Directly Comparing Diablo 1, Diablo 2, Diablo 3, & Diablo 4

Played Diablo 1 co-op with a buddy on PS1, the massive load times were perfect for making sandwiches, getting snacks, going to the store, taking a walk, a nap, you could get so much done!

The sense of mystery and discovery back then, when you got a game, installed it at home, had no internet or didn't know how to really use it or whatever, and just started playing, just heard a few words from your classmates.. and then explored it all on your own. It was an epic experience. This sense of wondering into the unknown is completely lost for the current generation of gamers. That is kinda sad. I recommended Elden Ring to a son of a friend of mine. When I came over few days later, I watched him play... meta build, knew every exploit, spoiled himself everything.. well, his loss. But imagine you discover a game like Elden Ring truely blind, as I did, it was absolutely mindblowing. Reminded me of the old days when I descended the cathedral, or explored Black Mesa, for the first time, not knowing much besides a few screenshots in printed gaming magazines and what my classmates told me. Magnificent.

It all started with Diablo 1 but Diablo 2 was my first true love.

I will never forget the first time I met the Butcher in Diablo 1. Games used to hit differently in childhood with so much amazement.
