Diablo IV

BTW, why is this thread still under General RPG, while Diablo 3 thread is under MMO?

I don't think I've seen anybody acknowledge this, but this game has the finest horse riding mechanics I've ever seen and it needs to be said.

When you take the trolling 1000 steps too far.

I'm not trolling. Riding horses in games is usually something I dread. It always feels sluggish. It's like a chore. Not so here.

Sacred has decent mounted combat.

You can also pick up items while mounted. That's pretty huge. In Totk you have to dismount evertime you walk to pick up an item. I can't remember if it was like that in Witcher 3 or Elden Ring but D4 has that shit locked down tight. You pick up things just as you would on foot.

You're not wrong about that part. But have you ever tried something like Mount & Blade?

You know SDG doesn't play pc games.

It is on consoles now. I tried it on gamepass on Xbox X.. it was too hard to play with controller so I kind of gave up.. doing anything on horseback was terrible as I cannot aim for shit with stupid controllers.

Still not an RPG

Lol yeah some of these stronghold bosses are just bogus. You need a party to beat some of them. It's a joke. Like Rashka and the Kor Dragan dude, once they start summoning enemies it's game over solo. Not even a case of git good. Just retarded game design. I lowered the world tier and I still can't beat Rashka.

I melt them solo on world tier 4 , you need better items and build. Same for nightmare dungeons no issues at all. You need uniques and build centered around them.

I saw him stream playing D4 the other day. He was so engaged in it gripping gameplay he kept rambling about random non D4 related shit all the time

What's the name of his "design philosophy"?
NFA - "No Fun Allowed"?

Yeah I realized that sticking around in the lower tiers is just making things more difficult in the long run. When I get off work tonight I'm beelining through the main quest and doing the capstone dungeon. I wish I had done that before level 50. Now I'm going to being facing stronger monsters with subpar gear.

The level scaling can be fixed if it becomes that big of an issue.

It's better to rush the main campaign and go tier 3 as plenty of uniques drop in the hell waves , and nightmare dungeons, sidequests bring nothing most often.

So it can win codex GOTY, of course!

It will be a true codex popcorn eating experience if Diablo beats outs BG3, Starfield or Colony Ship.

 

[KIss My Ass]

Where did all this BG3 award buzz come from all of a sudden? I haven't seen anyone here say a single good thing about it. Diablo 4 should be the front runner atm.

This is RPG Codex, not ARPG Codex.

ffs

Then why did Elden Ring win hm? Because it was the best, that's why. The "a" at the beginning of rpg matters not.

Sure, but what you didn't realize is that RP stands for Rape & Pillage. Diablo IV prominently features barbarians.

Because, frankly, all the Codexers are as disgusting as the monsters in Elden Ring. It's a matter of fraternity or something.

Okay, you got me.

I'm leaving this place forever, starting now. Bye.

 

[NecroLord]

This shit counts as an RPG now?
Diablo was a dungeon crawler with a dark atmosphere that had RPG elements, but never was a legit, one hundred percent one.

 

[KIss My Ass]

Diablo 4 is more of a RPG than Elden Ring, just saying. Much deeper on the skills and stats front.

 

[Lovely Feather Pillow]

Diablo IV will be forgotten by the time GOTY rolls around.
