Diablo IV

[Arbiter]

Also it might be uncompressed, since its a developer build basically.

It is unlikely that demo and retail use different asset pipelines. This is a 10 year old Diablo 3 engine after all, not some work in progress.

Having to wait in a queue so random strangers can pollute your 'solo' gaming experience.
Fuck this shit.

A small consolation: You can deactivate crossplay, to filter away the console plebs. That means no niggers, women, potheads, etc. PC-gamers are much less likely to use flashy gay cosmetics.

Where are you seeing that? I wouldn't mind giving this a try without having to use 85GB of space.

You have an option to modify install and uncheck hd textures.

I haven't played Diablo since D2 back in the day.

Why is there a queue?
Why is the HUD so huge?
Why is the text and font so basic, like a kids game?
Why is the minimap so huge?
Why is the map already revealed with no fog of war?
Why is the camera so god damn zoomed in?
Why are the graphics so underwhelming?
Why does it feel like a mobile game?
Why is the music so laughably bad?
Why was everyone a girl on the character select screen?
Why is the iconic coin pickup sound so bland?

Is this what people actually like now?

Since it's free to try, I downloaded it and gave it a spin.

Uninstalled half an hour later. Irredeemable garbage, and on top of everything it runs terribly. I've got a 5800X3D and a 3070 with latest drivers, and it's non-stop stutter whenever the game is loading any assets. Laughable. Honestly it looks worse than D2 Resurrected.

People are paying 100USD for this. You get exactly what you deserve.

Better this than Starfield No Man's Sky on the Gamebryo engine.

Don't worry, there'll be no queues at release, because no one buys those shitty Blizzard games ...

 

[sosmoflux]

Why are all my minions lagging around like the internet is broken?
Why does the game keep crashing?
Why is my 64gb RAM & 3080 not enough to stop "running out of memory"?
Why do I HAVE to see other players in my single player game?
Why are the animations so generic like they're from an asset store?
Why is Lilith so lame and not even sexy despite being based around "sin"?
Why do items all take up the same amount of inventory space?
Why are quests "level locked" like it's a grindy mobile game?
Why is the game logo so shit?
Why does levelling up feel so unsatisfying?
Why is the next sequel/iteration in an iconic game series just some slapped together genre piece clone offering nothing new?
WHY IS THE CAMERA SO ZOOMED IN?

I don't get how people are being positive about this game. This is genuinely bad.

 

[Reinhardt]

it's shit.
even worse than "no progression" is "no goal". usually you have some short range goal for your acshun rpg game session - reach next waypoint, gain new level, whatever. here you just running around, doing some retarded "events" and killing respawning monsters. why? what you want to achieve? you are not even getting dopamine hit from getting stronger.

 

[Rahdulan]

Is it possible they overcorrected from D3's bright colors and neon lighting into veritable brown and bloom territory? It's like Skyrim was their foremost visual guideline.

Don't you guys have SSD's?

 

[ADL]

Why do I HAVE to see other players in my single player game?

Who told you it was? It has more in common with games like World of Warcraft and Guild Wars 2 than previous Diablo games as it steers directly into MMO-lite territory.

 

[Fedora Master]

I don't get how people are being positive about this game. This is genuinely bad.

It's a tell, like having an anime avatar, that the poster in question is irredeemably spastic.

 

[Wirdschowerdn]

After playing my Necro to Lvl 11, I came to the conclusion that this game is even blander and less fun than D3.



Is this getting any better?

Compared to D3 act1 this is way superior.
We even got new "Decard Cain"
But D3 also got more boring and retarded with each act so it will be hard to compare with D4 until full release

 

[Daedalos]

Necro feels great

 

[ArchAngel]

Necro feels great

Necro seems very powerful damage wise but I am having fun with shapeshifting Druid even if it is clunky.
I am still trying to figure out how to use Fortify.

 

[ItsChon]

Should I even bother downloading the beta? Anyone have any day one impressions?

 

[Yosharian]

PLayed for a bit this morning. The presentation is truly awesome. I decided to go for Druid because Necro seems OP and everyone is using it. Having fun so far.

 

[Dadd]

Cucks

 

[Storyfag]

Why do items all take up the same amount of inventory space?

Oh those two sound like fun. Also respect for the franchise, y'all.

 

[sosmoflux]

I entered a Cellar area or something and it said something like "There's usually a variety of content in Cellars".
What the actual fuck. Immersion killshot.

 

[Arbiter]

it's non-stop stutter whenever the game is loading any assets

The game is poorly coded. I saw Windows busy cursor several times which proves that the main thread that should be processing input events as fast as possible is busy doing some heavy work.
