    Учитывая что поиграть нормально так и не получилось ввиду того что сервера постоянно лежат и зайти в игру не получается то оценка соответственно 1.(и то чисто из за ностальгии)

    This is a beautiful remaster marred by the requirement to use battlenet to play with friends. It wouldn't be as bad if they could keep their servers up, but lag is still an issue even when its running.

    It's sad because it really is amazing how good it looks and plays. Being able to use a controller to play it completely changes the games feel. I've logged hundreds of hours in the original, but playing it with a controller makes it feel like a whole new game.

    Even with the lack of an open multiplayer support, this is still a game to think about. I wouldn't spend $40 on it though.    … Expand

    Do you enjoy constant game crashes, server crashes, long load times even though on ssd and artificial game creation time limits THEN LOOK NO MORE. This garbage game has all this and more horrible things!

    In all honesty, I love diablo 2 but this remake is a goddamn mess, stay away.

The few patches in place being extremely late, void of basic playtesting QA with things like un-mutable audio and broken maps. Stability problems caused by simply doing anything in the game. Assuming you can even get into the game. Lies about mod support, removed tcp/IP support for when you want to play with a friend during the frequent bouts of server stability.

    Strong avoid unless you're just desperate for your diablo II crack. Probably best played when private servers start to take over the place with a new client.    … Expand

    I will never buy a Blizzard game ever again. I’m walking away for good. Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me. Well, it seems that they fooled me more than twice now and I can’t take it anymore.

    I’ve been patient, I’ve been a super fan since November 1994, I’ve given them years of chances, but Diablo 2 Resurrected was the last straw, they fooled us like never before this time.

    I’ve personally contacted as many people as possible to inform them that I am walking away from orchestrating Blizzard’s super fan communities and have already closed our British-Columbia, Ontario and Quebec chapter of the Blizzard super fan community, I have brought down all our Blizzard websites, we have closed all our pages and permanently delisted all our pages off of Google.

    Never before have I been so insulted, Blizzard in 2021 is a disaster. I hope Blizzard understands the reason for sending out the 340 000 emails that we have sent out to our subscribers informing them of our councils vote regarding the closure of all our chapters.

    -The game does not launch. The game doesn’t work.
    -I bought a $3500 computer specifically for this game, my computer is too advanced to run the game.
    -The servers delete all your characters. The servers cannot save your games.
    -An extreme level of bugs, the rubber banding bug is out of control (the game rewinds 3 seconds every 9 seconds)

    Rubber banding refers to the abrupt bounce back players see when their characters become desynched from the server. A player directs their character to another location, before the character abruptly bounces back to their starting point. This is a very frustrating and potential fatal problem, as players think they are escaping danger, only to suddenly pop right back into it.

    Fun factor rating:
    0/10 (This game will destroy my mental health and is a total disaster).

    This game should be renamed to: Diablo 2 Refunded. It has perhaps the worst server issues ever seen in the gaming industry.    … Expand

    Diablo 2: DISCONNECTED

    This is as attempt by recent college graduates as part of a school project to revive a game that was still alive because it was made by talented developers.

    Well. They killed it. Now it's truly dead.


    Seems like these new Blizz kiddo technical analysts want to destroy D2 so there is nothing to compare to when D4 is a complete disaster.

Things like baal runs are hard to find because it wont load the info on how long the games been active sometimes for a minute if at all. So just hop into one and hope it isnt an hour old. Honestly if you want a D2 experience that's fun now a days it's best to just go to Project Diablo 2, PlugY, SlashDiablo with actual qualify of life updates/upgrades and good communities.… Expand

    they didn't provide proper server infrastructure.
    I am unable to play 4 days in a row already.
    I cannot get a refund, cause blizzard just ignores my refund requests.

    I cannot rate gameplay / graphics / mechanics, because i am just unable to play.

    i definitely do not recommend buying this, this is just a scam.

For a game that relies on rare drops as it's main source of replayability, this is unacceptable. There appears to be no end in sight as Blizzard is content to keep player's money and not give them a viable long term product. 3/10, it's a sad state of affairs how far Blizzard has fallen.… Expand

    This is 2021, server tech should not be at 2004 level.
    Blizzard have thrown out a game on a really bad server. Its like they brought out the old WoW servers from 2004 to host Diabloe 2. The sever crashes every day and they keep rolling back so you lose your items and gametime.
    Do not buy until they fixe their servers.

    As someone who's coming back to D2, I was flabberghasted at the vast amount of issues the game itself had upon launch and the weeks thereafter (e.g. constant ctds, esp. for folks on Nvidia cards).

    Now that those issues have been eradicated so some extent, the EU servers are all the time down! This is now day four in a row where the game is basically unplayable. "Basically" as in "there are time windows where you CAN play, but you have no idea whether the next server outage will or will not reset your entire progress (incl loss of any items you might have found in the meantime)".

    The fact that, already for days, there is no whatsoever announcement from Activision Blizzard adds only to users' frustration.

    If you are a mere offline player and are happy to look over the clunkiness that a 20y old pc game brings with it (and which - for better or worse - has not been removed from the game), then you might give this a decent rating. If it DID work, I might even give it a 7. But for most folks, online playing is where it's at - and since that doesn't work due to permanent server outage, that's unfortunately a 0 from me. Better invest your 40 € into RDR2 or The Witcher 3.    … Expand

    Ok, the game itself is fine. The graphics, the music, everything is nice. There are even such small details as characters turning their heads in the direction of a random bat flying under the roof of a cave. They didn't touch anything gameplay-wise.

They didn't touch anything gameplay-wise. It's the same game we love with all its flaws. I realize this is a remaster, not a remake, I didn't expect any other changes or improvements. I just wanted to play it again with my friends.

    But (of course, there's a 'but') the technical state of the game is just below the line. It crashes a lot. Like, a lot. Sometimes several times in an hour. And it's not my hardware. I use Ryzen 7 3800X, RTX 3070, and 32 GB of RAM. It's the only application/game on my PC that has these problems. I can play any other game for hours, but not D2R. Just check the official forums. A lot of people have the same problem.

    Then there are the battle.net servers. They go down all the time. There are constant rollbacks tied to these events. It's been three weeks since the release, and instead of improving, the situation actually became worse. Now it's the fourth day in a row where servers go down for hours with a rollback hitting everyone afterward. People lose progress, time, and patience. This is accompanied by absolutely zero communication from their Support. They just copy-paste the same "we are investigating, apologies for any inconvenience" tweets over and over again leaving users in the dark. No details are given whatsoever. Is it safe to play, or will I lose gear again? Exactly what is happening? Why do you face the same problem over and over again? Blizzard refuses refunds (again, check the official forums, a lot of people want a refund). People are left with a sore taste of disappointment, unable to do anything about it.

    Shame, they perfectly recreated the atmosphere of the original game but made it unplayable through game crashes, rollbacks and server downtime. D2jsp forums drove the nail in the coffin by making it 100% pay to win on Battle.crap which conveniently is your online option for multiplayer gameplay as TCP/IP multiplayer has been removed.

    Diablo II: Resurrected is far from perfect. The changes in character design are likely to rile up returning players, and the archaic gameplay probably won’t agree with younger generations weaned on more streamlined, sophisticated experiences. While I appreciate that this legendary title is now available in an improved format, it’s not a caveat-free recommend.

    Diablo II returns with refreshed graphics and unaltered gameplay (apart from some small improvements). It’s as fun as I remembered, so I quickly felt at home and gave in to nostalgia. However, it’s hard not to notice that beneath revamped visuals lies a 21 years old design. [12/2021, p.32]
