My affair started with a bootleg version of the original Diablo on the PlayStation 1 back in 1998 and recently ended with Path of Exile on the PlayStation 4. Before the console folks start sharpening their pitchforks and soaking their torches, let me assure you: I'm no stranger to ARPGs on consoles. Personally, the entire beta fell apart when I played, or rather - attempted - to play in on my PlayStation 4. Now, for some more information on the PlayStation 4 version of the title. The hulking Duriel with his close-to-one-shot-death-hits saw me on the edge of my chair and couch. The thrill of Andariel pelting you with hits while you scramble to overcome her poison felt great. Back to the present, and laying waste to Andariel and Duriel felt superb (it also looked it). I look forward to achieving this monumental feat once more with a paladin when Diablo 2 Resurrected releases on the 23rd of September. The title is only awarded to those who have bested the game on the Hell (highest) difficulty. Playing through the first two acts brought back memories of my hardcore Zeal/Fanaticism paladin named Ezekial.Īfter near countless attempts, I finally achieved the famed "Patriarch" title with him.
Stable frame rates, minimal input lag, and gorgeous graphics paved the way for a glorious weekend with an old-time friend. The PC version of Diablo 2 Resurrected performed without so much as a hitch. For that, I am thankful, as it would not have been fair to play only one version and write about it as many gamers will purchase the title on consoles.
I purposefully waited to experience both the console and PC versions of the game before writing this beta impressions piece. The latest offering comes to us in the form of Diablo 2 Resurrected. Though, truth be told, it does come with one (or maybe two) massive downsides: the dreaded or sometimes amazing remake/remaster craze. Getting this invested into a series of games and following them for a decade or even more is fantastic. These are the game series I constantly recommend to folks or can get sucked into a conversation spanning hours on. Kingdom Hearts, Dark Souls (and Bloodborne), Persona titles, Monster Hunter, and of course, Diablo. Even as a die-hard gamer, there's only a handful of game series I hold dear.
