I just realized Doom Eternal is Diablo in FPS mode!

(Especially if you play Barbarian)

You run around kiting enemies, you use crowd control abilities all the time, you need health(armor) drops from enemies to refill your life-bar.

The core game loop is the same

Hey and you ARE up against hordes from Hellheim, right?

i gave you several sources.

diablo 1 never had a one-life mode, it never had a hardcore mode, and it never had a permadeath mode (be it default or otherwise).

it was only added to the series in diablo 2.

Then you gotta figure out how to take back all the time I spent playing it. Goodluck.

In D1, hardcore was standard. There was no option to play softcore

jesus christ man, read the damn links.

several sources are saying it never had a hardcore mode, even one of the main developers behind the game said it was never in the game.

Maybe he played the game without saving because of lack of memory card at PS1
I think it is the only way it never had a "softcore" mode because games back there at PC were also sold with physical copies and were not updated either to fix mistakes.

I know I played Diablo 1 the "hardcore way" because of lack of memory card (btw, in my country it was normal to buy a PS without menory card because it was not made here and those selling wanted tk make as much profit possible from each part, what mean some even had to buy the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ controllers separated, lol ... ) but I am not that stupid to assume the game would not allow me to save. I remember I reached area lvl 14 once ... was greeted and died, a second time where I farmed more, maybe I have reached to lvl 15 but I dont actually remember going beyond lvl 14 without memory card, lol.
Once I got a memory card, well, I did not have to restart from ground zero every time.

Btw, I did not play D1 at PC, just at PS1, but it never was meant to be played as Hardcore mode as devs sure taken into count people would have memory card to save it.
If Dixon vividly remember it never having ... his game either had a bug or he played at PS1 without a memory card.

there was no derailment of any kind.

if diablo 1 never had hardcore then it wasn't meant to be played in hardcore which means diablo 2 and 3 aren't meant to be played in hardcore either as they have both modes available.

you can't change reality to suit your agenda.

In D1, hardcore was standard. There was no option to play softcore

Actually, it's the opposite. Softcore was standard and there was no option to play Hardcore.
Maybe you just never realized you could simply save the game

thread's about diablo.

where's the derailment?

My post was about how doom and diablo are the same if you compare day 1 D3 to Doom. Which was the best D3 has ever been. Sure softcore mode may have improved since then, but Diablo was never about softcore. Normal mode has suffered since launch.

You are absolutely high if you think D3 was at "it's best" on day 1. And if you think Hardcore mode was enjoyable or beatable in 30 hours on Inferno... just lol. I beat vanilla Inferno on non-hardcore without the RMAH, and even as a fan of the series it was in general a horrible experience.

D3 launch was a mess. Between the "error 44" issue, RMAH disaster, massive balancing problems and all sorts of other issues, the wailing and screams of anger on the internet were absolutely legendary. People were NOT happy with vanilla D3.

D3 became an amazing game with RoS released which fixed basically everything with vanilla, which was a lot.

You're also hilariously wrong about basically everything else you've said about the series.

Do you even play Diablo?

yah dood he played it in 1997 in some exclusively hardcore version of the game that no one else had. not even the devs had access to that version. he is just that special.

Diablo 3 is cartoony and all about loot grind... Oo

Doom Slayer = The Nephalem.

dude Diablo is very different from doom. I've played Diablo with my father and it didn't even play remotely close to doom
