What it's like playing D2R on CONSOLE - Diablo 2 Resurrected on Nintendo Switch OLED - Patch 2.5

[@Carcass-3332]

Great video man. I have been a diehard PC gamer for 15-20 years and recently got a switch with D2 on it and i'm enjoying it a lot, i'm playing singleplayer. The controls are great, but because of the lack of a mouse inventory is a little slower but i definitely doable. My biggest problem with D2R, (and the switch) is that the loading times are excruciating. I can imagine it would really slow down some runs, like kurast for runes. Other than that i'm really enjoying it.

[@smalps-gaming]

Great to hear! Much love for the switch. Yea I am sure it would slow down for LK runs, but it's still a very enjoyable experience and runs well on switch. Sadly there is no D4 on switch. Yet. Thanks for watching and the comment!

[@JTheraos]

@@smalps-gaming the switch will never be able to run d4, even in its dreams lol I've got a gtx 1060 and it's STRUGGLING. The switch is like 1/100 as much graphical/processing power as my shit tier pc lol

[@smalps-gaming]

@@JTheraos d4 not coming to switch. Maybe the next version of switch.

[@jayspace2905]

You know whats crazy? I just bought D2 on the switch lol. Personally I love the game so far. Hate that I can't check my hours bc it keeps saying "lasted played 3 days ago", even though I'm playing it, but I'd imagine that I have at least 20 hours so far. This is my first Diablo game so I was searching and searching for a good reason to but the game and I bought it. I was going to buy the bundle with D3 and I released that D3 wasn't necessary for me. I was gonna play D2 anyway. I'm trying to play as blind as possible because it's really engaging so I'm going to watch the whole video lol. I'm a level 19 Beserker who just got cube but not the staff. Enjoying the game so far.

[@smalps-gaming]

Awesome man! I am glad you are liking it. It's one of the greatest games ever made! And because this game has so much longevity, people are still playing it. True Classic. Hope you enjoy it. If you have any questions feel free to reach out. Switch will tell you how long you have played it in the profile soon enough. I have over 1800 hours.

[@ashed33]

Connect to the internet to update the hours

[@kriswempa5171]

Thanks for the video. I didn't know about having the second set of button mappings for the weapon swap. I will definitely make use of that. D2R goes beautifully with the Switch due to the amount of item farming required. Anytime I have even a few minutes to spare (usually when I'm waiting for others to get ready to leave the house), I can pick up the Switch and make a few quick runs through Lower Kurast.

[@smalps-gaming]

Yea I found out about the weapon swap after and it’s a big difference! Don’t need battle orders mapped all the time.

Couldn't agree more! This game plays well as a controller game! Please keep me posted on how to think it plays and compared to PC.

[@Hunor45]

@@smalps-gaming Well, I've been playing on Swich since this morning. I played for about 4-5 hours and so far I can say it's great! It takes some getting used to, but the farming is a bit slow.

After a few months I got bored of bnet so I made an offline sorc on my switch. I have been playing offline on switch for the last 6 months or so. I absolutely love the ability to play anywhere!

[@Peakapew]

Nice video! I've been playing on switch offline working on a grail and like it in general. I hadn't known about the loot to cube functionality, but will def use that now. The biggest drawbacks for me are targeting/tele stomping are very tricky and social play sucks without a chat. Solo/offline is where it shines a bit more since you can play anywhere and without internet, like in a car, plane, etc.

[@smalps-gaming]

Nice! Thanks for watching. Yea a lot of people are liking SP on Switch. Targeting and tele is a drawback compared to PC, but generally, its not a deal breaker. You get used to it.

Hi, I'm a D2R junkie, been my long time favorite since LoD, 1.10; when d2r launched on PC, my PC was a bit outdated 2 run it smoothly even on legacy mode and minimal graphic options, bought it on ps5 and it is by far the best experience, instant load from wp 2 wp, even among different act wps; later I snatched my wife's switch 2 play on the go, and the game experience is somewhere in the middle (old PC and ps5), load times take considerably longer when creating games, when ingame wp teleport also takes like 6-10 sec; max player reduced does impact the amount of public games you find, trading or using D2jsp 2 trade, makes way 2 bothersome the way to get ppl on your game 2 get items.

[@smalps-gaming]

Thanks for the comment. I am curious about the experience on PS5. Are you playing online or SP? I think doing trades on discord or 3rd party platforms is better anyway. Than making trade games and sitting around waiting. I have used discord and traderie, but I have not used D2JSP at all.

Extended hotbar? In d2 on pc, you can literally map as many skills as you want. You can have like 25 skills mapped at once. I'm not sure I understand what you mean. The hotbar on switch only shows 6 spells. I imagine you can switch to another 6, but you still have to switch. Pc you just click the button that corresponds to the skill you wanna cast.

One other feature to the Switch/Consoles: AUTO SORT INV!!! AMAZING!! PC players should be jelly. It even auto reloads your pots in your belt too!

[@smalps-gaming]

VERY NICE! I don't usually do the auto sort thing because I like my items in particular order. But there are a LOT of benefits to controller that people are missing out on.

[@JTheraos]

Auto sort and more stash tabs are literally all I want to make this game the best game ever. That's been my massive gripe since starting last month is that I have to play tetris to get some items to fit where they didn't fit before, and having to port and sell every minute in order to not run out of gold is irritating. And people leave most shit on the ground? I pickup and sell EVERY item that's blue or better, and I pickup alot of greys, and I STILL am out of gold nearly 24/7.

Hi, I just bought d2r on switch and was curious if after all this time playing, you had found a way to improve the loading time when playing offline characters

[@smalps-gaming]

Nope! The loading screens are bad on switch. Even frigid highlands can kill you. Uber portal as well can be bad.

[@SwitchGamer84]

How does teleport work on switch? On PC, you would have to click to the spot you want to teleport to. I’m curious how to navigate that on the switch.

[@smalps-gaming]

Teleport is not as precise on console. It’s a fixed distance. So once you are used to the distance, its quite easy to teleport around and tele away from things. With practice you can accurately tele stomp things as well. It’s really not bad at all. You just lose the ability to short teleport like you can on PC.

[@daliendaan]

The only thing i dont like on switch d2r is as example if you play Barb, normally you click with your mouse where you wanna Leap to even if there is no enemy. On Switch when you are around a lot of mobs sometimes it automatically leaps on to the nearest or auto focused mob. Kinda annoying. But it works pretty well over all

[@daliendaan]

Like when you are surrounded by mobs and want to leap out but instead he starts jumping at the mobs 🙄 come on…

[@smalps-gaming]

Haha yup! I get that. Thankfully you don’t get that kinda response from teleport! If you are among mobs and want to tele out, you can. Small differences in each platform. Positives and negatives.

[@kriswempa5171]

Another annoying thing is how it handles opening chests. If an enemy is close by, it will make the "A" button attack the enemy instead of opening the chest. Normally, this is fine. However, when I'm inside a hut or building and the enemy is outside, I would prefer it open the chest. Every time this happens, I have to run out of the building and kill the nearby creatures before returning to the building to open the chest. This is so frustrating.

[@smalps-gaming]

@@kriswempa5171 Interesting, I have no experienced that. I have my sorc mapped A button to TK so that it doesn't get confused with an attack really. And on my other chars I don't have A mapped to anything. I guess ideally on other chars you could make "loot to cube" mapped to A.

Not sure on the battery life on full to 0%. If you play offline, yes the files are saved locally. So you can play it offline on airplane mode. You just need to make sure that the switch you are using is "primary" or else it will need internet to check if you are able to play the game prior.

Yup. Understandable. There is no chat function in game for all console’s. But you can use the network for chat like on PS5 the PSN network. But there is no chat like that on switch because of the platform. I use discord in that case which is better and fine. But I get it.

Haven't played this since I had it on console

[@JTheraos]

But... this is on a console

[@juancimino296]

Had they release this physically I would have bought it

[@smalps-gaming]

You don’t like digital?

[@juancimino296]

@@smalps-gaming No I dont, if theres no physical release I just avoid the game completly. It might sound a bit extreme but the only thing I can do as a consumer to protect physical media is avoid spending my money on digital copies.

Thank you! On which discord do you trade?

[@smalps-gaming]

I am active on the reddit discord for d2r

[@kenmckeogh7659]

Nintendo switch is missing the chat part to it. It makes communication between players challenging. Other than that it is fun.

[@smalps-gaming]

I agree with that. I think it has its benefits too though. Although Im not going to say its better. But with no chat on switch, there is less hate haha. Ive seen some PC chats.

I loved diablo 2 since old pc version I didn't like graphic and couldnt understand english

Someone remind me to watch this

[@ivanleonov439]

Do you need Nintendo online to play this game?

[@smalps-gaming]

Yes you do need a Nintendo online sub to play.

[@jasensantos209]

I believe you can play offline without the online subscription if you put your switch on airplane mode.

30 day DRM, I’ll pass

[@richardsjpark]

Add chat and potion keybind switch or riot!

[@smalps-gaming]

Adding chat would be great. But because it's nintendo... they might not add this. No hope for D4 on Switch either at the moment.

KZbin what's up?

[@smalps-gaming]

What up homie!!?

[@thomaatoes2874]

I got it from eternal collection. i played as paladin. level 5 in and encountered a boss with a bow and 5 other archers who can freeze me and the minions would just rain down arrows. Im not sure if im playing diablo 2 or dark souls. I like Diablo 3 more. Made a decked out tal rasha meteor sorcerer. and never looked back to D2. too slow and difficult.

[@smalps-gaming]

Sounds like you might be playing D2. D3 was not good in my opinion. I did give it an honest try and played it for about 55 hours. But It was not like D2 for me, so I didn't enjoy it as much and dropped it. D2 has been able to capture my attention like no other game has.

[@azarath20000]

Terrible review, leaks all the gameplay and unnecessarily long, just use footage of the first 2 levels like literally all the other tech reviewers

[@smalps-gaming]

Wasn't meant to be a review... so

[@TKD0GG]

Bruh… the game is like 25 years old. There’s nearly no story anyways. You saw Diablo? Get real lol.
