Putting Diablo 3 on GOG (or any storefront that doesn't require me to download Battle.net and/or use some always online DRM) would be fantastic. I've never experienced this game before and a big reason is because I don't want to deal with the hassle.
So . . . I want this game on GOG as much as the next person, but how are you gonna give it an OFFLINE mode? I heard the only way to do it is to reverse engineer, but I have no idea why. Did Blizzard lose the source code to their own game or something?
Anyway, if somehow Diablo 3 can get an offline version with Reaper of Souls too, that would be amazing and the game could be preserved for the future!
For me, this game marked the ever so sad transition from the heights of Diablo II, to the live-service entities that became Diablo III and IV.
Despite being a huge fan of Diablo I and II, I couldn't bring myself to financially support the always-online single-player model that was being forced upon us. We were told that this was necessary to combat piracy, but felt like a kick in the teeth to those of us who had happily supported Blizzard in the past. The later inclusion of in-game monetization would place considerable doubt on the supposed motivations to go always-online, but it made little difference to me.
Make a single player game that's good enough to buy, treat your customers with respect (staff, too, would be nice), let it be played offline, from a storefront I like and trust, and I'll be glad to buy from Blizzard again.
Diablo II and it's expansion, Throne of Bhaal, were the last Blizzard games I ever purchased, 24 years ago (GOG re-releases notwithstanding). I'll wait for as long as it takes. In the meantime, plenty of other studios I'm happy to buy from.
Such a fun game! I used to play all the time on both PS3 and PS4, and still play on Switch. Got introduced to it back in 2014, and to this day, Demon Hunter with wolf pack armor, acid rapid fire, rapid fire bolas, and wolf companion is one of my favorite builds of any of the games. I even made a season druid in a similar vain as an homage to that build I had years ago.
will never forget the absolute disappointment i felt in middle school buying the battle chest at retail for my laptop. only for it to not work at all because i lived in a location with little to no internet. eventually i did play the console versions offline, but making a offline version for the pc itself would be like righting a grievous wrong 14 year old me felt so many moons ago
just tried a short period of a mission when I visited my friend, I really want to play the whole games, need to know the battle systems and the whole stories, and the characters
this game is absolutely awful tbh. Diablo 3 has completely removed itself from the series roots and is generally just hot garbage. Diablo 1 is the best of the aesthetic, and Diablo 2 is the best of the gameplay.
for preservation this would be nice. Be aware however, that it was made for gamepads that don't exist anymore.
Wioth your standard XBox or Ps gamepad you probably won't be able to run diagonally.
And it will react badly to analog triggers when you try to remap buttons.
Best woudl be to have a early 2000s gamepad spare.
The savegame can be imported to Lego Star Wars 2 btw, unlocking all characters and vehicles that you collected during this game.
"The Complete Saga" clearly contains the better version of this game, but it misses some unlockables and the hub.
Silent Hill: HomecomingSilent Hill: Homecoming is the sixth installment in the Silent Hill survival horror series.

Silent Hill: Shattered MemoriesSilent Hill: Shattered Memories is the seventh installment in the Silent Hill survival horror series, and a stand-alone reimagining of the original Silent Hill video game. Once again, you will cast Harry Mason searching across the haunted town for his missing daughter Cheryl. Through his exploration, Harry will come across objects and recordings that tell some of the history of Silent Hill. New to the series are a depiction of Silent Hill's demonic alter-dimension as a world of ice, and the removal of weapons from the game: when the monsters come out, Harry must literally run for his life. Between scenes, the game will cut to a psychiatrist's office, who asks personal questions about Harry and his past experiences. The game will then alter itself based on the player's responses, changing characters and lines of dialog to something intended to be more personally uncomfortable.Horror Survival
Grandia IIGrandia 2 is a 3D RPG, viewed from a top-down perspective for most of the game and a 3rd person view during battle. Controlling Ryudo, the player will explore various locations, locating townspeople and objects within an area to interact with. Towns and dungeons are displayed in the same manner, though dungeons tend to be mazes filled with monsters and towns tend to be friendly areas filled instead with conversation and shops. Any monsters present in these areas will be shown walking around. Walking over to and touching the monster in any way will activate a battle. If the monster notices the player approaching it is considered a normal battle, if Ryudo is able to approach undetected the player's party will gain the initiative in battle, if any party member besides Ryudo is approached by the enemy then the party loses initiative.Fantasy
