Classic Codex thread, 75% bitching about the game they don't even play.

Should I play Diablo 4, yes or no?

Totally. Join us in celebrating that we're finally being included by playing the druid class.

Furries?

Or we played it for 20+ hours during multiple beta weekends and release version is not much different based on many comments and reviews on the net

So D4 haters are mostly beta-males?

 

[abija]

You got Alzheimer's or something? I'm not repeating myself go and read several pages back where this was covered.

Hope not, but you didn't really make any coherent point. It's all ramble around "not like D2 -> bad" sprinkled with tons of hyperbole.

Its a good game. Seems like a genuine try to unfuck D3, like someone mentioned. Not perfect, mind you, but good.

Not to sound spoiled, but not only is that a rather long video, but also the host is... well, he has a way of not getting to the point. Could you perhaps summarise what your point is?

bu bu but they played the weekend beta. They are paragons of D4 knowledge and the utmost authority when discussing it's quality. Those of us who have been playing it for weeks don't know shit.

Indeed, let's check the words of the expert authority after his weeks of experience. Certainly it will bring magnificent insights not brought up during the beta periods.

Ya know what? Maybe this game really is a giant piece of shit. I'm starting to constantly feel weaker with each level up. The game is literally getting harder the "stronger" I get. I'm dieing alot now. That's a very big problem.

SDG isnt a learning animal.

What the hell what I supposed to learn? I've literally never seen a game use this kind of "level scaling".

Lmao i'm lvl 42 and just now realized I have two passive enchantment slots I haven't been using the ENTIRE time. Jesus. That sure would have helped.

I'm also still using level 20 equipment and below. Been nerfing the shit out of myself the entire time without knowing it.

Oh wow this changes everything. No wonder why I was getting my shit pushed in. I can actually steamroll mobs now. Cool.

I don't have the patience for these fucking stronghold bosses. They soak up too much damage, the fight can go on for 10-15 minutes. Dieing when you have the faggot almost dead is the most deflating thing ever. Then you go back in and half ass the fight and die quicker because you know you have to suffer through 10-15 more minutes of kiting tedium. Fuck these things. Why are they always scaled 2 levels above you? I hope blizzard goes bankrupt.

No idea what's in the video but imagine someone took poe maps and forced them to have 2 distinct quests each you need to complete in order to progress, out of a list of 10 (20 tops) quests.

In d3 vanilla campaign you didn't have the zones set to a level like in PoE, you had a linear campaign where monster scaled to your level if you were in that difficulty's range (1-30, 30-50, 50-60? maybe, don't remember exactly). Inferno had special scaling of 61 act1, 62 act2, 63 act3+4 with very high differences each lvl.

Not true and that's easy to check because you can still play vanilla version of D3 on PS3 which does not have the level scaling. Every area had it's set level which did not change. The only modifier was the difficulty setting which would bumb the levels up one time per difficulty to all areas across the board. So on Normal, if area had mobs of level 1-5 (and mobs of levels 1-5 would spawn, not all scaled to 5 when you hit 5) then that area on Nightmare would be say, 20-25. None of the mobs scaled dynamically based on your level.

It is shit. Even worse it is boring casual woke shit.
Good news is that it took them only 10 years to turn D3 from shit into average so just wait 10 years and D4 might also become not shit.

I did, for about 20+ hours. Tried everyone but Rogue.

Well thats a shame really. Played about 30ish hours now, taking it slow with Necro, lvl 49 now.
Tbh im positively suprised. Dunno how it is going to be long term but if i get about 100ish hours out of it il consider it worthwhile

 

[Skinwalker]

Ok, I'm going to give D4 a shot. I'll let everyone know whether the game is good or shit, and my opinion will be the decisive one to end all further discussions about its quality, forever.

What nationality is this guy? Russian? Polish?

It's a game, you idiot. I find it funny your rig is barely capable of maintaining what looks like 40fps in it, too. You would think making all these videos would afford you a better PC.

 

[Tyrr]

so just wait 10 years and D4 might also become not shit

10 years full of season passes, paid expansions and microtransactions.

 

[Takamori]

Basically 1-65 experience is good. Until World Tier 3 the game has some reasoning in the progress.
World Tier 4 is a waste of time, unless you enjoy doing something that I could classify worst then GRifts.
Its a 1 week experience, fast food content. Not worth the 90 bucks, not worth the 70 bucks either.

He is right. From D2 and beyond most shops were close enough to not need more than 10s of travelling.
D4 is a walking/riding simulator
Imagine playing a FPS where you spent 70% time in inventory/shops/skills screens

You guys know that it’s perfectly normal to have a guilty pleasure game that you play even though it’s crappy right? It’s not necessary to scramble into dorky debate club mode to try and weasel out a scenario where the desiccated husk of what used to be Blizzard produced something that isn’t the gaming equivalent of plain oatmeal. It’s corporate-produced slop made to keep you sedated enough so that, over time, buying pretty little outfits for your fantasy man maybe doesn’t seem like such a ridiculous idea after all.

Nice post retard but this is a forum where we discuss and analyse games. If you have no interest in autistically breaking down the game then post your fat druid outfit on reddit ty.

Autistically breaking down game mechanics sounds great, instead half the thread is DOES THIS HAVE BLACK PEOPLE MOMMY OMG and the other half is the one guy who's playing the game but has zero idea how anything in the game works whatsoever

 

[Jenkem]

Skinwalker so how is the game?

The majority of my time with the game was spent being intoxicated, from the entire early access period up until I was around level 40 so I missed alot of important details in the game. I've been playing with a clear mind these past few days and have discovered alot of mechanics that I missed during my pickled periods, hence my retarded rants. That was not the game's fault. It was my fault for being a drunken retard.

 

[PorkyThePaladin]

The game is good (for a Diablo type game).

Unlike Diablo 2, after you complete the campaign, you don't do it over in harder difficulty worlds. You just complete it once, by level 50 or so, and then once you move on to harder difficulty worlds, you do whatever tickles your pickle and try to level up to 99.

At first, I thought this would lack focus, but there is more than enough shit to keep you engaged. You can continue mapping out the world, completing various dungeons, etc, or you start getting sigils that turn regular dungeons into harder versions (with better loot) for one run, so you can run these nightmare dungeons, or you can do quests for whispering tree, which gives you a lot of XP and special loot, or you can join Helltides, which are temporary invasions by extra aggressive mobs in larger numbers, and whatever drops you collect from them you can exchange for high end loot (the drops don't last past the invasion so you gotta spend them), or you can join other players in fighting world bosses, or you can do PvP, and there is probably other crap I don't know about yet.
