Diablo IV

[Desiderius]

(I once surprised people on release with hardcore bear druid with high stun so for 2 days they named bhaalruns "bear bhaal". never I felt so important in my worthless teen life as that moment.)

Teen lives only feel worthless to those who've outgrown them, so well done.

Doesn't sound all that worthless tho, TBH. Excellence is valued and valuable.

 

[Desiderius]

Brits heavily romanticize their history

Five centuries give or take of Roman occupation will do that.

They're not dead yet, Lizard.

Even if they are, the Dude who's the biggest reason that Roman era still looms so large isn't very good at staying dead. One could say He Abides.

disco elysium writing is good, but I'm not sure I had so much fun later as I have now killing hundreds of cows with poison nova. no wonder people loved this game.

guess I am a casual after all.

Is anybody seriously going to buy a Blizzard product after they sucked the Xi dick?
The best part is that China is about to ban kids from playing video games for more than 1.5 hours a day. Keep on slurping faggots.

Also, wow, what a shitty pair of trailers. Even if you are a morally bankrupt queer of queers hellbent on destroying Western civilization for the low, low price of Blizzard lootbox-ridden games, surely you aren't interested in the unholy (pun intended) abortion those trailers revealed.

kicksin is really, really fun

also highest attacks per second potential in the game, even higher than zealots and frenzy barbs

I preferred claws. The class skills had better synergy, drained less mana, and had better item support. I had a clawdin that could block something like...85% of enemy attacks--legit. Claws blocked weapon attacks and spells, so it was immensely powerful. I had to socket my endgame weapons with the rune which made my claws indestructible, because they lose durability so quickly. It saved my ass plenty of times, which was especially good because it was a hardcore character. It carried me through soloing "Uber diablo" in the Fallen Den. That was a good fight.

Not a cRPG.

Hack and Slash with "upgrades".

Should be in general gaming. FAIL.

Survival games have more RPG elements than Diablo 3, WoW and probably 4

Sports games have more RPG elements than 90% of the recent games in this section.

The Role I Played was killing shit until my mouse finger or my mouse gave out, which ever came first.

Felt good, man.

Beat selling cars.

So true. But it's more like 100%. They've been that way for a long time. If you like sports and RPGs they are like heaven, you can get very immersed in the details.

 

[BlackAdderBG]

Diablo games are still RPGs, something TOW, Witcher 2/3, Oblivion and Skyrim for example are not. There is nothing surprising sport sim games are close to the RPG genre as they share same core gameplay fundamentals like simulating actions based on stats i.e. "roleplaying".

This thread is now about D1/D2 memories.

Care to explain why the trailers were bad? At least it will spice the thread.

He'll only do it if you explain what the S stands for in S.torch.

Decline in nutshell.

From D1 to D2, you see some decline on RPG value and atmosphere, but the game got more longevity. From D2 to D3, was a pure decline.

 

[Deleted Member 16721]

D3 has some of the most fun combat I've ever played. It was very fun and satisfying to play in couch co-op.

I don't think that constant watch your skill bars for cooldowns is "fun", D1 and D2 had much better combat IMO.

It means sorcery. You would read it like sorcery torch.

 

[Deleted Member 16721]

D1 combat was very basic, but fun. D2 added more complexity and was also good to me. D3 added exciting twitch skills a bit and was hectic fun to play. I enjoy all 3 but i definitely don't look at D3 as 'pure decline '. It had exciting combat.

Thanks brosheezy!

Was I seeing millions of points of damage for diablo 3? Good grief talk about inflation.

 

[Desiderius]

I vaguely recall D3 being ruined by online Auction House? D2 was pure incline.

 

[Damned Registrations]

Diablo 1 had terrible combat. Exploration was what made it fun. Clicking on a boss a hundred times with some potion spam mixed in, not so much.

No, you’re thinking of TW3. No way I clicked more than fifty times in D1, sixty max.

 

[Naraya]

Not sure why D2 is supposed to be decline. To me it's the best Diablo game (never played D3 but let's be honest...).
