Oh, haven't seen any reports about this, could you detail it a bit, maybe even create an issue on GitHub?
Wait have you updated to 0.3.0 yet?

Diablo is now the 80th bestselling game of all time on GOG!

https://www.gog.com/games?sort=bestselling&page=2

and probably the 5th most bitched about due to lack of Hellfire :)

Dethroned by Senua on the current bestsellers list too.

Great job on Diablo now just please release Hellfire as a DLC I am sure you guys would sell a copy to near every single person that got it. We all win then!

Did GOG just pull some shenenigans with the reviews? My review was pinned as most helpful with some legit criticism and a 3 star rating and now it got shoved all the way to the last page.

Seems like they don't want people to make informed purchases...

Your reviews have never been helpful in making informed purchases.
In addition, it is obvious that you poorly understand the meaning of the word "helpful":

Paranoia much?
The reason is simply this: you posted an early negative review on a much-wanted deemed-impossible release, so a bunch of people on impulse downvoted it to hell (check the numbers).
You should always wait for the "horde" to pass, before attempting criticism, or otherwise reap the consequences.

Btw, your review isn't exactly reasonable.
You're kinda evaluating a 20+ years old game with modern standards (or at least D2 standards, a much improved sequel).

Defining the level design of such an innovative classic "bland and generic" is bulls**t.
And the gameplay is expected to be clunky and slow, after you played D2 (maybe even with LoD).
It's like watching an old black&white movie and whining that it lacks speed, color, and surround..

Even your complaint about the price is meaningless.
Almost all games are added at an higher price, so they can be discounted later. This is because gamers nowadays dismiss anything without at least a 50% sale.
You don't have to buy it immediately, you know..

@phaolo The review went from the very first to the very last, where is the logic in that? It's been pushed behind other reviews with a lower upvote % so it doesn't make sense.

How is it not reasonable to judge games based on today's standards? The best old games sold on GOG can easily be judged by today's standards and get a legit 5 star.

My comment on the price is fair, for less than 10$ you can buy old RPGs that will last you dozens of hours. I tried to get into D1 but quit after a few minutes because of how clunky it was, this coming from someone who recently enjoyed Ultima 7 and Daggerfall. I would bet that the average playtime for D1 among GOG users is less than 1 hour.

Also GOG pushed back plenty of other day 1 reviews so this whole thing is already confirmed.

17 days after release Diablo holds the spot #79 of all-time best selling games on GOG. I wonder if it will reach top 50 in the first month. It gets harder and harder to go up now. :p

It may get renewed traction once the Spring Sale is over.

Edit: 1000 post milestone here.

Good that it sells so well, now push blizzard to release D2 here as well and not just Bnet, over 1000 replies in a release thread is quite impressive so now it's time to go to 2000 !

Your review has 1681 negative votes and a 70% negative percentage.
I don't know what algorithm Gog uses (probably it's a bit broken as usual), but isn't so strange that your review is at the end.
Btw there are still 3 star reviews on page1, so I'm not sure which evil plan you think Gog had in mind.

If you base your reviews only on modern standards, all old games would be junk to avoid.
You should also consider the time of release, with its available tech and its game design knowledge.

And Diablo1 lasts dozens of hours too, if you don't quit after few minutes lol.
Btw, I'm not sure how you didn't perceive clunkiness in old Ultima games..

Splat, you became a victim of reason. No offense but your review had rather small informative value in itself, although I realise that reviewing Diablo properly is quite unnecessary, especially on gog where the vast majority played that game.

If I had to speculate, I imagine that dropping below 33.33% usefulness unpinned you. Why you ended up on page 110 though, I honestly dunno. At the very least you had a good run and a time spent on spotlight for as long as it lasted, right?

About review itself, you mention: price/value (that is entirely subjective factor), level design being bland and generic (quite funny, because it's randomly generated so you can't expect handcrafted experience in dungeons. Tileset itself might be rather samey, but the game is supposed to be grimdark dungeoncrawler hack n slasher + consider the colour palette and tech.limitations of its day. That also applies to movement/scrolling and combat itself, not to mention it was originally supposed to be a turnbased game). All in all it was groundbreaking title back in its day and it definitely pushed bar way higher. Btw I've always liked Diablo 1 more than its sequel, for I thought D1 to be less spread out and it concentrated on dungeoncrawling instead of trekking across uninspiring wasteland/desert... that part in D2 always tested my perseverance and resolve to keep playing further.

P.S. I see that this is likely your grumpy review account of sorts (sorry if I'm mistaken), so do you happen to have more of these gems like this review of yours? I would like to give them a read.

"If you base your reviews only on modern standards, all old games would be junk to avoid"

That's such a bullshit statement, what are you even doing here? Plenty of old games have established the gold standard for their genre decades ago and they are still unmatched today, especially RPGs.

@Spectrum My review was more informative than 90% of what is written there "omg best gaem ever" "thanks GOG", etc.... The controls are very clunky, the gameplay is repetitive and limited. Divine Divinity sells for 5$ and it offers 10x more content and features so 10$ is very expensive for what D1 offers. Game uses randomly generated levels but in the end the levels are still bland, there is almost no unique content.
