Diablo IV

[KIss My Ass]

Lol noob. I have never bought a PC that was ready to use. It was always get parts and get it working myself.
Although I have to admit I have not done that for 7 years or so as gaming PCs are a luxury now.

That is not something I'd go around bragging about.

I am not bragging about the second part. But that is reality over here since globohomo started their 2020 plan of removing Trump from office with their plandemic and continued with war. PC part prices went through the roof along with all the basic living expenses.
In few years when things go back to 2019 levels I will get my next PC.

Man, quit being a paranoiac, it doesn't take a galaxy brain to know prices went through the roof because of cryptomining and other related bullshit.

GPUs yes but everything else also went up due to chip shortage. And then rise of energy prices and people making weapons instead of useful stuff made everything go up even more.

Well, you're not wrong...

(Ironically I think I've played more ZDoom on this thing than XCOM 2 by this point, at least up until recently. Go figure.)

and the other being that the regular gear in the game is both bland and lacks variety on purpose to borderline force people into buying more stuff

This hasn't been true in years. All unique armours have dedicated 3D art now.

If you're at the stage in the game where you're actually bothered by the looks of your character and have exhausted the possible combinations via the very affordable skin transfer system (0.5-1$ per skin) AND you're still unwilling to buy one of the supporter packs that comes with a full set and a bunch of points to spend, then you're a cheap ass nigga.

 

[Dadd]

Billie Eilish for trailer music huh
guess that tells you everything you need to know about Diablo IV

Yet there isn't a single hucow in the game.. curious.

They're all extraordinarily ugly

W-wait, am I reading this right? Diablo 4 has LEVEL SCALING?! What idiot would come up with an idea that is basically an antithesis to the genre?

After skipping WOW-clone called D3 I was interested in trying this one, but I guess PoE continues to reign supreme in the genre.

 

[KIss My Ass]

Level scaling is indeed ass cancer. It ruins everything. This is why From Software is the GOAT. They don't resort to such rookie game design. Dragon's Dogma didn't have it either, or Diablo 1&2. All the greatest RPGs have this in common. Conan Exiles = doesn't have level scaling.

skyrim disagrees

 

[abija]

D3 had lvl scaling for 10 years and now it's a surprise D4 has it... somehow.

Skyrim is a shitty boring game.

Nobody here played D3. We do not scale to your level.

so perfect example of greatest rpg

 

[Daedalos]

Well, on the bright side, after you're finished your scatophagous journey through nu-Sanctuary, you can use the card to play something good.

Well that was the plan. 2023 is PACKED with good shit

So why bother with desaturated D3?

Well I personally never gave D3 a chance since it could never live up to D1 and D2, especially coming what, a decade after D2, and also the initial gameplay videos looked super off. D4 we had the cinematic video before we had any gameplay footage so there was some optimism and wishful thinking. You might think the devs would at least borrow some of the mechanics and innovations that worked well in PoE.

 

[abija]

They borrowed plenty from PoE. They started with a D3 core, went "grimdark" in appearance, then threw in a kitchen sink of various burrowed ideas.

For example: Atlas Gateways – nodes on the Atlas Passive Tree that allow instant travel between two locations. -> paragon boards connectors

Is this shit? My dad is going to play w/friends and me if I decide to get it. Watched a video and it seems very deterministic in regards to items and skills. Can monsters posit unique challenges and how is class variety?

I am not, I just tried it for free when it was offered.

I was disappointed with the server slam beta and find it unbelievable it's being released in this state. I played a Druid, you basically choose a basic (free attack skill) and a mana cost attack skill, a defensive skill, and then a couple of attacks on cooldown. But the skills are not fun at all and even the animal companion skills feel anemic. The enemies are zombie trash mobs with basic simple AI no different than PoE and the bosses are just dodge patterns and hp sponges just like PoE. We basically only played the first act but there were only two tilesets- a snowy tundra overworld and a mine/ cavern dungeon, with no real distinguishing landmarks like mountains, forests or rivers.
