The Evolution of Diablo 

It's crazy that.... this part of my life that started out as just "playing a game" could become such a defining part of my experience. The fact that I played these games as a young boy and now I'm watching documentaries on them... like parts of my life becoming history lol! Same with Pokemon too! Thanks for the amazing video!! Truly wonderful narration 💖💖💖

Watching this now after the Diablo 4 beta is really interesting. Really well done, very well structured. Would love to watch this style of video for other games.

So much effort, yet so little views. What a criminally underrated content creator.

Cow level from rumor in D1 to reality in D2 really showed how the developers were connected to the community. I think it was nod-worthy. I thought crafting was also something that might have been worth a mention. But, overall, this was so interesting. I lived through this and had no idea of the backdrop of the stories. I even played 3DO at the store, but my mom said it was too expensive to get.

Loved this video, I started playing diablo 2 in third grade with my dad and it definitely is one of my favorite games of all time. You did a fantastic job putting this together and I even turned off my adblocker just to watch some ads on it for you, looking forward to the next video!

Awesome video! There aren't that many quality long form analysis videos on RU-vid, but this one was absolutely fantastic. This also made me consider playing D1, since it's the only one of the games I haven't played. Keep doing what ya doing!

I loved this video. I had thought about making a video on Diablo's history, but I think you covered pretty much everything.

This is a great video man. Thank you for taking the time to make this

This is triple A quality work. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

Very well researched video. Thanks for putting it together

Several of the still shots in the D1 chapters are actually during the development of D2. Colleagues include: 2:48 Matt Householder (standing) and Mike Huang (far right) 2:56 Kelly Johnson 5:20 Alan Ackerman and Peter Kemmer I miss them all. -S

I hope you get more exposure, because your whole performance and the video is high quality af

Wow, absolutely loved this. Will definitely subscribing and can't wait for future content.

Best video I have seen explaining these 3 games. Make more content please.

Very great video. Glad i opened it. Thanks for all the efford

Very good documentary mate, had similiar thought's on most of the subjects (D3 included). GL !

Man. Incredible work. I wish YT had pick this up. Specially now that D2R is out. Great video !

Great work, keep it up. If only all content creators put this much effort in.

Very good summary of the making of the series. Great job. you should do one on the lore/story of diablo

Thoroughly enjoyed. Took a while before it was recommended.

the delivery of story and information was top notch. Please keep making videos. As a diablo 3 player, I never got to experience what true diablo feels like. Don't get me wrong I love diablo 3 and the thought of it being dark and gritty and not overly cartoony makes me wicked excited for d2 resurrection and d4 .BTW @1:10:35 i laughed so f'ing hard. Awesome video man.

Definitely one of the best narrator voices I've heard so far, do something with that! Great retrospective, having seen much content about Diablo, this does a good job to elevate above many others.

Awesome video it’s like a love letter to the series in a documentary fashion

Commenting for the algorithm. Exceptional work - informative, thoughtful, and thorough. I appreciate your contribution.

Thanks for making this. Banger of a video!

great video. didn't lose focus for one second. cheers

Excellent documentary. Thank you!!!

Very good video! Greatly enjoyed thank you!

Beautiful, well-paced vid. I really enjoyed watching this, and something I would've loved to have you cover is the vast difference in combat in each game, like how in Diablo 2 enemies were more clustered and threatening; in Diablo 3 an entire room is full of enemies and "skill" is based on how quickly you can kill them all.

great video man, hopefully the algorithm will pick this up

By far my favorite game through the years. Love that you did one on diablo and blizzard in general!

Nice video! Great memories from Diablo! Thanks for it! Very well written and narrated! I'd just want to suggest a less disruptive transition between shots, to match the calmer style of narration.

KEEP MAKING CONTENT. This is top tier.

Loved watching this... thanks for sharing your views... You Rock!

I'd have to say this is the best video on the Diablo series I've ever seen!! Great work...

Absolutely brilliant video thank you for the superb information

Great video! Would love to see a sequel video to this that includes Immortals and Diablo 4

Man… the last part of the vid covering D3 was top tier comedy! Subbed.

Excellently done video! One of my favorite games of all time and this allowed for full nostalgia to be tapped while also teaching much of the back story.

Great video Mitchell ! Looking forward to seeing more of your stuff in the future :)

Great video. Excited for D4

I love your video! Very well done. Thank You.

Great vid Mitch

This game is perfection 22yrs later, played since 2000 and now enjoying diablo ii resurrected. So here is to playing for 20 years more! if I'm alive that long.

Absolutely fantastic video man! I loved it! I'm looking forward to Diablo 4 and what it has to add to the history of Diablo. Cheers!

Amazing video!

Excellent work

Thank you really enjoyed it!

It should be a crime that a video this good has so little views and comments. I hope to see more

You trully are a godsend my friend, this video was a delight. I wish you would make more like this, I enjoyed the sht out of it

10/10 video, deserves ALOT more views...

Hey dude, I don't really comment on videos but I saw the view count and thought how lame it is that this has less than 10,000 views. This was a super informative & well thought out video and I genuinely thank you for making it. I've only ever played Diablo 3 & now Immortal, but was considering getting Diablo 2R and your video sold me on it. I remember the auction house being controversial but I didn't play D3 until around 2018 when it was long gone, so I never understood why it had so much controversy, but now I fully understand. Thanks again!

Great video, worth the watch.

Great video! Thanks!

I was there during the hay day. No expansion pack , no mercenary, no druids or assassins. Dupes were everything and soj’s were our currency (perfect skulls were currency before soj) it was an amazing time !! WW barbs and orb sorbs were the meta. I remember when javazon, speed barbs and nova sorc came into the fray they were so good I had to build them myself… but then 1.10 ruined it all and nerfed my characters to the bone…. My 12 year old soul was crushed!

Great video, thank you!

Subbed, amazing video mate

Well done. Loved it!

Algorithm slid this into my recommended. So much work put into this. Keep up the good work boss! Looking forward to you including d4 when the time is right! 😀

Amazing video! Got one for D4 coming?

Amazing doc!

This was such a trip down memory lane. My dad gave me diablo one and two to play when I was young, I still have the diablo 2 battlechest with cds!

i truly enjoy all the videos you make! truly a labor of passion. thanks bruh :D more please

Bravo. Amazing work.

I had put off watching this for a while simply cause I wasn't sure if I would sit through the whole thing in one go, which feels like a betrayal to the video. I was absolutely wrong. I was drawn in and kept attentive the whole way through. The pacing of the video, the visual and audial quality, the interesting content, and perhaps the fact that anything that starts with the opening chord of Tristram's music has my immediate attention kept me entertained the whole way. Fantastic video, thank you for making it. I didn't know much of this about one of those games that's been historically played by everyone in my family since I was 6 or 7, and it was a wonderful dive through those memories. Anecdotally I enjoyed your rant about Diablo 3. I remember quite enjoying it my first time playing, but it was after I had mentally accepted that thematically, or maybe spiritually, it wasn't really D2's successor, and felt like more of a Warcraft take on a Diablo game. I remember some of my friends purposely misunderstanding me saying I was "judging the game only for it's graphics" as though the art style in Diablo had never been a core part of it's dark and doom theme. Not sure why you reminded me of that, but there it is.

I applaud your not pulling your punched over Blizzard's greed. This whole video was perfectly paced and will delivered by somebody who clearly understands what Diablo is/was supposed to be.

Great video! Really enjoyed it. One quibble: at 6:06 you mentioned "Brevik spent a Saturday afternoon...[making the game real time]". That's incorrect. At least, all sources I've seen (including the video snippet you included from GDC) mention Friday.

Awesome video!!! Loved the original D2, curious to hear your thoughts on D4 at some point!!

Fantastic video

WOW! You deserve so much more views!!!

Nice. Appreciated your honest opinion on D3, salt with humor is always a treat. Hammered on the first two games like crazy, but late-stage Blizzard always online stuff just sours the hell out of me. I still haven't played it, and might not ever. Torchlight and Grim Dawn scratched that specific itch well enough. Great work! I still have awful/magical memories playing goddamn Everquest on dial-up. Man, that wretched sound.

1:18:20 lololol out of comfort zone sorceress 😂 Great vid!

Early and in time to get some popcorn for this!

Great Points and excellent vid, my childhood was Diablo and finding the right loot in a well-tuned balance between common and cool," catching the big fish among the guppies' gave me such pleasure. I had a bad feeling about Diablo III because it was online and also the time period between games was insane, thank you for clearing up what the story behind the story is and I guess it is profit. Profit to the players in Diablo 1 and II and Profit to the businessman in Diablo III, not the same profit but a form of profit to be sought with one's time.

Great video.

Awesome video

An amazing video!

Nicely done

Great work

Great video

great video. I watched a whole!

Underrated channel wow

Liked and subsribed...this is amazing

Awesome video. 👍

Well made video. On D3: I played it, but apparently stopped before this auction house thing. Weird, I heard D3 became bad but never knew why. Interesting. Now that loot is so easy to get in D3 it is actually tempting to go back and see what it became ;- )

I’ve played since the shareware demo came out on Diablo. This is the best recap of Diablo (and by association, Blizzard) that I’ve ever heard. Kudos.

nice video!

Bro, this is a top quality documentary. I wanted to do somthing like this but looks like you beat me to it haha. Great job. I hope your channel takes off and we get to see more!

Amazing video. I hope you do one once Diablo 4 has been launched for a while to include D2R and D4.

thank you for breakdown. i miss the good old days of D2.

Daaaamn man, that was totally nice

Watched the whole vid ;) leaving a comment for the algorithm

Thanks Lord RU-vid to recommend me this chanel. I love your voice and the edition of your videos, hope you gona grow to the top. Gracias al señor RU-vid por recomendarme este canal. Me encanta tu voz y la edición en tus vídeos, espero que crezcas hasta la cima, te lo mereces. ;)

Another addition at some point in the D2 expansion was the introduction of class specific items. Not overly critical to the purposes of this video but I think worth a mention alongside the other item improvements of LOD.

Subbed love this video

Great video wow!

Yo - how the fuck does this channel not have more love? You have MORE than earned my sub and notifications. Cheers to all your hard work. This shit is on par with Summoning Salt!!

kinda crazy this has so few views, this is seriously well made

Bro.... the moment he changed his tone... and became real and say his points of view is a Subscribe button click for me... keep it up good sir

Very Good video 👍🏼 Fingers X:ed for D4 now
