I Love you, Mad Season ..but i cannot install that war thunder shite on my computer

@@Funkiam To be fair it's actually a great F2P game if you're into that genre.

Don't tempt me. Begone, satan@@NukE30

is there a code i should use in my forum posts on war thunder exposing state secrets to win arguments?

great video, i bought almost all games from blizzard with physical copies but after diablo 3 shenanigans, i only turned more skeptic always prefering getting spoiled in reviews or videos than jumping on the hype train again i almost got hooked by overwatch when it launched, thank god i was spared the disappointment

a decade? It's already a dumpster fire.

Lmao, blizzard is shitting out nothing but wet, gross, diarrhea quality games. Anything outside SoD is very poo

​​@@cm9334SoD is just diarrhea that doesn't burn quite as bad on the way out

They doubled it indeed

It took ten years because @MadSeason just got into the D3 servers.

Correct. I don't understand how Mad Season didn't mention this.

Probably just an oversight. Mad is a very thorough guy I've found.

☝️🤓

@@CalTNCan also confirm @Noksivs, perhaps it got through the proof reading somehow, fairly beinign to miss I guess.

So, to shorten everything you just said one could say: "he joined Blizzard"

I had the same exact experience on launch. I played a lot of D3 solo and with friends, and Inferno balancing on release was absolutely laughable The first act was pretty alright, you could do Butcher runs pretty smoothly but you had to work to get to that level Act 2 though? An actual joke. I distinctly remember getting to the second area for the first time with friends and instantly dying in one hit to those stupid bees in the very first area. You could legit get off-screened by them, it was horrible I ended up BARELY clearing Act 2 by doing a disgusting amount of Butcher runs, buying gear off of the Auction House, and corpse running through some of the harder parts of the Act. Just an absolutely awful experience

yep, I had a shit dps barb which could face-tank insta-gib. You had to use the cash-grab store to find gear drops because apparently Blizatard decided to $$$$$$$$ instead of not be short bus.

Yeah it was gear checks put in place so you'd use the auction house to get the items you needed to progress. Did it with a barb, lots of experience playing the auction house from WoW so it was fine for me. Some people even made $$$ off the thing, likely it was some effort blizzard implemented to curb 3rd party RMT

this was exactly my experience playing a barbarian at release. Act 1 was so easy it was boring, yet the bugs right outside the town in act 2 were instakilling me.

Yep I played barb in D3 at launch and once I hit Inferno I quickly realized the game sucked. Not just a little...a lot. I have zero interest in P2W so I just quit and never looked back. Certain elite packs could just root you in place, wall you in...and you died. There was no way to outplay the situation, and no way to gear up. Diablo 1 didn't even have something so messed up..though the acid spitters in D1 could shut down your warrior along with the succys esp in Hell mode. Still, it was nothing like what I experienced in D3 where your character was rooted, walled in, with zero chance to move or do anything.

Facts, and the actual talented people who had the potential to get it right are long gone, fired during layoffs so that the positions they occupied could be reopened again later for less money, and to fill diversity quotas. Not only is a 9000 people team for a game waaaay too overcrowded, the vast majority of them are laughably incompetent, and got the job because of their skin color, genitals and sexuality, not merit or talent.

@@TheUrionak Yeah because the people who made all the terrible predatory designs that scooped the guts out of D3 to make number go up weren't all super wealthy white men.

@@TheUrionak it was wild watching a live stream where two.... different looking girls only used basic attack for like half an hour.

VV made one of the most amazing remasters I've seen in my life. D2R is so faithfully executed it tricks the brain into feeling like nothing changed.

D2R is the only good thing to come out of Blizzard in a long time, and they're not even the ones responsible for it. Imagine that.

Tell that to the band Tool.

Except for Devil May Cry.

Helldivers dev would like a word

@@Gorpos theres a difference between these 2 as i think HD2 does it in good fun vs blizz who thinks theyre above the consumers and that theyll buy any slop

You guys have phones right?

Blizzard took credit from blizzard

@@professionalhater3929 The only thing Blizzard did was stamp their name on another more talented studio.

Hell yeah!

Exactly. Blizzard never had any idea how to develop a Diablo game and it shows.

Whoa what? Really?

If Blizzard North was still making D3 I doubt they'd kill of Deckard Cain. He's like one of the most iconic characters in the series.

The only good writing involving Leah was that one comic by JaidenKaiba.

@@ryuno2097Deckard Cain dying in a cutscene to a previously unknown butterfly character. actual insanity

​@@GoodnightMoon4A terrible quality in game cutscene, not even the glorious Blizzard CG polished cutscenes.

Is there any archived version I could get to watch?

I really love it untill this day. It is truly magic... sometimes i just play it for hours casually while doing something completely else than gaming. A masterpiece by mr. Matt Uelman

They’ve never been accused of fucking up a score at least. Like bungie, they consistently deliver in that regard.

The whole thing with Matt Uelmen was a miracle it happened. They almost missed the demo he submitted, then he proceeded to show up at their doorstep and played them the theme we know live. (According to GDC Classic Game Postmortem by Dave Breivik)

Everything Matt Uelman has had a hand in at Blizzard was awesome. Still get chills from the Tristram theme. The atmosphere that the music helped create in the first two games is unmatched by any ARPG. And the switch to a symphonic score for the Lord of Destruction soundtrack was an inspired success. It really heightens the sense of it being a grand final battle to save the world. As far as I'm concerned, that's where the story of Diablo ends, with a triumph.

The cowboy version from 3???

It's not just Blizzard, these people are everywhere. It's the same thing when Marvel actors and writers mock people who have been buying the comics for decades. These current people had nothing to do with the original stories or even the original incarnation of Marvel Studios before it was bought by Disney yet they smugly deign to talk down to the people paying their bills. Throw your favorite franchise in, rinse and repeat.

​@@dycedargselderbrother5353Best thing to do is detach yourself from it and move on. There's a reason I don't follow Halo anymore

yea this sucker with the spyware alrdy in line .... like the warden on our pcs that scan just all privacy data iguess ... blizz employees need new underage victims iguess

That moment has been immortalized in our collective minds.

It was one of the moments that saw Blizz tripping down stairs and smacking their head at the bottom.

You did pretty well then. I barely killed butcher and couldn’t progress anymore.

I got that for Diablo 4 😂😂 played Alpha and Beta,and then like a week still at launch.. it's still a meh for me, I'd rather grind a bit on D3 🤷🤣

Sure i play D3 and D4 like 5mins and refund was committed 😂

I had the same experience with diablo 3. Idk why I was so uninterested in it.

also, blizzard never contacted David about D3. the disrespect they showed to the creator of literally one of the best games of all time.

​@@lightofscorpioThey don't care about anything other than the projected profit attached to any aquireable IP. They don't need a good game, just one that looks good enough to make a profit

That's why there will never be another new Half Life game.

@@mattm1823 I think they broke that with Alyx.

you know when i played diablo 3 i enjoyed it honestly it was fun to gear up and all that the story wasnt great but it was decent DIablo 4 however was complete and utter trash

Once I found out it was always-online I just completely ignored its existence

@@kinsgaming8197 I'd rather play D3 than D4. Blizzard is just a name, it's not the Blizzard we loved. When they take their EULA to American and European courts, remember to petition for a full refund of every game you own, and then request to delete the account. F**k it, it's time to move on and stop being such a stupid customer base.

It's painfully obvious that Jay Wilson didn't play arpgs going into the job. Tear out the graphics, and it's a worse game than Angband.

tbf, he's not wrong when he says that everyone goes full meta and you're "wrong" in the eyes of the community for not playing the meta, and he was only proven to be more and more right as WoW continued to exist, but the answer to that isn't to just drop the system entirely.

​@@SeruraRenge11 that is WoW. A game with 40 man raids and job applications just to do end game content. That is not diablo. Yes, a small small percentage of diablo players are hardcore and go meta every season. That is not the majority of diablo (ARPG) players. Most people just do what seems fun. MMORPG fun rot does not apply to a game you can play completely solo.

@@ZombieApocalypse09 >MMORPG fun rot does not apply to a game you can play completely solo. You have never seen Pathfinder players, Wrath of the Righteous is 100% a single-player game and the amount of people who minmax every aspect of it is insane.

​@@SeruraRenge11 Im not saying no one will minmax. Im saying nobody has to. So it doesn't become a thing like in MMORPGs. You can do a "wrong" build and have fun. Look at Last Epoch. I would wager most people just wing their builds.

Project Diablo 2 is great. I played Path of Diablo for years, too.

There is also Median XL

hell, i still play D1 lol

@@hazardeur d1 is such a pure experience. I never did play vanilla d1 all through normal - nightmare - hell back in the days but did it a couple of years ago. It was such a blast.

U can mod d2r its just single player through. Nexus has mods

Honestly you aren’t wrong, the mist interesting part of last epoch for me has been finding items… for other characters. Which at that point it’s more a rogue-lite where everytime I play a different character class I’m finding goodies to buff up my next character.

That's why I moved from Diablo to Path of Exile

Honestly? Good action RPG's exist It's called Kenshi.

Is it the clip at 31:00? Because all I hear is classical music 😭

Its crazy how many Hellgate references I heard recently. Last night, on a whim, I watched the Hellgate London intro. Only to find hours later an article about a new Hellgate game. Now your comment. Say what you will about the game, it was fuckin sweet, lots of potential in a 3rd person, sci/fantasy hack n slash looter.

Hellgate london had so much potential. I remember watching a video somewhere that the publishers ruined that game by trying to get Brevick and his team to squeeze every dime out of the player. Brevick’s only flaw is relying on a publisher like so many other OG’s of the industry.

@@robertmurillo7153 It would be the best timeline to have Blizzard completely retcon D3 and D4 entirely, rehire Brevik and as much of the old team who want to join up, give Brevik full creative control over his Diablo 3. Give him final say on all gameplay/story related decisions. Chill the fuck out on MTX, $30 skins is retarded.

​@@Gibblets411 Hellgate was terrible.

@@robertmurillo7153 it had potential to suck and did. The entire game was just a bullshit fest.

only smart thing WIlson did was to hide, how pitiful

For sure, im grateful i only picked it up well after launch

It's ironic that D3 launched with some of the same mistakes as D IV. For example, stupid itemization - having to look at hundreds of yellow items just not to miss the perfect roll is something I do not miss. It was just a stupid lottery designed to justify the auction house, and I am kinda pissed they did the same thing again, only to realize now it's a mistake. I quit D3 rather quickly and only gave it another shot well after RoS was released - and loved it ever since. Anyone can like or dislike anything, but D3 has been an excellent game for a long time now. I think I put more time in D3 than in D2 + D2R. Being 40 years of age and a D2 player of the first hour, man do I think the D2 community glorifies their game beyond all measure, not realizing how few people really still play the game. It's a brilliant game and aged very well, sure - but D3 also owes me at least a thousand hours. It's by far the more accessible game, and seasons just work objectively better there. I never could take angry nerds seriously, who shit on D3 players for running rifts all day - while at the same time farming Mephisto or Lower Kurast 1000 times in a row or watching some regular schmuck (ha!) identify a bunch of Nagelrings (not that I deny doing all of that). The one thing D2 definitely does great though, is coop play. It scales so much nicer than D3, D IV and even Last Epoch. You're not constantly a multiplicator behind or ahead of your team mates just because someone got a better weapon or set bonus. But on the other hand it also means once the game becomes easy for you, it stays that way. And D2 is really not a hard game to begin with - hell you don't even need any equipment for normal for some classes. In the end, both D2 and D3 are stupid, monotonous time sinks. And they both are great at how they do that. I just personally feel in D3 you spend just a bit more time actually fighting monsters, rather than teleporting around or opening chests. All stuff I am still not convinced D IV can do for me. But I am sure giving it another try in a year or so and see.

initial release? surely you mean the first 2.5 years of release (at least)

D3's great flaw at launch was nightmare & hell difficulty being a mindless faceroll straight into a brick wall (inferno). If the 2nd campaign run was legitimately challenging D3 would go down as another blizzard classic warts & all, instead of a game in need of a complete system overhaul...though the useless legendary items were rather absurd. They dismissed the substantial pvp crowd who would migrate to mobas. I bet they gave up on pvp when they realized that wizard was OP and they didn't feel like addressing it. Incidentally wiz/dh dominated pve as well and who could have guessed there would be such an overlap 🤔

@@LikelyForgiven not even close. The itemisation was fucked to promote use of the real money ah. It had nothing to do with difficulty being logarithmic.

I say D1 at a friend of a friends house, that friend was playing it and I got amazed. I didn't have a strong PC at that time to run D1, so I always went to the internet cafe to play it. Good times indeed. Until finally my parents got us a new pc , I finally got to play it at home, I still remember the long loading times when you go down or up in levels.

To this day I still remember that the Diablo 1 demo installer was 52.5MB. Downloading that thing took nearly a week on the old dialup. It turned out that being stuck on dialup with four digit latency meant I could dupe like no one's business. XD Create a new character, get to level 6, create a new one, play again!

@@fishnutter5219your phone bill probably went through the roof to at month 😂

The D3 release was easily the most disappointing gaming experience I have ever had. It's not even close.

lol Diablo 4 was not worse than D3 release. D3 later seasons, yeah. They really turned it around. D3 was immediately bad. D4 initial impressions were pretty good, until we realized D4 bad. Good game for a single play through but most Diablo players (myself) want D2 grind ability.

He didn't even touch on how maddening the story was! Cain being killed by a goddam demon butterfly was so bad! Also the feminine diablo that didn't make a lot of sense...

@@Norrieification The story and writing were straight-up terrible. They were never my favorite part of Diablo games, but at least in previous games the writing upheld the atmosphere. D3's writing had nothing in it that evoked a feeling beyond "I am playing a video game". Cain died and I felt basically nothing. The writing was all so disjointed I just wanted to pretend like it didn't exist. Totally destroyed the atmosphere.

Speak for yourself, I hated D4 initial impression of very limited skills and builds, very MMO-tized gameplay and mechanics... and of course $30-40 cosmetic packs from the go.@@renatemcc

At the very least, they did learn that the art style in D3 was bad for the series.

I dunno about D3 specifically, but Brevik did say they were actually working on a Diablo-based MMO as well.

It's one of those songs you hear just by watching videos on KZfaq about video games. It's iconic in the truest sense of the word.

reminds me of the star wars trilogy that evryone was bashing till the newer movies came out 😂

I like both D2 and post-RoS D3. They are completely diff games. You're right, D3 is far better than anything modern blizz can produce. It's a much better game than 4.

Believe you mean Diablo 2. Diablo 3 was just bad

incorrect

it wasn't actually as bad as depicted in this video. don't get me wrong blizz can pretty much go eat a bag of dicks but not everything they do is terrible and diablo 3 was an enjoyable game even on launch (error 37 lasted around a week if that)

Yeah he couldn’t take the critism or point to where they were listening to fans/doing research into what made the last games so enjoyable and successful… all he had was the petty insults of an entitled child.

Depends on your definition of an okay game, but take out the graphics and there wasn't much there. It's shocking they could work on an arpg for that long, and not come up with any interesting systems.

True D1 and D2 has nothing in common with D3 and D4 trash...

it would have been better if there was enough support for it for him to get multiplayer working.

It was already an older game when I was a kid but my older brothers had it in Swedish for playstation. Most hilarious thing I've played because of the "A" level voice acting. Many good memories. Even if I'm almost the same age as D2

Diablo immortal announcement was the death of the franchise and the blaring signal of Blizzards demise.

Well to be fair, d4 isn't the most grievous example of this. Just remember that despite their failing qualitty: CoD, NBA 2K and FIFA games top the charts, """""gamers""""" are real suckers for buying these every year without fail.

​@@ianfarris9396 Agreed, people can be forgiven for buying the hype at D3s release. Anyone who was hyped for D4 is a slow learner and deserves what they got. Fortunately I learned my lesson the first time and haven't and won't be buying D4.

I found Reaper of Souls brought the game up to "mediocre", rather than simply "bad". DIV is also in the "mediocre" camp.

Sayyyy what!? Lol

@MixMeister5000 I said what I said, and I meant what I said.

if you spent time actually playing good games instead of dooming about them you'd know thats not true at all lol. the amount of exceedingly high quality passion-fueled games we have these days is overwhelming. Studios get shut down by not making massive profts through microtransactions because theyre making games expecting massive profits through microtransactions, then releasing them into a market that to call saturated would be a gross understatement. The kinds of high quality games youre talking about and the kinds of games that need massive profits through microtransactions to survive are very, very, very different things with very, very, very different business models. As far as studios being shut down by parent companies for not hitting sales goals or generally not being profitable, that has always happened and always will happen. Again, many many many many incredibly innovative and high quality games out there and currently being released that dont even have microtransactions lol. Honestly the biggest studio killer is simple mismanagement of time and money. Making video games is complicated and expensive.
