Made me cackle that they're advertising horseriding as a feature, Sacred from fifteen years back says hello.

Path of Exile touts "different builds" but the reality is that everyone just copies from a handful of builds on the forums because nobody wants to play a gimp.

Dead wrong mate. There is a "meta" at every patch, but that's mostly because of the new stuff. There are countless more-than-viable builds you can make.

Sure, about twice as many, but so what? Most of them are going to be passive effects or CWDT and one of them is a travel skill. The amount of skills that you actively use for combat purposes isn't going to exceed what's in D3.

If I sound like a fanboy, it's because I AM. But seriously now, you are correct, but it always depends on the build. Sure you can make a build with 2 active skills and many passive effects. You can make piano builds as well - not counting the passive auras which you don't even have to bind. PoE's strong suit is the sheer number of skills and combinations you can choose from. Theorycrafting builds in PoE is a game by itself.

I still can't get past the VEGAN tatoo. Take a minute and think what kind of retard does that. That's who is supposed to make the hard decisions for this game...

Most players can't distinguish between a good and bad build if it clears screen in a couple of seconds. So yeah, PoE has TONS of different builds.

It's a clown world. AAA game is a complete shit fest. Same with TOW
The writers are NPCs and the guy overseeing color scheme is severely colorblind ;-)

 

[luj1]

The color scheme is the only good thing here...

 

[Lacrymas]

What left click simulators actually have those things?

I'd say Grim Dawn. Maybe Titan Quest now has that too, but I haven't looked into it recently.

Rusty cuckleford started playing games in 2011 or so, I doubt he heard of Titan Quest, Harbinger and Prince of Qin

Imagine being this butthurt because I insulted a shitty degeneration of the roguelike genre for kids with ADHD

 

[Abu Antar]

There's still too much Diablo III in there.

Am I the only one who hates that on-hit flash effect? Reminds me of a jmmo. Can't they just add more gore for hit feedback?

Diablo still female
Nigger barbarian
Only 3 classes??

Lilith isn't Diablo
Paladin was a nigger in D2
There are more than 3 classes.

But original lore says nigga are sorcerers then in D2 black alpha nigga becomes Independent stronk white woman but they realized It was an error: you have even Witch doctor in D3 because ooga booga.
Seriously with all black black why should do White magic like a paladin or go full melee like the barbarian?

what white womyn? sorceress is obviously inspired by east/egypt whatever.
I can't think of a better place for a female character in this setting than caster from matriarchial clan of witches who, add or take some symbolism could pass for your usual ancient goddess depiction. the persian and babylonian theme in fact would fit extremely well into whole diablo world, too bad it is ignored by everyone nowadays when it comes to creating settings. Nergal is sad he is not in the Sanctuary.
well maybe another way you could do it is add some amazon inspired ch-... oh wait.
wizardry, if you read diablo 1 manual or diablo 2 manual (I had original big box with lore booklet) came from typical mythos of mysterious arabian mages of the east
it's all nicely integrated into the setting which is basically 11th century post apocalyptic satanic fantasy. in fact, Diablo might be the only fantasy setting which integrates blacks and muslims into itself in a reasonable way.

in fact they should have doubled down on everything and make map look similar to irl, and add some similar historical events into it, like Warhammer Fantasy Battles did (before it was killed off by cunts). some crusade against Prime Evil lost in the sands of shaitans with locals picking up on zakarum faith and taking arms against demons would not hurt. would explain well a black paladin.

The tibetan steppes with idols inside mountains and ruined indian statue look alright, although my guess would be they worked on this to appease the asian market, not out of interest to history or anything.

It's not going to be like Diablo 1, so not going to play. I also hate Blizzard, so no loss to me. Besides, I don't want to be associated with Blizzard fans:

and this I just love the most.

So not only Bethesda from bad guy would be great guy again after new TES, but Blizzard "dont you guys have phones" would also be praised by same people (and youtubers im sure) who cashed in on videos about how they're baaaad.

I am fully waiting of all sins forgiven right after their new big games come out

As improved as the cinematic is over the garbage that blizzard has been producing lately, it's still far too clean and reeks of the exhaustingly epic direction the series took with 3 (began taking with 2), as opposed to the subterranean, filthy darkness of Diablo 1 and the best parts of 2.

Maybe it will be some offline feature with story mode (only if you choose to play as an elf )

 

[Tito Anic]

Dont be weak, do not believe lies. YOUR DIABLO IS DEAD long long time ago You got to aknowledge that and carry-on, brace yourselves men!

Did everyone just conveniently forget how they completely left Diablo 3 in the dust?

Post releases were 1 expansion and a lousy new class DLC.

Diablo 2 did fine and it got even less.

 

[Assisted Living Godzilla]

Swamp level

[Outer Kurast Nightmares Intensify]

And Hell will be Volcano level

Just once, it would be cool if they went with hell as the frozen level, or a more "catholic" hell that is a torturous dimension of emptyness, void, nothingness and distance from divinity

Watching the cinematic trailer reminded me of these things:

Can't find a good clip anymore, but also the end fight from Lord of Illusions where Nix is throwing people up agains walls and telling them to "Touch the darkness."

Point being, if they're pulling from stuff like The Cell, H. R. Giger designs, and Clive Barker stuff like the Hellraiser movies and Lord of Ilusions; they'll probably do it for Hell too. So maybe Hell will end up some kind of mix of Hellraiser 2, Giger paints and Alien, and just weird kind of stuff from The Cell

Looks like they found where the Fembarb was keeping her testosterone supplements and took away from her.
That's one improvement.

 

[MajorMace]

The skills you have available in Diablo are fewer than the skills you can bind in Poe...

Thank god.

I don't get why they show this gameplay, it looks shockingly unfinished for Blizzard. Diablo 4's release is still at least two years away.

They had to stop the death spiral of their reputation that started last BlizzCon.

Wouldn't be like they had something they had to make go away because they fucked up several times or anything. Nah.

Those are the content you need to pay for. The rest of the post release content(include new legendary, new game mode and shit) are all free.

Diablo 3 has a very long post release support, they are still adding new armour set now.
