I did not know that. Will try it out. I'm only at a 1280x1024 monitor so it's not that big a deal for me, but still!

lol yes, it sure was. i had been interested in the battlefield series since i heard of 2142, but never had the chance until bc2. now i can never leave broadband ;)

and, because of my work - i went from one dial up account to two separate broadband accounts (into my apt). i am so immersed now it's just "normal"

Actually it doesn't that I know of, it will stretch to 1920x1080 (makes me cry seeing it like that). Or you can play it in Windows mode, then maximize it retaining it's 4:3 res of 800x600, which keeps it looking decent.

I think Diablo on PS1 was my first co-op experience.

Same here, loved that game, still play D1 on my PSP. I like the PS1 UI much better, barely anything there, just the visuals to enjoy of the game, I still like how that game looks. And I will never forget meeting the Butcher for the first time. Or being the Warrior and having my cousin on his Sorc just drop a fireball right into my back so many times (he had to carry a love of scrolls to revive me, lol).

diablo on pc was my first :) and then i stayed away until basically bfbc2, as i had dial-up until then ;) luckily d2 worked on dialup :)

I'm surprised BC2 was your first and that you had dial up till then. You must have got high speed and just hit the Steam store like mad, I started buying like crazy on Steam after BC2 (BC2 was my 2nd Steam game), and I thought I had a lot for that time (like 210 or so games), and you got me beat by 100, lol.

Had some good times with you playing BC2, why did you quit? And will you be back for BF3?

exactly what i did. i made up for the years with a near addiction, but have cooled off now, i still buy a lot of new games, but nothing like the track i was on last year:)
it's in my nature to only put so many hours in. 113 for ff7 is the most i remember, and i put 80 in bc2.
I am hoping to put even more in bf3, but 80 for sure. i think it will be easier for me to play long term as i won't throw myself in like i did when i played bc2. i am used to mp now so i can ejoy it more i think :)

i never counted d2, but by far that has got to be more than ff7. i played it every day for 3 years, so i would say hundreds for that, but it's alone in that count.

wasn't the 2p co-op exclusive to console? I remember you had 2 players on screen with their own health and magic. I would play rogue and my friend would play warrior.

Yeah, I can see how you have cooled off, you got 30% more games than I got and even me when sales pop up I just scroll through them and say "got that, got that, got that" I got almost everything I want, and even somethings I don't really want simply because if it's $5 I can't resist.

As for game hours, I wish I could spread mine more. I have so many great titles I probably will never play, Bioshock 1 + 2, Just Cause 2, Metro 2033, Mafia II, Dead Space 1 + 2, and a ton of other titles that I literally have less than 2 hours of gametime into each. I just had to have them for the price they were at. But then I got titles like BC2 where I am over 500 hours in MP, WoW I been playing on and off since 05' and probably have thousands of hours into, and surprisingly I would say I probably got over 500 hours into Gran Turismo 3 (played that 12 hours a day every day for a whole summer, beat it to 100% 5 times :p). Theres a lot of games I want, but I try them then just go back to my fall back games, and sometimes I revisit ones I never had a chance to play much.

Either way hope to see you hit BF3 more, I liked when a lot of TPU was playing, and I don't mind these games like D3 or Dead Island with 4 - 8 players, but it's really cool to see a server of half TPU, where there is so many of us we are on both sides going at it.

wasn't the 2p co-op exclusive to console? I remember you had 2 players on screen with their own health and magic. I would play rogue and my friend would play warrior.

The PC version had MP as well, but console was the only one with linked screens. Good thing neither of you were Sorcs, probably didn't kill each other as often :p Right now I'm on level 14 stuck with my Warrior, I don't think it's possible to go farther, like 15 casters on screen and big open spaces so I can't force them into a small room and own them. And if I chase them they run and others hammer me, and you can't swing while being hit, such a tough damn game :/

Ah I am only assuming here since the first time I've played Diablo was on a very very slow rig my grandfather built for me and my cousins it had 16mb ram I think and a CPU somewhere around the 100hz so it was a bit of a slideshow for us :laugh:

is there a giant skeleton boss or am I misremembering.

Leoric, he was on Level 3 I believe (Butcher was on 2). And Leoric was just as badass, and he also had a shit load of skeleton archers. He will be back in D3 in a much more pumped up state (though I liked him as a massive skeleton with pauldrons, a crown of thorns, and a smacking stick).


vs


D1 had great bosses and mini-bosses like this guy



He was to be feared, especially being random. I remember walking around and all of a sudden I can't move, first time it happened I was puzzled. Anytime after that I knew it was Sludge and would swing wildly, because if I didn't they would appear and have me surrounded and beat my face in before I at least killed 1 of them. And if they surrounded my cousin on his Sorc, he would just fold like a lawn chair. I still don't remember any mini-bosses from D2, but so many in D1 I feared, Sludge is just a stand out.

Yeah, I agree sadly. And that comes from someone who has played wow for more than half a decade. I'm hoping the game sticks to a low fantasy type setting, you could see the transformation in 2 to this kind of style. 1 I just felt like I was wearing Gothic style plate mail, I liked that. Sometimes less is better and it just seems like they cluttered up Leoric, before what made his scary was his size, movement speed (you could not run from him), and the fact that he had a sound when you were near him like a feverish/mad panting sound (just intimidating). Now seems they are just tossing a bunch of gear and muscles (on a skeleton?) to make him intimidating :(

Diablo on the PS1 is rare and expensive. apparently it sold miserably and had a short production run.

In 1998, a PlayStation version of Diablo was published by Electronic Arts. The game lacked online play, but featured a two-player cooperative mode. It also featured an option to learn the story through a narrator without having to find the books in the game. This feature can be found on the main menu under the title 'history'. This version was infamous because of its needs of 10 blocks from the memory card.

Yeah, they were even rare when new. My cousin has hundreds of Nintendo games, Same with Sega and SNES, and he has some crazy old consoles (also I think over 200 PS1 games, and over 300 PS2 games), he's been collecting since the mid 90's and he knew what Diablo was when it was new, but he never even seen them new. He finally found his copy a few years later at a video rental store as they were selling it from their inventory. Even back then, I remember Gamestop offering to buy it for more than what it retailed for new. Also digi since you said you hadn't heard of it and I'm sure others haven't, huge difference in UI, I like the Ps1 copy more.

So much more space to view that old beautiful game with.

Yeah, I agree sadly. And that comes from someone who has played wow for more than half a decade. I'm hoping the game sticks to a low fantasy type setting, you could see the transformation in 2 to this kind of style. 1 I just felt like I was wearing Gothic style plate mail, I liked that. Sometimes less is better and it just seems like they cluttered up Leoric, before what made his scary was his size, movement speed (you could not run from him), and the fact that he had a sound when you were near him like a feverish/mad panting sound (just intimidating). Now seems they are just tossing a bunch of gear and muscles (on a skeleton?) to make him intimidating :(

Agreed, I much preferred the raw and sinister look the bosses had in D1 and some in D2. It definitely seems like it is more fantasy based nowadays as the horror theme it had back in the days barely seems to be present in any of the screenshots I've seen



the headgear and weapons of this boss also look like it belongs in WoW. I just hope they keep or expand on the violence and animations to compensate for this, I want blood and guts to spill when I cut this guy open!
