Diablo IV

[PorkyThePaladin]

Haven't read all the whining the last few pages cause I was too busy playing the game. Now, once you put aside the fact that Diablo-type games are inherently limited (hacking and slashing gets boring after a while), Diablo IV is quite gud.

It's much more interesting mechanically than Diablo 2, and much better aesthetically (atmosphere, writing, graphics, physics, animations, art design) than Path of Exile. The difficulty curve is also good, not too easy (like PoE on normal difficulty), not too crazy difficult until you get into later world tiers and challenges.

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.

It might. As for now it isn't.
Since it isn't an early access game, I don't care for ifs and whens. If it gets obnoxious, I'll get vocal and probably stop playing by then. I'm not married to the game.
And it's not like they can make me spend money.

nigga, codex is as popamole as it gets. more pipo played d4 than kotc2 here.

Dunno what's everyone else's excuse, but I tried playing rpgs post 2000 and my conclusion to date is I don't seem to like rpgs.
And yep, Diablo never was one as far as I am concerned.

Codex and "the gaming community" are so different.

Nope, it is infinetely less popamole than 99.9% of gaming subreddits if we use your metrics because 0 people there played KotC2 or even heard of its existence.

 

[KIss My Ass]

Not at launch. It was added with the adventure mode later. D3 was better designed game before Jay Wilson left.

Fuck that loser.

 

[Crispy]

Also what should the label be?

Is "Pathetic" on option?

 

[PorkyThePaladin]

Ah, Crispy vs SDG, just like old times on shoutbox.

 

[Crispy]

Well, I mean come on! Really?

 

[Silverfish]

TFW you will never be a Dark Souls 2 connosuer.

 

[Modron]

You wouldn't just go online and slander the codex's reputation in the description of your guild in casual popular game number 452457 would you?

 

[Skinwalker]

Should I play Diablo 4, yes or no?

 

[PorkyThePaladin]

You liberal? No. But it's a fun game.

 

[Crispy]

A connosuer sounds like someone who accidentally dropped a hair dryer into their bathtub and almost died from it.

 

[PorkyThePaladin]

Well, I mean come on! Really?

Still smarting from telling me Internet should be spelled with a lowercase i, KangCrispy decides to compensate by having a spelling contest with an alcoholic. Tsk tsk.

This will be my last truly off-topic post ITT, but,

In its generic sense, "internet" is a common noun, a synonym for internetwork; therefore, it has a plural form (first appearing in the RFC series RFC 870, RFC 871 and RFC 872) and is not capitalized.

It's perfect for you, Liberal. You will be an excellent subordinate to SDG. His television is just *aching* for you to hold it.

 

[Skinwalker]

I have no intention of doing multiplayer, you senile retard. I'm asking (different people, not you or fatky) if the game itself is worth playing.

For you? Absolutely, just make sure you play offline to avoid the multi-player crap and you should be golden.

 

[Skinwalker]

Or mediocreposter.

 

[Desiderius]

Sometimes, but he's usually pretty good.

I'm curious about this game. Werglia needs to get back on his nicotine.

Should I play Diablo 4, yes or no?

If you're serious about ARPGs I would say no. There isn't a lot of meat on the bone and the game needs loads of balance patches just to feel right. People on the fence should wait a few months IMO.

If you're a casual/newcomer to ARPGs you might have a decent time playing through the campaign once.

I am not a casual or newcomer and I'm having a blast.

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

Third option: the retards who still think level scaling is bad in the year of our lord 2023. I like being able to go back through every zone in The Elder Scrolls Online and do the thousands of quests I missed during the initial leveling experience. I like being able to play with friends who started the game five minutes ago rather than telling them that they're going to have to play for a couple hundred hours without me and hit level 140 before they can clear the content I'm clearing. Meanwhile in games like World of Warcraft you're either in Dragonflight zones at endgame or you're a walking demigod that one-shots everything and it's completely inaccessible to anyone who hasn't played it like a second job. How delusional does one have to be to think that's a good thing?

If you're gonna have leveled content, make the level cap super low like lv20 where it's basically a tutorial and the majority of the base game and all updates and expansions that come afterwards are entirely endgame-focused. Guild Wars did it right almost twenty years ago and Everquest/World of Warcraft has been doing it wrong for even longer. How much more of this skinner box bullshit are you guys gonna take before you people realize it's not good for anyone and makes the games you love worse? All those zones. All those quests flushed down the fucking toilet for completely arbitrary reasons.

 

[ADL]

Level scaling and horizontal progression systems are incline. At least in games that you're supposed to play for hundreds or thousands of hours. Btw Diablo 2 would've been infinitely better with level scaling in place but go stroke your cock to the nostalgia of running Baal a thousand times over because you had nothing else to do you room temp IQ boomer nerds.

 

[Skinwalker]

To be clear, everyone who's bitching about this game supposedly being shit has already paid their seventy shekels for it. You must have, because it's an online-only game that hasn't been cracked.

Either that, or you have no personal experience to validate your negativity. Pick your poison.

You also said the game is shit. If the game was actually good that thought would have never crossed your mind.
