![]() They also covered up the nude statues, removed the concubines, and covered up Blood Raven and Andariel to be less provocative. I don’t have a problem with covering up her behind, but why’d they have to make her look more manly? I thought her character model was mostly fine originally, the same as I did for every other character as well. The Amazon now features a more masculine jawline and her gear now covers her ass instead of strutting around in a thong. One minor issue I have with Diablo II: Resurrected is the censorship changes that took place in order to make it more marketable in China. Hard to believe those fuzzy pixelated messes were once the pinnacle of impressive modeling. If you really want to see a mind trick, toggle the graphics back to classic mode and see just how much of an improvement the remastered graphics actually are. In fact, at a quick glance, you’ll barely even realize that this game is 20 years old. All of the cutscenes were beautifully reanimated to look more modern. Upon loading up Diablo II: Resurrected, you’ll notice the old familiar Blizzard Entertainment loading screen, complete with the blue light breaking its way out of the word. After years of clamoring for an update, Diablo II now re-appears in its final form: Remastered for a whole new generation. This change turned many fans off and they just kept playing Diablo II: Lord of Destruction on the servers even 20 years later. A few years later came Diablo III, which is a similar style dungeon crawler, but more like World of Warcraft than its predecessor ever was with the pre-determined skills earned automatically as you leveled up. Additionally, a new act to conquer a new demon overlord called Baal, more powerful than Diablo himself was added to the game. Traveling through the rainy plains, the dank jails, the rigid sands of the desert, through that horrible awful swamp in Act III, and finally getting face to face with Diablo in Hell at the climax of Act IV is an adventure that was quite like no other back in 2000.Ībout a year later, Diablo II received a bit of a facelift and acquired the expansion Lord of Destruction which added the Assassin and Druid classes. While Diablo had you diving down into a seemingly never-ending dungeon, Diablo II having new open-world over lands was really the biggest game-changer to Blizzard’s beloved dungeon crawler. Because of this, I knew I had to play Diablo II: Resurrected. While he had also previously introduced me to click-to-move PC games such as Baldur’s Gate, Icewind Dale, and the original Diablo itself, none of them grabbed my interest the way Diablo II did. Prior to this, I was only ever interested in console RPG games with mostly turn-based combat. ![]() ![]() Wistfully, I watched Baron Von Cartman whirlwind his way through hordes of enemy demons, and I felt myself wanting to do exactly that same thing for myself since it looked like so much fun. I’d love to tell people how I was an avid isometric RPG fanboy who’d been playing them for years prior to this, but it wasn’t until one day when EverQuest’s servers were down for maintenance that a friend of mine turned me onto Diablo II (Later Diablo II: Resurrected). When I wasn’t smashing skeletons and scorpions in Kunark’s Field of Bone, I was digging my way through the maggot caves looking for the Staff of Kings, one of the two pieces of the Horadric staff. ![]() Back in the days of the new millennium, I spent a lot of time divided between two games: EverQuest, and Diablo II. ![]()
