Diablo 1 is my favorite.

say what? The vegetables thing was a hidden audio file easter egg with Diablo, OP's quote is from Leoric.

What the fuck is wrong with Blizzard spell? Most of the time it deals no damage!

Why the fuck are the sprites in D1 much better than D2?

There is no Blizzard spell in Diablo.
Do you mean the one from Warcraft 2? It deals continual damage and you need to aim it properly.

soul, unironically

does anyone else keep getting the same uniques? i have gotten maybe 10 ik mauls and 5 gheeds and 3 shakos.

interesting fact, this is the one place in the game where enemies spawn indefinietly. unfortunately loot is depth dependent, so you won't find anything kickass, but you can grind gold

This is something that bothered me when D2 was released. 2's definitely have more animation, but they are pixelated. 1's are nice and smooth.

I remember playing the demo as a kid and turning my computer off when The Butcher came out of his little room. The music and atmosphere of that game totally blow its sequels out of the water.

try disabling perspective in d2, they shouldn't be as warped after that

D1 has more detailed environment sprites but less detailed character sprites than D2. I think D2 also has more variance in the environment and props. Imo D2 looks better but D1 has better atmosphere.

Blizzard does the most damage when an enemy is running through it, if theyre frozen in place by one of your single target spells it won't do anything though

>>6307115
they aren't, but they both look better on CRT's or a use a CRT filter if you can

Smaller color palette means better contrast and more traditional appreciation of pixel art techniques. Both games used 3D models converted into sprites, but D1 kept things relatively simple with fewer rotations but more post-processing touch-ups to fix what was lost in conversion. D2 on the other hand was a hodgepodge of various techniques and many more angles, which means that you get metallic/vaseline artifacts and character faces with as much detail as any other part of the body.
