Diablo IV

[zerotol]

The biggest problem for me is how generic mmorpg (barf) this looks.

diablo 2 resurrected is going to be superior on every front

Never understood this argument toward Diablo. I mean D2 was literally posterboy for multiplayer ARPG and overall multi for ARPGs is important as seen by pretty much every arpg outthere.

Leaving aside validity of feature itself as someone that likes to play alone from my own testing it doesn't really change anything. Meat of the game is in dungeons, map is just a way to travel to those dungeons. Moreover it is not like whole map is multi, just zones of it are. None of those are required to be completed from my experience.

As for interaction with it itself from my own experience they are fine. Kind of like breathers from constant grinding while you traveling to next dungeon. They are often varied and don't really provide much loot. Tried that world boss fight but imho it was boring or at least that one was boring and just skipped it.

You could perfectly play D2 as solo self found in single player which i did

I mean you could and I mostly did but D2 legacy is battlenet, trading, pvp, coop and so on. It's literally the game that started online stuff for arpgs.

I could have sworn they said they were not allowing for that by pumping up enemy armor values to keep damage numbers low.

Doesn’t matter. At $70 + battle pass this is a wait for a deep sale game for me. My prediction is that players will tear into this game regarding high level balance across specs and classes. You aren’t going to play how you want, in the end.

Do they even put their games on sale ever ?

I bought D2:R for $13 recently on sale. Only knew it was on sale from someone here mentioning it.

Blizzard: It's not like Diablo Immortal. Pinky swear!

 

[Fedora Master]

Don't you guys have money??

 

[Kem0sabe]

30$ for a cosmetic armor set... And the horse armor price is even more hilarious. Blizzard can't help themselves but try to milk this from day 1, they know they will break 10 million sales in less than a month.

diablo 2 resurrected is going to be superior on every front

in recent patches it was heavily casualised. you can break immunities easily and other shit

not to mention several iffy animations inferior to the original

real old school gamers play neither d4 nor d2r, they play modded d2

Earlier today the game had 1 million concurrent viewers on Twitch. Decline enablers win again

Fixed that for you.

I've never understood the mindset of anyone who pays for cosmetics. By their very nature games are transient things that will eventually be replaced by the next big thing so spending real money on something that will be irrelevant or even inaccessible a short time into the future and has no meaningful impact on gameplay doesn't seem like a good investment to me.

FOMO

There's a reason why the game is an MMO and you see other people zipping by on their 20 dollar horse armour or 30 dollar cosmetic set

Funny though what they think makes them look special makes me think they're idiots...I guess I should be grateful for those suckers for subsidising game support for the rest of us.

Alot of us grew up with Diablo. Eat a penis.

I hadn't looked into this game at all. Hilarious that they made D a tranny.

Fools and their money are easily seperated

Monkey brain likes shiny thing, and so will pay for brand clothing, phones with that specific kind of bevel, cars and yes, gaming cosmetics too.

I played D1 and D2 on release and loved them (1 much more than 2). But that was a lifetime ago and nu Blizzard isn't remotely comparable.

D4 is games-as-a-service, whale-milking, rainbow-peddling goyslop. Not worth 2 seconds of my time.

In real life, majority of people compete for social status by getting stuff others don't have. It doesn't matter if the stuff is useful or useless, actually, useless is even better as it shows you have resources to throw away. In games there are economies to get to rare things, some do it by grinding or skill, but that's few people and rather than spend money, they grind. The more difficult to get the thing, the more valuable. What is an economy that allows the crowds to compete on status, that makes money for the company? Just pay for something rare, whatever that is. The more expensive, the better it does the job of gaining you status with the crowd. Buy to impress.
