Anyone who's paying attention to the quarterly updates will know that it's not going to be okay. At the very least D4 will be fun for a month maybe. And that's probably good enough?
The D4 Devs are actually listening, and they're changing mechanics that people are complaining about so I mean, there's some hope. Just gotta avoid the woke cringe which is probably impossible. Can't we just have a game where we just kill shit and don't have to worry about the gender of them?
It's different with Diablo though, the WoW players are too stupid to ask for things that keep an interactive world afloat. This is an ARPG, you can apply more bandaid fixes to it because it's not an MMORPG.
Also, lets be real- the people who are making posts about Diablo aren't the same dumb frick making posts about WoW. Also Blizzard always listened to their customers, they just forgot the ones they cultivated in WoW have borderline moronation.
>Blizzard always listens >D3 wasn't a steaming pile of shit on release
Real money auction house lead to rampant account hacking. Pretty sure EVERY fricking account got hacked. My account had a bunch of new accounts linked in my friends list. I try to tell this to customer support. They only give me a standard form response. Over. And over. And over again.
Then we get into the procedurally generated world in 3. Dogshit. Every area was samey as frick as opposed to what made D1 and 2 unique. The tiles for prodedural generation in D3 were all just corridors. No wide open areas. No exploration. No randomly multileveled caves to run through. None of the good shit. Just watered down faff.
And that was only actiblizz. Microsoft owns them all now.
This isn't going to improve because you want it to.
Name a single 4th installment, which breaks a trilogy, that has been good and isn't just some soulless cash grab.
They're just cashing in on your nostalgia. Diablo isn't even the fricking main villain and his name is on the box dude.
It's just going to be some shit game what would have flopped if it didn't have the [KNOWN BRAND] slapped on top of it.
STOP

moronic
You're better than this.
Baldurs Gate Dark Alliance 2 is getting a rerelease for modern consoles and steam on July 20. Yes I'm shilling for free because I loved this game as a kid.
I already did play it back then and wanted to buy 1 and 2 again, but for that price? No way. The series won't get any new attention because those homosexuals wanted to cash in on minimum work.
It was a fricking shitshow at launch and hasnt improved much aside from removing the god awful real money auction house. Builds are still shit. Itemization is still shit. The only upside it has vs diablo 2 is more stuff to do endgame.

"I-IT GETS GOOD 4000 HOURS IN G-GUYS TRUST ME IT'S THE PERFECT SUCCESSOR TO 2"
Just a reminder.
Microsoft bought these IPs. They did so as an investment. They scoured their goods and picked one out that has potentials to hit sales targets/has enough brand recognition.
You know that whatever they produce is going to be doing nothing more than wearing a skinsuit of the games that came before at best.
And most likely going to be more of a steaming dumpster fire than D3 was.
Pretty low but I'm sure it will be decent enough to warrant few playthroughs. I don't think it's ever going to have interesting itemization, however the online aspect mite b cool.
I dont get it, Diablo 3 has items that fundamentally change skills such as adding effects to skills, such as AOE effect to non AOE skill or increase minion count. Diablo 2 has +2 to the only skill you ever use.
How is it that Diablo 2 is considered to have better itemization?
The annoying aspect of online only, or digital only, is the fact that you don't really own the thing you pay good money for. Also, there's nothing wrong with piracy
of course it will be good. haven't you seen the gameplay footage? it's like diablo on steroids

Surely that'll revive it!

The game will be the greatest diablo game of all time. You guys are hilarious.
Looks like diablo 3.2
>starved
You are going to play it anyway lol

Final Fantasy games aren't actual sequels of one-another.

SMT 4
I think it'll be ok as long as you're fine with the online-only bullshit.
>2022
>still complaining about lack of offline gameplay
even homeless people are online 24/7
It is anti-consumer and I will never not complain.
>anti-consumer
you just mad cause you can't pirate it.
Ok.
It doesn't need to be good, it just needs to be better than the alternatives, and let's be honest, the alternatives ain't worth shit.
Baldurs Gate Dark Alliance 2 is getting a rerelease for modern consoles and steam on July 20. Yes I'm shilling for free because I loved this game as a kid.
i also can't wait to play the new version, with all the new pronouns and stuff!
If it's anything like the first one they rereleased it's basically just a straight up port, it's not a new version.
>zero improvements
>30 dollars
Yeah, i'll wait for a massive discount.
Okay, in fact go ahead and emulate it if you can, I don't care. I think it's a good game.
I already did play it back then and wanted to buy 1 and 2 again, but for that price? No way. The series won't get any new attention because those homosexuals wanted to cash in on minimum work.

Ah, so you're just another Black person chimping out
As said by the zoomer that didn't get the point
I think it was completely different development teams. The Dark Alliance games had no affect on the Baldur's Game crpg series.
Play project d2
Actiblizzard couldn't help but fail massively with D3.
What makes you think that microactiblizzard will do any better?
d3 was great
It was a fricking shitshow at launch and hasnt improved much aside from removing the god awful real money auction house. Builds are still shit. Itemization is still shit. The only upside it has vs diablo 2 is more stuff to do endgame.
>more endgame
>every build doesn't want the same chest
>combat is more fluid and engaging
D3 wins
In no way was d3 a failure
D3 didn't fail though
D3 failed so hard that I, and many more like me, refused to ever give Blizzard even a penny of our hard earned cash any more.
RoS was the only good game in that entire dogshit genre.
>I'm so fricking starved for isometric ARPGs
why not just play PoE
Even the mobile shit people say it's good and was only ruined by gachashit, unless they pull something similar I have high hopes for it

Nope, that is the fun part.
zero percent, stop hoping for things to be better and better yourself instead
>Be honest
It's going to be exactly like D3 + toned down colors + trannies.
>starved for isometric arpgs
Black person there's literally tons of options nowdays
New Dungeon Siege when?
Dungeon Siege 3 never happened.
>I'm so fricking starved for isometric ARPGs
Path of Exile?
Why make this post instead of watching the like 20+ vdev vids and forming your own conclusion

D3 made character build choices completely irrelevant.
0/100 chance
maybe even 0/1000
0/0 the game will be incalculably fun.

Really I just want to see how far down the woke hole Blizzard's willing to go.
They arent inclusive, they are excluding you.
a good thing
