00:00:16.560a new metroid get ready to ignore all of

00:00:19.199that nonsense and fall back into your

00:00:21.199old habits by sinking hundreds of hours

00:00:23.359into a game you've already been playing

00:00:24.640for decades just because it got a minor

00:00:26.640facelift and you fear change

00:00:28.720diablo 2 resurrected

00:00:32.399descend into the depths of hell once

00:00:34.480more as you rediscover the diablo that

00:00:37.040gamers were more excited for than either

00:00:38.960of the actual new ones coming out did

00:00:41.200you guys not have phones yeah with a

00:00:42.960remastering of the art and graphics that

00:00:45.120leaves the gameplay basically untouched

00:00:47.280because blizzard didn't want to risk the

00:00:48.719furious anger of one billion nerds

00:00:52.320who just decided to get mad anyway

00:00:53.920because they didn't like the paladin's

00:00:55.039face or whatever

00:00:56.320in a re-done diablo 2 that looks just

00:00:58.879like you remember it until you actually

00:01:00.879click over to the old art style and

00:01:02.640realize how terrible it looks as you age

00:01:04.879a thousand years instantly

00:01:08.730[Music]

00:01:09.840you

00:01:10.840chose one

00:01:13.840experience the quality of life changes

00:01:16.080added to the diablo 2 formula

00:01:18.479from the expanded stash base that allows

00:01:20.560you to keep stuff without making stash

00:01:22.240alts to the shared tabs that let you

00:01:24.400pass items between characters without an

00:01:26.320elaborate workaround not that that will

00:01:28.320stop you from pointing to town every

00:01:29.840time your inventory is full which is

00:01:31.680like every three minutes then discover

00:01:33.920the strange feeling of relief that the

00:01:35.840game actually lets you pick up gold when

00:01:37.520you run over it instead of grabbing a

00:01:39.520coin by coin like you're picking pennies

00:01:41.200out of a fountain and gratitude when you

00:01:43.360realize you can actually respect your

00:01:44.880character that changes to horror when

00:01:47.040you realize you can only do it once per

00:01:48.880play through

00:01:50.000and frustration when you find out how

00:01:51.600your friends got it on console and

00:01:53.040there's no cross play

00:01:54.560although they'll helpfully let you keep

00:01:55.840your characters if you pay full price

00:01:57.360for the game again on a different

00:01:58.399platform in a remake that sands off most

00:02:01.040of the rough edges you forgot about that

00:02:03.040made diablo 2 slightly less annoying to

00:02:05.040play but still has that janky spiky

00:02:07.439exterior that's nostalgically a pain in

00:02:09.039the rectum remember you paid for this

00:02:10.879experience twice and that says a lot

00:02:13.040about you

00:02:14.080look no king shaming here

00:02:16.480head into the blood more for the

00:02:18.080umpteenth time as you choose from the

00:02:20.480many classic classes diablo 2 has to

00:02:22.640offer

00:02:23.599or just play the exact same thing you

00:02:25.120did the last time you played this game

00:02:26.959and create elaborate builds from the

00:02:28.800triple skill trees then realize that the

00:02:31.280interface for multiple skills is still

00:02:32.879terrible and make a dude that just right

00:02:35.120clicks on things a lot because you're a

00:02:36.560tired old person now

00:02:38.400as you plow through the game until your

00:02:40.080fun skeleton necromancer build becomes

00:02:42.000unsustainably awful

00:02:43.840forcing you to go online to copy someone

00:02:45.840else's who actually understands the game

00:02:47.599mechanics or stubbornly forget all that

00:02:50.239and just get used to getting ganked by a

00:02:51.760mob because you zoned out by putting

00:02:53.519yourself into a click-induced coma as

00:02:55.840you walk back to your body as bears the

00:02:57.680day you clicked install

00:02:59.200and you slowly pare down the mobs

00:03:00.959camping your body in the ultimate walk

00:03:03.280of shame that you forgot about in the

00:03:04.959new era of autosave that makes it feel

00:03:07.280like walking back to get your wallet

00:03:08.560after a drunken one-night stand add a

00:03:10.720dave and busters what do you mean give

00:03:13.040up do you know his skull put in my iron

00:03:15.59990

00:03:16.560like two

00:03:18.879take your furious clicking skills online

00:03:21.599and play diablo 2 as it's meant to be

00:03:23.680played with some random guy named goblin

00:03:26.080420 who runs at full speed towards the

00:03:28.640next quest objective at all times and

00:03:31.120then dies instantly to the first elite

00:03:32.879they actually fight who constantly brags

00:03:34.959about his diablo 2 achievements because

00:03:36.560it's more fun than his actual life as a

00:03:38.159bank teller or stay unplugged and keep

00:03:40.959the killing to yourself then realize you

00:03:43.760have to clear stuff into the next

00:03:44.879waypoint before quitting or lose your

00:03:46.959progress forcing yourself to make the

00:03:49.040hard decision between setting yourself

00:03:50.879back a couple of zones and taking your

00:03:52.879wife to the hospital or whatever long

00:03:54.799enough honey haven't made it to the

00:03:55.840black marsh yet that baby will be fine

00:03:59.200so slip on those stones of jordan and

00:04:01.360get ready to click your fingers off with

00:04:03.920a game you absolutely already know if

00:04:06.000you want to play or not because you've

00:04:07.920definitely already played it and making

00:04:10.319it look vaguely contemporary isn't going

00:04:12.239to change the basic brain chemistry that

00:04:14.480either makes the happy juice drop when

00:04:16.079you win the loot roulette or let you
