on higher difficulties I think.
Between each game, you should have used the soundtrack of the area, would've been priceless ! Because hearing this music from D3 on a Diablo comparison feels like D3 is the winner but isn't at all :(
for me diablo 1 is simply the better game... down to it's simplicity as well! And overall nice story And I think Diablo 1 looks better as well then Diablo 2...
Huh, it's funny though but most videos from Diablo 3 shown here are from the time before it was even released. Which means that they are out of date, and not reflecting the real game which is Diablo 3. Oh and by the way, yes I think Diablo 3 is not what we all expected, but rather a reboot/remake of what we already had in Diablo 1,2, and LOD. With some WOW graphism on top of that... nothing more nothing less, aside form the BIG frustration this game brought true fans of the franchise...
I haven't played D1 or D2 but I find it hilarious how people think they're so much better than D3 cos they're not. Yeah sure, D3 sucked at first but it has improved massively since then and now it's fucking awesome. D3 is different but that doesn't mean it's worse. Thank god I'm not one of those whiny close minded assholes that complain about everything and hate a game when it does something different and isn't what they expected. That's why I can appreciate games like Resident Evil 5, Castlevania: LoS, Final Fantasy XIII, Dark Souls 2 and so on. Those games are amazing but a lot of people hate them just cos they're different than their predecessors.
Yung Turks Actually I said that people think D1 and D2 are SO MUCH BETTER than D3. Basically, a lot of people think that D3 is complete shit while the first two games are fucking godly masterpieces. While I haven't played D1 and D2 I have seen a lot of stuff about them and they look awesome. I understand why some people prefer the more darker atmosphere and more detailed leveling system and stuff but what pisses me off is that those people shit all over D3 just because it's different. Even I prefer the darker atmosphere and I can't wait to play D1 and D2 someday but I can also appreciate the things that D3 does. If you have a good reason to dislike D3 then that's understandable but if you shit all over it without any good reason then you're a close minded asshole. Personally I think I'm gonna enjoy D1 and D2 maybe even more than D3 because of their dark atmosphere. So again, my point is: different doesn't mean worse. Anyway, have a good day :)
***** Thank you for your kindness! I'd been trying to figure it out so hard. But I failed. I really appreciate it. I wish your luck to be a good guitar player.
its some of songs from diablo 1 2 and 3. 0:00 "and the heavens shall tremble" from diablo 3 1:47 honestly not sure what song this is. Think it might be from the lord of destruction expantion pack. 3:09 its the end of "wilderness" from diablo 2 4:26 "and the heavens shall tremble" again 5:02 "tristram" from diablo 1 and 2
i think diablo 3 was just focusing on the huge updates of graphics instead of gameplay, diablo 3 felt short and irritating. i do still like it, i just think blizzard could have done better
diablo 3 is kinda like a childish game when faced with the two legendary games but it also has its good sides which is 1.some parts of graphics 2.skill animations 3.classes 4.good on ps4 somehow nerdy on the pc 5.awesome when played with 2-3 friends 6.the way you character changes its look when you change equipments those are my opinions but in gameplay i prefer D2 cuz i like its style

Blizzard Entertainment Major Stock Holder (Vivendi) are such assholes.
+Blitzwing39 Well to be honest, their game after leaving: hellgate london was terrible. Blizzard is not great for having key employees but because of their methodology and approach to developing games. The only good games made by ex Blizz North employees after leaving are Torchlight 1 & 2. If you look at Blizz North's D3 version, no surprise blizzard made it all over again. That game wasn't updated graphically, it was the same D2 2.5D graphics.
Now D3 had a bad start since most of the developers came from the WoW team. Now they have a better and more solid team who understand better what diablo is all about and each patch the game just gets way better with many many people coming back to it.
+Fernando Sahmkow 2.5D ISO is far superior to the cartoony world of warcraft generic crap everyone is spewing out now. Shame on you

one of the things i love about diablo is how the terrifying forces of hell get fucking plowed by your awesome power
what is the graphics mod showcased in the diablo 2 part of the presentation? it looks like the original "perspective" view added in the expansion but really enhanced
You know, i miss when being a melee, meant a armored person who hit things with his fucking weapon. No making rocks fall from the sky, not making volcanoes appear, not dropping a church bell on the enemy. Just hitting them with some cold hard icon weapon and hear them suffer.
I always had a problem with the inventory being full and not being able to carry all the loot I wanted. Was this fixed in diablo 3? I hope they at least added more space to the inventory if they don't want to add an unlimited inventory.
I don’t know about everyone else but I love D3 to heart and I definitely can’t wait for D4!!!
hows d4?
@@andres2625_ Addicting like crack! 🤤
@@andres2625_ Although D3 is still my favorite mostly because it was my first D game. D4 plays better then D3 but looks mature as D2 with exceptional graphics. This is hands down Blizzards best work yet! 9/10 👍
@@Ghostofenzo i never player diablo. and with what i seen with blizzard and overwatch i cant respect their scamming asses. but ima have to give diablo 4 i try eventually
@@andres2625_ Once you play Diablo there’s no going back. The game grabs you and won’t let go. It’s highly addictive. Everything the game has is like a delicious recipe that all comes together perfectly to make the best meal you will ever eat! lol the game rest in my top 3 always and forever
If D3 was a large open field with hundreds of mobs to fight off that eventually led to caves with 3 elite packs and a guaranteed boss at the end it would be amazing. Maybe the new expansions "adventure mode" will be close enough, because as is it's a chore to play through a story with no enjoyable environments or moments.
I love D3, I have been a LONG time fan of Diablo. All of them are Great in my opinion. I think D3 had a more threatening version of Diablo though, he had the power of all 7 Evils, and seeing him Impale Imperious with ease, that was terrifying. But I will admit D2 was the best.
jasper Bacon diablo in d1 was waaayyy harder. especially if you played a warrior.
And that is where the idea of a Nephalem Rift was born!
@@jasperBacon i love diablo 3 too
Is this the last post you're going to make on this website?
awesome comparison!
well, diablo 1 is verry dark and has a pretty deep feel to it.
surely it is a pretty simle game compared to later ones, still has the verry best music, and the most coherent graphics.
diablo 2 is tuned down by a lot. you don't get the deep feeling of diablo 1, meanwhile the gameplay did advance some. or not. its verry hard to do singleplayer max difficulty. if managable at all. at least i was unable. and it does not even feel that deep.
diablo 3 with its multi-million damage hits, color cloud blurry cartoon graphics.. well.. its a new game. it has nothing to do with diablo.
now diablo 2 had a looting system that made it pretty hard to get a given set, even if you had the proper runes it was hard to find a good item with enough sockets and so on..
while diablo 3 is even more for the general crowd. i don't like it. realy don't like diablo 3 at all. it just simply lacks everything that made diablo 1 a pretty damn good game.
instead of dark things are now grey at best, there are no catchy tnes like the ones in diablo 1.
actually if it was calle something else than diablo, then i would hardly find them relatives at all...
kindof like WOW top screen mode. really.
singleplayer hell is easy , look at hell runs. you just neef tons of resistances , cuz in hell the modifier for resistances is -100 + every monster have resistance to something
+Nagy Andras Hey...The Reaper of Souls theme is pretty legit...
raphaeltrumpetsound but still Diablo 2+lod > Diablo 1 >>>> Diablo 3
Diablo 3 just isnt diablo
D3 is spoiled as Sacred 3....stupid arcade style maked 4 litle kids,,,and drop rate of rare items in D3 is different bad story
What the cartoonish aspect could be due to the influence of WoW.
awesome video
From what I saw with the melee characters:
Diablo 1 - health drops 50% in fight
Diablo 2 - health drops 10% in fight
Diablo 3 - health never drops during fight
The casualization of RPG games summed it pretty well.
at 2:05, What is that firestorm? The barbarian does not have something like that does he? Or is it a druid that I cannot see?
Very nice!
Diablo 3 add so much sugar it can be treated as manga porn
All games from blizzard = TO COOL :( i miss warcraft 3 diablo 2 and starcraft 1:(
are you playing d3 on xbox?
Diablo II is my favorite, but I don't see why people hate Diablo III.
It's pretty fun.
DII all the way.
What is the HD-Resolution-Mod called for Diablo 2 that is show in this video?
Yea and it was quite impressive back then.
Though, to be exact, that footage is a from a expansion released by Sierra in 1997.
Blizzard North spent years trying to complete D3 between 2001-2005 but their parent company Vivendi kept turning down early versions (especially one in 2002 and another in 2005) due to poor quality. A new Blizzard development team eventually took over the series, and an early 2008-2009 beta they received poor reviews from fans due to the dark atmosphere and areas; fans wanted to see a WoW-inspired theme. After a dozen years of ups and downs, D3 finally hit shelves this year....phew!
Been replaying the first one with my gf and holy shit is it good. but hard, im a level 9 wizard and still cant kill the butcher. I had to run away from him last night and it was honestly terrifying. I havent ever been as scared as that while playing 2 and 3. They really got the horror elements and spooky atmosphere just right in d1
I like D1 the best but would be better with a stash, with gold like it is in D2 and D3 (does not hog inventory space), health bars, some more random quests, and a few more levels (like double the number the levels).
Man the memories
Cant wait for D4 xD
This is only a myth, but will diablo even continue? In Diablo III you killed Diablo
What's left?
NOTHING
jere koLjonen lol diablo is not dead is soul was in the blacksoul stone wich malthael absorb in the fight of act v and by killing maltheal we released all the evil wich mean we are back too d1 time were all the evil are alive or maybe every evil are still in diablo who knows
jere koLjonen you kill diablo in diablo one too...and in diablo 2 again... and in diablo 3.. and we can sure as hell kill him again in diablo 4 5 6 ...100
It would be really nice if D4 release!!!
New class, new story, and more!!
Who knows when D 99 came we can actually go inside of the game and play it >:)
jere koLjonen
If I remember well.. After you kill the diablo from diablo 1 your own character turns into diablo himself at the end (due the stone).
So in diablo 2 you fight the diablo which was previously your hero. Not sure anymore tho.
Why "evolution"? Diablo 1&2 are realistic ARPG, while Diablo 3 is a cartoonish Hack'n Slash, that is evolution of nothing, is a change of genre.
Did you see the inventory icons? of course...
"Did you saw[...]" was enough to render you and your comment obsolete. And no, english is not my native language.
streetsleeper96 what is the problem with the language? we are talking about a videogame, are you uncomfortable with what implies my comment?
+streetsleeper96 I agree his approach/comeback/explanation wasn't the best, but to think it "was enough to render you and your comment obsolete" is plain stupid.
I agree, that was acutally the reason why i didnt play diablo 3... :/
why do you used the D3 beta and not the final game??
that diablo 3 was either super early alpha phase or developer footage
Diablo 1 is the best. By far.
the starting scene, is from Diablo: Hellfire, which is not from blizzard. if i remember correctly, its from Sierra. its not official ''expansion'' to D1
5:47 Your "stash" in D1 :D
1 is good old memory, 2 was best, 3 was disaster
1:48
anyone knows the name of the uniq helm/ runeword/ trigred fire skill?
that valkyrie barbarian dual wielding spears/swods looks cool spewing blazes of fire...
Khajiit Hadwares is a jewel
I think i meant the one at 02:04
It's "just" the torch (unique large charm)
Diablo 1 : Dark Fantasy
Diablo 2 : High Fantasy
Diablo 3 : Comedic Fantasy
For me Diablo 2 was the bes
omg d1 looks great
Things have changed since Diablo ROS.
Indeed :P
0:13 whats the name of the music ?
Thanks, I forgot about enchants.
Oh my god, I posted this a year ago. Sorry, I am amazed that I remember this comment. Thanks.
My God that is insane I forgot the wizard was that powerful in D1.
+CJLAKE123 Monk is badass aswell in D1, he will beat the crap out of all enemies, especially in melee combat like noone, plus manashield, truly unstoppable!!
Sergei P The monk isn't in DIablo 1.
In Diablo:Hellfire there is, maybe not in the early version..... I played him abit, but I am so much into warrior in Diablo 1, that I hardly play anyone else. Monk could be good on higher difficulties I think.
na D1 > D2 >>>>>>> D3
D2 > D1 > D3 )
D2 = D1 > Pokemon Red > > >Tetris >>The Simpsons Wrestling >> >> D3
I think everyone should agree with that.
Between each game, you should have used the soundtrack of the area, would've been priceless ! Because hearing this music from D3 on a Diablo comparison feels like D3 is the winner but isn't at all :(
for me diablo 1 is simply the better game... down to it's simplicity as well! And overall nice story
And I think Diablo 1 looks better as well then Diablo 2...
Huh, it's funny though but most videos from Diablo 3 shown here are from the time before it was even released. Which means that they are out of date, and not reflecting the real game which is Diablo 3. Oh and by the way, yes I think Diablo 3 is not what we all expected, but rather a reboot/remake of what we already had in Diablo 1,2, and LOD. With some WOW graphism on top of that... nothing more nothing less, aside form the BIG frustration this game brought true fans of the franchise...
I would have loved to see Diablo 3 with High res sprites!!! Diablo 3 does not look like a Diablo game.
I like all three
Music is way too loud in this video but I love every Diablo title thus far!
Diablo 1 is the best for me
I haven't played D1 or D2 but I find it hilarious how people think they're so much better than D3 cos they're not. Yeah sure, D3 sucked at first but it has improved massively since then and now it's fucking awesome. D3 is different but that doesn't mean it's worse. Thank god I'm not one of those whiny close minded assholes that complain about everything and hate a game when it does something different and isn't what they expected. That's why I can appreciate games like Resident Evil 5, Castlevania: LoS, Final Fantasy XIII, Dark Souls 2 and so on. Those games are amazing but a lot of people hate them just cos they're different than their predecessors.

Actually I said that people think D1 and D2 are SO MUCH BETTER than D3. Basically, a lot of people think that D3 is complete shit while the first two games are fucking godly masterpieces. While I haven't played D1 and D2 I have seen a lot of stuff about them and they look awesome. I understand why some people prefer the more darker atmosphere and more detailed leveling system and stuff but what pisses me off is that those people shit all over D3 just because it's different. Even I prefer the darker atmosphere and I can't wait to play D1 and D2 someday but I can also appreciate the things that D3 does. If you have a good reason to dislike D3 then that's understandable but if you shit all over it without any good reason then you're a close minded asshole. Personally I think I'm gonna enjoy D1 and D2 maybe even more than D3 because of their dark atmosphere. So again, my point is: different doesn't mean worse. Anyway, have a good day :)
I never said D3 is shit. I also look forward to playing that game in the near future myself :)
Yung Turks
I never meant that you said D3 is shit, I meant that a lot of people say that :)
oh k
Diablo 1 is the best,only kid will say 2&3 are better.
I finished inferno without paying a dime.
i love how the footage you show from d3 doesnt exist
Diablo 1 was the best one.

Can someone tell me the name of the music 3:10 ?
***** Thank you for your kindness! I'd been trying to figure it out so hard. But I failed. I really appreciate it. I wish your luck to be a good guitar player.
Fighter, archer, wizard
how can i make uber quests?
Diablo 2
whats the music name?
its some of songs from diablo 1 2 and 3.
0:00 "and the heavens shall tremble" from diablo 3
1:47 honestly not sure what song this is. Think it might be from the lord of destruction expantion pack.
3:09 its the end of "wilderness" from diablo 2
4:26 "and the heavens shall tremble" again
5:02 "tristram" from diablo 1 and 2
How you play d2 on widescreen??
Google "diablo 2 multires" :D
Lê Văn Tịnh thanks man ;)
its a weapon charge like you can get a weapon with 15 fireball charges :D
i think diablo 3 was just focusing on the huge updates of graphics instead of gameplay, diablo 3 felt short and irritating. i do still like it, i just think blizzard could have done better
2020 Project Diablo2 win all
It was exactly the same with D2 prior to expansion...
Diablo 2 is the Best
diablo 3 is kinda like a childish game when faced with the two legendary games
but it also has its good sides which is
1.some parts of graphics
2.skill animations
3.classes
4.good on ps4 somehow nerdy on the pc
5.awesome when played with 2-3 friends
6.the way you character changes its look when you change equipments
those are my opinions
but in gameplay i prefer D2 cuz i like its style
Trilogy Logic
First = Less, Second =Balance, Third = Too Much
That wasn't the original D3 o.o dunno which version u play'd, but the one i know is far better that in this video.
Its sad that it went d1 < d2 > d3
D1>>D2+D3
z ahio Lucky we have "The Hell" mod now for D1
And Nezeramontias for D2 :)
For me it's D1.
