Diablo IV

[Skinwalker]

I switched back to poison imbue because the chill/freeze bonuses don't work on bosses until they're staggered.

Yeah, but I haven't encountered any actually difficult bosses since the shadow of Elias in the capstone dungeon. Not counting the Butcher and that bug demon that appears during helltides.

Even since I entered WT4 ten-fifteen levels too early, elite trios have been the biggest challenge (esp. the ones that shoot flames in every cardinal direction), and they're becoming increasing less of an issue as I wisely invest my paragon points.

 

[KIss My Ass]

How many bosses are there? (Google said 20) I wish these games focused on battles like that.

Pretty sure there's a lot more than 20 if you include the regular dungeons, strongholds, and world bosses. The best fights are all in the campaign and Strongholds. I can't remember half of their names. Astaroth was a cool fight.

720p and 30fps or less and long load times are beautiful to you?

None of this is even remotely true. It's a PS4, not PS3. There would have to be at least 5 exclusives on PS5 that I really want to play before I would even considered buying it. So far, there's only one: Demon Souls remake, and a possible second one: Final Fantasy 16. That doesn't warrant five hundred dolals.

You don't buy the PS5 for PS5 exclusives gaming.

It's a decent 4k HDR bluray player, that also has a fair amount of PCIe 4.0 storage that you can play a bit on as well, it really is competetive in it's price range as a 4k player. It can't do Dolby Vision, but Samsung TVs can't as well so that doesnt matter for me. But in picture clarity alone it does a good job for standard HDR 10bit and supports Dobly Atmos playback. It offloads PCIe 4.0 storage space from my pc gaming rig.

It plays older laggy games like Bloodborne at a decent framerate. The controller is super, DSr really uses it well, driving games use the adaptive triggers well for throttle and break. Singleplayer remakes like Death Stranding, Witcher 3 and Greedfall got good "next-gen" patches that take a fair amount of storage but plays really well on a controller, and the PS5 has an excellent controller.

I bought a PS5 because its cheaper than a gaming PC to toss in the living room.

 

[Skinwalker]

Damn Sony shills got their marching orders, I see.

It's not just exclusives. Better multiplats, upgraded versions of PS4 games, etc. $500 is nothing considering there are dipshits who spend over a thousand dollars on graphics cards for their PC, basically just so they can brag that they did it. If $500 is alot of money to you then you must live in a 3rd world country.

 

[Skinwalker]

It's not that $500 is a lot of money, it's that I'm not a manchild with no impulse control, buying products he doesn't need.

We're just trying to help you. Do you still game on one of the old plasma televisions as well?

Hey SDG I don't mean to post off-topic stuff in your thread but do you think you're going to abandon Diablo IV once BG3 comes out?

 

[KIss My Ass]

Jump into a airplane turbine crispy. And I'm not into beastiality or gay porn so I will not be purchasing BG3.

 

[Crispy]

I guess we won't be doing a cross-platform bro-op then.

Sorry will be too busy clapping cheeks in Coonwood tomorrow.

 

[KIss My Ass]

I'm not playing a twisted porn game with a 70 year old man. If you want to play a real RPG game I'll always be in D4.

 

[Grampy_Bone]

My last video card (RTX 2070 super) only cost $700 thank you very much, and the CPU, RAM, and MB are from 2014 and still running great. It's the third video card and second full set of hard drives I've put in it. About $2500 over almost ten years ain't bad, and no sign of slowing, still plays everything like Cyberpunk and Dying Light 2 just fine. Would have gotten D4 on PC eventually but as I said, wife bought it as a present, and she doesn't know how to do Steam gifts.

So, you're avoiding Crispy by staying in D4 since Crispy wants to play real RPGs?

That's a pretty solid strategy, tbh.

 

[Skinwalker]

Crispy wants to play real RPGs?

Like Kinkmaker: Woke of the Devils? Romancing turd succubi might be what got your faggot dad to spawn you, but it's not a quality that makes real RPGs.

Diablo 4 is a real A-RPG, its online-only mode is annoying but it can be played completely solo (myself being the living proof), which means it's not an MMO.

 

[Crispy]

Liberal, you wouldn't know a real RPG even if it crawled up your ass and wriggled.

 

[KIss My Ass]

D4 is more of a RPG than BG3. BG3 is a romance sim designed for sex perverts. There isn't a single gay character in D4, ain't no trannies, no flirting, no sticking fingers or other objects in human/animal butts. It's about living the life of a warrior. Good vs evil. BG3 might as well be a villain in D4. It is demonic afterall.

 

[Frank Capicoli]

ain't no trannies

9/10 of the 'female' characters look like man faced tranny inserts.

 

[KIss My Ass]

Only the Necro bitch looks like a tranny. The female Barb just looks like one of those body builder chicks, but she has some cute face options so she's doable if you're into that sort of thing. Druid bitch just looks like a typical fat bitch. Female Sorc ain't half bad looking and the female Rogue is of course a babe. Stop overexaggerating.

It's turn-based. We know from his Fallout attempts he can't deal with that

I've said many times I'm a big fan of the Xcom games and Divinity: OS games. Stop spreading fake news. I prefer aRPGs because they are the most masculine form of the genre.

going by how the d4 streamers look like, that's a highly dubious claim

 

[KIss My Ass]

This is why I need to be a mod here. Shit continues to go off the rails. I just want to talk about D4, like how I beat Kor Dragan stronghold last night but forgot to do the stupid thing where you have to "cleanse" the place so now I have to do it again and the boss kept killing me and I'm pissed off. I don't want to talk about ARPG vs other RPGs and that stupid shit. Not in the mood.
