This sounds like it would be a joke. But nope. A literally bloodsucking corporation asking for your life essence in order to gift some random peasant a show-piece console that doesn't even work.

Anyone got this shit on steam? Does it require installing the Blizz botnet or you run the entire thing from Steam? Played a bit since it's a free weekend and call me crazy, but this might actually be fun enough for a $50 price tag

I am trying the free weekend. WTF is the deal with the zoom level? Do you ever get the ability to zoom out?

Edit: I actually was slightly zoomed in. The max zoom out is still too close but it's not as bad as I thought.

Somehow still feels better than PoE.

LOL, they are already resorting to a free trial:

Pursue Lilith and fight back against the Burning Hells during the Diablo® IV Free Trial—available to all Battle.net® account holders through 30 October.

I knew you could play up to level 20 in the free weekend, but I thought you just couldn't level anymore. Instead it just disconnects you immediately once you hit 20.
ikr, I ended up making 3 characters just to try as much content as I wanted. Did Act 1 and 2 on separate chars, which put into perspective how ridiculously easy it is to overlevel just doing the campaign and nothing else, and how easy the game is if you're not underleveled. When I was 2-3 levels underleveled the difficulty felt just right.

It used to be significantly harder, especially on the 2nd difficulty, but it's all been nerfed into the ground. Not that it was ever super hardcore or anything, but launch 1.0 in Veteran mode leveling up and fighting bosses was designed as more of a "Dark Souls as an ARPG" experience, hence why mob density was relatively low until they patched it.

Just got a special offer, looks like I'll be buying this shit after all, just gonna wait until after Blizzcon. Am I correct in assuming that I should get standard? Afaik the battlepass that comes with Deluxe is $10 and the rest of the shit you get is worthless anyway

Nothing will make me buy or even play this. At the end of the day, even if I get it for free there are much better games out there I'm more willing to spend my time on and that's the last nail in the coffin for nu-Blizz games.

It ain't about making video games anymore. It's about making a product with which you can milk your player base to the fullest. Slaanesh would be proud.
