Asmongold criticizes \u201cboring\u201d Diablo 2 Resurrected gameplay Blizzard Entertainment, Twitch: AsmongoldTwitch sensation Asmongold isn\u2019t known for holding back, and he\u2019s been pretty brutal when it comes to Blizzard\u2019s Diablo 2 remaster, Diablo 2 Resurrected. Finally unleashed to players on September 23, Diablo 2 Resurrected dominated Twitch during its launch day. With a whole host of content creators diving into their Sanctuary adventures, one even cosplayed as a genderbent Deckard Cain. Asmongold, however, wasn\u2019t part of the devilishly delightful party. Previously stating that he wouldn\u2019t play the game on stream, there was no sign of the self-professed professional neck beard on launch day. While ongoing medical issues with his mother were likely the main cause of this, he opened up in a September 28 stream about why Diablo 2 Resurrected has little to no appeal to him. Asmongold calls Diablo 2 Resurrected \u201cboring\u201d When asked whether or not he was planning on streaming the remaster, Asmongold had few nice things to say about Blizzard\u2019s latest release. \u201cI\u2019ve played a little bit of Diablo 2 but the truth is that Diablo 2 is pretty boring to play,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m going to be honest, I think it\u2019s boring to play, it\u2019s boring to watch; it\u2019s just not something that I\u2019m super excited about. \u201cIf it had come out when I was still streaming I probably would have played it that day and played through the campaign,\u201d he confessed. \u201cBut in terms of playing it as, like, a consistent thing, I think it\u2019s a very acquired taste. The fact that I never played Diablo 2 back in the day removes the nostalgia element that attracts a lot of people.\u201d When asked if he doesn\u2019t enjoy the game at all, he noted: \u201cI loved Diablo 3, I thought it was such a fun game, but the gameplay of Diablo 2 is just not good in my opinion. I think that it\u2019s just fundamentally not good. I don\u2019t like the way characters move, I don\u2019t like the way that NPCs move, I just don\u2019t like the way the game plays.\u201d While concluding that \u201cit feels like Diablo 2 is true to form, and I\u2019m so happy for all the people that do like playing Diablo that they have this game,\u201d it\u2019s pretty clear that Diablo fans won\u2019t get to see Asmon play the game anytime soon. Maybe if we say a few prayers to the high heavens he\u2019ll change his mind, but at this moment in time he\u2019s looking to conquer a New World (get it?) instead of Sanctuary\u2019s old one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
