That is ludicrous. Did they REALLY managed to dumb down the Diablo IV itemization more than D3???? That is seriously???? Is not a Photoshop?

What's the difference to D3?
Yes, I did play the game, many moons ago, but forgot everything about it other than "it was boring"...

 

[Grotesque]

Do you guys not have phones?

Crossing my fingers that Diablo Immortal is dead.

take those crossed fingers and fuck yourself

art style is on fucking point. D2 art returns

map is still in the corridor style, voice acting is shit and the items are still nonsensical

 

[SumDrunkGuy]

So paladin being dark skinned in D2 was fine but not barb in D4. Was paladin in D2 auch KANGZ N SHIATZ?

Yes, yes he was. Even as a kid i thought that was fucking stupid.

Of course, it didn't matter because with a couple of armor pieces you could just hide the niggerness away.

Not anymore though.

You can literally change skin color in this.

It actually looks dark and demonic.

Well, fuck me. I'm pleasantly surprised.

Talent "tree". Passives

Funny, from day 1 the diablow series were a king of dumbing down RPGs until nothing RPG remains - and yet apparently they managed to outdo themselves and dumb it down even more? My, that's quite an achievement.

But nobody played it because of RPG reasons. It was / is just a dark and gritty "Hack and Slash" game.

lol
that statue is the one from the movie "The Exorcist"

It's Pazuzu, the lord of the winged demons from Sumerian mythology.

I see others have uploaded screenshots, but since I wasted time doing these I'm putting mine up too.

This is gonna shit all over Path of Pretenciousness

They must be cowering in fear right about now.. b.b.b.b.but guys, wot r we gonnnn do???

I very much doubt that. The itemization and character building are dogshit as shown in the Diablo 4 gameplay. There isn't much rpg left in this franchise. The artstyle is much better than it's predecessor and yes gameplay is fluid. A hybrid between Lost Ark and Grim Dawn but for casuals and console peasants.

To say it in Chris Wilson's (GGG - POE) words: No problem. Two weeks!

Thanks for clarifying. I was assuming the skin tone setting in this game was just figurative.

 

[Cryomancer]

Some screens that i found

Looks very simplistic but at least better than the itemization...

I wasn't clarifying for you, dumbass. I was clarifying for the other dumbass.

Diablo IV's artistic vision was built using several key pillars:

• Return To Darkness
  
  
• Embrace the Legacy
  
  
• Old Masters Pillar, which is shorthand for striving to make each part of the new game look like it was painted by a venerated artist such as Rembrandt or Ilya Repin.

Applied to cinematic trailer only. Should have been called 'trailer pillars'.

Either way friend you have my thanks.

- skill tree is back

This is wrong. It's a "talent tree". I can almost guarantee that they just moved the "skill customization" from Diablo 3 to its own tab. At best you're looking at a WoW-esque talent tree.

The skills tab is just the same old Diablo 3 categories but with point allocation.

This is literally D3 repurposed for cell phone aspies.

He's a Fortnite window licker. His tiny brain can't process imagery that isn't simple and cartoony.

This isn't about imagery, it's about function. Having distinguishable elements is a very important thing in games, which is why pro players remove the shadows and turn the brightness to the max in shooters. People who don't care about gameplay can't understand this and won't mind muddy visuals where the enemies share the same colour of the environment.

Do you guys not have phones?

Crossing my fingers that Diablo Immortal is dead.

That video I posted last page was released like a 1 hour ago.

 

[Reinhardt]

I'm playing Lost Ark right now and this diablo thing looks like shit compared to it gameplay-wise.

 

[luj1]

Diablo, a franchise ironically surpassed by several of its own clones.

Diablo II: Lord of Destruction was never surpassed in its genre.

We get it, you can't follow shit that doesn't have a neon border around it. That's okay.

Now that this thread reminds me.... is Diablo III worth as a complete time waster bought at the lowest price possible? I mean, merely as something akin to Titan Quest (shut your brain and see stuff die) and the like, or it's actively broken and unfun?

I enjoyed greatly Diablo 1 and 2 for what they were, even if I never "got" the grinding (still prefer Diablo 1, though).

Diablo III takes a very distant back seat to Diablo I & II. Play it if you're bored or curious.

Seriously? Lost Ark is another barbie dressing game aka d3 clone.

 

[luj1]

So paladin being dark skinned in D2 was fine but not barb in D4. Was paladin in D2 auch KANGZ N SHIATZ?

The world was a different place back then.

And in Diablo 4 your barbies are forced ugly diverse negroes and you can't even dress them. And gameplay looks like shit.

Actually, borders are a great way to create visual feedback.
