Description
I was reading the enigmas discussion and remembered, hey, running straight up wasn’t a thing in D1 (but Teleport was), and i still enjoyed that game. I also wish light radius was a stat you’d actually worry about.
So i thought to myself “Self: just play the game like that!”
I started a new character, set my run/walk to walk only, set the brightness down to the lowest setting, both in the game and on my TV screen, i set it to players 8 too (recommend this for offline play), started from scratch, SSF style, barb character, and started to play.
Initially i was like “phft… it’s still super bright” forgetting there’s day/night cycles i went out into the blood more and ventured into The Den of Evil…
Damn it’s dark … i also turned off all the lights in the room before i started… which made the sound way more important somehow?!
It’s actually fun!
The atmosphere is really good, kicking it up to P8 makes it much more dangerous, and the darkness does make it more fun. After a while you forget you’re walking and that just becomes the new normal. Because you’re slowing down you can appreciate the atmosphere of the sounds design again. It’s easy to forget this game is really fun at the start, and it’s not only the end-game when you become nigh-godlike that it can be enjoyed.
After i cleared the Den i went back to the blood Moore and was like “WTF? It’s dark out here too?!” Yea you can really tell day from night.
If you want i make it even more like D1 just turn the legacy graphics on, they’re still surprisingly enjoyable. I’mma play like this for a while.
Anyways it was a nice break from the hyper efficient killing of high end characters in the late game. If you want a break give it a try, I’ll bet you’ll like it!
