@@slobrat3556 are you sure? I'm pretty certain he is saying something completely different. The last instrument he mentions?

Hammered Dolcimer

The legion agrees to these words.

Mick Gordon I think took that spot with the Doom soundtracks

Well, maybe Gustavo Santaolalla.

Absolutely.

@@AcousticOlli Uematsu is definitely the GOAT. Others (David Wise, Koji Kondo, etc, honestly don't even come close even though they too are among best)

He says its CGDGAD at 6:29

the "country style" was just him improvising from the top of his head

Diablo 3 turned into a great game in the expansion. But still it does not feel like a diablo game to me. I feel like Indigo Gaming's video on the matter explains what im feeling pretty well. Go watch it! :) /watch?v=ME-0-i6-0No

Nowak you haven't been civilized since Diablo 1 lol

That's so funny Rusty, guess who of us that got a degree in gamedesign, "lol" ;)

As much as the expansion saved Diablo 3's gameplay and the 5th act went a better direction than the first 3, nothing will redeem its story or art design. And as solid as the gameplay is, all the horror is gone. It almost plays like a bullet hell at this point It isn't a bad game, it's very fun, but thematically and in where the gameplay focus went, it just simply doesn't feel, look, or sound like a Diablo game, hence it is a bad Diablo game, for me. Path of Exile is a better successor to Diablo 2 than Diablo 3 was in that respect The feeling I got playing Diablo 1 for the first time as a kid when this whole form of gameplay was unfamiliar can be recreated for me by installing The Hell mod for D1, it's slow, methodical, with a palpable sense of danger and dread at every encounter. Almost like an isometric AARPG equivalent of Dark Souls in terms of how it felt to play. You truly did feel like a small human fighter in way out of your depth clinging to survival in a descent to hell. The walking mechanic for instance; what the walking did was make it so monsters walked as fast as you did, you had to plan your routes or you could find yourself cut off and trapped. Diablo 2 lost some of that and Diablo 3 barely has it at all short of some more extreme rifts in the endgame. To draw analogies to other games in terms of player empowerment, in Diablo 1 you feel like a vulnerable character in a horror title, while in Diablo 3 you feel like the Doomslayer out of the recent doom release. The gameplay is faster, tighter, more streamlined, you are given a ridiculous amount of power and the enemies scale to your character making progression often feel quite meaningless as you're staying on top of a ladder that simply grows with you. All of this kills the atmosphere which I loved so much in the original. And to be clear, it's not just the art design, it's the gameplay design that kills the horror just as effectively All of that is what was lost with Diablo 3 for me The upcoming horror game Agony has a more compelling depiction of a descent through hell for me, just give the character a weapon only just powerful enough to give them a fighting chance (That handle similarly to weapons in, say, Dark Messiah), place a few Diablo 1 monsters with similar behaviours in there and that's a first person interpretation of Diablo that I'll find more true to the series than Diablo 3 was.

Diablo 1 was a dead-serious game. It was truly scary, and meant to be scary. It was harsh and unrelenting, and punishing. Most important of all, it had a soul of itself, I know no other way to put it. Diablo 3 is a game, a toy, meant to have fun, even from the couch using a gaming console, meant to make you feel happy and cool and pwning. The game takes you by the hand, and drops unique tailored to your character. There is no way to fuck up, the game is forgiving. It points arrows to skills to level and people to talk to. It is the arcade-version of the girlfriend-friendly world of Warcraft. It is littered with cutscenes and dialogues, the game is glued together by chained quests. In diablo 1, you were on your own, out there, in a world that grew more evil with every stairs down. It's just a different approach to gaming. Games nowadays are aimed at a broad public and are meant to satisfy gamers needs to own and feel tough. Diablo 1 didn't make you feel tough, you were a poor loser, lost in hell.

how so

graphics for start, fluidity of levels, and ofcourse - items, story, bosses... D1 and 2 were epic at their own time.

Diablo 2 has had more streamers on Twitch.tv compared to Diablo 3 this past few months. Diablo 1 and 2 are the best Diablo's to EVER exist.

not fair too say, too harsh. yes, Diablo 1 and 2 were completely different games than D3. D3 was a fine game, it just didn't live up to the hype

It didn't live up to D2, outdated tech even its own time. it's the product of laziness. "do something well, or don't do it at all".
