I am 36 years old now. 20 YEARS AGO my 3 brothers and me used to share the only computer available at home to play this game during hours. When finally Diablo 3 was announced we were too excited but it was disappointing. At that time I remember said to my little brother: why they can't do the same game but with crazy graphics... and now the gods have listened or maybe the evils. I can't be more exited by a game, and I am sure that we are too many sharing this feeling
@Azure_Wulf3 жыл бұрын
My brothers and I also shared one computer to play D2. We made the mistake of talking Mom into playing and she quickly became addicted and thus our time was reduced even further. She doesn't know it yet but I plan on gifting her a switch along with a copy of D2:re when it comes out.

I love the Diablo 2 story. I was about 5 years old when I convinced my mom to buy it for me. A neighbor kid's dad had been playing it and I really wanted it. Marius is such a gullible and tragic character. It was so shocking to learn Marius was talking to Baal in disguise, and then his demise. Simply the best. Video games have attempted to build better, more modern interpretations of the genre and always fail in comparison. Diablo 2 is more than just a video game for me.

A secret tomb concealed in a hidden valley only accessible through a uniquely conjured portal located in a forbidden labyrinth underneath the harem in the palace of the ruling family of Lut Golein. On top of that it could only be opened with the Horadric Staff...The Haradrim went through a shitload of trouble to hide the lord of destruction away. Yet somehow Diablo just walks right in and frees him, that part always bugged me.
