Diablo 2 VS Diablo 2 Resurrected BREAKDOWN

hankczinaski915: Graphically it's arguably the best remaster I've seen.
UltimateEnd0: Vicarious Visions was on a roll improving D2R but dropped the ball when they didn't add loot filters, more character slots, & stackables
WandererFromYs: Along the same lines as the cow kings, Getting the Halls of Pain WP doesn't close Pindleskins Portal.
Roache93: I appreciate you doing these kinds of videos, Llama! Keep the fan base alive
kevinoneil5120: Visually, D2R is everything I could have asked for in a remaster of this game. I only wish Vicarious Visions had been kept together to continue adding improvements over time (new runewords/events, small item/balance changes, improvements to a currently broken chat/lobby, mod support, etc)
_ryju_: One thing seals the deal for me and renders everything else pointless: offline play!
ziljin: My 2 cents on controllers. It helps with my carpal tunnel to have every button within finger reach. Easy to cast different spells without having to switch between hot keys. And spread between left and right hand. Mouse and keyboard my mouse hand gets so tired. But yea the menus suck. Also some skills like leap attack works better with mouse. Now I just swap between both at the fly.
chrisgray7737: I’d rather have 3 personal stash tabs and one shared. This way could gain much more space for each character created
Barn80: Do you think we’ll ever get proper QoL stuff for D2r? Imagine having stackable items and bigger stash tabs. Would be so good
darkmaster3411: Some slight addendums (I know MrLlama was going for a more general/broad overview):

Hit recovery "immune buffer" also applies to PvM, it's a 10 frame buffer where you can't be put into hit recovery again until it expires.

"Forbidden" staffmods can no longer spawn in D2R (Holy Shield on scepters, Berserk on barb helms, etc.) because it now does an infinite amount of rolls until it selects a valid skill instead of the "7 failed rolls then it picks it anyways" thing it did in D2LoD.
danieljaggers2774: Mana burn bug gone too:) es is now no longer a death wish on a sorc in hc.
infusedknowledge6236: Can we all just sit down for a second and admire what Vicarious Visions did to this game... One of the best remasters out there!
mauriceb2037: Nice overall, you only forgot to mention 1 bug fix, that is the removal of physical damage bug on nilathak vipers poisonous cloud. This used to be a killer bug in LoD.
burakucak: What you actually played back then vs. How you remember it.
joseph_thacker: this is the best valuable d2 video in a LONG time. these changes are listed ANYWHERE. thank you so much. also, i CANT WAIT for the character video. thank you llama!
TalicZealot: Unbending Will can come in handy in a PB if you're waiting to find either your Lo, your 5OS PB, or a good eth for an Oath. It sort of replaced the Oath for me as a pre-Grief weapon, since finding a good Oath base is almost harder than building a Grief.
yagami999913: Haven't played the game when it first released in 2000. Now i'm more than 300 hours in on PS5. Finished Hell difficulty with Hydra/Orb and reached act 5 NM with Zealdin and just today with Javazon.

Can't wait to farm Hell TZs with Javazon.
Roge9: game is just straight up an improvement overall on the pve side.
BlackMercy-it1jp: What I love about D2R is:
-Removal of global cast rate, fixed attack speed & next hit delay damage
- Mosaic sin (aka the most powerful build in D2R and I hope they never remove her from D2R if anything the babarian, zon & druid need a mosaic like runeword)
- Zoo druid & FoHdin are actually good now
- Cow level changes & gamble refresh button
- Decent mercenaries especially the dual wield barbs & changes to RWs like Insight in bows
- TZs & sunder charms

VV really did a good job remastering this but with that being Project Diablo 2 & Median xl are still superior to D2R and all its mods.
stefanlynch3210: Controller has its ups and downs. But overall it's really good
pk_lab: Chapters in a llama video?
smalps-gaming: D2r is an amazing upgrade! I like that you can also upgrade set items. New change as well. GG
brianp6682: I love d2 more than life itself. I think about builds and strategies even when not playing
lucasmarquesdecamargos4298: Great video. I would add the fixing of Mana Burn and Fire Enchant beetle bugs
rgracon: I’m very disappointed that the new rune words have not made it to Non ladder yet. I get being ladder specific for a period of time, but it’s time for hustle and the helm words from 2.6 to make it to online non-ladder
NathanBerg-x4p: Just to mention - Andariel was naked before and now is dressed :) which to me is a minus.
