so how bad is this and did they ape path of exile

It is d3.5 but with less features and some terrible design decisions (like level scaling).

wow thats worse than i imagined

It even has Cain level stupid death in main story, probably even worse..

He's full of poop. It is better than D3 in every way, except for the level scaling which is indeed asshole cancer.

Recruitment has officially opened for the kodex klan. PM me if interested.



Also what should the label be? The options are casual, hardcore, pve, pvp, leveling, and social.

Case in point:



This is why I'm the fucking leader of this crew.

Not going to click on the video, but I'm just wondering if anyone can possibly be a pro elite anything if he records his screen using a vertical cell phone.

D3 had level scaling.

You're not invited into the clan.

It is not. D3 has more classes, less buggy, more itemization, stable servers and you can probably get it cheaper with all expansions. Gameplay is very similar and story is slightly better in D4. Only thing direcly superior in D4 is less colors

D3 is 13 years old you fucking mongoloid. D4 is 1 week old.

D4 is a new game to experiment with and figure out, however long that lasts.

(Servers are the same, why even bring that up. D4 launch was a lot better from that point of view.)

It's pretty good for a semi-serious run up to Lv.70ish and finishing campaign, most sidequests, most 'regular' non-end game dungeons and experiencing SOME of the end game on tier 3. But, apparently it gets stale during the last stretch, where both the end game content and itemization is not quite compelling enough.

So you are saying Blizzard at least learned one lesson in 10 years?
Also they were still shit at non early realse from what SDG whined about.

That is not a argument in your favor.

The paragon board unlocked at level 50 is basically PoE skill tree, even has a little bit of gem levelling sprinkled in.
I think the dodge charges system is largely lifted from Wolcen (but also expanded on), but Wolcel is heavily inspired by D3, so it gets a bit fuzzy.
The rest feels like an honest attempt to unfuck D3.

You will see plenty of PoE inspired stuff on the map. In the swamp region you get a settlement called Exile's Heap, the entire coastline is riddled with wrecks
which are highly reminiscent of Ship's Graveyard and I'm pretty positive that the background theme in the druid stronghold was at least inspired by the PoE track.

It's not as bad, as long as you set your expectations correct. If you're looking for PoE-like depth... just go play PoE if you still can stomach it.
As far as I am concerned, the worst two thing is the main story (beat it once to unlock everything, especially the horse is a lifesaver,
then always skip for all new characters, the game clicked well into place once I did) and enemy variety isn't great. They overlap a lot in most regions
and very few of them stand out.

Regardless of how "good" it is, it's still an always online cash shop platform. This means buying it and thus becoming part of the problem of modern gaming.

 

[KIss My Ass]

My last oorah before i shut the the game off and sleepy time. Not pretty and boring to watch but perfection isnt always glamorous. I did what needed done.

D3 had level scaling.

Not at launch. It was added with the adventure mode later. D3 was better designed game before Jay Wilson left and retarded stuff like level scaling, billions of damage, toughness, smart loot etc. were later introduced.

 

[abija]

Nope, no concept of enemy level. Their number of affixes was based on your level for example.
Feel free to provide a list of level ranges for the 3 campaigns per zone, maybe I'm wrong. In inferno they were split symbolically by acts 61, 62, 63.

Regardless of how "good" it is, it's still an always online cash shop platform. This means buying it and thus becoming part of the problem of modern gaming.

For one thing, it's definitely overpriced and I admit I hesitated.
Could this money be better spent elsewhere? Probably. But I've already played everything else that's worthwhile in the genre.

Cash shop is just cosmetics, same as with PoE, I have no problem buying exactly nothing from the cash shop.
If anything, PoE shop was much more in your face with daily deals being displayed on login page.
It's not even that intrusive in D4. And generally speaking it's nowhere near the cancer that D3 auction house was.
If you're looking for something to bitch about, this one isn't it (but there are a few, I'll see if I make time to write something closer to a review).

I seriously doubt that when the battle pass launches it won't be in your face. And as with pretty much any product like this, if sales are good integrity and initial promises will be kept. If not, actual dev time will be moved to more promising prospects and milking will be pushed to max, at any cost.

What's worse to the gaming community: wokism or level scaling?

Codex and "the gaming community" are so different. Things that are bad to "the gaming community" are probably not enough achievements and not enough inklusifity for transes and grils. I actually googled what reddit dislikes about gaming and they said they hate being constantly told to stop preordering things, and hate all the complaining about bugs and minor issues.
