This. The 3d artists did a great job capturing different body types (granted, those are supposedly body scans, but we all know they can all turn out ugly) and pretty much nailed the ana-chan body. I wouldn't mind to nail her either if you see what I mean.
there are 4 face presets you can choose for each class. 1 is modeled after a subsaharan 'black' phenotype, so you only have 3. your 'creation' is what 80% of other people's will look like
Wow, you guys are actually pathetic. Like did you SERIOUSLY think you could just pay ONLY $100 for the game and get all this content on TOP of the main game they're giving to you? Dude wtf. The main game has over +100 hours worth of content for EACH character! You're lucky they only charge us $70 for the base game. Now shut up, and kneel out of respect and show some gratefulness.
They're not meant to target you. They're meant to target people susceptible to it. Whales.
Like how casinos are obviously as sucker's bet, you're never going to beat the house, but they still stay in business somehow. You are not the intended prey.
If I choose to pay for a shit smear, why does it bother you?

No, I'm white, which means I can afford $100 for a game and $1000/month for cosmetics.
It means resources are being actively spent to price gouge you over actually improving the game. This is a necessity in F2P games trying to create a source of revenue but Diablo 4 is already full fricking price, Blizzard is just way too used to ultra-kiking their playerbase (WoW has a fricking paid sub, paid expansions AND cash shop)
Cosmetics used to be free in video game. Just look at the Tales Series. Used to be multiple free costumes in each game until they added paid cosmetics. Now you get maybe one or two costumes for everyone for free and the rest are paid DLC.
>it's ok that they paywalled an armor set in a $60 singleplayer game where you're supposed to earn new sets and cosmetics through gameplay

Horse armor came out in 2006 and everything exploded after that. Funnily enough what the boogie man you refer to as zoomers pays for is less egregious than what started the whole mess in the first place with overpowered items, boosts, and more.
Same here. And all the gays who are saying >but its JUST COSMETIC WHY ARE YOU UPSET
are enabling this garbage. It used to be cosmetics were part of the game, not a surcharge extra yet one they know is so desirable they can make it expensive and people will happily throw money at it. Its sheer greed and zoomer stupidity mindbroken by gacha/mobile, MOBA, and Fortnite/BattleRoyale bullshit.
>complaining about a skin that affects your gameplay in literally 0 ways and is in no way mandatory
d4 contrarians are really getting desperate after being btfo'd yesterday
>devs stop working on important features because a recolor with a wig makes them millions more
it happened to overwatch 2, you think it won't happen to diablo?
people threw money at GGG supporter packs and bundles because they wanted to support the game and it seemed like a real possibility that POE could have failed early on without it.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND THE GAME IS ****FREE**** THOUGH EVEN THOUGH YOU NEED TO BUY $60 WORTH OF STASH TABS TO PLAY FIRST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IT DOESN'T MATTER IF SLOP OF EXILE'S CASH SHOP HAS 1000+ ITEMS ON IT!!!!!!!!!!!!
people threw money at GGG supporter packs and bundles because they wanted to support the game and it seemed like a real possibility that POE could have failed early on without it.
kek, seethe more pooetard
hahaha, amount of cope and seethe is astonishing!
PoE pricing is shit, but somehow D4 manages to be even more shit.
That's an achievement. Blizz even did the israeliteey thing where the point packs are just not enough for a skin.
When I buy a supporter pack in POE, I know it goes into developing the game. The game has been getting expansions every 3-4 months like clockwork for 10 years.
When I buy a cosmetic from Blizzard, it goes to printing gay troon shirts and most of their games have not lasted more than 3-4 years. >Hots = Dead >OW2 = Maintenance mode >Diablo 3 = Dead within 1 season of ROS >SC2 = maintenance mode
>free game vs $70 dollarydoo game with $10 per season
oh wow, yeah no argument there with the $84 set that you don't need to buy to play the whole game with all the new seasons
GGG's design is genius, make the game "free" officially but design it in such a way where it's impossible to play it past a certain point unless you pay them money. It's like a demo. And it made people defend them and give them money as if the game really was free when in reality its been israelitemaxxed.
I like PoE but look at all the drones justifying the cost. This is why we have this now. It's been normalized.
Look at the idiots going "SMOL INDIE COMPANY XD XD XD" while GGG made 83.8 million last year off of ONE game.
I mean, yeah? Kalandra was the longest league I've played. I loved farming Archnemesis rares and filling my map with rares. Crucible is probably one of the craziest power spikes you can ever have in POE with the tree.
The worst POE league is still way better than double treasure goblins you are going to get with Diablo 3.5

Welcome to a Diablo 4 thread.
You're probably lot seeing a lot of weird replies. Don't worry! Here's a guide to posts in Diablo 4 threads!(राकेश कृपया पोस्ट करने से पहले हटा दें)
>HAHAHA X $S FOR THIS!?
Poorgays are prominent on Ganker because this U.S. image board is not region locked. $70~120 is a lot of money in European countries, Australia, and straight up isn't feasible for developing third world countries. It's human nature for the poor to envy the wealthy. Envy plagues the poorgay because even if they had an interest in Diablo 4 it would require months almost a year of saving.
>GOYSLOP ILL JUST PLAY POE/EPOCH/D2/etc.
These games were probably on steady declines BEFORE Diablo 4's announcements. With the announcement and subsequent beta releases they have been spiraling. Why do poorgays NOT want you to play Diablo 4? Because it keeps their freemium/off brand products alive. That's less than a typical WoW medium population server. The survival of their game depends on the failure of D4.
>*INSERT MISINFORMATION, BLATANTLY WRONG STATEMENT, ETC.*
The modus operandi of a shit poster is to pollute a thread with misinformation to repel people who may be interested in the game. In addition, they want to bait more and more responses to further shit up the thread ultimately occupying a post spot for those legitimately interested in discussing the game. Simply do not engage - it's a no win scenario. Your responses will be cherry-picked for keywords and they will just continue the shitposting.
Keep in mind that POE, Epoch, etc. aren't bad games and you aren't forced to only play one of them for an eternity. Many mentally stable individuals will actually play all of them. The true opposition mentioned above? They have no choice. They can't afford to play games as they come out.
Save this for future threads - I know i will! Cheers and see you in Sanctuary
That post is like some kind of elaborate trigger warning for basedjaks. >Welcome to a Diablo 4 thread. >We get bullied a lot but be please don't have a nice day, we have to be strong sisters- >NOOOOOOOO PLEASE PUT THE SHOTGUN OUT OF YOU MOUTH, THEY WILL MAKE FUN OF ME
KEK it's true
I'm not buying 30 dollar costumes for a fricking ARPG character I'll barely see from 200 feet in the air
or a battlepass
but this whole tread is brown person poorgay cope KEK
Based. Only morons who deserve to be fleeced still buy Blizzard shit. If you haven't learned your lesson by now you deserve the milking that's to come.
morons with more money than brains will keep buying this shit so they will keep selling them and keep pushing the price up. there is nothing you can do. this war was lost more than a decade ago.
> they think this is bad
Just the opening salvo. This is going to be the cheapest and worst looking season by far.
That way they get the initial buy in of people who don't really care and "Buy look at other game shop" morons to advertise for them
As the seasons continue thats when you start to find the more expensive pets horse armors better looking gear. The truly mazed and the whales will be in full spend while people bail out.
This what blizzard has done to WoW, what they did with overwatch and what they will do D4.
The only time to play the game is launch and never again if you are going to play it at all.
You dont over milk your whales at the start.
You build them up slowly and thats when you slap the milkers on since they have now spent too much to stop playing.
It's a cosmetic.
1) Doesn't affect stats or gameplay, in terms of any kind of advantage
2) You don't have to buy it
Let the morons fill Blizzard's coffers. If you just want to fight monsters and get loot that actually matters, you get that with the base game. It's dumb, but, so are most people who play other Blizzard games these days - so don't worry.
But you can't have a live service game with constant quarterly updates that only made its company money on the initial purchase, and still expect a team of 30 to 120 people to be working on new content for years to come, without some kind of monetization. Some of you frickers have been paying for WoW now since 2004. It's had 13 expansions. Would have been possible to get all that without that monthly fee to click goblins some of you mongoloids have paid.
It ruins monetization for everyone, moron-kun. When devs see they can get away with this we stop getting free games supported by dumb whales buying skins and instead we get seventy dollar games that still have paypig bait. Not that it's gonna stop now, the ball's already halfway down the hill so whatever.
I absolutely hate how gamers equate time played to amount of content/how much it's worth. The standards for gaming is so low, this is why I fricking hate the AAA industry,
>I went to an exploitive business and bought overpriced shit! >this means its ok for gaming to be just as exploitive !!!!
actually incredible moronation.
holy shit the corporate slave levels we are getting at are insane, this "person" wants to pay shit by the hour, forget monthly, it's by the hour now baby
Hahahahaaa cumbrain is so lobotomized he literally gets to be the paypig for a corporation that doesn't give him anything in return.
>H-Heh you poorgays don't even buy shit skins for 30$ >H-Hey bro can you lend me some money for a cheeseburger, I bought the dlc because I'm not some poorgay. >No.. oh ok thanks anyway
Don't know what to tell you, but games are for subhumans. If you're not actively gaining life skills and making improvements to your craft, or keeping healthy and fit, then you're subhuman. Claiming intellectual superiority when you're an obese fat lazy slob doesn't work.
It's actually amazing that Blizzard went for the 'all of the monetization possible' angle.
Who the frick won't be fed up with this except for mentally ill whales? Might as well go play Lost Ark.
>$30 for some generic looking skeleton necromancer armor
There are some armor sets in the game already for free that arguably look better. Blizzard is out of touch with reality if they think this will sell well. The premium cash shop armors in WoW look better and are cheaper than this. Their free-to-play rivals PoE sells cheaper armors that look better and PoE is ugly as frick

Why do poorgays NOT want you to play Diablo 4? Because it keeps their freemium/off brand products alive.

Bros. I'm playing Lost Ark, so I can get the undiluted D4 experience.
I get the option of getting fricked in the ass, except I don't have to pay the mandatory entry fee.
Not defending any form of MtX but I think $20-$30 is going to be the new standard. A PoE skin is like $25 iirc
So having this be $28 is really not all that surprising
I'm not interested in your copy-pasted argument. >it's not surprising

Zooming into a graph to show a local dip isn’t startling to anybody with a brain. Not shilling for blizzard, but why post shit like this? Only morons are gonna agree with you.
You'd figure if you're not poor, you'd buy a boat and fill it with prostitutes.
Somehow D4 is where you show your networth. Congrats, you have a few hundred dollars.
skins for a fps game is pretty weird tbh. most of the time you don't see your own skin at all because it's not in 3rd person. only team mates and enemigos get the treat
Anon we have NO say in this. Gaming has become massively mainstream. The people who call themselves "gamers" nowadays are either boomers with families and with more money than time or kids that grow up on microtransactions and "DLC". It's over.
>i can't believe we allowed it to get this badly
we should have gatekept gaming so fricking hard no one would ever want to play them, gamergate on steroids and real
I would rather games move to a subscription model than have MTX.
If the single purchase/buy a box method is not viable or profitable then a subscription method is preferable to MTX.
Ultimately everything should be unlockable in game. owning the game should allow the player to access everything
>I would rather games move to a subscription model than have MTX.
Are you moronic...
WoW has sub and MTX
FF14 has sub and MTX
It's not either or. mtx is here to stay for the forseeable future. Only way mtx goes away is if it's made illegal.
>literally just imaginary mobile game diamonds/crystals/gems/coins put into full-priced games >+300 FREE, +700 FREE, +1500 FREE

>i can't believe we allowed it to get this badly
PoE has stash tabs you need to buy, fragment season specific tabs you need to buy (and both of these are not really optional), 30-40 dollar costumes, loot boxes, AND a fricking season pass (Kirac's).
Not only was there no pushback on any of this shit, PoE players defended it every step at the way.
Of fricking COURSE Blizzard would look at that and go "lol we'll do the same, but remove the boxes and charge for the game to make it seem more premium" when they have the more valuable IP
Look forward to seeing everyone come back and complain when Season 2 starts adding non-cosmetics to the shop. Hope you enjoyed buying Stashes from POE cause there is no way Blizzard isn't doing the same.
I would estimate Season 3 will be a new area that you have to earn from the SP (OR PURCHASE FOR INSTANT ACCESS!!!!).
WC3 is my favorite game ever and i enjoyed D2 yet i wouldn't touch any nu-blizzard game even at gunpoint, Blizzturds are either braindead normies with no taste whatsoever or the new LGBT2A+++ abominations that blizzard keeps catering towards with all their new games, even redditards point out how bad their newer games have become, tho most of them are still too stupid to not give them any more money
I remember when blizzard started to charge 20~ bucks for a name change many years ago and a horde of people were defending it. There’s literally nothing people won’t pay for. They literally sell air in bottles now a days.
>muh corporate shill in a literally unimportant website bogeyman!
you can cope all you want, even reddit can cope along with you, at the end of the day, hundreds of millions of autists, brand loyalists and others will buy it, buy the mtx, buy the dlc, etc etc

Never ever, unless we elect a ton of non moronic (not conservatives) to regulate the frick out of every industry that exists. Everything everywhere has gone up in price and it’s simply because morons are willing to pay for everything.
Just go to the grocery store and look how much people are willing to spend for the most basic shit. Look how much eggs are, look how egg companies keep posting record profits.
Game companies keep posting record profits.
Consumer advocacy groups were formed to protect and empower consumers. They protect people from unsafe products, false advertising, and corrupt businesses. They do this through the use of information, political influence, protests, campaigning, and legal action.
i don't think consumer advocates bother with gaming at all, there needs to be more
you will never get anything done through law or regulation because the corporations own the uniparty, what you need to achieve is to convince the consumer that just a little bit of restraint means they are in control of what corporations are capable of doing, that's the message that needs to be driven home, there needs to be a change in values
I mean isn't this just more proof that democracy, whether in politics or in economics, is a sham in the face of the sheer stupidity of the average person nowadays?

Just like how nobody liked D3's damage multiplier heavy itemization and the developers even acknowledged how moronic D3 damage numbers are and said D4 won't reach that level, yet D4 already has 7 billion damage numbers before it gets released.
'arpgs' aka diabloclones are a bad genre, the whole formula is bad.
The original premise was executed well in diablo 1 and 2 but it's one of those "masterpieces defined by its constraints". It was new and fresh and done well. So well, in fact, that remaking the game is pointless.
Tech has moved on. Top-down view is mostly a relic but it's still good for isometric rpgs, board game simulators, and real time strategy.
>tech has moved on from isometric camera perspectives
What kind of autism is this? That’s like saying tech has moved on from 2D platformers. People’s enjoyment of these games isn’t a function of current technological advancements. PoE is a better ARPG than Borderlands 2 even though the former has an isometric camera perspective, and the latter is a totally ebic shooter with reddit humor throughout.
borderlands 2 is an fps and I find it miserable with the loud sounds and bright visuals.
"Top-down arpgs" like path of exile, diablo 3+, inquisitor martyr, etc, even titan quest, they're all shit. Braindead enemies zerg rush you and die in one hit for 90+% of the gameplay. Bosses are tanky and have one gimmick. MMOs are famously weak on gameplay and do this better. It's just a shiny box distraction while your brain melts.
>It's just a shiny box distraction while your brain melts.
You’ve just described gaming. How are ARPGs any more a waste of time than any of your favorite games?
I guess I just don’t see the difference. If you’re burnt out on ARPGs, that’s different than them being uniquely bad for how poorly they respect your time. I’ve got 2k hours in PoE. That sounds like a lot, and you might say “why didn’t you do something productive,” but those 2k hours are spread out over five years. I like ARPGs because once I understand the mechanics, I can turn my brain off and listen to an audiobook while I play. I don’t consider this any worse of a use of my time than anything else to be honest.
>had left over bnet balance from HotS or HS or something from forever ago >bought game for 15 bucks new money

>The screenshots in this gallery are from Blizzard. Reviewers did not have access to the store during the review period.
classic bait n switch incoming. Wait for reviewers to praise how great the game is, then gut it with microtransactions on release. Not buying your glorified mobile game, blizz.
The only hope is that there will be enough backlash to put an end to this, like the real money auction house or whatever bullshit they tried when D3 first came out. Its not like the game doesn't already have a standard edition, a deluxe edition, what looks to be battle passes etc... this is excessive and sickening (which describes pretty much everything Blizz has done in recent years).
Speaking of whales, zoomers are mostly poor. It’s middle aged people and up that are whales. You never saw a 17 or 21 year old in some interview about spending tens of thousands on second life or some shit. The people I know that bought star citizen ships in the thousands are 40-50.
zoomers still come from middle class families most of the time. They got daddy's or mommy's money to get stuff from. or the nepotism job they got at their parents' or someone they knew company
Imagine thinking that Blizzard of all companies wasn't going to jump on the opportunity to milk people with cosmetics after seeing how easily games like PoE pull it off.
>$30 for a skin in a ismoetric loot game
I don't know how many real world dollars to coins it took in overwatch to get a skin back in the day, but I doubt it was near as much and it had a lot more of an effect than it would here despite just being cosmetic. Pretty wild
are people really trying to argue that the 70 dollar game with 90 and 100 dollar versions is comparable to a f2p game because they both have cash shops?
what do you think all tehse kids will be doing day 1? playing their 70 dollar versions? no, itll be the 90+ dollar versions lol
thats just to install the game, and they will be milking these kids for years
what you see in the cash shop of POE is after like 10+ years of a f2p game , what do you think d4 is gonna look like after 10 years lol, guaranteed youll be buying max level boosts and pets that follow you around buffing you or looting for you
This is the best part of it all. When people realize it's literally just diablo 3.5 and leave the game, they'll pull the old OW2 card and apologize about cancelling the future updates for the game.
>gets BTFO by someone more experienced and better than him at the game he is defending >has a mental breakdown and starts screaming "B..BUT S..STEAM"

I will never purchase a game with a cosmetics shop. If I can't unlock something in a reasonable time frame, then it was clearly withheld to catch whales.
Why the frick are there mounts and pets in a Diablo game? What fricking purpose to mounts and pets serve in a fricking ARPG?
Does Blizzard figure that because all the dumb autistic whales in Retail WoW like to buy their shitty cash shop mounts and pets, that people playing a game that isn't even an MMO will want mounts and pets? That this is just the universal way to earn money in a cash shop because playing cosmetic mount Pokemon is popular in MMOs for some reason?
>Does Blizzard figure that because all the dumb autistic whales in POE like to buy their shitty cash shop mounts and pets
ftfy
Unironically, blizzard has been seething since POE found a way to make millions monetizing garbage to morons that blizzard used to give out for free
Lost ark sucks cause you gotta constantly talk to npcs and get new quests and shit. It’s a legit mmo with the Argp camera. I didn’t get to endgame. I just wanted lots of combat, I liked the combat that was there. Felt nice.
Also the game can rape you with cash shop like everything else
>game isn't even out yet >there's already microtransaction content >that means Blizzard used time they could have spent on the core game making paywalled shit
Daily reminder that the Diablo 2 COMMUNITY, not Blizzard, created a pay to win economy before any mega corp or anyone else did.
And that community still exists and is still paying 🙂

Why does it matter? Instead of blaming the developers or corporations, let's acknowledge that it's the public who holds the power as consumers. They are the ones willingly spending their money on cash shops. If the public exercised self-control, these cash shops would cease to exist immediately.
>above average priced early access game
CHECK >battlepass
CHECK >MTX
CHECK >paid expansions
CHECK >purchasable in-game currency >CHECK >cosmetic gambling boxes soonTM >CHECK
At least have the courteous of being F2P if you're going to MTX. Dipping your toes in all categories is just being a turbo israelite.
CHALLENGE: Make a critical argument about how your joy is diminished by paid cosmetics existing without bringing up the cost (this just outs you as a poorgay -- only poorgays care about money or how others spend theirs).
PoE cutting out quality of life and the best cosmetics and relegating it to the store is good intent? They just use the excuse that it's a "supporter's package" and you thirdies eat it up hook line and sinker. What you really hate is that Blizzard isn't being ambiguous with the messaging and massaging your ego.
Seeing as how the gameplay is confirmed great how does that matter? The game is $70 like every new game. It's confirmed to have a lot of content and great gameplay. Seasons, as always, are free.
Your only basis is some headcanon boogeyman that MIGHT happened without basis. By all means, if Blizzard does started integrating p2w they absolutely should be crucified but there's no indicators that will happen.
The "season" will be a quick asset flip dungeon they half assed at last minute. Real content will be paid expansions.
>free to try
So was diablo 4, millions tried it for free, liked it and preordered it. Still doesn't excuse a horrible UI, no quality of life, rampant community approved RMT etc. >paid expansions
This is why the meme that bait threads are started by third world poors. An expansion is probably an entire village of mud huts for you guys.

it tells me the that the devs who are working on the game are talentless because the focus of the game is making shitty costumes for whales to buy. pretty simple. publishers don't need to hire actual talented people when they can just hire trannies and freaks for ESG points while milking the whales destroying the entire franchise along the way. just look at cod
IDK why people b***hing about the premium cosmetics. They look like shit compared to the base retail equipment + dye variations. Kind of ironic that people who are fervently against the game also are triggered so hard over the fact they don't get to look like a moron like every other buygay.
>cosmetic item

Only sane person on /v
those people spend billions on these things per year. What the frick are the sane going to do about the insane?
My normie friend is all over it
True
Blizzard fanboys are already mindbroken though
Only 7% of players paid for cosmetics in Blizzard games.
Most people know it's a scam, you're not special
also
>creating a beauty to hide in that
I hope whoever made these models finds more artistically satisfying work.
This. The 3d artists did a great job capturing different body types (granted, those are supposedly body scans, but we all know they can all turn out ugly) and pretty much nailed the ana-chan body. I wouldn't mind to nail her either if you see what I mean.
there are 4 face presets you can choose for each class. 1 is modeled after a subsaharan 'black' phenotype, so you only have 3. your 'creation' is what 80% of other people's will look like
naizuri and nakadashi
Wow, you guys are actually pathetic. Like did you SERIOUSLY think you could just pay ONLY $100 for the game and get all this content on TOP of the main game they're giving to you? Dude wtf. The main game has over +100 hours worth of content for EACH character! You're lucky they only charge us $70 for the base game. Now shut up, and kneel out of respect and show some gratefulness.
true but anyone who buys games that do this should be in an asylum too
there are billions of people with below 90 IQ
>being ok with wearing rags in a 90$ RPG because "eh i don't HAVE to use the cashshop"

They're not meant to target you. They're meant to target people susceptible to it. Whales.

this plus finding good gear that also looks cool is much more interesting
it's okay when blizzard does it
>ok with cosmetic cash shop
Gaming is already doomed
If it's nothing mechanical, who cares? Let people waste their money.
dumb Black folk like you are the reason almost every single game is infested with this shit now
But it's cosmetic, so it literally means nothing.
I'm going to smear shit on your stomach but it's okay it's only cosmetic.
If I choose to pay for a shit smear, why does it bother you?
I don't care what your stupid ass does, the damage has already been done. I care about how disgusted I feel knowing a $70 game also lets you pay $30 to get shit smeared on your chest.
You're complaining about something that in no way affects you. You also say $70 repeatedly, which means you are of the lower classes.
oh you're one of those Black folk
No, I'm white, which means I can afford $100 for a game and $1000/month for cosmetics.
Cosmetics are a big part of almost any gaming experience and there was a time where you didn't have to pay for it you dumb frick zoomer
>Cosmetics are a big part of almost any gaming experience
Where? By looking cool for your friends?
>there was a time where you didn't have to pay for it
This is your problem. You wanting the old days to come back
It means resources are being actively spent to price gouge you over actually improving the game. This is a necessity in F2P games trying to create a source of revenue but Diablo 4 is already full fricking price, Blizzard is just way too used to ultra-kiking their playerbase (WoW has a fricking paid sub, paid expansions AND cash shop)
If anything. D4 is 1/1000th price. You poors should't be able to get away with buying something as cheap as $100.
It means they're fricking MAKING MONEY moron
Cosmetics used to be free in video game. Just look at the Tales Series. Used to be multiple free costumes in each game until they added paid cosmetics. Now you get maybe one or two costumes for everyone for free and the rest are paid DLC.
its the loser version of the fashion industry, they finally found a way to sell clothes to the only market segment that wasn't interested in them
>it's ok that they paywalled an armor set in a $60 singleplayer game where you're supposed to earn new sets and cosmetics through gameplay
fricking moronic zoomer no fricking standards at all
Wasn’t zoomers paying into these models for the past 2 decades
it was only prominent in the 2010's which is when zoomers were growing up
>t. 22 yr old zoomzoom
Horse armor came out in 2006 and everything exploded after that. Funnily enough what the boogie man you refer to as zoomers pays for is less egregious than what started the whole mess in the first place with overpowered items, boosts, and more.
The whole industry is like this. Youre fighting a battle that lost over a decade ago
remember when games gave you cosmetics for playing the game
I remember. Shit depresses me everyday
Same here. And all the gays who are saying
>but its JUST COSMETIC WHY ARE YOU UPSET
are enabling this garbage. It used to be cosmetics were part of the game, not a surcharge extra yet one they know is so desirable they can make it expensive and people will happily throw money at it. Its sheer greed and zoomer stupidity mindbroken by gacha/mobile, MOBA, and Fortnite/BattleRoyale bullshit.
It costs development time and money that could have gone into the game itself
>development time
A bunch of """"""creatives"""""" drawing and modeling is not wasted development time.
Actually Tim(she,her) would have made an entire new Diablo 4Act if she wasn’t busy drawing that helmet.
>Tim(she,her)
It's they/them now, chud
if you pay $70 for a game it should be a complete experience without additional purchases, you moronic 17 year old
homosexual skins are not "game experience"
Well it depends, if they regularily deliver free content updates for years the cash shop might be excusable.
Do you really think they'd pass up the opportunity to charge you for an expansion too? lol
that's barely a fricking excuse for this amount of bullshit in a $70 game
people will still buy it
take the L
This. You can't stop the slop. People cried about OW2's outrageous skin prices but still bought them.
So don't buy it. Problem solved.
Doesn't ruin the base game for me at all.
Of course it does, stupid
>devs stop working on important features because a recolor with a wig makes them millions more

people threw money at GGG supporter packs and bundles because they wanted to support the game and it seemed like a real possibility that POE could have failed early on without it.
really huh? based on all the posts here seems like Diablo is going to fail so I guess the cash shop is completely justified 😉
correction its 100 + 28 = 128 USD
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND THE GAME IS ****FREE**** THOUGH EVEN THOUGH YOU NEED TO BUY $60 WORTH OF STASH TABS TO PLAY FIRST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hahaha, amount of cope and seethe is astonishing!
the poegays seething at this really speak for themselves at how hypocritical they are. POE is just as israeli if not more so because its f2p.
PoE pricing is shit, but somehow D4 manages to be even more shit.
That's an achievement. Blizz even did the israeliteey thing where the point packs are just not enough for a skin.
When I buy a supporter pack in POE, I know it goes into developing the game. The game has been getting expansions every 3-4 months like clockwork for 10 years.
When I buy a cosmetic from Blizzard, it goes to printing gay troon shirts and most of their games have not lasted more than 3-4 years.
>Hots = Dead

100 points is $10 moron.
>free game vs $70 dollarydoo game with $10 per season
oh wow, yeah no argument there with the $84 set that you don't need to buy to play the whole game with all the new seasons
GGG's design is genius, make the game "free" officially but design it in such a way where it's impossible to play it past a certain point unless you pay them money. It's like a demo. And it made people defend them and give them money as if the game really was free when in reality its been israelitemaxxed.
>overpriced game
>single item in it's mtx shop is 1/4 of the game price
Diablo 4 buyers paid for a Diablo Immortal reskin.
No hide this. Poe trannies will rope themselves if they have to face reality of their gender and game.
I like PoE but look at all the drones justifying the cost. This is why we have this now. It's been normalized.
Look at the idiots going "SMOL INDIE COMPANY XD XD XD" while GGG made 83.8 million last year off of ONE game.
POE has a track record of being updated.
Blizz games have a track record of being abandoned after they've milked their audience.
yeah man great job on those past few I'm sure a lot of work went into Kalandra and this shithole league
lmao
I mean, yeah? Kalandra was the longest league I've played. I loved farming Archnemesis rares and filling my map with rares. Crucible is probably one of the craziest power spikes you can ever have in POE with the tree.
The worst POE league is still way better than double treasure goblins you are going to get with Diablo 3.5

Slow day in poeg eh?
I wouldn't know. Do you go to /vg/ a lot? I'm posting in a D4 thread on Ganker because I'm about to play some D4. Are you mad about PoE sucking wiener these days?
I say that because the couple times I elected to check the threads, it seemed like there was nowhere else on the internet as perpetually furious over the game as there.
Oh, well then I understand them. I'm mad too. The game was amazing and now it's complete dogshit; run into the ground over PoE 2 changes with that shit still nowhere to be seen.
And if the Act 1 changes are supposed to be what PoE 2 is? Frick that game.
Ritual league is never coming back.
It’s time for you to move on.
>It’s time for you to move on.

>we were talking about Archnem you stupid fricking zygote with no attention span
Archnem still exist you moron. They just took out the fancy name for the mods.
>and no, you triple Black person, Crucible has shit retention. It had the BIGGEST start in PoE history as it ea the D4 waiting room and it wasted it. It has the LOWEST RETENTION OF ALL LEAGUES YOU STUPID LYING Black person
>It's just a D4 waiting room!
Biggest cope I've seen in my life lol.
When Diablo 4 turns out to be just as shitty as Diablo 3, I hope you don't come back to POE. I hate sharing the game with moronic people like you.
>Archnem still exist you moron. They just took out the fancy name for the mods.
biggest cope NA and shows you just started the game. Current mods are NOTHING like Archnem's shit festival you LARPing homosexual.
Just admit you have no rebuttal, you got BTFO, and go to /vg/ and ask for your sore ass to be massaged.
>Current mods are NOTHING like Archnem's shit festival you LARPing homosexual.
You are an actual fricking redditor moron aren't you? Instead of saying "Flame touched" they literally just spell out the mods that that made up flame touched. Reflect totem still exist, ES that stuns you when you break it still exist, Mana leech ring still exist, super high enemy resist to certaind amage type still exist. Flame balls spawning on hit still exist. Toxic balls spawning on hit still exist. Every single archnem mod that you complained about since you can't get out of act 3 still exist. It just doesn't have big fancy letters to spell it out to people with as low of an IQ as you.
Stick to D4.
you've never killed ubers
you've never been to reds
you think ANYTHING in the current game is equal to 4 stack archnem mod rares
LOL
LMAO
I accept your concession, Diablohomosexual. Stick to something more up to your speed okay?
post hours, act 4 bab
>he plays on steam
>less than 5k hours
Let me guess, you came to POE during Betrayal? Like I said, I'm glad POE doesn't have to house diablo 3 morons as refugees like you anymore.
>doesn't post his played time because he knows it's nothing
started before you did, cuck. No one cares when you started if you're stuck in whites.
>He plays on steam
That's all I need to know from you homosexual.

of course Bald Fricking moron's fanboys are this useless and pathetic
Please stick to D4. I don't want DiabloBlack folk like you ruining POE.
You started PoE after me. You've put no hours into it.
You can't get to maps.
and this moron is trying to gatekeep a game he's bad it
LOL
Yet you are still too stupid to realize archnem never went anywhere huh? Also less than 5k hours in 10 years? Yeah, okay there Black person. Nobody here actually believes you.
cope train CHOOO CHOO chugga chugga CHOO CHOO
>loses argument about archnem
>instantly goes into damage control
Not like this diablosisters....
>gets BTFO by someone more experienced and better than him at the game he is defending
>has a mental breakdown and starts screaming "B..BUT S..STEAM"
lmao
lol
there's no need to gatekeep PoE because the terrible leagues do that themselves
What? No. We don’t want him either.
>post IP count doesn't go up
KEK
What?
This is a Diablo thread, or did you forget that?
Unfortunately, low IQ Black folk are what blizzard is targetting. You're gonna have to take him.
Crucible doing fine is the biggest lie on repeat and just shows how hard some homosexuals are coping. The graph shows how everyone is fricking tired of their bullshit and that they need to drop PoE 2 now. Nobody wants this "oh it's better with PoE2, dude trust me xD" bullshit anymore.
you know what? I was wrong. Cuckandra and Archnem: Ooops We Fricked The Game Edition are both lower. This trash can league is 3rd place.
Still pathetic since it started with 220k Steam players; a new record and it was literally the D4 waiting room.
>implying Reddit does anything that isn’t b***hing about muh Harvest
Someone gotta pay for the disaster in China
No cool ass armor to work towards and set myself apart from my peers only clown suits and discord cliques
No one forces you to buy the skin, morons.
sage for dumb as frick bait thread
It's really telling how D4 has 0 actual gameplay criticism on Ganker.
Tells you all you need to know. Pre-ordering the game today.
>he didn't preorder 3 ultimate copies already
How many meals you had to skip, poorgay? Gtfo from my groups
Everyone played the beta and realized it was Diablo Inmortal 2 honey.
and that's bad why?
>muh dressup!
not a reason
kys shit eating c**t
>getting triggered by something that literally doesn't effect you
>shit eating
that's actually PoE players
they enjoy having their characters use buckets and pans as armor as long as their game is free
remember when this shit was free? they’ll keep removing and locking stuff behind a price. Next they’ll take away your health potions and sell them for 5 usd each
Diablo was always consoomer shit and the entire loot system was proto gacha made to brainwash you, blizzard was always fricked up
blizzdrones are coming out hard for this game, its crazy
you'd think the breast milk thing would be the end of this company but you morons love propping them up to "make Ganker mad" or whatever
>isometric dark as frick game

Lmao who in their right mind would even buy this shit, the point of cosmetics is to show off to other gays but when even the player themselves can't see it who cares?
dogg just don't buy it

The cosmetics would be like buying a different colored plate to stick your sandwich on
Wrong. The cosmetics would be an extra serving of olives, pastrami or onions.
that would be a DLC level pack
I would never go to subway
Now the sandwich is 70$ plus tax and those extras are 28$
You're lying! No one goes to Subway.
It's 2023, if you go to subway you are a defacto loser
you anon, are a fricking loser
I only go to Subway when I get $6 footlong sub coupons in the mail.
pay up goyim
You can transmog every single weapon and armor piece in the game just like D3, why would you care about some premium whale cosmetics?
Anyone who bought any Blizzard game that's newer than The Frozen Throne is an idiot and deserves it.
i like starcraft 2 keep seething
>complaining about a skin that affects your gameplay in literally 0 ways and is in no way mandatory

Welcome to a Diablo 4 thread.
You're probably lot seeing a lot of weird replies. Don't worry! Here's a guide to posts in Diablo 4 threads!(राकेश कृपया पोस्ट करने से पहले हटा दें)
>HAHAHA X $S FOR THIS!?
Poorgays are prominent on Ganker because this U.S. image board is not region locked. $70~120 is a lot of money in European countries, Australia, and straight up isn't feasible for developing third world countries. It's human nature for the poor to envy the wealthy. Envy plagues the poorgay because even if they had an interest in Diablo 4 it would require months almost a year of saving.
>GOYSLOP ILL JUST PLAY POE/EPOCH/D2/etc.
These games were probably on steady declines BEFORE Diablo 4's announcements. With the announcement and subsequent beta releases they have been spiraling. Why do poorgays NOT want you to play Diablo 4? Because it keeps their freemium/off brand products alive. That's less than a typical WoW medium population server. The survival of their game depends on the failure of D4.
>*INSERT MISINFORMATION, BLATANTLY WRONG STATEMENT, ETC.*
The modus operandi of a shit poster is to pollute a thread with misinformation to repel people who may be interested in the game. In addition, they want to bait more and more responses to further shit up the thread ultimately occupying a post spot for those legitimately interested in discussing the game. Simply do not engage - it's a no win scenario. Your responses will be cherry-picked for keywords and they will just continue the shitposting.
Keep in mind that POE, Epoch, etc. aren't bad games and you aren't forced to only play one of them for an eternity. Many mentally stable individuals will actually play all of them. The true opposition mentioned above? They have no choice. They can't afford to play games as they come out.
Save this for future threads - I know i will! Cheers and see you in Sanctuary
He does it for free
is this the saddest pasta on Ganker?
at this point when I see it I can't help but wonder if it's a falseflagger trying to make genuine blizzard fans look bad.
That post is like some kind of elaborate trigger warning for basedjaks.

How mad are you to spam this line in all diablo and arpg threads?
lel, first thread, shill-kun. Guess your playbook can't handle multiple people shitting on "your" game.

I remember having to get headshots for my MW2 skins and it was very rewarding to finally get them. wtf happened to people?
Not this homosexual's point, but if an indie game is charging more than $10, I'm pirating it.
>pirates 11 dollar indie game
>IS THAT 70 DOLLAR AAA SLOP? DONT MIND IF I DO!!!
have a nice day
I have no idea how you jumped to that that incalculably moronic conclusion.
Unsurprising after Overwatch 2 monetization.
Time to get those wallets out paypiggies
morons with more money than brains will keep buying this shit so they will keep selling them and keep pushing the price up. there is nothing you can do. this war was lost more than a decade ago.
> they think this is bad
Just the opening salvo. This is going to be the cheapest and worst looking season by far.
That way they get the initial buy in of people who don't really care and "Buy look at other game shop" morons to advertise for them
As the seasons continue thats when you start to find the more expensive pets horse armors better looking gear. The truly mazed and the whales will be in full spend while people bail out.
This what blizzard has done to WoW, what they did with overwatch and what they will do D4.
The only time to play the game is launch and never again if you are going to play it at all.
what are you poor or something rofl
I think Blizzard knows they are falling out of favour so they are milking the whales at this point.
You dont over milk your whales at the start.
You build them up slowly and thats when you slap the milkers on since they have now spent too much to stop playing.
No one said blizzard was smart.
>ok with cosmetic cash shop
Fricking morons
>It's really telling how D4 has 0 actual gameplay criticism on Ganker.
>Ganker now listen to streamers
Interesting development.
But why would you buy that? The only good cosmetics are the ones you have to earn by playing, while everything else is literally just a mark of shame.
It's a cosmetic.
1) Doesn't affect stats or gameplay, in terms of any kind of advantage
2) You don't have to buy it
Let the morons fill Blizzard's coffers. If you just want to fight monsters and get loot that actually matters, you get that with the base game. It's dumb, but, so are most people who play other Blizzard games these days - so don't worry.
But you can't have a live service game with constant quarterly updates that only made its company money on the initial purchase, and still expect a team of 30 to 120 people to be working on new content for years to come, without some kind of monetization. Some of you frickers have been paying for WoW now since 2004. It's had 13 expansions. Would have been possible to get all that without that monthly fee to click goblins some of you mongoloids have paid.
It ruins monetization for everyone, moron-kun. When devs see they can get away with this we stop getting free games supported by dumb whales buying skins and instead we get seventy dollar games that still have paypig bait. Not that it's gonna stop now, the ball's already halfway down the hill so whatever.
>1) Doesn't affect stats or gameplay, in terms of any kind of advantage
Yes it does
Not him, but how does it affect the gameplay? I avoided any info about the game till now.
Visuals is a big part of a video game.
the mental gymnastics that redditors go to justify this israeliteery
Arcades are in a pretty sad state right now. I took my nephew bowling and we spent some time there
>pay extra credit for a speed boost in racing
I absolutely hate how gamers equate time played to amount of content/how much it's worth. The standards for gaming is so low, this is why I fricking hate the AAA industry,
>I went to an exploitive business and bought overpriced shit!
>this means its ok for gaming to be just as exploitive !!!!
actually incredible moronation.
holy shit the corporate slave levels we are getting at are insane, this "person" wants to pay shit by the hour, forget monthly, it's by the hour now baby
poorgay cope, if you're too poor to afford a $30 skin in a $100 game you shouldn't be sitting on your ass playing video games in the first place
Some of us have to work for our money instead of letting mommy and daddy care for us.
That's like a whole gallon of gas!
Hahahahaaa cumbrain is so lobotomized he literally gets to be the paypig for a corporation that doesn't give him anything in return.
>H-Heh you poorgays don't even buy shit skins for 30$
>H-Hey bro can you lend me some money for a cheeseburger, I bought the dlc because I'm not some poorgay.
>No.. oh ok thanks anyway
lmao, top cuck.
> NOOO! Don't buy from D4 cash shop, buy from PoE shop instead!
I want off this ride.
poe doesnt cost 70 dollars fricking moron
NOOO! PoE's Cash-Shop is different!
having monetization slightly cheaper than a f2p game isn't a big achievement
Blizzrones will scream: "ITS COSMETIC!"
blizzard piggies are a a different species, they'll buy this shit and more.
I only need one cosmetic, and I got it for free.
free?
it cost you 70 dollars
Everyone was free to play the server slam.
Anyone who only paid $70 doesn't deserve to enjoy Diablo 4.
This mindset is why these companies can charge $90 for a game. Congratulations, you played yourself.
Diablo games are for subhumans
I played them all and they are all moronic
Diablo sucks
Path of exile sucks
Torchlight sucks
Grim Dawn sucks
Hero Siege sucks
They are "rpg" for the lowest common denominator. They are as brain dead as those vampire survivor games.
Don't know what to tell you, but games are for subhumans. If you're not actively gaining life skills and making improvements to your craft, or keeping healthy and fit, then you're subhuman. Claiming intellectual superiority when you're an obese fat lazy slob doesn't work.
grim dawn and torchlight 2 > blizzshit
It's actually amazing that Blizzard went for the 'all of the monetization possible' angle.
Who the frick won't be fed up with this except for mentally ill whales? Might as well go play Lost Ark.
>$30 for some generic looking skeleton necromancer armor
There are some armor sets in the game already for free that arguably look better. Blizzard is out of touch with reality if they think this will sell well. The premium cash shop armors in WoW look better and are cheaper than this. Their free-to-play rivals PoE sells cheaper armors that look better and PoE is ugly as frick

Why do poorgays NOT want you to play Diablo 4? Because it keeps their freemium/off brand products alive.

>People ingame will always laugh at you for having this emote
>You just have to to misclick once and get branded a moron, knowing you have to delete your character out of shame.
Why does it look so BAD? Holy crap it's a 2023 AAAA game that looks like it was made in 2014 and a dead soulless UI.
Blizzdrones are literally moronic
Blizzcucks really get what they deserve
It's a $70 fricking game.
It's not f2p for frick's sake.
>But PoE! But cod! But destiny! But fortnite!
These games are free.
>free
they tricked ya
I got 90 hours out of PoE all for free.
only 90h lol. This guy has never had 10k of a single currancy
I literally don't care. I'm not an autistic moron.
>90 hours
so you didn't accomplish anything
>free
again, you've been had
>so you didn't accomplish anything
What do you mean? I farmed maps 7 years ago and I didn't pay any money to play the game. Cope, seethe, and dilate.
>still thinks f2p is free
lol. lmao even.
>seething because I got 90 hours of game play for free and you paid $100 for a Diablo 3 remake that also has a cash shop
you'll never be a woman

pfft. that's really nothing
get on my level
thats impressive my dude
Time is the most expensive currency.
Sucks for you cause my time is worthless
>my time is worthless
Why don't you just ACK yourself then? Checkmate.
NTA but I'm gonna play Diablo 4 tomorrow. Just because my time is worthless doesn't mean I should kill myself, that's a very Western way of thinking.
>Just because my time is worthless doesn't mean I should kill myself
That's actually what it means. The fact that you want to spend time doing things means your time has inherent worth.
>that's a very Western way of thinking
The east is more of a suicide cult than the west has or ever will be though.
Do you actually care about in game cosmetics? Are you a queer or a woman?
Bros. I'm playing Lost Ark, so I can get the undiluted D4 experience.
I get the option of getting fricked in the ass, except I don't have to pay the mandatory entry fee.
Not defending any form of MtX but I think $20-$30 is going to be the new standard. A PoE skin is like $25 iirc
So having this be $28 is really not all that surprising
Which twitch streamer provided you with this opinion? Just so we can know how stupid you are.
>Literally no argument
Enjoy spending money on cash shops or games that have them homosexual
All MTX that aren't admin services (such as server changes in an MMO) are absolute cancer.
I'm not interested in your copy-pasted argument.
>it's not surprising
You still haven't told me which twitch streamer acts as a surrogate father for you.
People will pay it because it's a small price to pay for resisting capitalism
Why the pic?

>Can't Hit the Griddy
>NOOOOOO OMG WTF LOOK AT ALL THIS STUFF THEY'RE NOT FORCING ME TO BUY IN ANY WAY

>b-but OoT didn't have an MTX shop!!!
OoT didn't get 10 years of constant maintenance/updates like d3 has, stop being a moronic whiny little Black person
Bro you are all over the place and your examples are not thought out at all.
>Comparing an 8.8 game to the best game ever made
Blizzdrones are something else, I tell you what
But bros, you told me Blizzard is winning
That's a half point swing. It's not exactly the apocalypse.
>stock is down less than a nickel
Zooming into a graph to show a local dip isn’t startling to anybody with a brain. Not shilling for blizzard, but why post shit like this? Only morons are gonna agree with you.
Can you earn cosmetics in-game too?
If you're not rockin this set I instantly know you're poor and unbased.
>quickly, deploy shaming strats because the product doesn't sell on its own
literally the crypto strat
You'd figure if you're not poor, you'd buy a boat and fill it with prostitutes.
Somehow D4 is where you show your networth. Congrats, you have a few hundred dollars.
>implying I'm not playing D4 from my prostitute filled boat
>>$28 on a single skin
Ironically still better than Overwatch skins.
$20 for a fricking fps game.
skins for a fps game is pretty weird tbh. most of the time you don't see your own skin at all because it's not in 3rd person. only team mates and enemigos get the treat
>a microtransaction that costs more than most indie games
holy shit
What are you poor? Buy my crypto btw haha don't miss out!
anyone that defends this needs to be publicly executed, i can't believe we allowed it to get this badly
https://jobs.mchire.com/
>i can't believe we allowed it to get this badly
Anon we have NO say in this. Gaming has become massively mainstream. The people who call themselves "gamers" nowadays are either boomers with families and with more money than time or kids that grow up on microtransactions and "DLC". It's over.
>content is no longer unlocked through gameplay
It really is over bros. Gamers have finally lost, corporations have finally won.
>Please, take my $100.
>+1500 free
How do gachatards fall for this every single time?
>i can't believe we allowed it to get this badly
we should have gatekept gaming so fricking hard no one would ever want to play them, gamergate on steroids and real
I would rather games move to a subscription model than have MTX.
If the single purchase/buy a box method is not viable or profitable then a subscription method is preferable to MTX.
Ultimately everything should be unlockable in game. owning the game should allow the player to access everything
>I would rather games move to a subscription model than have MTX.
Are you moronic...
WoW has sub and MTX
FF14 has sub and MTX
It's not either or. mtx is here to stay for the forseeable future. Only way mtx goes away is if it's made illegal.
>Only way mtx goes away is if it's made illegal.
Or consumers vote with their wallets. Or destroying all israelites.
who was in charge of art direction? that font looks awful
What about it looks bad? Sorry it's not Arial or some bubbly font for your zoomer ass.
It hurts to see. I was planning to wait for a sale but now I don't see the point.
The worst thing is that there will be people throwing money at this. It's the RMAH all over again except in a format that zoomers like.
It's blizzard, what do you honestly expect?
>literally just imaginary mobile game diamonds/crystals/gems/coins put into full-priced games
>+300 FREE, +700 FREE, +1500 FREE
It's nothing new, I know. But it's beyond stupid every time I see something like this
Everything about this interface looks designed to tickle the lizard brain of cash shop addicts.
>i can't believe we allowed it to get this badly
PoE has stash tabs you need to buy, fragment season specific tabs you need to buy (and both of these are not really optional), 30-40 dollar costumes, loot boxes, AND a fricking season pass (Kirac's).
Not only was there no pushback on any of this shit, PoE players defended it every step at the way.
Of fricking COURSE Blizzard would look at that and go "lol we'll do the same, but remove the boxes and charge for the game to make it seem more premium" when they have the more valuable IP
>Skin costs 2800 shekels
>Buy the 2500 pack
>Missing 300
>Buy the 3.. 500 pack
>30 dollars spent
>Good goy
Why weren't these skins included in the base game? It's not out yet.
I thought the bottle said cum originally.
Look forward to seeing everyone come back and complain when Season 2 starts adding non-cosmetics to the shop. Hope you enjoyed buying Stashes from POE cause there is no way Blizzard isn't doing the same.
I would estimate Season 3 will be a new area that you have to earn from the SP (OR PURCHASE FOR INSTANT ACCESS!!!!).
Blizzdrones will eat up anything because they played diablo 2 and warcraft 3 in their childhood
WC3 is my favorite game ever and i enjoyed D2 yet i wouldn't touch any nu-blizzard game even at gunpoint, Blizzturds are either braindead normies with no taste whatsoever or the new LGBT2A+++ abominations that blizzard keeps catering towards with all their new games, even redditards point out how bad their newer games have become, tho most of them are still too stupid to not give them any more money
While you guys arguing about being paypigs i'm going back to grim yawn and let the monetization for you ok ?
What the hell is the point of this being a loot game?
Why do they make the currency some bullshit? Why not just put $28.00?
You were warned.
This redditoid is complaining now, but eventually he will buy the overpriced cosmetic cash shop set and he will be happy.
looks kinda cool
How are people getting excited for an even more unbalanced D3?
Are people this moronic?
Why do you think bobby kotick is so ruthless. You mistreat fans like this, and they lap it up like dogs.
I get that there are tons of room temp IQ gamers like
, but it's crazy to me how these same people complain about D3 or say they got bored with the game, it's literally no different than diablo 4
Cosmetics? I thought the point of those games was to collect the gear yourself.
The point is to give blizzard money you fricking poor piece of shit
I mean I don't care, I haven't given Blizzard money in like 15 years.
I remember when blizzard started to charge 20~ bucks for a name change many years ago and a horde of people were defending it. There’s literally nothing people won’t pay for. They literally sell air in bottles now a days.
You get what you fricking deserve
you'll still buy it, so why are you even pretending to be mad?
no, i won't
lol
Yes you will
>the exact same defense squad replies for the third time
how much do they pay you pajeets? 1 cent per (you) or is it per thread?
55k a year, sucker mother fricker
thats 550k posts per year. take a break
holy sirs that much more than i earn by cleaning turds from the streets sirs
im so jealous sirs
Shut the frick up your mouth, b***h Black person.
>muh corporate shill in a literally unimportant website bogeyman!
you can cope all you want, even reddit can cope along with you, at the end of the day, hundreds of millions of autists, brand loyalists and others will buy it, buy the mtx, buy the dlc, etc etc
>cash shops are...le bad??
why?
>w-well they hust are okay, peruvians on Ganker said so!
Ok but what do you think?
>just read the h*ckin thread cash shops le bad!
just imaging the amount of amazing games you can buy for 28$, looking a bit different in a full priced game is never worth as much.
Ganker be like

when will it fricking end, when will consumers say enough is enough
Never ever, unless we elect a ton of non moronic (not conservatives) to regulate the frick out of every industry that exists. Everything everywhere has gone up in price and it’s simply because morons are willing to pay for everything.
Just go to the grocery store and look how much people are willing to spend for the most basic shit. Look how much eggs are, look how egg companies keep posting record profits.
Game companies keep posting record profits.
regulation isn't the answer, consumer advocacy is, and neither conservatives or democrats will do anything, you need an outsider
Consumer advocacy groups were formed to protect and empower consumers. They protect people from unsafe products, false advertising, and corrupt businesses. They do this through the use of information, political influence, protests, campaigning, and legal action.
So they get politicians to regulate?
i don't think consumer advocates bother with gaming at all, there needs to be more
you will never get anything done through law or regulation because the corporations own the uniparty, what you need to achieve is to convince the consumer that just a little bit of restraint means they are in control of what corporations are capable of doing, that's the message that needs to be driven home, there needs to be a change in values
You're a moron and you don't understand the first thing about the economy.
Sorry I hurt your feelings by calling conservatives moronic.
I mean isn't this just more proof that democracy, whether in politics or in economics, is a sham in the face of the sheer stupidity of the average person nowadays?
I absolutely believe only a small subset of people should guide humanity, the rest of us are human cattle benefitting off of the advancements of the truly enlightened few...

$70

OOF
GUYS THEY BORROWED CONCEPTS FROM PREVIOUS GAMES AND CHANGED THE NAME THAT MEANS IT CANT BE GOOD AND YOU ARE MISINTERPRETING YOUR OWN OPINION FOR LIKING IT
They borrowed concepts that made D3 horrible and ported it to D4. Just like how nobody liked D3's damage multiplier heavy itemization and the developers even acknowledged how moronic D3 damage numbers are and said D4 won't reach that level, yet D4 already has 7 billion damage numbers before it gets released.
'arpgs' aka diabloclones are a bad genre, the whole formula is bad.
The original premise was executed well in diablo 1 and 2 but it's one of those "masterpieces defined by its constraints". It was new and fresh and done well. So well, in fact, that remaking the game is pointless.
Tech has moved on. Top-down view is mostly a relic but it's still good for isometric rpgs, board game simulators, and real time strategy.
>tech has moved on from isometric camera perspectives
What kind of autism is this? That’s like saying tech has moved on from 2D platformers. People’s enjoyment of these games isn’t a function of current technological advancements. PoE is a better ARPG than Borderlands 2 even though the former has an isometric camera perspective, and the latter is a totally ebic shooter with reddit humor throughout.
borderlands 2 is an fps and I find it miserable with the loud sounds and bright visuals.
"Top-down arpgs" like path of exile, diablo 3+, inquisitor martyr, etc, even titan quest, they're all shit. Braindead enemies zerg rush you and die in one hit for 90+% of the gameplay. Bosses are tanky and have one gimmick. MMOs are famously weak on gameplay and do this better. It's just a shiny box distraction while your brain melts.
>It's just a shiny box distraction while your brain melts.
You’ve just described gaming. How are ARPGs any more a waste of time than any of your favorite games?
even within the context of gaming, diablo clones are among the most menial
I guess I just don’t see the difference. If you’re burnt out on ARPGs, that’s different than them being uniquely bad for how poorly they respect your time. I’ve got 2k hours in PoE. That sounds like a lot, and you might say “why didn’t you do something productive,” but those 2k hours are spread out over five years. I like ARPGs because once I understand the mechanics, I can turn my brain off and listen to an audiobook while I play. I don’t consider this any worse of a use of my time than anything else to be honest.

classic bait n switch incoming. Wait for reviewers to praise how great the game is, then gut it with microtransactions on release. Not buying your glorified mobile game, blizz.
>dont actually want to play diablo 4 at all
>still tempted to buy it just because I cant believe im saying that
help me
Honestly, I get it. I've been itching to buy a playstation 5 even though I have no reason to. It's hard to fight that completionist idort urge
The only hope is that there will be enough backlash to put an end to this, like the real money auction house or whatever bullshit they tried when D3 first came out. Its not like the game doesn't already have a standard edition, a deluxe edition, what looks to be battle passes etc... this is excessive and sickening (which describes pretty much everything Blizz has done in recent years).
Every recent Blizzard game got mechanically ruined by these CEO leeches and you think you're safe? Diablo's marketing budget works wonders it seems.
Speaking of whales, zoomers are mostly poor. It’s middle aged people and up that are whales. You never saw a 17 or 21 year old in some interview about spending tens of thousands on second life or some shit. The people I know that bought star citizen ships in the thousands are 40-50.
zoomers still come from middle class families most of the time. They got daddy's or mommy's money to get stuff from. or the nepotism job they got at their parents' or someone they knew company

Imagine thinking that Blizzard of all companies wasn't going to jump on the opportunity to milk people with cosmetics after seeing how easily games like PoE pull it off.
Even when I was in 6 years old in 2006 I saw the writing on the wall on how shit modern gaming is. Now it's fricking remakes
Remake your bed, munchkin.

I don't know how many real world dollars to coins it took in overwatch to get a skin back in the day, but I doubt it was near as much and it had a lot more of an effect than it would here despite just being cosmetic. Pretty wild

>A cash shop in a game worth 90 dollars is okay
?????
are people really trying to argue that the 70 dollar game with 90 and 100 dollar versions is comparable to a f2p game because they both have cash shops?
what do you think all tehse kids will be doing day 1? playing their 70 dollar versions? no, itll be the 90+ dollar versions lol
thats just to install the game, and they will be milking these kids for years
what you see in the cash shop of POE is after like 10+ years of a f2p game , what do you think d4 is gonna look like after 10 years lol, guaranteed youll be buying max level boosts and pets that follow you around buffing you or looting for you
>he thinks diablo 4 will last 10 years
2-3 years tops before being put into maintenance mode.
>2-3 years
You're lucky to get 1
This is the best part of it all. When people realize it's literally just diablo 3.5 and leave the game, they'll pull the old OW2 card and apologize about cancelling the future updates for the game.
>5k hours
>more experienced
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
More hours than you. Haven't played in 2 years more than a day because the game is trash. Sorry that you're still playing it and still haven't got to maps yet.
One day though, right?
>Sorry that you're still playing it and still haven't got to maps yet.

This is the best you can come up with huh? I can tell you haven't played at all with how moronic you sound lol.

Yeah, we're done here.

this gay is literally a marketer for GGG. Uses literal marketing claims like "Product Y is the best selling X in America (for the 2 hour period on the 4th day of sale on the weekend only)!"
yet it still had higher numbers after it lost those players day 1. Don't worry though, I'm sure POE will die next league. LOL
Higher number than previous leagues*
>Don't worry though, I'm sure POE will die next league
>Bex can't handle reality

Yes, the current league has the highest concurrent player number even 1 month into the league.
>Day 25
Why did he not use day 30 for 'one month'? I'll tell you: lower than Ritual numbers LOL
Why is he not showing percentages? You know why
absolutely PATHETIC for a league that started with 40k MORE PLAYERS THAN ANY OTHER LEAGUE TO DATE
LOL
end yourself, Bex

I'm sure double loot goblins is incredible content.

I'm sure you believe that diabloBlack person.
more hours and experience than you in PoE, daily reminder.
I will never purchase a game with a cosmetics shop. If I can't unlock something in a reasonable time frame, then it was clearly withheld to catch whales.
IM NOT BUYING D4 FRICK BLIZZARD
Lol who cares. Nobody with a braincell is going to buy these. Let the whales fund further development for us.
it never works that way, you cucklefrick
Well then stop buying that shit, you imbecile.
People who buy this global homosexual shareholding game deserve be gangbanged by trannies have throat slit and trannies shit down there throat.
Or even worse stay alive and end up working for global homosexual company where there boss is a troony and they have bend the knees daily.
Utter scum support globalist shareholding companies like this.
FRICK YOU WANKERS WASTE MONEY ON THIS GAY SHIT
Go drink bud light
Why the frick are there mounts and pets in a Diablo game? What fricking purpose to mounts and pets serve in a fricking ARPG?
Does Blizzard figure that because all the dumb autistic whales in Retail WoW like to buy their shitty cash shop mounts and pets, that people playing a game that isn't even an MMO will want mounts and pets? That this is just the universal way to earn money in a cash shop because playing cosmetic mount Pokemon is popular in MMOs for some reason?
>Does Blizzard figure that because all the dumb autistic whales in POE like to buy their shitty cash shop mounts and pets
ftfy
Unironically, blizzard has been seething since POE found a way to make millions monetizing garbage to morons that blizzard used to give out for free
Cause big world with less loading screens so you gotta move faster without needing broken teleport item
>put mount in game
>dont implement mounted combat
Why blizzard is so incompetent?
sacred 2 chads we dont even have to waste money to get new mounts AND we have mounted combat, we can't stop winning
So how does Lost Ark compare to D4? I'm itching for an ARPG, but after this thread I know for a fact I'm not spending a cent on Diablo.
Lost ark sucks cause you gotta constantly talk to npcs and get new quests and shit. It’s a legit mmo with the Argp camera. I didn’t get to endgame. I just wanted lots of combat, I liked the combat that was there. Felt nice.
Also the game can rape you with cash shop like everything else
ITT: malding poorgays
I'll go ahead and whale for far better content, thank you.
>ok with cosmetic cash shop
>complains about the price
Just drop the nukes already.
Horse armor wasn’t just cosmetic, it was armor
damn that looks FIRE buying it day one fr
Will the PoE ex-girlfriend and PoE defender please get a room where they can ERP to their hearts content?
will you ever get accepted as a janny?
Paypigs love buying games that withholds content for extra cash, market is getting flooded with this shit because it works.
>game isn't even out yet
>there's already microtransaction content
>that means Blizzard used time they could have spent on the core game making paywalled shit
if you buy this you are really a cuck
Well modern culture is creating cucks at a frightening rate, there will be plenty of customers.
Daily reminder that the Diablo 2 COMMUNITY, not Blizzard, created a pay to win economy before any mega corp or anyone else did.
And that community still exists and is still paying 🙂
what the hell are you talking about
You can at this very moment pay real money to buy a stone of Jordan or any other Diablo 2 item you desire. And that has been the case for 23 years.
A peer to peer marketplace is completely different you brain dead gay.
How? You paying a Chinese kid to win is different than paying Blizzard to win?
Uh, YES. Frick these corporations who think they can milk us dry. I'd pay Chang 10 times out of 10.
Ok, how is it different? What if Mr Chang is part of an operations with 100 workers farming day and night for your precious item? That happened all the time in wow and other mmos.
If you are willing to pay either, you’re the actual problem. And D2 showed blizzard and everyone else that there’s a frickton of homosexuals they can milk.
An open marketplace means I could also be buying it from Timmy down the street. So your boogyman isn't the real alternative to Blizzard. Anyway, yes I would literally rather pay a crime syndicate than Blizzard, for anything.
Yes after you bought the blizzard game, then you’d pay the criminal syndicate. (The second criminal syndicate amirite? Oh ho ho)
Yes, I pay the price of the game once. After that the dev gets no more money. Sorry but they just don't, okay?
What if a dlc comes out and your friends got it and you can’t play with them anymore? Like an act V featuring Baal or some shit
>what if you don't buy the expansion, you don't get to play the expansion
Is Ganker going to have a problem with expansions now too?
I always had a problem with expansions and I’m on Ganker so that means Ganker has always had a problem with expansions
>I always had a problem with expansions
No you didn't. You being dishonest is only making your point look (even more) ridiculous and childish.
Diablo truly has mindbroken this board I guess.
I did, you usually pay 1/2 to 3/4 the price of the base game for 1/5 or less of the content added, usually far less. Like a 15 hour game adding a campaign that lasts 2 hours. Then in multiplayer it fricks with the maps/servers and splits people. And some games have so many and I’d be like enough is enough but the friend keeps going.
Very few games did expansions well.
>I did
No you didn't. That's just the new narrative you are going with because it suits you. Same shit as the people now claiming that D3 was good (lol), etc
When a new form of israelitery shows up you will say that you were okay with DLC too or when/if Diablo 5 ever happens you will argue that Diablo 4 was actually a great game. It's just how contrarian autism brain functions.
I did, friend bought Condition Zero, I didnt. Battlefield 2 had so many. I bought spec ops, but I sure as frick wasn’t buying Euro forces, but friends did many examples Anon. Also I DO like Diablo 3.
>I did
Sorry man but you didn't.
>I DO like Diablo 3
Of course you do 😉
See you’re the one mindraped by the internet. I’m just talking like a normal person. Tens of millions bought and played Diablo 3 and had fun. Hell you might have as well before you become what you are now.
>Tens of millions bought and played Diablo 3 and had fun
And tens of millions will do the same with Diablo 4. There you go, you just closed the case for me.
I mean I agree with that, I don’t know how that relates to what we were saying though. I’m gonna get D4 eventually too and I’m gonna have fun.
>I don’t know how that relates to what we were saying though
And yet, you used it as a 'counter argument' abut something I said. Interesting.
Maybe you’re getting anons confused. I’m anon. Maybe it was anon that said it.
>it w-wasn't me
I accept your concession. EZ btw.
Just quote what you are referring to. It’s real EZ to do.
>how that relates to what we were saying
>we were saying

Of course you don't.

What does your massive chain of replies have anything to do with the conversation WE were having?
>I wasn't involved in the conversation that I just admitted to be involved with, it wasn't me it was someone else trust me
Keep em coming
That's not cosmetic or p2w moron lol
you can use a character editor to give yourself any diablo 2 item you want
I don't know what the story is now but back in the early 00s that was the online experience
Yes people have always cheated. Your solution is to add the cheats into the base game, genius.

Yeah consoomers are destroying the hobby, every game is just made to suck out money from dumb paypigs now.
Why does it matter? Instead of blaming the developers or corporations, let's acknowledge that it's the public who holds the power as consumers. They are the ones willingly spending their money on cash shops. If the public exercised self-control, these cash shops would cease to exist immediately.

To that list. Says enough
CHALLENGE: Make a critical argument about how your joy is diminished by paid cosmetics existing without bringing up the cost (this just outs you as a poorgay -- only poorgays care about money or how others spend theirs).
It reveals developer intent and none of it is good for the end consumer.
PoE cutting out quality of life and the best cosmetics and relegating it to the store is good intent? They just use the excuse that it's a "supporter's package" and you thirdies eat it up hook line and sinker. What you really hate is that Blizzard isn't being ambiguous with the messaging and massaging your ego.
At least PoE is free to try.
The "season" will be a quick asset flip dungeon they half assed at last minute. Real content will be paid expansions.
>free to try
So was diablo 4, millions tried it for free, liked it and preordered it. Still doesn't excuse a horrible UI, no quality of life, rampant community approved RMT etc.
>paid expansions
This is why the meme that bait threads are started by third world poors. An expansion is probably an entire village of mud huts for you guys.
Seeing as how the gameplay is confirmed great how does that matter? The game is $70 like every new game. It's confirmed to have a lot of content and great gameplay. Seasons, as always, are free.
Your only basis is some headcanon boogeyman that MIGHT happened without basis. By all means, if Blizzard does started integrating p2w they absolutely should be crucified but there's no indicators that will happen.
I can't get the cosmetics by playing the game? If I see something that looks cool in game I want to be able to get it by playing the game.
It incentivises the developeres to make normal gear look like shit. Because if the normal gear looked better no one would buy anything.
it tells me the that the devs who are working on the game are talentless because the focus of the game is making shitty costumes for whales to buy. pretty simple. publishers don't need to hire actual talented people when they can just hire trannies and freaks for ESG points while milking the whales destroying the entire franchise along the way. just look at cod
holy shit blizzard interns absolutely SEETHING rn LOL
>t.
IDK why people b***hing about the premium cosmetics. They look like shit compared to the base retail equipment + dye variations. Kind of ironic that people who are fervently against the game also are triggered so hard over the fact they don't get to look like a moron like every other buygay.
If you're stupid enough to buy blizzard products you deserve to get scammed.
Just play something else, don't support the greedy globohomosexual nu-blizzard if you want to make the world a better place.
