It looked great. Cautiously optimistic. Glad Druid is in.

Steve gets a Kidney but I don't even get a tag.
The combat engine in D3 was really good IMO so I don't mind if they keep that, the problem was the awful character system, itemization, later added level scaling. If they can fix that it could be good, but I doubt they can. They got the message on the artstyle at least, so we'll see.

They need to re-introduce grid movement.

I like how kids in the audience have no fucking clue what's going on and sit there confused. Their parents are gleeful instead.

Annoying and hard to follow how Sylvannis became so powerful when she used to be some dead elf ghost, but I'm really glad it isn't just "return of the lich king".

Saw the trailer and thought "holy shit is this the old Blizzard coming back...you know, the SC1/Diablo1/Diablo2 Blizzard, before all their games adopted an aesthetics aimed at 8 year olds?"

Then I saw the gameplay and nope, seems old Blizzard is still dead. Looked like an old D3 footage, only desaturated.

This. Diablo 3 still feels the best to play out of all the ARPGs just in terms of how impactful and crunchy combat feels like. It just shits the bed with the visuals and how character building doesn't have any "permanency". If they can fix the tone and how char building works and have some actual challenge it'll probably be a fine game. My only worry is that they are going to add a cash shop where they are going to fleece the fuck out of us with new mount skins and stuff like that. The reason why BfA has been one of their most profitable expansions despite how low the player numbers have been is exactly because of how much money they've made selling mount skins on the shop. Once you taste that kind of money there's no going back.

Hearthstone news might have as well been presented to random people on the streets. Guy shows some dragon card, awkward silence, guy acts like nothing happened.
Since they started selling 3 full-blown expansions every fucking year HS collapsed into a pure whaling operation. The only people still involved are cretins spending 2k a year, streamers and people watching streamers.

She's a strong and independant woman. That's why.

Looks like they are slowly building their Titan MMO crowdfunded by loot boxes.

Well, Diablo 4 isn't a Skyrim/Borderlands mix mash, but the gameplay trailer they showed actually looks very legit.
