For me it's Diablo II. Granted I've played my fair share of D2 since launch, and also recently on a private server with a comrade from hexbear, but I still feel like years later the game didn't grab me as much as D1 did.

Granted I don't hate D2, but for a game that I keep coming back to, D1 takes the prize.

Warcraft 3 was my absolute favorite game back then, I must have wasted a thousand hours on just custom games through the years.

Needless to say, the followup being the somewhat successful Word of Warcraft made sure there would never be an actual sequel in a genre I actually like lol. And then much later they decided to "reforge" the game and the less is said about that, the better angery

yesssssssss there is another

I also. I still have about 5GB of custom Warcraft 3 maps I passively downloaded over so many years. I can't let go, they were too great. WC3 continues to have been the portal to some of the best TDs to ever exist.

wc3 TD games consumed a large portion of my childhood. i know theres quite a few decent standalone TD games now but its not the same

ugh i sort of wish this were me but i also enjoy those memories and don't want to taint them.

either way i wanna say there are sites where people upload some of the old maps for redownload, you could always contribute to something like that! (if you wanted)

[–] bumpusoot@hexbear.net 2 points 2 weeks ago

Fair point, I'll have a look and see if I can re-share 'em.

I’d love to buy Reforged just for the fantastic-looking Warcraft 2 mod but I feel dirty paying any sort of money to reward that lousy attempt of a remake (and I don’t think it’s been cracked). Plus, I absolutely despise Battle dot net, so there’s that.

[–] Formerlyfarman@hexbear.net 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

It's cracked. Tho there were no ql improvements, so it's somewhat clunky to play. The StarCraft remastered is also cracked. I did not know about the warcraft 2 mod, thanks.

Ah, not sure why I assumed otherwise.

And yeah, Chronicles of the Second War looks like a great modernization of the original, as someone who obsessed over Warcraft 2 back in the day. Human campaign is still under development though.

[–] Formerlyfarman@hexbear.net 2 points 2 weeks ago

It did take a long time to get cracked, and the scene is not good right now. AnywY, thanks that looks cool.

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
