Diablo IV

[Daedalos]

Anyone playing the beta?

There is only one person here who openly and PROUDLY admits that he sucks Blizzard cock.

Shut your bitch-ass up.

Does anyone remember The Dark mod for Diablo 1? Man that shit was hard and fun. I found myself going back to it after beating Diablo 2.

All of the trailers have blackoids, but not a single chinkoid.

KFC has cut a deal with Blizzard to promote the game.

Interesting. Very interesting.

Activision-Blizzard has been kicked out of CHYNA as you probably already know. Richard Lewis talks about it here:

The other thing that I could point out is that D2's campaign is actually fun and memorable where as D3's is a basically a boring roadblock to reaching endgame.

This is also a very common complaint when players talk about PoE. Endgame is fun as hell but getting there feels like a chore for most people.

Grim Dawn somehow managed to make a very fun campaign.

So with the idea that PoE and D3's campaigns are shit and GD and D2's are not, what would make a better/memorable/not want to fall sleep on my desk from boredom leveling experience? The only things that come to mind are gameplay and items , where it's fun even at low levels in GD/D2 but god awful untill you get set items, crafted gear, good rolls, whatever else in PoE and D3.

GD campaign would be way worse than PoE if you were forced to play it so many times.

That is not because PoE campaign is bad but because all good stuff is put into endgame. in PoE your builds become functional at lvl 80+ with a couple of items that you need to farm a bit of money to buy.
In D2 your build was more or less functional by the time you finished Nightmare difficulty. Also campaign was actually challenging on Hell difficulty.

I'm still waiting on my open beta code


Do you guys not eat KFC or something?

 

[Dadd]

Do you guys not have standards?

 

[Hammer Of The Heretics]

If we had standards we wouldn't be here.

....why does it look so different?

 

[ind33d]

Should have made Hardcore mode the default and turned the series into a roguelike, but games journalists's herpes would flare up

 

[Mr. Magniloquent]

....why does it look so different?

Its because it looks a lot more like D3. The color palette has more colors. The lighting is substantially brighter. Its far softer and less grim-dark.

These people are fools with no understanding of the series. Especially not D1.

What?

 

[Fedora Master]

In a just world anyone admitting to playing this would be banned.

 

[covr]

lol, I thought that they are playing D3.

What a fucking joke!

 

[covr]

So I've checked some random D3 video on yt taken from Xbox series X and D3 looks better: less floating numbers, names, warnings, etc.

 

[Dadd]

Reminder to cancel your pre-orders

yea it did look a bit too much like D3..

Live to Win, till you die, till your arteries clog with chicken fat.

And yeah I thought it was Diablo 3 as well.

 

[Reinhardt]

GOTHIC HORROR!

 

[covr]

Almost 3k comments under the video, almost no positive ones. 'Refund' seems to be the most common word. Good!

 

[Suicidal]

Anyone here actually expected it NOT to look like a cheap mobile game? It's modern day Blizzard, after all.

I hopped on Twitch last night to see if I could find anyone talking about it

Found one dude, commented that it looked like Diablo Immortal, lots of other commentors were saying the same thing

His response was something like 'great, then it'll be familiar to me'
