Diablo IV

[Skinwalker]

One thing I discovered is that the time of day inside the game is tied to real time. Every hour of real time it switches from day to night or vice versa, although you have to reload the overworld map by fast travel/exiting a dungeon/logging in and out to see the change.

Kind of a weird way to do it, but it's yet another consequence of the game not having an offline mode. I would have preferred if you could change the time in-game at the inn or whatever, as the visuals are really nice, and it's best to see them during daytime.

I officially passed the $100 mark in purchased shop items. I didn't feel bad about it until I realized the chest piece from the new set I bought didn't mix as well as I'd hoped with the other cosmetics I've been using. It's a bummer. I kind of want to die. But on the bright side I still have 1800 platimum points to spend. Don't drink and play games like this. My advice to everybody.

You are a perfect example of why this hobby is dead. They lured you in with nostalgia and FOMO, waited for you to get drunk, and then set the hook. There are guys like you spending thousands of dollars on these 'cosmetics', and it only takes a few of you to wreck the entire hobby for the rest of us. I'm not blaming you, because I know you can't help it. I just think it's really sad for all involved.

Thing that baffles me here is D4 cosmetics aren't even good. There are games that do a really good job of making cosmetics so amazing looking even the skeptical feel conned into buying them. But... that sure aren't D4, they all look hideous.

I guess for some people if something is available to buy, they'll just buy it. No matter what it is.

Hey, man, at least he's not wasting his cash on hookers and crack, you know what I'm sayin'?

That he wouldn't know a good time if it bit him in the ass?

I really liked when you conjured this huge fire snake in the first video.

That's basically the sorce's nuke attack. It's pretty badass. Once upgraded it sucks enemies in and gives you infinite mana while it's active. Has like a 40 second cooldown though.

 

[KIss My Ass]

Oh I eventually got wrecked in pvp. A lvl 77 barbarian came along and destroyed me. I was only 61 so my attacks were like spitwads to him, that fuckin prick.

Can you teabag in this game?

Big 4 day weekend coming up! I'm going to attempt to play for 96 hours straight. I need to reach endgame. Gonna need a couple coolers full of beer, possibly some drugs like speed to stay awake and a bucket to piss and shit in. I'm going full hardcore gamer starting tomorrow night.

grow up

grow up

This is him grown up. When he was a kid he did the same but without beers

 

[KIss My Ass]

grow up

I am grown up. I'm a working class tax paying citizen which means I can do whatever I want. I really do need to find some speed though. Omg Diablo 4 on adderall would be fucking amazing.

Currently trying to contact some of my old drug dealers.

You need help.

That ship sailed long ago.

Is SDG the only person here who likes D4?

 

[Frank Capicoli]

Looks like Liberal does too. So not a shock our two most brain damaged regulars love this game.

 

[Zlaja]

For SDG and some others who aren't paying enough attention: you can turn off your char's annoying sound messages when they don't have enough resource to use their core skill, by going to "sounds" and scrolling all the way down.

 

[PorkyThePaladin]

Lots of people like Diablo IV. It's a good game within the inherently limited clicker subgenre.

 

[luj1]

it is super dumbed down from D2, how can it be a good hack n slash?

basically its more similar to D3 reskin than anything.

Nah. It's much closer to D2 than it is D3.

 

[luj1]

gameplay wise mate, not visually

 

[PorkyThePaladin]

It's actually more complex in many ways than Diablo 2.

There are more builds, more skills, more shit to invest points into and customize, more shit to do, more stuff to mess around with.

Obviously it's also far better graphically, physics-wise, etc.

Where it's worse than Diablo 2 is atmosphere, MMO type shit, and some design decisions (like merging all armor types into one).

It would take some real mental gymnastics to try and explain how D2 is more complex. The argument just ain't there. D4 also has like a hundred more late game activities. D2 had Baal runs and...

Gotta disagree with the atmosphere though. I think it's similar enough to D2.

 

[Zlaja]

Where it's worse than Diablo 2 is atmosphere

I don't agree here. Atmosphere wise D4 is pretty good (despite seeing other players running around at times), and let's also not forget that D2 was a big step down from the amazing atmosphere of D1.

Where D2 does shine though is itemization. Its unique type of gear had more identity (fixed stats), than the rather generic higher tier loot of D4.

I could see staying up with friends, playing the game, getting drunk and *defecating* in a normal bathroom and/or peeing off a balcony. But is this the way you want your parents to find your corpse? Alone, ass stuck in a bucket, dead for a week, computer on, with an uncleared search history?

what a better way to go for a true gamer?

 

[Daemongar]

what a better way to go for a true gamer?

Surrounded by friends, not shitting in a bucket? Does 2020's gaming = celibacy, depression, and self degradation?!
