(A quick note before I'm flamed: I don't mean Diablo 2's gameplay is revolutionary. The tagline of Slashdot, as I'm sure you know, is "News for Nerds, Stuff that Matters." Well, I'd say the release of what is supposed to be the largest and most significant patch to a game that, like it or not, is one of the largest gaming landmarks ever, qualifies (for me) for both of those things. In the same way that a desire to play Super Smash Bros can only be quenched by playing Super Smash Bros, Diablo 2 is a sweet, sweet, addictive crack to those who partake in it. Neverwinter Nights was aimed at creating a slightly different experience, and while I'm told the multiplayer games can be amazingly fun, still isn't the same thing. It was pretty, but there was something lacking. But there hasn't been a game since Diablo 2 that satisfies the unique hunger D2 players develope. And a lot of them will be have multiplayer aspects, either online or by playing with multiple people on the same TV. I wouldn't nescesarily say Diablo 2 is "better" than any or all of them. Battlefield 1942, Super Smash Bros, Grand Theft Auto.sure, you can build a long list of amazing games. And while there are undoubtedly thousands of newer games, I'd challenge you to list thousands of better ones that are in the same genre. "There are thousands of better and newer games than Diablo II." Part of the reason this IS a news story is that Diablo 2 is so old, but still updated and played.
Diablo ii patch 1.10 free#
For a developer to acknowledge that their TWO YEAR OLD game is still one of the best multiplayer games around, to continue to support it through a FREE online system (ignoring their treatment of attempts to port to Linux*, which I would agree Blizzard handled poorly), and STILL patching the damn game? How many games don't get a single patch? For Blizzard delevopers to still be updating and fine-tuning a game this long after its release, and for people to STILL enjoy playing it is fucking incredible.Īnd I call Bullshit. And I'd be more than happy to read it.īut Diablo 2 is a phenominon. If you don't like the patch, you're more than welcome to voice your opinion here. I'm really looking forward to what people have to say about the mod, if anyone discovers the new world-event, etc, etc. The reason it's not truly "advertising" is because we now get to talk about it here. The Lord of the Rings pinball machine? Adverstising.

A large portion of is some form of "advertising." Posting about the latest multiplayer mod for Grand Theft Auto is advertising.
