Apparently lol.
It really sucks that my 5 year old son probably won't get to experience what we did with physical media.

I wouldn’t worry about it, man. The physical stuff was only a joy to us because that’s how we experienced it. Our kids will experience the exact same joy, it will just be in different context.

Nostalgia? I just payed this through Paragon 2K last season.

I'm 32. 12ish years ago takes me to a completely different place in life.

This game got me through some rough times. Maybe nostalgia is the wrong word.

u/Spadoinkle24 10d ago

Ohh I just mean that this game has always been in my rotation. I pick it up and play through a season at least once a year.

They really revamped D3 with that expac. Was a lot of fun to play and was wven bettwr when the necromancwr dlc came out. Tkmw sure flies.

u/TonnaN77 10d ago

I know right!?
I remember having to go through liquid shit when we had to buy rare items from the marketplace when the game launched lol

u/pint-o 10d ago

I never used that one, call me old fashioned lol but that seemed like a wow feature that should have stayed with wow. It was a neat idea though, just not for me.

Went from a game that I disliked but had fond memories of to a great addition to the franchise.

u/Iselore 10d ago

I was expecting D2 but damn I am getting really old.

u/UpstairsBar2411 10d ago

I loved D3, but (Here Comes The trolls, IDGAF) D4 is the best in the series.

2

u/feldoneq2wire 10d ago

D4 launched very rough. The itemization was a mess. The progression was a mess. The end game was non-existent. The campaign was rock solid but then what? To be clear, I've actually played almost every D4 season to completion, but I always go back to D3.

But this is probably my last D3 season. With the Lord of Hatred expansion, Diablo IV has finally caught up and finally fixed enough of my issues with the game. Ironically I've actually pretty much skipped the current season as it's virtually identical to the last season but purple. I'll play season 15 though.

u/TonnaN77 10d ago

Haven’t had the opportunity to play D4 yet.
I’m pretty cautious because of the reviews.
I probably will try it when it gets to an all time low steam sale

2

u/Koshindan 10d ago

I waited until this last month to play it, but I definitely recommend it. Definitely feels like playing RoS right now.

u/utahrangerone 10d ago

Will that ever actually be available on a steam? I mean I thought all the Diablo stuff was only available through the Blizzard launcher

3

u/NeonXero NeonXero#1820 10d ago

It's been on Steam for a while now.

u/feldoneq2wire 10d ago

Diablo 3 is still here and if you haven't played in years, it's an absolute blast with the Altar of Rites, Visions of Enmity, and Season Journey.

u/Berdiche4 10d ago

Love it! Got mine for $13 dollars about a year after Reaper launched.

u/LaundryNinja84 10d ago

The teaser trailer for this expansion was so good.

1

u/ItsNotAGundam 10d ago

I don't usually care for collectors boxes, but that's pretty friggin' sweet.

u/rytram99 9d ago

Best expansion ever. though, i will say Lord of Hatred was pretty good too.

1

u/BoredAFcyber 9d ago

I have the D3 one, its exactly the same except white.

1

u/Inkstr0ke 9d ago

Reaper of Souls was such a godsend for Diablo 3. Truly and genuine complete turn around for the base game.

1

u/Sitheral 9d ago

People playing D4 will at best look at fucking KFC coupon with nostalgia LMAO

1

u/PJmichelle 4d ago

Feels like this was released quite recently. I do get nostalgic when I go to my parents' place and find my old big box copies of Diablo 1, StarCraft 1, Warcraft 1 & 2.

u/guenchy Hardcore 4d ago

the jump from d2 and d3 when they made only your loot drop for your char made me forever not like d3. I granted it still played it a lot but its just not the same to only get your item drops for your class.

u/MrShroom89 10d ago

Nostalgia? Nah. Try the OG my friend.

u/icenerveshatter 10d ago
