Mass effect trilogy. Ans you can criticize me for liking the third one, i know it has some foibles but the while series is wonderful and i cherish it always.
Diablo 3 is/was literally a joke in comparison, 0 climate, atmosphere, immersion. The only upgrade from D2 is better combat (to be expected after 10+ years) and an actual endgame compared to archaic D2's boss runs mechanic. Everything else is better in D2 and i hope D4 will have as few D3 elements as possible, including music. I wish D4's soundtrack would be really similar to D2 : dark, intense and perfectly fitting.
Well, at this point no one really expects Blizzard to put out anything remotely as creative and genuine as what they did back in the day. They're really not the same Blizzard anymore, literally. Very different people working there now, the company doesn't have a single ounce of talent left lol. They're just seeing how long they can milk profits from regurgitated WoW shit, as they continue to sink lower and lower.
I wish there was a game that could capture me like Diablo did so long ago. I get a nostalgic feeling from time to time almost unbearable. I needed to hear this soundtrack again to make it go away. Truly a masterpiece and one of the best games of all time.
This song actually inspired me to write/compose as a kid. Most of D2's soundtrack did. It has that ambiance to it that draws you in. It's dark, but not too dark. This, the Tristram tune, Lut Gholien, Mount Arreat. All fond melodies and tunes from my childhood.
Ha, me too. I was once trying to write a fanfiction about the corruption of Kurast since that city fascinated me so much and the soundtrack just printed the words into my head.
"All who oppose me, beware!"-Xul the Necromancer "Beware foul demons and beasts!"-Barbarian "I will cleanse this wilderness!"-Paladin "They'll never see me coming..."-Assassin "Evil beware!"-Sorceress that's all I can remember :v
I'll purge this land of the shadow -Cassia (Amazon) ....So it begins.... -Druid Be great if we can get the Druid in HotS, I'm pretty sure the va still works with Blizz and voiced Medivh
Even though I never played Diablo 2 much but this part 5:13 of the soundtrack has been stuck in my head since the day I first played back then. It has this typical early 2000s sound to it which I totally love
I love it, and other parts of the soundtrack also have motifs like that, it's very excellently done. All of act V's tracks seem to support each other and you hear pieces of the title theme sometimes and it's just wonderful.
_way_ better and can actually play instead of grinding for gear to play stupidly high difficulties like Torment 9+.... Nightmare & Hell were brutal enough.
But not as good as Path of Exile. :) But yeah Diablo 2 will always have a special place in my heart just like Diablo 1. Played D1 on the PlayStation and bought a new PC just for D2 and had a blast playing up to 1.12! (I had a console for playing games and an older computer to write things. So Diablo 2 dragged me into PC Gaming and the last console I had was the PlayStation 1.)
Eh, I liked to play diablo 2 as a kid... But only the first act, act 1 is perfect (that's why I am here now, listening to this amazing soundtrack). The problems start with lut gholein and carry on untill the last act - the game gets real dull real quick. I've finished the game once just for the sake of getting the story, but it was a pain. Now people can say whatever thay want about diablo 3, but at least it's consistently engaging through the whole campaign and only starts to let go a bit in act 5. And it's certainly more fun than torchlight 1 and 2 (dunno about poe, never played it)
"I will cleanse this wilderness" This game is so perfect...that i doubt there will be any game that can beat it... The music...the places....the enemies....the loot....everything top-notch. All hail Matt Uelmen!
Never in my life have I been as happy as when I was out of the underground passage with those nasty enchanted archers and could hear this sound again. A bliss and relief beyond comparison.
Some other A1 gems later and A2 are really good, D2 in general has the most amazing music which constantly reminds you at every turn it's not there to make a one-hit-wonder at the beginning only =)
2:44 The smell of decay around you as you walk in mud.... People heard about the Tristram and you have to reach Dark Wood as fast as possible. But on your left is an abandoned cave... or is it after all, abandoned?
God I love browsing the comments to Diablo II music while listening to it, because so many share the same memories as me. So many comments with quotes from the game, which just brings me further back to my childhood as I played this jawdropping game. Every stroke on that guitars strings buy Matt Uelmen just takes me back to that wilderness, killing rakanishus, zombies, skeletons, big ass yetis and walking through a game world which was just enchanting at that time.
At 2:10 I remember playing as the barbarian, dual wielding an axe and a sword, desperately swinging as fast as I can against a horde of Fallen Ones and Corrupt Rogues but still taking damage, my guy letting out grunts of pain as my finger hovers over the health potion hotkey to keep him alive.
Love the last few minutes, the best way to describe to me would be like someone making a grim discovery that horrifies them. Left alone in the cold soaked windswept wilderness; the truth of death weighing on their conscience.
@@Randomstuff33688 the last part is forever associated with the corrupted rogues for me. It represents the brooding towards their desecration, and the need for revenge. Basically the total devastation they cannot be saved
@@Randomstuff33688 I would definitely have to disagree with you about 5:11. It feels like they've gained a sudden confidence, and have hit their stride.
Come back to diablo 2. There is a new mod called project diablo 2. My friends and I are playing it and we are calling it vanilla + it's like ol school d2 with quality of life features and it's 2021 diablo 2 pretty much.
The last two minutes of this song take me to such a special place… Thank you Matt Uelman, and thank you Blizzard North, truly a singular chapter in gaming
Diablo II was one sequel which was greater than the first. I attribute 70% of this success to Matt for giving us an actual step up in the music, which I didn't think was possible. But, he outdid himself. It's too bad he left Blizzard, but Torchlight's music was very good, too.
☑ “This guy's intro is CRAZY!” ☑ “My track can't win against a track like that” ☑ "He NEEDED precisely those two chords to win" ☑ “He topdecked the only drums that could beat me” ☑ "He had the perfect ambient" ☑ “There was nothing I could do” ☑ “I listened to that perfectly”
It surely is nostalgia or something like that but this track in particular is one of my fav from all time... the composer really managed to make you feel the atmosphere of the game from the very first stage and that's what you can call to be a Genius from a gaming perspective..this track is EPIC and it use Diablo 1 reference :) it could'nt have been made better honestly.
Uelmen was on some next level stuff when he did the Diablo 2 OST. Diablo 1 too, but the moody atmospheric sound to Diablo 2's OST just fits this cruel, mysterious, and dark fantasy world SO PERFECTLY. Also the buildup at 6:00 and the riff at 6:36 give me goosebumps to this day.
Sometimes.... and I know this might sound pathetic, but I wish I could go back in time, and relive the glory of this game, at the height of its greatness. I love the resurrected version, it looks beautiful, but I just miss the old friends I had, and the great times and hours we spent. This truly was a wonderful masterpiece.
I liked the first act of the game the simply because of this theme right here. For me it was the best act in the entire freakin game because of it. It felt so Dark and ominous but At the same time invigorating and powerful and it made me want to keep on playing it. Hell i purposely kept grinding to around lv20 or so on my summonancer in act I because it felt alot darker and moody than the other acts. I mean nothing beats cleansing the den of evil and seeing the flickers of light shine through the cracks of the dungeon. Good times.
It's because the first act comes closest to the phenomenal atmosphere of Diablo 1. Act 2 has you marching in broad daylight through the desert. Act 3 a jungle full of life. Act 4... I guess is good but on the other hand, simply going to hell with the help of an angel isn't quite the same as finding an opening to hell under your town.
When I was little and tried to play this with my dad, I was always too scared to step too far from the campsite. As soon as this played when I stepped one foot out of the safe zone with such a small range of vision, I always tensed up and screamed like I was about to have a panic attack as I ran back into the camp. Good times.
My first steps in these forsaken land was amazing. All alone and everything around you was darkness and the living dead. I will never forget this experience. Diablo II is a masterpiece
What a brilliant first impression to the game. Those airy pads and the strings echoing give an agoraphobic sensation of being opressed by a wide open terrain. This is such a great note to start on, as to set it apart from the claustrophobic Diablo 1 setting. The music is selling you on the overworld concept, amazing
There was once a drum cover of this piece on youtube. Unfortunately it got taken down, I don't know why. But god, the drummer was really good on that one!
I remember starting act 1 on hell difficulty, thinking it would be a piece of cake with the build i made. Couldnt even get to the first quest and i was already dead.
Still til' this day I remember this song from playing the game back in the early 2000s for the first time. This whole song is like going on an adventure only to find bunt down villages with bloody corpses stewn all around.
This music just fits the map and design perfectly. The music also builds up to something. D2 was kind of a random lightening strike IMO just part luck that everything fell together so perfectly. What made D2 so good is WAY more then the items or end game. Way more its all the subtle pieces and little details like music.
Man, this is why i don't play newer Diablo games. They might be decent games, (heard they're not) but they definitely don't have the same...Atmosphere as the first two.
I listened to that music for years, It really is a masterpiece! every chime and note brings back awesome memories from times gone by. The worldstone was intact back then, imagine that!
D1 soundtrack was incredible, with a few lulls. A very short soundtrack. This one is just magnificent. There are a few more periods of where not much is going on, but that's to be expected in a soundtrack this long.
Nostalgia overload. When I started Diablo II after playing Diablo III for a few days, I almost shed some tears. Because the whole atmosphere in the game so far surpasses its successor, it's agonizing. Granted: It's far from perfect. But still, I yearn for a true spiritual successor to Diablo II, in every meaningful way. Too bad Torchlight features another take on the genre and cannot give us that to its full extent.
"Kripp my son," say the Papparin, "you are such a large pepperoni, why aren't you a pizza." But the Kripp don't respond. He elopes to Greece and runs his hand through his unshaven face scruff and say "Well met!" to the twisted Succubus. Alone in his heart, Papparin commits sudoku at a Starbucks in San Bernardino with Al Pacino, no cappucino.
Everything about this game kicks ass. The music, the gameplay, the rpg elements. I hope they take it up a couple notches with D3 and make another game that we'll be playing 12 years from it's release date. I love chillin with my stepdad and playing D2 all weekend, always finding new uniques and getting pissed at Hell mode.
Wow 11 years old comment lol. Well, they fucked it up with D3, probably will with D4, but hey at least we got D2 resurrected to keep playing this masterpiece.
"Blizzard Entertainment announced the closure of Blizzard North. A key reason for the closure was Blizzard North's poor development of what was to be Diablo III, which did not meet Vivendi's expectations" Yeah, thanks blizzard for the shitty game. Not even a shadow of D2 was
+Dembai that's really too bad, because I agree 200% with Daniel. I miss Blizz North.... and having Matt Uelman as primary composer. I fear there will never be a true Diablo sequel.
@@DembaiVT that's because it was in pre-pre-alpha, it was nowhere near finished, i mean come on D2 took around 4-5 years to make, they simply wanted to make what was going to be D3 better than D2, which was obviously no easy feat

Las canciones le terminan de dar ese toque tétrico a la ambientación de cada nivel, es hermoso.
THE NOSTALGIA I CANNOT HANDLE IT
2:45 to 3:18 is my favorite part. always manages to make me a little sad.
definitly...this is one of the best arrangement with the recurent theme from diablo 1 it fits the atmosphere of the game very well ...
Obviously the best part from 2:10
The composer is absolute genius
Same bruh.. it make me always remember Blood Raven and the Other Rogue Sister that have been fallen.
There was once a drum cover of this piece on youtube. Unfortunately it got taken down, I don't know why. But god, the drummer was really good on that one!
6:37 My favorite part of this track.
6:36, I can just imagine my little black dude running around spinnin' hammers around. Aww yes...
I miss playing this game so much.
I listen to this when going for a trail run in the woods, ready to grab a wooden club and smack any hostile creatures that jump out the bushes.
Кто залил это все ❤ низкий поклон
I remember starting act 1 on hell difficulty, thinking it would be a piece of cake with the build i made. Couldnt even get to the first quest and i was already dead.
Good i Love the part that comes on 5:00, gives me chills everytime
5:15 best part
i love to hunt to that part >:DD
Mine favorite part too.
Those rogue-corrupted girls screaming ''AHHHH '' ''OHHHHH'' slashing them lol.. this song is the best made in history
Still til' this day I remember this song from playing the game back in the early 2000s for the first time. This whole song is like going on an adventure only to find bunt down villages with bloody corpses stewn all around.
Blood Raven: "Join my army of the dead!"
Summon Necro *smirks*
This music just fits the map and design perfectly. The music also builds up to something. D2 was kind of a random lightening strike IMO just part luck that everything fell together so perfectly. What made D2 so good is WAY more then the items or end game. Way more its all the subtle pieces and little details like music.
Man, this is why i don't play newer Diablo games. They might be decent games, (heard they're not) but they definitely don't have the same...Atmosphere as the first two.
I have to play this game again before i die. Diablo 2 is one of the best games ive ever played, absolutely perfect.
'Beware foul demons and beasts"
i love every piece of music from act1, freaking amazing
Memories oh . . .
This part is pretty much the best video game music I've ever heard. From anything. Period.
I listened to that music for years, It really is a masterpiece! every chime and note brings back awesome memories from times gone by.
The worldstone was intact back then, imagine that!
D1 soundtrack was incredible, with a few lulls. A very short soundtrack. This one is just magnificent. There are a few more periods of where not much is going on, but that's to be expected in a soundtrack this long.
part starting around 5:40 is so awesome!
* 5:15
there's so much going on in this track. it's not just the sound of the wilderness.
I got the crazy idea that this music is in the Progressive genere... :)
+Ignacio C yeah, Ambient Progressive Rock… actually quite sounds like that
+Ignacio C yeah man prog asf!
I think Matt was inspired by people like Mike Oldfield, and I also hear some The Who in the use of his acoustic guitars.
Nostalgia overload.
When I started Diablo II after playing Diablo III for a few days, I almost shed some tears. Because the whole atmosphere in the game so far surpasses its successor, it's agonizing. Granted: It's far from perfect. But still, I yearn for a true spiritual successor to Diablo II, in every meaningful way. Too bad Torchlight features another take on the genre and cannot give us that to its full extent.
"Kripp my son," say the Papparin, "you are such a large pepperoni, why aren't you a pizza." But the Kripp don't respond. He elopes to Greece and runs his hand through his unshaven face scruff and say "Well met!" to the twisted Succubus. Alone in his heart, Papparin commits sudoku at a Starbucks in San Bernardino with Al Pacino, no cappucino.
omg its the most beautiful thing i've read...tho i didn't understand shit about it, would you mind explaining yourself?
More like dunka-cino amirite
Everything about this game kicks ass. The music, the gameplay, the rpg elements. I hope they take it up a couple notches with D3 and make another game that we'll be playing 12 years from it's release date. I love chillin with my stepdad and playing D2 all weekend, always finding new uniques and getting pissed at Hell mode.
Wow 11 years old comment lol. Well, they fucked it up with D3, probably will with D4, but hey at least we got D2 resurrected to keep playing this masterpiece.
6:37 is my favorite part. Overload of nostalgia.
Goosebumps and chills everytime
"Blizzard Entertainment announced the closure of Blizzard North. A key reason for the closure was Blizzard North's poor development of what was to be Diablo III, which did not meet Vivendi's expectations"
Yeah, thanks blizzard for the shitty game. Not even a shadow of D2 was
Have you PLAYED the game they were producing? It was worse than D3. ACTUALLY WORSE.
+Dembai that's really too bad, because I agree 200% with Daniel. I miss Blizz North.... and having Matt Uelman as primary composer. I fear there will never be a true Diablo sequel.
And you managed to play the in development version to make the comparison ?
I am a huge Diablo fan and I liked Diablo 3. It wasn't as good as 1 & 2 but it wasn't a bad game.
@@DembaiVT that's because it was in pre-pre-alpha, it was nowhere near finished, i mean come on D2 took around 4-5 years to make, they simply wanted to make what was going to be D3 better than D2, which was obviously no easy feat
Running around the wilderness area in Diablo 3 with the music muted and this playing in the background is pure awesome.
ヽ༼ຈل͜ຈ༽ﾉ OJ poured and candle lit, with this chant I summon Kripp ヽ༼ຈل͜ຈ༽ﾉ
***** RIP in pepperonis
Too bad the old Kripp is gone.. all he does now is some card game.
*****
if only he was still like that *sniff*
***** I believe they're talking about a guy called Kripparian, who's become quite a prominent figure in the Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft scene and is one of the announcers at major tournaments.
+mNL321 Yep, he's gotten a bit Casualarrian. :(
