Putting Diablo 3 on GOG (or any storefront that doesn't require me to download Battle.net and/or use some always online DRM) would be fantastic. I've never experienced this game before and a big reason is because I don't want to deal with the hassle.
So . . . I want this game on GOG as much as the next person, but how are you gonna give it an OFFLINE mode? I heard the only way to do it is to reverse engineer, but I have no idea why. Did Blizzard lose the source code to their own game or something?
Anyway, if somehow Diablo 3 can get an offline version with Reaper of Souls too, that would be amazing and the game could be preserved for the future!
For me, this game marked the ever so sad transition from the heights of Diablo II, to the live-service entities that became Diablo III and IV.
Despite being a huge fan of Diablo I and II, I couldn't bring myself to financially support the always-online single-player model that was being forced upon us. We were told that this was necessary to combat piracy, but felt like a kick in the teeth to those of us who had happily supported Blizzard in the past. The later inclusion of in-game monetization would place considerable doubt on the supposed motivations to go always-online, but it made little difference to me.
Make a single player game that's good enough to buy, treat your customers with respect (staff, too, would be nice), let it be played offline, from a storefront I like and trust, and I'll be glad to buy from Blizzard again.
Diablo II and it's expansion, Throne of Bhaal, were the last Blizzard games I ever purchased, 24 years ago (GOG re-releases notwithstanding). I'll wait for as long as it takes. In the meantime, plenty of other studios I'm happy to buy from.
Such a fun game! I used to play all the time on both PS3 and PS4, and still play on Switch. Got introduced to it back in 2014, and to this day, Demon Hunter with wolf pack armor, acid rapid fire, rapid fire bolas, and wolf companion is one of my favorite builds of any of the games. I even made a season druid in a similar vain as an homage to that build I had years ago.
will never forget the absolute disappointment i felt in middle school buying the battle chest at retail for my laptop. only for it to not work at all because i lived in a location with little to no internet. eventually i did play the console versions offline, but making a offline version for the pc itself would be like righting a grievous wrong 14 year old me felt so many moons ago
just tried a short period of a mission when I visited my friend, I really want to play the whole games, need to know the battle systems and the whole stories, and the characters
this game is absolutely awful tbh. Diablo 3 has completely removed itself from the series roots and is generally just hot garbage. Diablo 1 is the best of the aesthetic, and Diablo 2 is the best of the gameplay.
for preservation this would be nice. Be aware however, that it was made for gamepads that don't exist anymore.
Wioth your standard XBox or Ps gamepad you probably won't be able to run diagonally.
And it will react badly to analog triggers when you try to remap buttons.
Best woudl be to have a early 2000s gamepad spare.
The savegame can be imported to Lego Star Wars 2 btw, unlocking all characters and vehicles that you collected during this game.
"The Complete Saga" clearly contains the better version of this game, but it misses some unlockables and the hub.
FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival.
Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed.
The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo.
As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity.
Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.Our Pick Top Trending Science fiction Sandbox
