GOOD arpgs like diablo 2, Grim Dawn, Titan Quest or Torchlight 2 all have offline singleplayer AND online multiplayer.

They can keep cranking out extra paid content and you'll continue buying it because you don't see the problem or care how it cascades across the industry. >Literally just don’t buy the cosmetics

Frick off, cosmetic content is content all the same >but they need to make money bro
They already have several editions of the game itself, future expansion packs, and even the battle pass premium tracks; they have enough forms of monetization. If they add additional, paid cosmetics exclusive to purchase with "premium currency" atop it, well they can frick right off. That's just greed.

You're the reason that these companies get away with this bullshit, zoomzoom. Cosmetics are absolutely fricking content. If you could choose between a game where you character always looked like they were wearing the same rusty chainmail and blunt sword they started with and one that had different appearances for each weapon or armor component, you'd want the latter, right?
Cosmetic content is absolutely desirable thats why they fricking sell it - they just figured out that tards could be swindled and there would be less outcry bringing korean item shop nonsense, gacha and other bullshit over here so long as it didnt make the damage numbers go up or whatever the frick. There was a time when we got all the cosmetics included in our games without having to pay, much less the stupid normalized outlandish amounts now.

I'm sorry you've been brainwashed. Content does not only mean "things that make the numbers go up" and you can't do "all the same things" you can't have those appearances without paying additional money. All assets in the game are part of its content - the same way that even back in the day when people playing SNES era Final Fantasy games got to see the differences in the weapon and attack animations, it was part of the game's content that made it a more enjoyable experience than if the Iron Knife had the same model and attack animation as the Ultima Weapon or Excalibur or whatever the frick.
Back during the early days of EverQuest and a lot of the other Western subscription MMOs (you got ALL the cosmetics in the purchase of the game and subscription. You paid your sub and got to unlock them in game. You didn't have to pay a surcharge atop it to get certain outfits - you just had to seek them out in game. That was the brilliance of the subscription era where it was you got access to the sandbox+themepark and once you were there you could do what you wanted. Now, thanks to greed and the proliferation that somehow cosmetic content isn't content or doesn't matter, that isn't the case. The guy who wants to earn a clown suit of best-in-slots is fine, but the one who wanted to collect all the gleaming white paladin armor sets or the floppy mage hats or whatever the frick can't do that if some of them have been cut out to be sold a la carte, exclusively.
>just don't buy cosmetics >just don't buy sets >just don't buy loot boxes >just don't buy +all stats pots >just don't instant dungeon clearing
And so on and so on and so on..
Blizzard engineers are still pretty good, this will be a title that's safe to buy on PC day one.
Game might be shit though since it's Blizzard in general
Don't know what i'm counting for but someone would be cool enough to exchange D4 pre-order for any games from humble from last couple months?
Had money prepped but some Black person stole my sons bike and gonna use it up to get him his dream one.

probably means armor works more or less like it does in poe, reducing damage by a flat value. eg 10 armor = 1 damage less taken. the chink was unable to communicate properly or tried to obfuscate deliberately
Better graphics than before
No tedium involved in trying out new builds
D2 Black folk truly do not get to talk about speed when sorc exists
Nothing made d2 good because it wasn't actually good. Ergo altering literally anything improved the game
The graphics were absolutely not better. The art style was objectively awful. >no tedium involved

It can't be dumbed down when it has more build depth. D3 is a more complex game in every regard
It just doesn't have a worthless timesink if you want to test a different build

>has would absolutely demolish games like GW2
isnt that also from like 2008? wow does not look good or remotely modern, your perspective on games is broken by playing an ancient casual game for adult moms.
Shockingly reasonable specs for a AAA game in 2023. It's refreshing to see them not trying to hide their incompetence and lack of optimization behind just listing the latest graphics card as recommended.
>Literally just a stream showing a slideshow of basic graphs indicating systems and values that anybody who plays games will have a basic understanding of
Holy shit.
No, in PoE defense mechanics are not intuitive by any stretch of the imagination and are completely overhauled every 2 years as a "break glass" button after a bad PR league cycle.
You then find out in the "bugfix" fine print errata of a patch 3 cycles later that a literally defined mechanic "e.g. DOTs deal damage faster/slower" actually just didn't work at all for 3 content cycles. Oops!
[Memebox]not a blizzdrone, just sick of Chris "fat fricking moron" Wilson's shit[/memebox]
All this rambling about armor and damage scaling is so dumb. This is all arbitrary and doesn't even make sense without knowing how the combat and damage even works. And then it's still only for some theorycrafters that write the sweetspots into guides for the drones to follow.
then you are not a diablo fan. no one wants to play slow diablo. if the gameplay stays this slow then good fricking luck, d4 will will need a lot of it

The following weekend, March 24 to 26, the Open Beta will be available to everyone.
meme answer: emulate the switch version like resurrected
real answer: it'll probably take from 1 week to 1 year until someone releases a proper emulated server for solo play
Yup, already preordered the 100$ edition. D3 is shit, but it still killed a few hundred hours for me, so even if this is just as bad, it won't be too big of a waste.
Unfortunately the ARPG market has no fricking competition, especially since half of them went to mobile shit like Torchlight. Grim Dawn is great but doesn't get updates, so you basically have PoE, Diablo, and Last Epoch. Even a shitty ARPG will at least give me a break from D2 or PoE.
played all 3 diablos on release date but think i will skip this
seeing the words "battle pass" just feels bad anymore. tired of it. i already do dailies in genshin impact, i'm not logging into two games daily against my will
>i already do dailies in genshin impact
I actually enjoyed Genshin for a long time, at one point I was grinding for quality artifacts for Yelan and I realized I had been doing it for like two months and I had been getting trash.
Sort of a "hamster realizes what the wheel is" moment, haven't played Genshin since, been about a year and a half I think. I agree, this shit is getting exhausting.
>Sort of a "hamster realizes what the wheel is" moment
I'm glad I played D2 as a kid so I had this moment early. Not that it helps me avoid repeating my mistakes, but at least I know I'm making them.
genshin impact isnt a hamster wheel game though because only a fricking absolute moron would play it to grind artifact domains (for what, ten minutes a day max?)
did you ignore all the various quests and events during your months of grinding? lmao or just trying to shit on something you havent played?
>not getting good artifacts for your characters
I had 100% the game at that point. I know Sumeru is around now, but I had completed everything up to that patch, or rather a patch or two before Sumeru was released. Don't take things so personally you cuck, Mihoyo doesn't need your protection.
>genshin impact isnt a hamster wheel game though
Fricking lol. Yeah no this F2P gacha game that randomizes loot and gives you a drip of currencies funneled to you by daily quests isn't a hamster wheel game. Of course anon.
>literally cant run the hamster wheel >ITS A HAMSTER WHEEL GAME
the point of the game is you fricking stop playing when you don't have content to play
it's YOUR pathological misunderstanding of video games that you think they're supposed to be life replacements that you nolife in front of all day every day
I'd rather have my presenters to be people I could believe do actual work on the game, rather than salesmen and con artists who speak good and nothing but.
>recommended specs >for medium settings
So...how fricking new are these people to making a PC game? Recommended specs are for running everything full-bore. Why are they afraid to show what the real recommended specs are?
yeah cant wait to be excited to wait in a 90k player queue or for the servers to be absolute dogshit and the game to be playable only the week after WOOHOO BLIZZARD I LOVE YOU
i'll w8 a little after release for feedback about the game & bugs and all, then if it seems good i will buy and have fun because I really enjoy this series overall. Looking good from the trailers at least, although it is clear that any marketing communication from big companies dont prove anything these days. >but you can't just not play it on release ! muh 1st week hype !!!
Im no adhd Black person, i'll wait for a bit after release, and so should you my friends. go play comfy games to wait, like pz or valheim.
Haven't kept up
Is necromancer shown and if so, is it still able to do a pure pet build like the witch doctor or D2 necro or are we getting the same shitty D3 one
the d3 addon was a financial success but still the second addon got cancelled. the question is, if it meets expectations not if it's financially successful.
shareholders want growth.
Diablo games always aimed for low to mid-end PCs. It woildn't make sense to change it now.

>but they need to make money bro
They already have several editions of the game itself, future expansion packs, and even the battle pass premium tracks; they have enough forms of monetization. If they add additional, paid cosmetics exclusive to purchase with "premium currency" atop it, well they can frick right off. That's just greed.
Cosmetics are absolutely not content you moronic Black person
Yes they are, shill. Rewards are part of any content structure.
You can have new content with no rewards
You cannot have just rewards and call it content
You're a moron.
>You cannot have just rewards and call it content
You can if those cosmetic rewards come from PLAYING THE GAME. Dumb motherfricker. Look around at the fricking state of the industry and then have a nice day for the role you played in making it this way.
You sound mad. Maybe the game just isn’t for you; you’re not obligated to buy anything.
I simply don’t care about cosmetics so it’s a non issue for me
>You sound mad.
Yeah I am fricking mad because tumors like you killed my hobby.
Get a life lmao. Video games are not a hobby, they’re an idle time sink for when you have nothing else to do. They’re no different than binging a Netflix show for 8 hours a day
Then get off my video game hobbyist board you normalBlack person shill moron. Every reply you give makes it more and more obvious that you're here on Blizzard's dime.
And you’re here getting upset about something you can simply choose to not partake in.. for free.
Consuming media is not a hobby. Reading is not a hobby. Listening to music is not a hobby.
>And you’re here getting upset about something you can simply choose to not partake in
No, I can't choose not to partake in the cascading effects across the industry when other companies notice that excessive monetization like this gets no backlash and they decide to do similar models. That's why battlepasses are fricking everywhere now.
>Consuming media is not a hobby.
Okay then you'll leave my video game hobbyist board and go shill somewhere else.
>dude why do you even care video games are for losers lol
How do you homosexuals end up here?
Because I like video games. I wouldn’t tell people I meet that my hobbies include video games same as I wouldn’t tell somebody I like watching TV or lifting weights lol
ARPGs are 10x better now than in the past.
PoE completely mogs everything else and has a ton of cosmetic mtx
>PoE
>mogs everything else
Your bloated grindy GAAS doesn't mog shit
It has better itemisation system.
PoE is the undisputed king of arpgs
Which build are we going this league bros? The one where we hold down one button and the screen explodes?
>Not playing he one where we hold down one button and two screens explode
ngmi
Diablo needed to copy item design instead of enforcing get a set -> green arrows on same items good, would make game infinitely more interesting
It already has LoD/LoN builds
You're complaining about an issue that doesn't exist
WHO CARES ABOHT COSMETICS??
Are you autistic?
lol
>these parts of the game are not parts of the game
blizzdrones, everyone.
lmao even.
You're the reason that these companies get away with this bullshit, zoomzoom. Cosmetics are absolutely fricking content. If you could choose between a game where you character always looked like they were wearing the same rusty chainmail and blunt sword they started with and one that had different appearances for each weapon or armor component, you'd want the latter, right?
Cosmetic content is absolutely desirable thats why they fricking sell it - they just figured out that tards could be swindled and there would be less outcry bringing korean item shop nonsense, gacha and other bullshit over here so long as it didnt make the damage numbers go up or whatever the frick. There was a time when we got all the cosmetics included in our games without having to pay, much less the stupid normalized outlandish amounts now.
It being desirable does not make it content
You can play a game with no cosmetics whatsoever and still have all the content to enjoy
You can't do the same with all cosmetics and nothing else because COSMETICS ARENT CONTENT
>THINGS IN THE GAME AREN'T CONTENT
welcome to 2023 everyone.
Correct
Stats are not content
Cosmetics are not content
Systems are not content
Content is something you actually play through, which is why you can have a game without cosmetics just fine
Sorry you got blown out maybe don't embarass yourself publicly next time
LOL
blizzdrones truly are something to behold.
>Content is something you actually play through
so if they add a new class to the game thats not content?
new books containing lore?
lmao
and yes, if they add a new stat to a game thats content you absolute brainwashed zoomer frick.
Lorebooks are not content, no, that's fluff
Stats are game mechanics, not content
Classes are not content because again, you can easily have a classes game but not vice versa
>things that make up the game aren't content
blizzdrones
lol
lmao even
I'm sorry you've been brainwashed. Content does not only mean "things that make the numbers go up" and you can't do "all the same things" you can't have those appearances without paying additional money. All assets in the game are part of its content - the same way that even back in the day when people playing SNES era Final Fantasy games got to see the differences in the weapon and attack animations, it was part of the game's content that made it a more enjoyable experience than if the Iron Knife had the same model and attack animation as the Ultima Weapon or Excalibur or whatever the frick.
Back during the early days of EverQuest and a lot of the other Western subscription MMOs (you got ALL the cosmetics in the purchase of the game and subscription. You paid your sub and got to unlock them in game. You didn't have to pay a surcharge atop it to get certain outfits - you just had to seek them out in game. That was the brilliance of the subscription era where it was you got access to the sandbox+themepark and once you were there you could do what you wanted. Now, thanks to greed and the proliferation that somehow cosmetic content isn't content or doesn't matter, that isn't the case. The guy who wants to earn a clown suit of best-in-slots is fine, but the one who wanted to collect all the gleaming white paladin armor sets or the floppy mage hats or whatever the frick can't do that if some of them have been cut out to be sold a la carte, exclusively.
>just don't buy cosmetics
>just don't buy sets
>just don't buy loot boxes
>just don't buy +all stats pots
>just don't instant dungeon clearing
And so on and so on and so on..
and which of those things have actually been confirmed for d4??

holy frick it's just /misc/ schizos this whole time
ban them all on sight from this board and it would improve 10x
It’s been EXPLICITLY stated that in game currency is only for cosmetics. Paying offers no competitive advantage.

Blizzard engineers are still pretty good, this will be a title that's safe to buy on PC day one.
Game might be shit though since it's Blizzard in general
>doesn't remember every single day 1 launch of a blizzard game in the past 10 years
Even shills think you're full of shit.
I remember playing the diablo 3 launch just fine
Diablo 3 launch was literally one of their worst, if not the worst. You could've picked almost any Blizzard release.
Day 1 is always a shitshow for any online game
this has to be fricking bait
frick this game
frick you if you buy it on pc
diablo is for consoles since d3 deal with it
D4 on consoles requires a monthly fee
Don't know what i'm counting for but someone would be cool enough to exchange D4 pre-order for any games from humble from last couple months?
Had money prepped but some Black person stole my sons bike and gonna use it up to get him his dream one.

Some people (nerds) are into it. I'm just here for cool armors.
>level up
>armor gets worse
???
probably means armor works more or less like it does in poe, reducing damage by a flat value. eg 10 armor = 1 damage less taken. the chink was unable to communicate properly or tried to obfuscate deliberately
but that's not how it works in poe

Immortal was made by Netease as a way to steal money from the Chinese, blizzard provided a handful of staff and the IP
Oh is that why the game only came out in China?
Oh it did come out in US
Oh but the US version wasn't p2w
Oh it was
Imagine supoorting another diablo after 3
D3 was good so...?
>WoW cartoon graphics
>rune system making it impossible to frick Up a build
>go FAST
it was bad. They destroyed everything that made d2 good
>>go FAST
>it was bad.
laughs in PoE
Better graphics than before
No tedium involved in trying out new builds
D2 Black folk truly do not get to talk about speed when sorc exists
Nothing made d2 good because it wasn't actually good. Ergo altering literally anything improved the game
The graphics were absolutely not better. The art style was objectively awful.
>no tedium involved
Right, they just dumbed it down for console Black folk. It wasn’t a successor it was a completely different game and should never have been part of the franchise
It can't be dumbed down when it has more build depth. D3 is a more complex game in every regard
It just doesn't have a worthless timesink if you want to test a different build
There is no skill or intelligence involved in tedious rerolling
D3 release Inferno shat all over d2 difficulty no contest. You're coping about doing the literal bare minimum to avoid a newbie trap as some sort of skill expression because that's the most skill you could ever muster
The game looks gay. You sound like a homosexual so it makes sense that you loved it. Did you get the Diablo 3 dildo to ride while you played your gay game?
>tranime

Lmao. Are you 12? Blizzard has always made their games accessible to as many people as possible, from toasters to the upper crust.
What about the Deck?
Deck should be way capable at its native display res, comes in above the Recommended settings even.

Blizzard were maybe the first to use DX12 properly, it gave WoW a big boost in CPU bottlenecked areas like cities.

>WoW runs butter smooth on DX12 and it's an MMO
wow is a game from 2004 bro.
Sure but it looks a lot different from when it first released and the amount of spell effects that WoW has would absolutely demolish games like GW2
>Sure but it looks a lot different from when it first released
no it doesn't. looks exactly the same. the engine doesn't support modern features
>has would absolutely demolish games like GW2
isnt that also from like 2008? wow does not look good or remotely modern, your perspective on games is broken by playing an ancient casual game for adult moms.

Yes it does. Like are you moronic or what.

Shockingly reasonable specs for a AAA game in 2023. It's refreshing to see them not trying to hide their incompetence and lack of optimization behind just listing the latest graphics card as recommended.
The game will probably suck though.

YOU DON'T FRICKING SAY
These morons played their first game ever last weekend. Give them a break. They're still figuring things out.
damn, a modern game that doesnt require a 4090 to run at 60fps?
shame it's blizzard
Paragon system confirmed coming to d4
So when's the beta? Next month?
Yes March 17-19 is the early access and the following weekend 24-26 is open.
Don't care. If it's not F2P I won't play it.
What a giant waste of time to say "item with bigger number is better".
Does that also apply to PoE?
No, in PoE defense mechanics are not intuitive by any stretch of the imagination and are completely overhauled every 2 years as a "break glass" button after a bad PR league cycle.
You then find out in the "bugfix" fine print errata of a patch 3 cycles later that a literally defined mechanic "e.g. DOTs deal damage faster/slower" actually just didn't work at all for 3 content cycles. Oops!

Frick the French.
>spoilers
I kneel
this damage number shit is so fricking cringe
divide everything by a factor of 100 or some shit you fricking monkeys
I'm having a hard time understanding this guys accent Ganker bros
All this rambling about armor and damage scaling is so dumb. This is all arbitrary and doesn't even make sense without knowing how the combat and damage even works. And then it's still only for some theorycrafters that write the sweetspots into guides for the drones to follow.
Kinda worried when millennials takeover game franchises. Doubt I’ll be buying any blizzard games any time soon and just replay classics
Game looks pretty awesome not gonna lie
looks slow
Yes, and that's good, I don't want the ADHD spam porting of D2 and D3, I want combat which actually feels immersive and normal lmao.
then you are not a diablo fan. no one wants to play slow diablo. if the gameplay stays this slow then good fricking luck, d4 will will need a lot of it
only morons want to go fast. walking is the best form of gameplay trudging through enemies non-stop
go play some turn based games if diablo is too fast for you

Beta is free right? Better not be some preorder demo shit
yeah, but those who preordered can play in the previous weekend
The first beta is for anyone who pre-ordered the game. That Early Access weekend runs from March 17 to 19.
The following weekend, March 24 to 26, the Open Beta will be available to everyone.
Preorder gets early access to beta, then there’s regular beta. I’m preordering so I will have the early access.
preorder gets you access to the first 3 days, probably lag less then. The free open beta is supposed to be more laggy due to being a stress test.
>battle pass
already stopped caring months ago
>R9 280x 3GB
2013. bros we are still relevant
There is zero reason to.play this. Blizzard is nothing but an old corpse animated by corporate necromancy and it doesn't have a monopoly on the genre.
Yeah but GGG dropped the ball and PoE has become shit so we're back to square one.
it's a reskinned d3 as fricking expected from the reveal
It’s completely different, cuck. The only thing g you gays are consistent about is being wrong about absolutely everything
>gorging on corporate wiener
>calls someone else a cuck
blizz simps are something else.
What you said was factually incorrect. The mechanics are completely different, there’s a skill tree instead of runes
So how can I get this game for free?
meme answer: emulate the switch version like resurrected
real answer: it'll probably take from 1 week to 1 year until someone releases a proper emulated server for solo play
You guys will all still buy and play it
see
yea
I've never played a diablo game before this will be my first
You stupid moron
Play the actually good diablo (2) or any good diabe-girlke like grim dawn
Imagine having a GAAS cashgrab as your first diablo game
everyone beat those already that's no fun
Then play diablo 1 and 2
Depends on the beta really.
i'll wait for Blizzless to crack, just like they cracked D2R and D3
it's an always online game anon
it will be difficult if not impossible, it might take years
Yup, already preordered the 100$ edition. D3 is shit, but it still killed a few hundred hours for me, so even if this is just as bad, it won't be too big of a waste.
Unfortunately the ARPG market has no fricking competition, especially since half of them went to mobile shit like Torchlight. Grim Dawn is great but doesn't get updates, so you basically have PoE, Diablo, and Last Epoch. Even a shitty ARPG will at least give me a break from D2 or PoE.
>always online, no f2p
never played diablo 3, the same will happen with immortal
>immortal
i mean 4, but it's funny that i subconsciously called it that
I don't pay £60 for a video game, especially when I bought the D3 physical collector's edition for £70
played all 3 diablos on release date but think i will skip this
seeing the words "battle pass" just feels bad anymore. tired of it. i already do dailies in genshin impact, i'm not logging into two games daily against my will
>i already do dailies in genshin impact
I actually enjoyed Genshin for a long time, at one point I was grinding for quality artifacts for Yelan and I realized I had been doing it for like two months and I had been getting trash.
Sort of a "hamster realizes what the wheel is" moment, haven't played Genshin since, been about a year and a half I think. I agree, this shit is getting exhausting.
>Sort of a "hamster realizes what the wheel is" moment
I'm glad I played D2 as a kid so I had this moment early. Not that it helps me avoid repeating my mistakes, but at least I know I'm making them.
genshin impact isnt a hamster wheel game though because only a fricking absolute moron would play it to grind artifact domains (for what, ten minutes a day max?)
did you ignore all the various quests and events during your months of grinding? lmao or just trying to shit on something you havent played?
>not getting good artifacts for your characters
I had 100% the game at that point. I know Sumeru is around now, but I had completed everything up to that patch, or rather a patch or two before Sumeru was released. Don't take things so personally you cuck, Mihoyo doesn't need your protection.
>genshin impact isnt a hamster wheel game though
Fricking lol. Yeah no this F2P gacha game that randomizes loot and gives you a drip of currencies funneled to you by daily quests isn't a hamster wheel game. Of course anon.
>literally cant run the hamster wheel
>ITS A HAMSTER WHEEL GAME
the point of the game is you fricking stop playing when you don't have content to play
it's YOUR pathological misunderstanding of video games that you think they're supposed to be life replacements that you nolife in front of all day every day
>no ultra wide support

They just said there is UW support schizo.

I'd rather have my presenters to be people I could believe do actual work on the game, rather than salesmen and con artists who speak good and nothing but.
Are there any ARPGs with a ton of ragdolls and maybe dynamic gore? I mean, just piles upon piles of bodies and bloodstains
lost ark does
any ARPGs not made by Koreans?
Not really. The bodies all disappeared quickly and I rarely saw groups larger than like a dozen enemies max. Similar to D3 ragdolls

i'll w8 a little after release for feedback about the game & bugs and all, then if it seems good i will buy and have fun because I really enjoy this series overall. Looking good from the trailers at least, although it is clear that any marketing communication from big companies dont prove anything these days.

I think they've already shown you can do necro skelleys and golem and then just do some curses
>necromancer
enjoy your 4 shitty pets like the nunecro crap from d3 if there's even necromancer here
d3 necro you can have 1 golem + 7 skeleton warriors permanent and then summoned mages and revives. One set makes it so revives are permanent as well
There is necro gameplay on YT and so, with like a dozen of Skeles and a golem.
That class will be playable at the open beta at

Diablo games always aimed for low to mid-end PCs. It woildn't make sense to change it now.

lol
you think this has stopped these homosexuals before?
For all the shit you can take on Blizzard, performance is not between the common complains.
despite everything blizzard games have always run well, starcraft 2 is a good example with all of the crazy physics shit and particle systems going on simultaneously across hundreds of units

i just played a beta build on 3070 and it ran under 60 fps at 1440p
also the lag is so fricking bad, wtf
got no Ram?
128 gb ram
though 3070 has low vram, only 8gb, so maybe its the problem?
still, 3070 wasnt smooth enough without upscaling or dropping settings
that sounds really weird, maybe some bugged shit
the beta had a memory leak, it was eating up to 19 of my 32 GB often.
but i had always 100-200 FPS on max settings with a 2060super.
dunno, between the server lag and fps drop it just wasnt smooth enough to be acceptable
and outside of the dungeons the overworld is unfinished with lot of dev art, so i worry it might get worse
hope it wont be diablo 3 launch disaster repeat, took weeks for the game to be playable
i also had no lag.
and not often missing art, but that was months ago and will be fine in summer
>and not often missing art,
entire bottom half of overwold is unfinished
dunno if you explored that far, but while dungeons seem "finished", while repetitive as frick with the same 2 layouts, the overworld dosnt have half the detail the dungeons have
i did and it was not that many, outside the town.
apparently only a few dungeons were enabled that time, we saw more types in some videos.
don't care, gonna play Diablo 1 again.
once that's done i'll play Diablo 1 clones.
970 chads stay winning I will never touch another blizzard game though
Closed Beta, ran just fine on Ryzen 5 3500, 16gb ram and a 1650 super
I still hate loot 2.0 and dumb set 40,000% increased damage
An optimized AAA pc game in 2023?
Holy shit it's a miracle
don't worry you'll be lucky to play 5 minutes a day for the first week of launch because blizz servers are trash
First week problems pass, optimization lasts forver
Or until the servers go down
that's true. It could also be like D3 in that the beta portion is super polished and the rest of the game is shit
I just hope my 4700mq + 670m laptop can run this game on 720p. It would be a dream come true...
Demons tongue my butthole
diablo 4 will sell well because of name branding no matter how good or bad it will be.
if D3s performance is any indication and D4 will probably be worse, because blizzard was "competent" back then, youll need 2x this just to be able to open your inventory without waiting 30 seconds for icons to show up.

What?
>playing blizzslop shit
>2023
This game will be amazing, the ONLY thing that can run it into the ground is woke shitfest such as Dragonflight where everyone is a homosexual, troony or some other degenerate creature. PLEASE let it not be the case, I want to see a serious, epic diablo game worthy of the name.
they can easily run it into the ground by listing to noisy shitters like what happened in d3
Wait it won't even have an offline mode?
Fricking Jesus Christ...
