ka1ock: Blizzard just owns the ip. The people that created Diablo are long gone.
thanganbabp5570: D1 is the strongest of tone, and best depicts the horror of facing off against the forces of hell. it's simple, very focused, and puts the fear in you again and again. D2 is more complex and deep but if you want the strongest gothic horror vibes you cant do better than D1. As a sidenote too, being able to truly clear floors in D1 makes it feel like you are truly making a difference in a real place.
Tracerbullet328: Diablo is just an skinsuit IP at this point. I’ll stick with D2R for the next couple decades
Tyrbris: I can never forget the sound of a magic ring or amulet dropping on the ground and waving the cursor all over the place trying to find that son of a bitch. That's peak nostalgia for me.
preservinglight: the book reading narrator was amazing in D1
Honorablediscord2: D1 always my fav, d2 is the best all-around, and d3 is one of the many reasons i stopped buying blizard games. So i never gave 4 a chance because they as a company no longer interest me. No hate, i hope other people enjoy them, I just dont anymore.
jeremiaherickson9: D2
D1
D3
D4
via_negativa6183: Diablo 2 is the best. Diablo 3 is the worse but Diablo 4 is just a marginally better Diablo 3
TheMeeelting: D1 Had amazing lore telling, and had an amazingly good feel. The guy reading books gave me chills. The sound was amazing for its time.
D2 This is the gold standard of arpgs! Greatstory telling, amazing depth. This is where Ive put most of my Diablo time.
D3 Had... man. Its such a mixed bag. I fun with it, but it just wasnt sequel a lot of people wanted, and it wasnt the kind of fun i wanted after D2. Launch was like... you believe you're getting beer, you open your mouth to drink, only to find out it's an off-brand soda. I liked the difficulty at launch. Great expansion, but it didnt save the game for me. But I had TONS Of fun with it in coop mode though - even played it with my wife on our third date - but that was the only way I could enjoy it.
D4 Feels like it launched with a "hey maybe we can save it" and they're kinda still there. Hope they save it. I like the rogue gameplay.
I guess I just want D2 style loot again. The skilltrees, the runes, the items. It had the right amount of complexity to really keep people there, while remaining simple enough. But there was like, always something new to discover or think of. I think what really made it click was that it didn't have infinitely scaling items. Endgame should have an end, longevity should come from depth and how much you can vary your builds. Seasons can really make that come together.
Inevix: D1 campaign was so cool when it came out, the storytelling is so on point compared to other games that came at the same time
aliaksandrzmrocny1888: To me D1 was a Dark Souls of its time in a sense while D2 felt like an Elden Ring level game with all the improvements, scale and added depth. I still remember disappointment with D3 which is the reason I waited for D4 to launch before pulling a trigger, luckily still didn't bought it and chances are looking like zero currently. Blessed be the Resurrected team!
