Cow level from rumor in D1 to reality in D2 really showed how the developers were connected to the community. I think it was nod-worthy. I thought crafting was also something that might have been worth a mention. But, overall, this was so interesting. I lived through this and had no idea of the backdrop of the stories.

Ha! The Secret Cow level being a rumor so prevalent in Diablo 1 that the dev's decided to add it into Diablo 2 is actually in my original script - it was one of the things I cut from the final render to trim the excessive anecdotes to keep the video-length down. By crafting do you mean the cube recipes from D2 or the artisans in D3? Either way, I agree that I should have added a bit more about both.

honestly, I feel bad for Jay Wilson. He worked on the original Dawn of War games which were phenomenal. I feel like he just really loved Diablo and wanted to make a true sequel but the suits forced in the RMAH and that changed the entire game and he started getting more and more depressed, leading him to that twitter fiasco and general depressive state. The actual gameplay, action, and pacing of D3 is phenomenal. but the progression systems fell kind of flat due to it all being forced to revolve around the auction house. I understand the attempt to move away from tying too much power into a character and pushing it all into the actual loot, but it just didn't work out in practice since they had nothing they were balancing around and numbers crept up into the trillions. That and Metzen's story was really fuckin weird considering how amazing his stuff was pre-WoW I played a lot of D2 as a kid and wasn't the biggest fan of it since everything took so long, but I LOVED WoW growing up (weird contradiction). But I don't really agree with all the Diablo 3 bashing, even if I'm not a very big fan of the ARPG genre. I much prefer games like dark souls and monster hunter where skill based combat is the focus instead of playing something that feels like mowing my grass like Diablo does. I think blizzard realized that the hook was getting more gear and getting more powerful, and they tweaked the droprates to push an accelerated gearing path because most players would just not play the game if it took too long to gear up, and most players who had grown up with D2 were adults with families and full-time jobs. It's easy enough for me to talk my friends into playing a D3 season for a couple weeks, but I have a feeling getting anybody to play D2 with me will be like pulling teeth because they never played it back in the day and don't realize just how long it takes to get shit done. the world is much more complicated these days and it's nearly impossible to live as a single person on minimum wage (in the states at least), and therefore most players have much less time to play than they used to. I'm just hoping D4 can find a healthy balance and add a bit more skill expression into the combat like Lost Ark has, but only time will tell. The rogue's mechanical skill floor seems to be a step in the right direction but I really don't want the game to be playable one handed because the entire game ends up being a gear check like the last 3 games.

I had put off watching this for a while simply cause I wasn't sure if I would sit through the whole thing in one go, which feels like a betrayal to the video. I was absolutely wrong. I was drawn in and kept attentive the whole way through. The pacing of the video, the visual and audial quality, the interesting content, and perhaps the fact that anything that starts with the opening chord of Tristram's music has my immediate attention kept me entertained the whole way. Fantastic video, thank you for making it. I didn't know much of this about one of those games that's been historically played by everyone in my family since I was 6 or 7, and it was a wonderful dive through those memories. Anecdotally I enjoyed your rant about Diablo 3. I remember quite enjoying it my first time playing, but it was after I had mentally accepted that thematically, or maybe spiritually, it wasn't really D2's successor, and felt like more of a Warcraft take on a Diablo game. I remember some of my friends purposely misunderstanding me saying I was "judging the game only for it's graphics" as though the art style in Diablo had never been a core part of it's dark and doom theme. Not sure why you reminded me of that, but there it is.

As a life long Blizzard gamer and playing D1 D2 D3 D2R and DI, (Currently playind D4 Beta) I think that your analysis of the franchise up to the end of the RMT AH was accurate. I do think you should have gone more into seasons in D3 because that was a really good opportunity for the devs to test things. Even looking at the most recent season, it completely upended the game and was the best season they've had in awhile. D4 really does feel like a return to form for Diablo though. It's a slower gameplay loop, the screen doesn't explode when you use ANY button, and it looks like power may still be on the items, but the power of items in the game is really pulled back. I hope D4 turns out being good because right now, the loop in the beta is - Go to place > Kill demons > Get loot > repeat. Seems familiar to me :D

Oh, man, the infamous D3 auction house. I haven't thought about that in a long time, lol. I was so glad when they dropped that bs. I will admit D3 was my first Diablo game, and I was hooked for years (I still revisit from time to time). I find the Diablo games really cathartic when I'm really pissed off. I just blast super aggressive metal, sit at my computer, and cause massive demon genocide for a few hours. D3 did improve and evolve over time, but I totally get how divisive it was at first (or I guess still is for some). I did go back and check out D2 when they made it available again years ago, as I wanted to see how the series evolved up to the current one. D2 is pretty awesome, and it was fun to see the differences. I definitely get the hardcore OG fanbase for it. This video gave me a lot of great insight into the first 2 games, which I thoroughly enjoyed. You did an amazing job. I recently pre-purchased D4, but am waiting for this second beta weekend, as I missed this last weekend. It will be interesting to see where they're going with it, and will be interesting to see how it, too, will evolved over the years. I'm happy to see them bring back skill trees. Hopefully, they'll be done well, but it's at least a step in the right direction. But yeah! Great job! This was really well done and the time and passion you put into it definitely shows and paid off. Keep up the good work!

HI HELLO D3 DEFENDER AND ADORER HERE: uh. in the spirit of “it’s 3 am and i am half asleep”, i won’t write an entire college level essay on this, but hear me out: look into the worldbuilding and story of d3. Not saying make a video on it, moreso just. Look into it yourself because there is a surprising amount there. I played d3 on release year when I was fairly young, so I don’t think I fully appreciated (or supposedly, fully hated) the combat mechanics, because my main focus for the game was the story, the world, and just how immersive it all was. As I said, I’m not saying “oh yeah you did a grave sin rewrite or remake the video” and more… Play D3 like a visual novel game with combat elements. I know it’s not how it was advertised or intended to be played, but oh man does it make an awesome difference.

I absolutely hated the dumpster fire that was vanilla D3 with the broken loot and the auction house, but this video is called "The Evolution of Diablo" and up until that point in the video I feel that was accurate but when it came to D3 it felt more like a hate thread on the official D3 forums from 2012. What a shame.

Love that back then 8000 bugs found by QA was a lot. I have seen from experience in the industry projects with 10x as much 😅

You were wrong about Diablo 3 Witch Doctor being Diablo 2 Necromancer without Bone spells. The bone spells were there just reskinned to corpses or frogs/bats.

Hey, maybe a little late, but it was really interesting hearing about Diablo 3 at launch, I came into the game much later, after the final update had been released even, and I’m glad I did. I had a ton of fun with the modern day version!

Great write up. I liked everything, except I think you were a bit unfair saying you can only use 4 skills in Diablo 3. It's 6* skills. Left and right mouse button. Also, the way you say it makes it sound like each class only has 4 skills total. Just to clarify it's 30 per character I believe. I'm sure it was just a rag on how you're locked to a maximum amount of skill slots. Which I agree sucks. But in the end, I don't think there's many Diablo 2 builds that would utilize more than 6 abilities in endgame.

After playing D4 Beta and getting recommended this video it makes me sad that we'll never see that depth in the game again but I at least hope they learned their lesson from D3

I think D3 is currently best in terms of both more modern game play and look. It just needs controller support and offline for solo play like DR2 does. And though D2R looks fantastic and has high quality cutscenes, the gameplay itself is still too antiquated with all the heavy inventory management. The real demons here are managing all those potions and scrolls and going back to town to unload gear for the tenth time in a row from the same dungeon. Overall D1 is probably best for straight up gameplay alone if you can ignore the ancient graphics. For a good balance between the two though, I'd have to go with 3. It's definitely not perfect and can still use some key improvements, but so far it's got my interest more than 2R does.
