9 | !! Series-wide examples |
10 | * {{Altitis}}: Much of the appeal comes from taking its simplistic gameplay style and sprucing it up through constant character customization. Shifting between characters and character builds are a sure-fire way to fall prey to the game's infamously addictive nature. |
11 | * BetterOffSold: The copious amounts of low-quality weapons and armor you come across are good for gold. |
12 | * ClicheStorm: Part of the charm of any Blizzard game albeit more darker than most. |
13 | * CompleteMonster: See [[Monster/{{Diablo}} here]]. |
14 | * EvilIsCool: |
15 | ** Diablo himself the lord of terror has many memorable quotes. |
16 | ** The Butcher also counts. |
17 | %%* EveryoneIsSatanInHell: The game fell into this for a number of uninformed parents. |
18 | * FanNickname: Combines this with MaliciousMisnaming. The immense hatred towards ''Diablo Immortal'' and what it stood for a majority of gamers caused them to just omit the 't' and instead call it ''Diablo Immoral'[[note]]Creator/CarbotAnimations wouldn't be [[WebAnimation/{{Diablol}} the first/only one]] to use the term.[[/note]] |
19 | * HarsherInHindsight: The "Do you guys not have phones?!" quote became this due to updated ticketing and entry regluations for Blizzcon 2019. As stated in [[https://blizzcon.com/en-us/news/22938865/5-things-you-need-to-know-before-you-buy-a-blizzcon-pass the fifth bullet point on this page]], the only way to get into Blizzcon 2019 after successfully purchasing a ticket is with a smartphone that also has the spyware [=AXS=] app installed. |
20 | * ItsPopularNowItSucks: Being a Blizzard franchise, it was inevitable. |
21 | * ItWasHisSled: The path to the "secret" cow level? Not at all a secret nowadays since it was a false rumor. However, there turns out to be one in ''Diablo II''. |
22 | * JunkRare: The games fall into this sooner or later thanks to the RandomNumberGod. |
23 | * MemeticMutation: |
24 | ** "Do you guys not have phones?!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]This was the response of Wyatt Cheng when a well-known Diablo player asked whether ''Diablo: Immortal'' would be released for PC, to which Cheng replied that it would be mobile-only, which was met with a ''very'' negative reaction. Cheng's response (despite being considered a panic reaction) was regarded as one of the ''dumbest'' PR missteps of the last few years, particularly because he [[ComicallyMissingThePoint missed the point]].[[/labelnote]] |
25 | ** "Is this an out-of-season April Fools joke?"[[labelnote:Explanation]]An actual question that was asked at Blizzcon 2018 during the ''Diablo: Immortal'' Q&A by a fan. The question was met with cheers, with some people nicknaming the fan "Lord of Destruction".[[/labelnote]] |
26 | * SugarWiki/MostWonderfulSound: Loot hitting the floor. There's a reason Blizzard hasn't changed the sound set since the first game. |
27 | * PlayTheGameSkipTheStory: The ''Diablo'' franchise does in fact have a story, and there are the hardcore "lore-fans" who spend time debating of it, but most players ignore it completely. The franchise also has loads of [[AllThereInTheManual supplemental materials]]. Of course, as a result, Blizzard became savvy enough to know they can get away with ClicheStorm plots (and trailers) and only a few Tropers on this site will actually notice. Anyone who only played multi-player probably didn't even know there was a story; it skips all the cinematics and most of the background is in the manual. |
28 | * TaintedByThePreview: ''Diablo: Immortal'' was hit hard with this when it was revealed to be a mobile spinoff, a concept that has become highly controversial among gamers for [[AllegedlyFreeGame various]] [[BribingYourWayToVictory reasons]]. It also didn't help that they announced it at Blizzcon 2018 to an audience made up almost entirely of [=PC=] and/or console gamers. |
29 | * TakeThatScrappy: Blizzard acknowledged Wirt's scrappiness back in the first game. You find his dead body in ''II'' and, when clicked on it, a fountain of gold pops out. |
