On battle.net the Diablo Prime Evil Collection is on sale for $20. I don’t really want to spend $70 on Diablo IV so I am considering this instead. Are the older games still worth playing?
I’ve played D1 and D2 in the early days and loved them. I am not sure they’d hold up today. I looked at D2R and while it hits the nostalgia part hard, I just could not get excited to actually play it. If you are really interested to know what it was like and it would mean something to you to play it, I’d say it could be worth it. My best Diablo experiences were unquestionably with D2.
I got into D3 very late and while I enjoyed my time with it, it didn’t hook me. I feel like I got my money’s worth for the time I spent with it but it didn’t hold up for me very well.
From my point of view, I think picking up D4 would be money better spent for what it is already and will likely become over time. D4 is pretty decent and while I have to admit I am a little bored with it it does seem to have a lot of potential. I did feel a bit bad about giving the company my money but I could not resist.
D2 has offline mode…extra good for hardcore characters
Quite frankly I prefer D3. The graphics aren’t as nice as D4 but it feels more polished. It is more streamlined and it’s not open world but that’s what Diablo is. It’s a dungeon crawler.
The classes are better balanced and the builds are fun and unique.
It may be harder to find groups right now but I mostly played solo and had a blast.
It’s sad how, at present, D4 is a step back from D3 in so many ways.
It has the possibility of getting to where D3 ended up and could be even better.
But for now, it’s still kinda disappointing.
Absolutely!! Both SO good. I like II more than III personally.
I did a ladder season playthrough of D3+expansion last year and had a blast, so i’d say it’s worth it.
Of the two, I would go with D3. I loved D2 when it came out and tried going back with D2 Resurrected, but it wasn’t the same. D3 is a fun game, but after playing D4 in beta and release, I don’t see me ever going back. POE 2 maybe.
Thanks for the heads up. Diablo 2, and Diablo 3 with all of the expansions seems like a decent deal… Somehow I still haven’t played D2 or D3…
Lol. I overextended myself a bit and died after a few hours of D2.
Wasn’t expecting to lose all of my equipment. Woof. Sometimes I forget how unforgiving old games were.
Just go back and grab it.
Diablo 2 is amazing. The remaster is fantastic, it does not feel like a 20 year old game.

I’d never played Diablo 2 but always heard great things about it. I think the dated graphics held me back. I played 3 and just played 4 and felt pretty meh about both. I bought D2R a week ago and can’t put it down. Really enjoying it and am amazed that Blizzard didn’t screw the remaster up.
Both of the games are fun. However, I’d suggest not giving money to Blizzard. They are not an ethical company. Maybe try out Grim Dawn instead.
My vote is for D2, D3 to me just wasn’t a standout Diablo game at all. That being said, I was a massive D2 junkie all through highschool so my opinion is very biased here. D2 resurrected gives you a nice polished version of one of the most memorable rpg from that decade. The has aged incredibly well.
Have you checked out Path of Exile? It’s a great, free game that you can go incredibly far with for free. I really love that game for it’s graphics, gameplay, and character building mechanics.
Yep, especially after the remaster of Diablo 2.
